“…Furthermore, we found the direct positive effects of perceived street walkability on positive moods. Consistent with this, previous research has shown that viewing a good-quality street environment containing pleasant elements (i.e., trees, light, clean pavement, and street furniture) could promote a positive mood and enhance a sense of pleasure [ 17 , 99 , 100 , 101 ]. On the other hand, the perception of complexity and poor material conditions in the outdoor environment may have side effects that diminish positive mood [ 102 , 103 ].…”

Urban streets are important public spaces for daily activities that play a crucial role in promoting health in the elderly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between perceived street walkability and mood in the elderly, and specifically, the mediating effect of environmental preference and place attachment. We surveyed a total of 269 elderly residents from six streets in Guangzhou, China. We collected assessments of the street environments, environmental preferences, place attachment, and mood status from the elderly. A serial multiple mediator model was constructed using the structural equation modeling method. The results showed that the perceived street walkability was sequentially associated first with an increased level of place attachment (β = 0.798, SE = 0.358, p < 0.000) and then environmental preference (β = 0.191, SE = 0.033, p = 0.038), which was in turn related to improvement of positive mood in the elderly (β = 0.595 SE = 0.341, p < 0.000). Environmental preference alone was found to be significantly associated with positive mood (β = 0.595, SE = 0.341, p < 0.000), while no significant effect of place attachment was found when considered individually (β = −0.075, SE = 0.089, p = 0.395). These findings provide a greater understanding of the possible mechanism through which street environment impacts mood in the elderly. Therefore, when promoting the emotional experience of the elderly, we might consider not only physical environment factors but also psychological conditions in street environments.

“…According to the concept and research framework of the habitat environment science, a human settlement is the integration of five systems including nature, humans, society, residences, and a supporting network. In neighborhoods, except green space, other residential elements such as public facilities [ 28 , 29 ], location and transport [ 30 , 31 ], community services and security [ 32 ], house quality [ 33 ], and social and economic environments [ 34 , 35 ] will all influence residents’ satisfaction. To analyze how residents’ perception of these elements influences their satisfaction, hypotheses were formulated as follows:…”

Residents’ satisfaction of urban green space has been widely detected in living environments around the world. Most previous reports were performed with objective indicators to reflect the characteristics of vegetation and landscapes of residential green space. However, subjective senses as impact factors in the evaluation of residents’ satisfaction based on landsenses ecology are scarce. To address this, in this study, physical perception, aesthetic cognition, and psychological cognition as latent variables in a structural equation model were investigated to determine the residents’ satisfaction in Xiamen, in southeast China, a famously high green space coverage region. The results indicate that physical perception is the fundamental condition to improve residents’ satisfaction, while aesthetic cognition and psychological cognition are the direct factors that influenced residents’ satisfaction. Residents exhibit a preference for the residential green space which contains more biodiversity and landscape diversity, a higher biomass, and greater openness. In addition, the residents’ perception significantly related to greenspace characteristics. The results provide a scientific basis for urban green space planning and optimization of ecological resources’ allocation.

“…Dalam kata lain, model ini menjelaskan bagaimana rangsangan persekitaran mempengaruhi reaksi emosi seseorang yang akhirnya memberi kesan terhadap tingkah laku secara positif atau negatif (Mehrabian & Russel 1974). Model psikologi persekitaran ini juga digunakan sebagai teori asas untuk memahami tindak balas afektif kakitangan, produktiviti, motivasi, dan tingkah laku dalam organisasi (Chen & Zhang 2018;Kaplan & Kaplan 2009). Kajian lepas mendapati bahawa rangsangan persekitaran meningkatkan bukan sahaja sikap yang positif tetapi juga tingkah laku mereka dalam organisasi (Cho et al 2020;So et al 2021).…”
