This study explored subjective responses towards various environmental quality parameters. In order to investigate the combined effects of sound, light, and heat on the overall comfort (evaluated by overall comfort vote, OCV) of pedestrians, two residential areas in Yubei District, Chongqing (a Cfa city in China) were selected for field measurements combining questionnaires. Three main conclusions were drawn. Firstly, the average outdoor neutral temperature (NT), LAeq, and LUX were 26.6 °C (indicated by physiologically equivalent temperature, PET), 56.5 dBA, 21.4103 lx, respectively. Secondly, since the effects of both physiology and psychology, thermal perceptions varied for acoustic and light environments. This could be explained by the different NTs in various sound pressure or light levels. Thirdly, environmental quality factors had significant effects on overall comfort. Significant positive correlation between heat stress (PET) and OCV was found (sig＜0.000); while the effects of sound pressure and light intensity were not always significant. Hence, thermal stress played a significant role in people’s overall comfort. Findings of this study were directive for future environment design for creating more physiologically comfortable spaces.

The enhancement of the urban forest landscape through vegetation colorization has emerged as a continuous concern for urban managers in southern Chinese cities. However, the understanding of how designers can effectively select the appropriate form and intensity of colorization design to align with users’ aesthetic preferences remains limited. The process of visual perception is closely intertwined with eye movements. Employing visualization techniques, this research aims to investigate the impact of colorization design on aesthetic benefits and eye movements in urban forests, considering four intensities (slight, low, medium, and high) and three forms (aggregate, homogeneous, and random). A total of 183 participants (with an average age of 23.5 ± 2.5 years) were randomly assigned to three groups to assess the aesthetics score, while eye-tracking devices were utilized to record eye movement behaviors. The outcomes indicate that a homogeneous design form and a moderate intensity of landscaping yield higher scenic benefits for urban forests. In the case of canopy landscape, both the form and intensity of landscaping have a significant influence on urban forest aesthetics. The HCI with aggregate form showed the best marginal effect (1.313). In contrast, MCI showed the best marginal effect when the design form was random and homogeneous (1.438, 1.308). Furthermore, although the form and intensity of the colorization design significantly affect eye exploration, the perception of landscape aesthetics does not correlate with eye movements. These findings provide valuable insights for design policies aimed at promoting the urban forest landscape, while also contributing to the enrichment of research in landscape perception studies employing eye-tracking technology.
