“…Soundscape construction is considered a new trend of thought that stimulates the potential of designers [15][16][17][18] and challenges the traditional dominance of vision in today's space design. Previous studies have conducted soundscape change [19][20][21][22], quality assessment [23,24], spatial correlation [25], and restoration research [26] for different spatial environments. In terms of sound scene preferences, the difference in sound source types [27], sound source preferences, and perception experiences [28] have been the focus of attention in previous research.…”

Soundscape is an important part and one of the main factors of the underground space environment. Field surveys were conducted to evaluate the soundscape of underground commercial spaces and to compare it with the soundscape of the above-ground commercial spaces between two cities (Lu’an City and Hefei City) in China, consequently presenting the construction strategy of the soundscape of underground commercial spaces in urban areas. The results showed that the sound in the shopping center, which people found comfortable, was at the lower to intermediate level. The main sounds that people perceived as “general” sounds were environmental sounds such as music, the humming of the air conditioning, people talking, walking, and the hawking of the stores. Nevertheless, “very comfortable” sounds were background music and the sound of live performances, which were indicated in the majority of people’s opinions on evaluating a comfortable feeling, thus reflecting the impact of the sound of mall music on people′s cognitive psychology. Therefore, it is necessary to control the volume of environmental noise at a certain level so that people’s health is not adversely affected. It also helps shoppers to feel more comfortable psychologically and physiologically.

“…This is consistent with the research results of Yu et al, i.e., a sufficient number of sports fields on campus can promote college students’ dynamic exercise behaviors ( 44 ). Some studies on community common spaces have shown that fitness facilities in common spaces can better promote dynamic exercise behaviors than activity fields ( 64 ). This discrepancy is mainly due to different research groups.…”

Contemporary college students are suffering from increasingly serious psychological health problems, such as attention fatigue, psychological stress and negative emotions. A growing body of evidence has revealed that restorative environment design is conducive to psychological health. As the main choice of venue for students’ daily activities, campus common spaces are supposed to be restorative to some extent. Given the above, the author studied 22 common spaces in the South China University of Technology (SCUT) Wushan Campus from the perspective of college students’ behavioral patterns based on theories pertaining to restorative environments, then constructed a structural equation model (SEM) analyzing the psychologically restorative effects exerted by the characteristics of campus common spaces upon college students through a scale design and questionnaire survey. With the analysis of 478 valid questionnaires, the research found that the characteristics of campus common spaces with psychologically restorative effects mainly comprise the architectural environment, landscape environment, rest facilities and activity facilities. Among them, the characteristics of activity facilities and the landscape environment have the greatest impact on psychologically restorative effects, accounting for 33 and 30% of the total effects, respectively; they are followed by those of the architectural environment, which accounts for 21% of the total effects; those of the rest facilities have the least impact, accounting for 16% of the total effects. The research also found that the characteristics of campus common spaces can both directly influence college students’ psychological recovery and produce psychologically restorative effects mediated by college students’ behavioral patterns. The mediation effect of college students’ behavioral patterns accounts for approximately 41% of the total effect of psychological restoration, in which the psychologically restorative effect of dynamic exercise behaviors is 2.5 times that of static leisure behaviors. The research reveals how the characteristics of campus common spaces promote the psychological restoration of college students, and it provides inspiration for healthy environment design in campus common spaces.

“…In this study, we found that the highest classification accuracy was achieved via the random forest methodology. Some authors have noted that due to its strong anti-noise ability and high stability, the random forest methodology is the most widely used in the classification research of forestry and agriculture [33,34]. It can usually achieve greater classification accuracy and can classify and count high-dimensional data while ensuring the randomness of samples.…”

Chinese fir (Cunninghamia lanceolata) is the main fast-growing timber species in China, and studies of its stand volume are important for evaluating the effectiveness of forest management. However, it is difficult to accurately estimate stand volume from the perspective of a single tree due to the mutual concealment among Chinese fir trees. Therefore, in this study, we propose a method for identifying different forms of Chinese fir. The specific idea is to realize the accurate identification of a single Chinese fir tree, two Chinese fir trees, and three Chinese fir trees, and construct their respective stand volume estimation models to obtain an estimate of the forest stand volume. The key results are as follows: (1) the overall accuracy of recognition of different forms of Chinese fir is 79%, and the construction of different forms of Chinese fir units is beneficial for identifying forest trees; (2) a multiunit volume equation for different forms of Chinese fir is constructed; (3) based on predictions obtained with the constructed stand volume model, the difference between the estimated stand volume and the measured stand volume is small, and the average accuracy reaches 89.19%; and (4) compared to traditional volume estimation methods based on individual tree scale, the research method in this study shows a significant improvement (about 9.96%) in overall accuracy. In summary, this method can weaken the influence of erroneous individual tree segmentation on the accuracy of stand volume estimation, and can greatly reduce the working time of single tree segmentation to achieve the fast and accurate estimation of fir plantation stand volume.
