Local Health

Client: Stadt München, Referat für Gesundheit und Umwelt (2018-2021) | Area: Health Research, Evaluation & Accompanying Research

Main Interest |

The project “Local Health” intends to improve the quality of living in Munich by evaluating the resources of health promotion and identifying specific needs for action in four selected districts (Moosach, Trudering-Riem, Ramersdorf-Perlach and Feldmoching-Hasenbergl). Following, appropriate measures of health promotion will be conceptualised and implemented.

The intention is a local form of health promotion and prevention that is oriented towards the respective needs in the field. Main focuses are the aspects ‘exercise’ and ‘nutrition’ as well as low-threshold offers and accessibility to these fields. Both of them are supposed to be integrated in the environment and everyday life of the involved and affected citizens. Thereby, such health measures should be identified and implemented, that fit into the districts´ structure and the lifeworld of the citizens.
