  • Attuning sacred agrarian cultural landscapes

    Open AccessXiaojin Li, Hirofumi Ueda et al.ARTICLESocial & Cultural Geography2026

    In Yuncheng, China, some state-protected water-deity temples are gradually losing their ritual function, whereas peripheral villages outside official protection continue active rainmaking practices. We ask how these practices are sustained and reorganized amid limited institutional support and an ageing practitioner population. Drawing on embodied ethnography at six temples and 60 interviews, we develop the concept of Cultural Energy Autonomy (CE…

  • Non-human animals in forest bathing

    Open AccessYiqin Zhang, Hirofumi Ueda et al.ARTICLEWorld Leisure & Recreation2024Cited by: 2References: 20

    Although forest bathing has gained considerable attention as an emerging health trend, the role and related benefits of animals in this context are often overlooked in existing literature. Animals are typically perceived as part of nature, rather than recognized as individual entities with life characteristics. This study adopts an atmospheric perspective, considering atmosphere's potential to explore bodily communication between humans and non-h…

  • ‘It's real, not fake like a park’

    Open AccessChristoph D D Rupprecht, Caroline Rupprecht et al.ARTICLELandscape and Urban Planning2015

    Urban parks and gardens may be failing to meet the diverse nature needs of a growing global urban population. Informal urban greenspace (IGS) such as vacant lots, street or railway verges and riverbanks may provide space for unstructured recreation and nature contact. Yet we know little about residents relationship with IGS outside of Europe and North America, whatfactors influence IGS use and evaluation, or what role geographic and cultural cont…
