Abstract:Public health problems, such as the spread of COVID-19 and chronic diseases, are mainly
caused by the daily life activities of community residents. Therefore, there is a need to build a healthy
and safe community living circle through the evaluation of health behaviors in daily life. This paper
proposes a theoretical framework and evaluation system for public health safety in community
living circles, from a behavioral motivation perspective. Firstly, based on the behavioral motivation
theory, a theoretical framework for the study of public health safety in community living circles
is constructed from the perspective of the “project–activity–health” coupling relationship network,
regarding community residents’ daily life activities. Then, a public health safety evaluation system
for community living circles is proposed based on this framework, which includes the following:
(1) identifying the scope of community living circles based on Spatio-temporal Activities Analysis;
(2) Based on the theory of protection motivation, a health behavior evaluation model based on the
three elements of “spatial and temporal geographical environment–daily life activities–public health
safety” is established; (3) Based on the hierarchy of public health problems, a public health safety
evaluation model of the community living circle is established. The behavioral motivation-based
evaluation system explores a new approach and research paradigm for community-scale public health
safety theory; this will help to achieve the goal of “healthy communities” when further empirical
evidence is available.
