- 도시계획은 건강결정요인을 다루는 여러 정책을 포괄한다는 점에서 건강영향평가를 통해 도시건강을 개선할 수 있는 중요한 부문이다.
- 영국 잉글랜드는 도시계획과 보건 분야의 법제도를 통해 지역의 도시계획에 건강영향평가를 통합하고, 잉글랜드 보건부는 공간계획에 대한 건강영향평가에 대한 실무적인 지침을 제공한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The purpose of this study was to review the health impact assessment system in local planning in England and to make recommendations for the integration of health impact assessment in Korea. Health impact assessment is a combination of procedures, methods, and tools to identify the potential health impacts of a policy, plan, program, or project and the distribution of these impacts across different sub-populations. Local planning covers various health determinants of health and therefore, can be a useful vehicle to incorporate health in local planning. In England, the National Planning Policy Framework and Health and Social Care Act set the stage for health impact assessment at the national level in the planning and the public health, respectively. According to these national legal frameworks, both planning and public health sectors provide guidance for health impact assessment for local practitioners. The discussion section provides specific recommendations for each of planning and public health sectors in order to integrate health impact assessment into local planning.
