“…Similar to other central cities in China, Fuzhou has an urban population of close to 10 million permanent dwellers, which is representative of most urban characteristics in China. Located in the heart of Fuzhou City, China, Fuzhou West Lake Park is the best preserved urban park in Fuzhou with a history of over 1700 years [93]. The whole park is in the traditional Chinese classical garden style, and is representative of the characteristics of certain Fuzhou urban parks.…”

Urban parks are important urban public spaces that guarantee people recreation, create positive emotions and relieve stress. Emerging research has shown that natural soundscapes are associated with restorative landscapes in urban parks. However, there is still a lack of knowledge on the use of physiological indexes to evaluate the effects of natural sounds versus human-based sounds on stress relief. In this study, the three physiological indexes of skin conductance level, heart rate and heart rate variability were collected in Fuzhou West Lake Park with the help of Ergo LAB data platform, and a soundscape perception evaluation questionnaire was used to assess the degree of soundscape perceptions in the sample sites. The differences in the stress relieving effects of different urban park environments were analysed by applying the median test, the Wilcoxon test was applied to analyse the effects of soundscapes and urban park environments on relieving stress, and regression analysis was used to identify the important factors of restorative soundscapes. The results found that urban park environments provide a certain degree of stress relief, but the stress relieving effects of different urban park environments vary and that natural spaces play an important role in relieving stress. Urban park soundscapes are key to restorative environmental design, with natural sounds such as birdsong and stream sound being important factors of restorative soundscapes.

In the process of urbanization, the coordinated development of urban sub-clusters is an important strategy for the overall promotion of the regional economy, and exploring the characteristics of urban spatial structure has reference significance for the transformation of regional levels. This paper selects the land use data and urban statistical data in the study area, and uses the topsis method to evaluate the comprehensive quality of each city. Based on the gravitational model, social network analysis, urban expansion method and correlation analysis method, the basic characteristics of urban spatial structure of the urban agglomeration on the northern slope of Tianshan Mountains are analyzed from macro and micro perspectives, and the spatial pattern of urban network is constructed according to reasonable methods. The results show that: (1) The urban system headed by Urumqi is gradually expanding, and the urban volume is becoming larger. (2) The urban network structure diverges from Urumqi to the periphery, and is most closely connected with the surrounding cities. Urumqi's city center has the highest degree, occupies a dominant position in the city, and has high resource control rights, which can affect the development of the entire region. (3) According to the characteristics of agglomerated subgroups, the urban agglomerations are mainly distributed in three types of subgroups, and the spatial differences in the comprehensive quality of cities in the entire region are obvious. (4) The delineation of urban network structure circles is conducive to further promoting regional Internal coordinated development, and promote the construction of a reasonable urban spatial layout.

“…Manila exhibited a remarkable downward trend of the ∆EVI in all urban zones; in contrast, Fuzhou and Jakarta presented an obvious increase in the ∆EVI in all urban zones. Huang et al [38] pointed out that the landscape patch index in western Fuzhou increased because of the increase in the urban green space, which may demonstrate the combined effects of urban sprawl and green space development. Jakarta experienced huge urbanization in recent years and was challenged by traffic congestions and floods [39]; additionally, Haughton and Hunter [40] implied that urbanization causes the countryside to lose its distinctive characteristics.…”

Substantial research indicates the effects of urbanization on vegetation cover; however, a view of this scenario from a regional scale is absent. Nowadays, coastal cities have become the new engine for the development of countries in coastal areas. To capture the effects of rapid urbanization on vegetation dynamics, 35 coastal cities along the Maritime Silk Road (MSR) were selected to study the related research using quantitative tools. We calculated spatiotemporal trends of vegetation dynamics along an urban development intensity (UDI) gradient using the MODIS-enhanced vegetation index (EVI) during the period of 2000–2015. We found a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in the EVI in the core area against that in the rural area (ΔEVI) of 14 cities and an insignificant change in vegetation in the peri-urban areas or urban outskirts. EVI decreased significantly along the UDI gradients in 12 coastal cities with a linear pattern and in seven coastal cities with a concave pattern; only Bangkok exhibited a convex pattern. The nonlinear pattern between the EVI and UDI reflected the fact that vegetation dynamics were affected by complicated factors, including climate change and human interventions, over a long period of time. In conclusion, our work provided a scientific reference for the sustainable development of coastal cities along the MSR; further work is necessary to explore the mechanic details of the positive and negative influences of urban factors and related policies on vegetation conditions.
