Impacts of Ecological and Psychological Human Behaviors: Assessment of Selected Buildings in New Cairo, Egypt to Attain Livability and Mitigate Climate Change
City’s inhabitants are key players in mitigating climate change (CC). Proper understanding of the needs and behaviors for adapting the design of their surroundings (urban areas and buildings) in cities is vital. Comprehending the physiological performance and actions of buildings’ users to anticipate the least damage to the surrounding environments is also imperative. Cities’ resilience coupled with innovative planning, in the context of long-term change, should be sustained. Hence, a new approach for promoting well-being and achieving the psychological comfort for buildings’ users is introduced as a main element in urban areas and buildings’ development to ensure sustainability and livability. The importance of this work is underlined in limiting the negative impacts of human activities on the environment and to find a new way to improve the well-being and attitude of the users by presenting a well-integrated design for developing sustainable buildings. This paper presents a study on the impacts of psychology and physiological behavior of buildings’ users to enhance environmental sustainability; thus mitigate CO2 emissions and CC. The objective focuses on developing an integrated framework that combines psychology and sustainable design features to minimize the impacts on the surrounding environment. The methodology depends on an environmentally centered approach to enhance the sustainable behavior of users within buildings and urban areas in cities. In this work, data collection, analyses, and qualitative environmental assessment are carried out to inform the proposed solutions for the sustainable design to enhance human behaviors and minimize stress, yet to improve well-being. Results show that an integrated sustainable approach for psychology and sustainable buildings can enhance livability, foster efficient behaviors, and prove that psychologists ought to be involved in environmental conservation and sustainability, not only because it is in their interest, but also due to experts’ committee that incorporates natural well-being combined with different components significant to physical/psychological wellness.
