Sažetak
This paper describes the role of physical planning in the promotion of health-oriented physical activity (HOPA). Spatial planning through physical planning documents and municipal economy is an important
element used to create conditions for the health-oriented physical activity. It can prevent chronic diseases, obesity, and sedentary way of life. However, investors, planners, auditors, contractors, and participation/response/inclusion of the public in the process of approving and changing physical planning documents are also essential. Furthermore, it is vital to encourage intersectoral cooperation. Better health of the population automatically leads to better social, cultural, and economic life of the community. This paper
emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary work and involvement in the procedure of passing and implementing physical plans. The purpose of physical activity promotion through physical planning is to
form a healthy and active life in settlements and cities. The goal is to improve health; social, cultural, and economic life of cities or settlements.
