Therefore, it is important to design public spaces that encourage sustainable and spontaneous physical activity and promote health in everyday life. Stairs in public spaces, such as within subway system and in public buildings, has great potentials not only to promote physical activity, but also to enhance public health. This study consists of preliminary research on stair design that can promote healthy lifestyles. It analyzes existing cases and explores specific elements of stair design that can promote public health. These specific design elements identified in this study have been included in a preference survey and examined in observational research in order to identify important design factors that can promote physical activity and health. Analysis results show that both visual stimulation such as graphics color, and lighting and music are effective elements that can encourage people to use stairs rather than escalator. In addition, inspirational and motivational signs addressing calorie expenditures and life longevity are positive design elements. Lastly, social activities, such as exercises that accumulate points for donation through stair use have the potential to motivate people to use stairs. By analyzing the stair design elements that promote physical activity and health, this study provides basic information for implementing active design movement in public space in Korea
