Entorno físico urbano y felicidad objetiva: hacia un marco teórico
Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Este estudio indaga en la interacción entre entornos físicos urbanos y felicidad objetiva, centrándose en resultados medibles influidos por el diseño y las instalaciones urbanas. Trascendiendo ideales utópicos, pone énfasis en los factores tangibles y físicos que moldean la felicidad en contextos urbanos. Con un enfoque multidisciplinario que abarca los estudios urbanos, la sicología y la ciencia medioambiental, la investigación desarrolla un marco teórico que distingue la felicidad objetiva del bienestar subjetivo (SWB). El estudio se basa en una amplia revisión bibliográfica de artículos revisados por pares, libros, informes y tesis doctorales que abarcan diversas regiones, entre ellas Asia, África, Europa y el continente americano. Sus resultados destacan de qué manera las mejoras en el diseño y las instalaciones urbanas están inextricablemente ligadas a aumentos significativos en la felicidad objetiva. Abordando las brechas en las investigaciones vigentes, el artículo ofrece perspectivas novedosas y orientaciones realizables para los planificadores y autoridades urbanas que apuntan a mejorar el bienestar a través de entornos urbanos físicos. Esta investigación contribuye al actual cuerpo de conocimientos proporcionando una sólida base teórica y operando como recurso para los académicos y las autoridades políticas de las ciudades.
