Reviewer 3 Report

In this study authors aimed to establish an evaluation system to evaluate the health of the community, including physical health, social health, mental health and other aspects. The authors provided a comparative analysis between several evaluation systems. I read this work with interest. The manuscript is relatively well written and address a current topic such as the impact of living environment on people's physical and mental health.

 

REVIEW COMMENTS

It is recommended for publication in Sustainability after the following minor revisions to improve its quality before publication:

1.      Undoubtedly, the topic of the investigation is very relevant and important, but the issue on how residential environments can help to reduce the spread of epidemics is very interesting and needs to be improved in introduction and  in conclusion.

2.      Line 325-326. "......prevent dangerous situations in and around homes, and prevent dangerous situations in and around homes as 326 much as possible.”.   Please rephrase this sentence.
