“…Moreover, physical activity has a positive impact on human health through cardiovascular health and combined built environment strategies to improve public health [96]. The primary dimensions describing how the built environment affects physical activity are infrastructure, aesthetic qualities, street network design, safety, exercise facilities, density, and intensity [97,98]. We can see that there is a strong linkage between the built environment and physical activity to achieve public health; as shown in Table 1, nine out of ten studies revealed that physical activity has a positive impact on student health.…”

“…There are multiple pieces of evidence showing that active design is an approach through which to enhance physical activity, create an active environment, and improve public health. Studies used active design guidelines [11], active design strategies [98], and the role of active design in improving physical health [99], as well as improving the physical activity environment [100]. Active design is an architectural intervention [101].…”

The spread of chronic diseases, particularly obesity, has become a significant social issue on a global level concerning human inactivity and unhealthy behavior. The new approach to active design introduced by AIA and Sport England to increase human activity through physical activity in the built environment includes certifications such as Fitwell and LEED. An active design is any design feature that encourages physical activity, thus encouraging the user to be physically, mentally, and socially active in the built environment. This study aims to assemble evidence on the active design approach through physical activity in the campus built environment by using a meta-analysis approach and statistical analyses. There were 1993 papers identified during the search; following the screening, eligibility, and inclusion stages, 10 studies that addressed physical activity in colleges and universities were chosen. Findings indicate that physical activity has a positive impact on human health in the built environment. I² is (96.38%), which indicates considerable heterogeneity with p < 0.0001 and an absence of publication bias. Accordingly, a model was designed to integrate an active design approach and healthy behavior theories for future research. Overall, the evidence shows the importance of active design and physical activity for a healthy built environment to achieve healthy social behavior.
