This study investigates how architectural design can actively promote health—a dimension often overlooked by existing healthy building assessment tools that primarily focus on maintaining health rather than enhancing daily physical activity. We therefore develop the Architectural Induction Factor (AIF) model—a theoretically rigorous yet practically operable framework—to quantify how built environments promote physical activity. In Phase I, a systematic literature review and an inductive–deductive synthesis of authoritative theories in environmental perception, space syntax, behavioral ecology, and supportive design yielded three principal dimensions (Spatial Perception Induction, Circulation Convenience, Functional Area Affordance) further delineated into six subdimensions. In Phase II, we administered an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) questionnaire to fifteen interdisciplinary experts; twelve valid matrices (CR < 0.1) were analyzed to determine dimension weights: Spatial Perception Induction (0.364), Circulation Convenience (0.362), and Functional Area Affordance (0.274). Circulation Smoothness (CCI-2, 0.2646) emerged as the most critical subdimension, followed by Visual Guidability (SPI-1, 0.1783) and Spatial Recognizability (SPI-2, 0.1783), underscoring the importance of intuitive circulation and clear spatial cues in driving stair use and walking behaviors. Based on these insights, we propose a three-stage design strategy—Trigger, Connect, Stimulate—to guide the creation of residential and public spaces that systematically foster daily physical activity. The AIF model thus offers an evidence-based tool for optimizing spatial configurations to enhance occupant health and overall quality of life.
