Abstract

Health is a basic requirement and a strategic goal that the countries of the world, its organizations and individuals seek to achieve and work hard to achieve, for a healthy life, through which the individual contributes to the various development efforts for himself, his family and his community. Health is clearly affected by the social environment that imposes on the individual to follow certain methods in order to maintain it, and here he embodies the behaviors adopted by his social environment to become an essential part of his personality. This embodiment is evident in his adoption of healthy concepts and perceptions that contribute to maintaining the safety of his physical and psychological health. This is what makes the social environment play an important role in crystallizing the concept of health awareness among individuals and forming standard behaviors that adopt a fixed approach and vision to deal with the obstacles that stand in the way of the individual practicing his life normally. The social environment greatly affects the quality of healthy life of individuals, as social relationships, economic status, and prevailing culture affect mental and physical health. Therefore, improving the social environment by enhancing community support, health awareness, and improving economic and living conditions can contribute to improving the quality of healthy life and increasing the general well-being of society. The social environment also includes a set of factors surrounding the individual, such as family, friends, society, customs and traditions, and social institutions. These factors affect the health behavior of individuals and play a role in promoting or weakening health. Therefore, we conclude from the above that the social environment directly affects human health through social relationships, economic status, prevailing customs, and the availability of community support. Therefore, improving the social environment can lead to enhancing public health and well-being, making societies stronger and more sustainable.
