Beyond just green
Use and non-use of parks are dictated by nature orientation, perceived accessibility and social norm which manifest in a continuum
Given the importance of urban parks for the well-being of urban dwellers, coupled with inequitable access to parks that seems widely reported in many cities, understanding the underlying factors that determine use and non-use of parks is a necessary step towards encouraging greater park usage. Past studies have highlighted the role of several influential factors, but rarely were these examined comprehensively in a single study to understand their…
Development and application of 3D spatial metrics using point clouds for landscape visual quality assessment
The influence of the Covid ‐19 pandemic on the demand for different shades of green
COVID‐19 has heightened the dependence of urban dwellers on cultural ecosystem services provided by urban green spaces (UGS), specifically in regard to the provision of recreational opportunities, and psychological and physical health benefits arising from their use. As different types and levels of cultural ecosystem services are provided by different types of UGS, people may seek out different UGS to satisfy personal needs over various phases o…
Therapeutic Garden With Contemplative Features Induces Desirable Changes in Mood and Brain Activity in Depressed Adults
The therapeutic values of contact with nature have been increasingly recognized. A growing body of evidence suggests that a unique subcategory of “contemplative landscapes” is particularly therapeutic. Previous studies predominantly focused on observational designs in non-clinical populations. It is not known if these effects can be extrapolated to populations suffering from depression, and experimental designs need to be utilized to establish ca…
Associations of park features with park use and park-based physical activity in an urban environment in Asia
Activity in nature mediates a park prescription intervention’s effects on physical activity, park use and quality of life
ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02615392 , 26 November 2015
Can Exposure to Certain Urban Green Spaces Trigger Frontal Alpha Asymmetry in the Brain?—Preliminary Findings from a Passive Task EEG Study
A growing body of evidence from observational and experimental studies shows the associations between exposure to urban green spaces (UGSs) and mental health outcomes. Little is known about which specific features of UGS that might be the most beneficial. In addition, there is potential in utilizing objective physiological markers of mental health, such as assessing brain activity, but the subject requires further investigation. This paper presen…
Effects of Horticultural Therapy on Asian Older Adults
HT, in reducing plasma IL-6, may prevent inflammatory disorders and through maintaining plasma CXCL12 (SDF-1α), may maintain hematopoietic support to the brain. HT may be applied in communal gardening to enhance the well-being of older adults
Prescribing Physical Activity in Parks to Improve Health and Wellbeing
Previous studies in primary care settings showed that brief advice prescribing physical activity for inactive patients could be an effective way to promote physical activity. Park prescription interventions confer health benefits associated with exposure to nature and increased physical activity by recommending park use specifically to increase physical activity in parks. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a park prescr…
