Popis: As a space for daily life, the community directly affects residents’ lives and has a significant impact on residents’ health. Integrating the concept of health into community construction can promote comprehensive and full-cycle health protection. This study explored the potential contribution of the DGNB system to community health and well-being and collected residents’ perceptions. A community assessment model was established to analyze how the community environment would affect residents’ health. The results show that compared with other community evaluation systems, the DGNB system has a more balanced weight and more comprehensive content, covering many factors that influence physical health, mental health, and social health. Residents pay more attention to personal safety, lifestyle, physical environment, community service, and management, which are related to their well-being and health. The assessment model is helpful to improve the community healthy environment and residents’ life quality.
