  • Factors influencing nature interactions vary between cities and types of nature interactions

    Open AccessRachel Rui Ying Oh, Kelly S Fielding et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2021

    There is mounting concern that people living more urbanised, modern lifestyles have fewer and lower quality interactions with nature, and therefore have limited access to the associated health and well‐being benefits. Yet, variation in the different types of nature interactions and the factors that influence these interactions across populations are poorly understood. We compared four types of nature interactions by administering surveys across t…

  • Health and Wellbeing Benefits from Nature Experiences in Tropical Settings Depend on Strength of Connection to Nature

    Open AccessRachel Rui Ying Oh, Kelly S Fielding et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2021

    A growing number of policies and programmes in cities aim to increase the time people spend in nature for the health and wellbeing benefits delivered by such interactions. Yet, there is little research investigating the extent to which, and for whom, nature experiences deliver such benefits outside Europe, North America, and Australia. Here, we assessed the relationships between nature dose (frequency, duration, and intensity) and three mental we…

  • The impact of urbanisation on nature dose and the implications for human health

    Open AccessDaniel T C Cox, Danielle F Shanahan et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2018

    The last 100 years have seen a huge change in the global structure of the human population, with the majority of people now living in urban rather than rural environments. An assumed consequence is that people will have fewer experiences of nature, and this could have important consequences given the myriad health benefits that they can gain from such experiences. Alternatively, as experiences of nature become rarer, people might be more likely a…

  • Is Nature Relatedness Associated with Better Mental and Physical Health

    Open AccessJulie Dean, Danielle F Shanahan et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2018

    Nature relatedness is a psychological characteristic with the potential to drive interaction with nature and influence well-being. We surveyed 1538 people in Brisbane, Australia to investigate how nature relatedness varies among socio-demographic groups. We determined whether people with higher nature relatedness reported fewer symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress and better overall health, controlling for potentially confounding socio-demogra…

  • The rarity of direct experiences of nature in an urban population

    Open AccessDaniel T C Cox, Hannah L Hudson et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2017

    As people live more urbanised lifestyles there is potential to lose daily contact with nature, diminishing access to the wide range of associated health benefits of interacting with nature. Experiences of nature vary widely across populations, but this variation is poorly understood. We surveyed 1023 residents of an urban population in the UK to measure four distinctly different nature interactions: indirect (viewing nature through a window at wo…

  • Maintaining experiences of nature as a city grows

    Open AccessJessica R Sushinsky, Jonathan R Rhodes et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2017Citada por: 1

    Sushinsky, J. R., J. R. Rhodes, D. F. Shanahan, H. P. Possingham, and R. A. Fuller. 2017. Maintaining experiences of nature as a city grows. Ecology and Society 22(3):22. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-09454-220322

  • Health Benefits from Nature Experiences Depend on Dose

    Open AccessDanielle F Shanahan, Danielle Shanahan et al.ARTICLEScientific Reports2016

    Nature within cities will have a central role in helping address key global public health challenges associated with urbanization. However, there is almost no guidance on how much or how frequently people need to engage with nature, and what types or characteristics of nature need to be incorporated in cities for the best health outcomes. Here we use a nature dose framework to examine the associations between the duration, frequency and intensity…

  • The Health Benefits of Urban Nature

    Danielle F Shanahan, Danielle Shanahan et al.ARTICLEBioScience2015

    Over 30 years of research has shown that urban nature is a promising tool for enhancing the physical, psychological, and social well-being of the world's growing urban population. However, little is known about the type and amount of nature people require in order to receive different health benefits, preventing the development of recommendations for minimum levels of exposure and targeted city planning guidelines for public health outcomes. Dose…

  • Toward Improved Public Health Outcomes From Urban Nature

    Danielle F Shanahan, Danielle Shanahan et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2015Citada por: 5Referências: 87

    There is mounting concern for the health of urban populations as cities expand at an unprecedented rate. Urban green spaces provide settings for a remarkable range of physical and mental health benefits, and pioneering health policy is recognizing nature as a cost-effective tool for planning healthy cities. Despite this, limited information on how specific elements of nature deliver health outcomes restricts its use for enhancing population healt…

  • Opportunity or Orientation? Who Uses Urban Parks and Why

    Open AccessBrenda B Lin, Richard A Fuller et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2014

    There is growing recognition that interactions with nature provide many desirable human well-being outcomes, yet increasing urbanization is degrading the quality and quantity of nature experiences. Thus, it has become increasingly important to understand how and why urban dwellers interact with nature. Studies of urban green space use have largely focused on the availability and ease of access to green space, suggesting that greater opportunities…
