More broadly salutogenic approach is a health promoting source that encourages a person or society to feel physically and mentally healthy, with a good quality of life and sense of well-being.

In the next stage, how the design of the built environments was adapted to the process and the effects on the community health were evaluated within the scope of the case studies in the literature. In the last stage, the design proposal for the built environments for sustainable community health has been tried to be developed in the direction of the "salutogenic approach".
