Well-being is now firmly established as an overarching theme of key
concern to all professionals that work, manage or design the
environment. However, well-being is a complex multi-dimensional
issue rooted in the ways that we encounter, perceive and interpret
the environment. No single discipline can claim to have sufficient
knowledge to fully explain the types of interactions that occur,
therefore there is a need to draw together a wide range of
professions who are exploring the consequences of their actions
upon the well-being of individuals and communities. This edited
work addresses the above, consisting of a collection of studies
which embrace different aspects of environment, landscape and
well-being to consider current approaches to well-being research
and practice that fall outside the traditional concepts of
well-being as part of medical research, making links with
architecture, landscape design, environmental perception, social
interaction and environmental sustainability. The contributors
originally presented at the international conference, 'Well-Being
2011' jointly hosted by Birmingham City University and the Royal
Institute of British Architects (RIBA); the chapters have been
developed to present a coherent series of themes reviewing a wide
range of literature, presenting case studies appropriate to diverse
audiences.
