The face and content validity of the questionnaire was evaluated and confirmed by 30 experts, reliability was assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficient (α= 0.94) and validation (exploratory and confirmatory) of the instrument. The structural equation modeling method (PLS3) was used to analyze the findings. The results showed that physical, social, digital and individual characteristics of environmental factors explain the changes in creating active and happy schools by 0.26, 0.27, 0.19 and 0.25, respectively played role in creating active and happy schools.
