Abstract: In order to promote the theoretical research and practical development of built environment and physical activity in China, the study aims to explore through the mapping knowledge methodthe research progress of the international built environment and physical activity research by focusing on the discipline structure, development history, research hotspots, and evolution characteristics of the discipline in the past 30 years.The results show that (1) The discipline structure system with public environment and occupational health, medicine, geography, psychology, education, sports science as the main subjects has basically taken shape.(2) The research has transformed from basic development period through high-speed development period to prosperous development period, and the research content has completed the transition from macroscopic research to microcosmic research. (3) The research hotspots include the built environmental influencing factors of physical activity, the relationship between built environment and the physical activity and health promotion of children, adolescents, and old adults. (4)The evolution characteristics reveal two main paths of research: exploration of independent variables (built environment) and dependent variables (physical activity and health promotion), indicating the discipline research is advancing towards a deeper level.

Key words: built environment, physical activity, mapping knowledge, research progress, health promotion
