The role of greenness and road traffic noise for psychological restoration in everyday environments. A participatory mapping approach
Feeling of being in nature facilitates psychological restoration. • Greenness and traffic noise exposure affect the feeling of being in nature. • Noise annoyance impedes psychological restoration at home. • Combined perception-based survey and GIS data explain psychological restoration. Greenness and noise are important environmental determinants of human health. The rapid urbanization and population growth have intensified the densification of u…
Psychophysiological effects of walking in forests and urban built environments with disparate road traffic noise exposure

How Do Road Traffic Noise and Residential Greenness Correlate with Noise Annoyance and Long-Term Stress? Protocol and Pilot Study for a Large Field Survey with a Cross-Sectional Design
Urban areas are continuously growing, and densification is a frequent strategy to limit urban expansion. This generally entails a loss of green spaces (GSs) and an increase in noise pollution, which has negative effects on health. Within the research project RESTORE (Restorative potential of green spaces in noise-polluted environments), an extended cross-sectional field study in the city of Zurich, Switzerland, is conducted. The aim is to assess …
Digitalization in land-use planning
Digital transformation is shaping our lives and altering planning. Digitalization is closely linked to smart governance, through which administrative units such as cities and regions increasingly offer digital services related to spatial planning. However, the increasing digitalization of spatial planning has received little attention in academic planning literature, and few studies have analysed how digitalization affects planning practice. The …
Spatial planning instruments for cropland protection in Western European countries
How transdisciplinary projects influence participants’ ways of thinking
Transdisciplinary (TD) approaches have increasingly been promoted in the field of land-use research. However, the theoretical discourse about transdisciplinarity is far more advanced than its implementation in practice. In particular, empirical studies about the effects of concrete TD projects on the participants are rare. We evaluated joint knowledge generation among researchers and non-academics in a TD research programme on urban and landscape…
