“…Meanwhile, the effects of Bartlett's spherical check confirmed that the magnitude p-value was once 0.000 ***, which confirmed value at that level, that the authentic speculation was once rejected, that there was once correlation between the variables, and that the issue evaluation was once legitimate to the extent that it used to be suitable. Research on restorative theory suggests that the premise of "restoration" is that the individual is in a "depleted" state, emphasizing the process of returning from a negative state to a natural state [58]. Taking nine typical sound sources in the Huohuoshan Forest Park area of Guangzhou as an example, the compatibility, coordination and attractiveness of each sound source were classified according to the median (IQR) and mean (SD) of the restorative perceptual evaluation of the compatibility, coherence and attractiveness of the various types of sound sources, as shown in Table 6.…”

Urban Forest parks are indispensable areas in cities and have ecological and social advantages, and the quality of their acoustic landscapes is an important factor influencing visitors’ visiting experience. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the acoustic landscape on psychological stress relief in selected urban forest parks in China. This study used a questionnaire to construct an index system for psychological stress reduction and designed a questionnaire for the perceived impact of stress-reducing acoustic sources with user perception and stress-reducing restoration evaluation as the entry point. The research team conducted field research and online questionnaire survey on the questionnaire.com platform from 1–5 July 2022, in Huolu Mountain Forest Park, an urban forest park in Guangzhou, and collected 266 valid questionnaires. SPSS26.0 was used to analyze the results of the impact of the urban forest park on users’ psychological stress relief. Spearman’s rho correlation analysis and a Kruskal–Wallis nonparametric test were used to reveal the relationship between social, demographic and behavioral factors of tourism and sound source perception, and multiple regression analysis was used to identify the key factors of urban forest park. The results showed that, first, there were significant individual differences and correlations between respondents’ age, education level, visit time and frequency on soundscape perceptions; the older the respondent or the higher the education level, the higher the psychological stress relief evaluation of natural sounds such as birdsong in urban forest parks; the more frequent the visit, the more sensitive the users were to sound source perceptions; and the different visit time periods showed that, when the frequency of the visit was higher, the more sensitive the users were to the sound source. Secondly, natural sounds are important factors for psychological stress relief in soundscape, and natural sounds such as birdsong, cicadas, flowing water, and the sound of breeze blowing leaves have positive benefits and significant contributions to psychological stress relief. Third, the overall restorative evaluation of soundscape perception and the separate evaluation of natural, mechanical, and human-made sounds had significant effects, and the overall restorative evaluation showed that the cumulative contribution value of attractiveness was greater than that of compatibility and consistency. Fourth, soundscape plays a role in psychological stress relief, as evidenced by significant differences in pleasure and arousal levels but not in control.

The objective of this study is to focus on plant arrangement and clarify the effect on intellectual productivity during information processing. First, we evaluated the impression of green visibility in virtual space. From factor analysis, similar evaluations were obtained in real space and virtual space. The psychological evaluation factor was found to be the highest at a green vision rate of 7.9%. Next, four arithmetic operations were performed in the five plant placement spaces. It became clear that the psychological evaluation was high for desks and wall hangings. It was inferred that the arrangement of plants reduced the working time.

Recently, there are increasing number of offices to incorporate plants in their interior spaces as a biophilic design approach. This study aims to clarify the characteristics of plants and people coexistence conditions in interior spaces from the defined 431 spatial units around the indoor plants collected from 84 office cases, by analyzing step-by-step the proximity of window and void, surrounding enclosures and visual continuity, and floor sizes and view distances. The study finds 24 characteristic Green Space Patterns from Green Units and Green Zones and 7 Placemaking typologies and 5 attributes for achieving plant visibility.
