“…The stronger attachment to everyday landscapes is probably influenced by the higher frequency of use of these settings in residents' everyday lives. Korpela et al [19] suggested that favourite places are important and valued places for which the participants are able to describe the use and meaning in the context of their lives. Frequency of visit is one of the main characteristics to indicate whether a place is a "favourite place".…”

Researchers in tourism development have often suggested that the participation of local residents is essential for sustainable tourism, and for identifying and understanding the factors affecting residents' willingness to participate ("participation intention") is instrumental in tourism development. "Place attachment" refers to the emotions and feelings people have for places or landscapes. When residents develop deeper bonds to their nearby settings, they are more willing to be involved in the development of the area. This study aims to examine residents' attachment to nearby landscapes and investigate the effects of attachment on residents' participate intention in local tourism. From the findings, three categories of attachment to different landscape attributes were extracted: cultural and historical landscapes, everyday landscapes, and natural landscapes. Moreover, regression analysis showed that attachment to cultural and historical landscapes can serve as a predictor of participation intention in tourism development. Under these circumstances, tourism authorities should give greater priority to enhancing residents' attachment to cultural and historical landscapes, which would, in turn, increase their participation intention, thus fostering sustainable tourism.

“…Among the most valued intangible characteristics in the study are effects on health, noise reduction and the beauty of the landscape. Numerous authors, for example see [17,49], have shown that the search for beautiful landscapes and the restorative and therapeutic power offered by nature are highly valued factors. As for the benefits received, there is special emphasis on the physical and mental wellbeing produced by being in these areas.…”

“…Natural landscapes have been widely interpreted as a source of aesthetic, psycho-physical and social benefits in people's lives; and as a means to improve the emotional state and restore good health, see [14][15][16][17]. Thanks to the identification of the benefits provided by these goods for the general welfare of the population, the literature has focused on determining those factors which determine citizens' decision making structures and which lead them to perceive and use natural resources differently, in reference [18].…”

“…Perceived Restoration Experience: the Restorative Outcome Scale (ROS) was used in assessment of restoration experience, as was done by previous studies in visit to favorite places (Korpela et al 2008). Through ROS-6 items, the measured restorative variables are 'attention restoration', 'clearing thoughts' and 'relaxation & calmness'.…”

Salutogenic landscape with its health-promoting qualities is a solution for ever-increasing problem of stress for university students as a vulnerable group. Based on nature related theories, natural environments could have a salutary effect on psychological restoration through stress alleviation. There is a body of research on investigating the impact of open green space characteristics for increasing of psychological restoration through framework of attention restoration theory and supportive environment theory. However, there is little knowledge on how the interaction among these characteristics could promote perceived restoration experience (PRE). To address this problem, using perceived sensory dimension (PSD) for open green space qualities and Perceived Restorativeness (PR) as properties of restorative environments, this study assessed the extent to which the PSD and PR impact on PRE. Using 444 screened data, the mediation effect of PR on the association of PSD to PRE is shown as well as the validity and reliability of proposed relationships. 'Serene', 'space', 'prospect', 'rich in species' and 'nature' were the most influential PSDs on PRE through their higher effect on perceived characteristics of 'fascination' and 'compatibility'. These results provide information within landscape architecture and planning to promote the development of open spaces as resources for psychological restoration and stress relief.
