Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of floor sign as an environmental sustainability intervention to encourage the use of stairs instead of elevators. For this purpose, we monitored the use of stairs at a women’s university in Japan. A baseline period of two weeks was followed by an intervention period of three weeks, using motivating messages on the floor sign. Post-intervention data was gathered two weeks after removing the messages. Observation of stair use were made 24 hours by a counting machine four days a week. The results of the study indicated that the use of stairs increased significantly during the intervention period when the floor sign encouraging stair use were positioned at the point of choosing to use either the stairs or the elevators. To conclude, this intervention method was effective in encouraging physical activity in the form of the use of stairs among young Japanese women attending universities.
