“…This study is an attempt to make a direct response deduction from a containment zone population in order to understand the role of available natural and built environment aspects acting as coping mechanism catalysts in possible control factor in development of cases of anxiety and depression from within the boundaries of Covid-19 isolation or confinement of the participants. In order to simplify the hypotheses, a modified version of Built Environment Variable (BEV) Score adapted from Rai et al, 2020 [ 43 ] and Asim & Shree, 2019 [ 44 ] is used as a derived variable of continuous nature to represent various built environment aspects in their cumulative strength. We tested three hypotheses: 1) Students with higher BEV Score are at lower risk of Depression; 2) Students with higher BEV Score are at lower risk of Anxiety and 3) Students with higher BEV Score will have least adverse effect on productivity.…”

The interactive role of the ecological, architectural, biophilic, and sensory qualities of outdoor and indoor spaces in the restorative experiences of urban inhabitants is little known. We analyzed the restorative influence on mood states and situational stress related to exposure to vegetation proportion, spatial extension, landmark salience, biophilic architecture, people density, street visual access, olfactory pleasantness, and noise of 65 public spaces in a Mexican city. The environmental qualities of these places were analyzed with multidimensional scaling (MDS), leading to eight space categories (e.g., historic squares with biophilic architecture, large parks, street scenes, and interiors with non-biophilic architecture). Ratings of the restorative potential, mood states, situational stress, olfactory pleasantness, and noise annoyance were evaluated on such places and modeled through a structural equation modeling (SEM). The model shows that the restorative influence of the environmental qualities on moods and stress was related to a decrease in experiences of negative moods and perceived stress, and an increase of positive mood states. Based on our findings, we discuss design guidelines, emphasizing the relevance of including vegetation and built elements with biophilic qualities to create restorative environments.
