This article provides details of the goals and accomplishments of the Land Use and Health Resource Team composed of public health officials, planners, researchers, extension agents, advocacy organizations, and the development community. The team seeks to understand local land use and health relationships, increase community engagement, and facilitate positive change in policies and the built environment. The team's action plan is (1) research local land use and health relationships; (2) undertake public education and community mobilization; (3) identify interventions, seek funding, and pilot tools to integrate health and planning; and (4) monitor outcomes. In 2005, the team produced a report presenting a picture of local conditions related to health and the built environment. Findings were unveiled at a stakeholder conference, and local best practices and future actions were discussed. A geographic information system-based health impacts tool for use by planners in site plan review was developed. Funding was obtained to facilitate neighborhood organizations to complete self-assessments and develop interventions related to community environments, physical activity, and healthy eating. The team achieved initial goals of creating partnerships and spurring awareness. Future activities include wider field testing of the health impacts tool, participation in a health-oriented master planning process, and monitoring change in health risk behaviors related to changes in the built environment.
本文详细介绍了由公共卫生官员、规划师、研究人员、推广人员、倡导组织和发展社区组成的土地利用与健康资源团队的目标和成就。该团队旨在了解当地土地利用与健康的关系，增强社区参与度，并推动政策和建筑环境的积极变革。该团队的行动计划包括：（1）研究当地土地利用与健康的关系；（2）开展公众教育和社区动员；（3）确定干预措施，寻求资金，并试点整合健康与规划的工具；（4）监测成果。2005年，该团队撰写了一份报告，描绘了与健康和建筑环境相关的当地状况。研究结果在一次利益相关者会议上公布，并讨论了当地的最佳实践和未来行动。开发了一种基于地理信息系统的健康影响工具，供规划师在场地规划审查中使用。获得了资金，以促进社区组织完成自我评估，并制定与社区环境、体育活动和健康饮食相关的干预措施。该团队实现了建立伙伴关系和提高认识的初步目标。未来的活动包括对健康影响工具进行更广泛的实地测试，参与以健康为导向的总体规划过程，以及监测与建筑环境变化相关的健康风险行为的变化。
