“…The importance of underground physical space quality and the relevant psychological and health issues have long been noticed and discussed for more than three decades. These issues can be grouped into three categories, namely 1) environmental stressors such as thermal comfort, air quality, noise, lighting, and windowless environment [145], 2) socio-psychological issues such as negative culture-based attitudes (related to burial and evil) and lack of perceived control (due to difficult way-finding and darkness) [146,147], 3) health issues such as circadian disruption, vitamin D deficiency, claustrophobic reactions, and sick building syndrome [148]. However, most of the early studies are descriptive and methodologically out-ofdate.…”

“…Obstructed navigation due to landmarks being occluded by walls and ceilings results in a lower sense of control (Ringstad, 1994; Yokoi et al, 2015). Moreover, static conditions such as similarity in lighting, interior design, and traffic organization throughout a building results in further deterioration in wayfinding (Hane et al, 1991; Lee et al, 2016; Roberts et al, 2016). Having a deficiency of environmental cues to locate oneself within the environment could be a serious problem in case of an emergency as time pressure and physical threat (e.g., fire) could induce a hypervigilant state in which individual’s capacity to process environmental information deteriorates even further (Ozel, 2001).…”

“…In general, the relationship between stress and performance takes the form of an inverted U-curve (Hebb, 1955 ). Individual responses to stress vary widely but task performance is best under moderate stress (at the center of curve), and either low stress or high stress is detrimental to performance (Roberts et al, 2016 ). Stress can be detected in a number of physiological responses including galvanic skin response (GSR) (Healey and Picard, 2005 ), saliva cortisol level, and pupil dilation (Henckens et al, 2009 ).…”
