“…In addition, agritourism programs can be integrated into the school curriculum, and the benefits of such a unique outdoor activity also can be stressed by pediatric health care providers [46].

The stressful lifestyle of urban dwellers has increased the demand for green-based leisure activities; considering such growing demand, this paper investigated the potential mental health benefits of agritourism activities. The assessments were based on a questionnaire survey of two groups: visitors of agritourism sites around Seoul and a control group staying home (n = 200). In addition to measuring the participants’ well-being level and stress level, they were also asked to self-estimate their immediate mood after their activities of the day. The analysis was conducted with R version 4.1.0 to explore the potential relationships and interactions between the activity of the day, perceived psychological factors, and the immediate emotional outcomes. Findings reveal that visitors to the agritourism sites perceived considerable improvement in their immediate mood compared to the control group who stayed home. Results indicate a significant interaction between self-reported wellbeing and agritourism activities and a combined effect on improved mood. Therefore, agritourism can potentially be a resource for a positive mood boost and improved mental health. The suggested practical implications can be applied as strategies to evoke the feeling of more connection to the agritourism activities and raise awareness of potential mental health outcomes.

“…Moreover, visiting rural green spaces gives a chance to forget the hectic urban life; it allows the tourist to focus on their own and society's general wellbeing. Agritourism activities can provide the feel of connection with nature and offer visitors the nostalgia of a "quiet" traditional life [23].…”

“…Such a negative impact of urbanization is believed to be managed by increasing and improving green spaces’ quality in urban areas ( 4 ). People living in areas with no green space may be more vulnerable to the negative impacts of stressful life in big cities due to the lack of opportunities for nature-based coping strategies ( 5 ). Therefore, governments and authorities must establish and develop a healthy-oriented environment that provides liveable cities and improves health outcomes ( 6 ).…”

Background: The fast-growing trend of urbanizations and the dwellers' stressful lifestyle in megacities has led to several drawbacks from the mental health perspective. Provided that there is a significant association between the green environment and mental health, we investigated different functions of a green roof from two perspectives of well-being and environment. Methods: After investigating on different functions of the green roof and classifying them into two sections, a self questionnaire survey was conducted in May 2020 on 100 citizens of the Seoul metropolitan area after, South Korea visiting the green roof. They were asked to clarify their perception of the different functions of green roof gardens. The statistical analysis was performed to show the differences in perception and how each variable can contribute to such differences. Results: The results illustrated a high satisfaction rate among the visitors of green roofs. The perception of the well-being functions was higher than those of environmental functions. However, age group can alter the perception significantly, as the senior citizens significantly perceived the well-being functions. In contrast, the awareness of the environmental functions was higher among the younger participants. Conclusion: Providing practical information about the ideal functions of green roofs, this study offered helpful insight for the planners who focus on society’s general health and work in two different sections: developing the city landscape and mental health improvement.

“…Despite measures carried out, supplying natural and health-safe food and drink to consumers still needs to become the main priority [37]. For that purpose, a special object called a "biohouse" should be created where visitors will have the opportunity to get comprehensive information about organic agriculture [38]. That will oblige farmers to consider the national food supply standards [39].…”

One of the preconditions for the development of agritourism is the cultivation and production of natural agricultural products. It is for this purpose that we studied the specificity of the interdependency between tourism and agriculture on the example of Guria, one of the regions of Georgia. The potential and development perspectives of all three municipalities of the region (Ozurgeti, Chokhat’auri, and Lanchkhuti) are discussed in the article. The study is focused on the main elements of agritourism, on the local possibilities of food production, and on its natural character. The results of the research prove that there is a great interest among tourists in this activity, which is due to the purchase and tasting of quality and safe food and their participation in its production. Besides that, hindering factors are identified: in the first place, it is the ignoring of food safety rules, the failure of the infrastructure, and insufficient financial resources.
