Palm city: a revitalized Tagum city trade and cultural center integrating tropical regionalism in the design of built environment and occupants’ well-being

Abstract

In recent years, the built environment has begun to prioritize well-being increasingly. A challenge is to comprehend better how our built environment generally affects health and to create communities that support physical and mental health in the future. Public health has historically targeted the built environment to address particular health concerns, including sanitization, indoor quality, workplace safety, fire regulations, and visual impact. We now understand that resolving many of the nation's top public health challenges may greatly impact how the built environment is designed. This study aims to find out if the Tagum City Trade and Cultural Center's built environment helps create a comfortable environment for its users. Additionally, it aims to analyze and assess the residents' impressions of their experiences and points of view in quantitative and qualitative research and how such viewpoints affect their well-being. The researchers utilized the Key Performance Indicator to divide 44 metrics among 14 predetermined criteria. These measures identify the issues and provide guidelines for future restoration projects to make the structure fit for modern living while also taking care of the well-being of the occupants.
