“…This insight on the powerful effects of environment and unconscious behaviour has received considerable attention from policymakers and governments around the world [1] It has led many to propose that policymakers seeking to change behaviour must recognise the influence of immediate environments on behaviour and design policies that go "with the grain" of behaviour rather than against it [1].

Abstract:In recent years, behavioural science has emerged as an additional tool to explore the impact of built environments on behaviour and wellbeing. Recognising the potential for further research in this field, we have sought to better understand how built environments affect what we do, as well as how they make us feel. We began this process through a review of the behavioural science literature, and have brought together evidence to develop a checklist for design with wellbeing in mind. In this paper, we present Sound, Air, Light, Image, Ergonomics and Tint as the mnemonic SALIENT, which forms a checklist. We outline an example where elements of the checklist have been applied in a real-world setting to examine subjective wellbeing (SWB). We present this example to illustrate how the SALIENT checklist could potentially be applied more extensively to measure the impact of built environments on wellbeing.
