Environment and Behavior Studies

Environment and Behavior Studies explore how natural and built surroundings influence human actions, perceptions, and well-being. This interdisciplinary field examines the relationship between places—like parks, cities, or homes—and the behaviors of people in these settings. It aims to understand how environmental factors affect health, social interactions, and decision-making, and how, in turn, human activities impact the environment. By analyzing these connections, the field seeks to create healthier, more sustainable, and more enjoyable environments that support positive behaviors and quality of life.
