“…To date, human experimentation has become more consistent with these media. Using full-color video as a proxy of real landscapes has been widely used in previous literature [29,30]. Research has demonstrated that natural exposure to videos provides emotional healing for those unable to access the outdoors, comparing it to real outdoor experiences, with both being emotionally beneficial and restorative [31]; Research has also shown that the healing effect of landscape color can be verified by creating a digital roaming landscape and inviting subjects to complete a Likert scale.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the public's perceived restorative to urban green spaces (UGS). Compared to Modern Urban Park (MUP), little research has been done on the restoration potential of Classical Chinese Garden (CCG). To fill this gap, we collect video clips of various scenarios to produce video images of CCG and MUP representing UGS. Public evaluations of the videos were collected, and the data were analyzed by combining the Short Version Revision Repair Scale (SRRS) and deep learning techniques. They are finding proof for enhancing the healing effects of CCG and MUP. The results indicated that the difference between the two restorations was not significant. Videos representing CCG had a greater standard deviation of restorative (lower consensus) compared to videos depicting MUP. Deep learning techniques for semantic segmentation combined with expert scoring methods can effectively help us to understand the drivers affecting resilience, and we combine our findings to conclude that improved water feature design is an essential driver for enhancing the perceived restorative of CCGs and that decreasing specific artificial modern structures, enhancing vegetation cover, and increasing public exposure to nature is critical to strengthening the restorative of both. Hopefully, these findings will improve visitors' recovery in UGS environments and guide landscape architects to intervene more effectively in healing design in UGS.

“…Greenspace has been discussed concerning urban residents' social cohesion and perceived well-being. Researchers found that people regard greenspace as gathering places with family, friends or neighbors (Irvine et al, 2013;Schetke et al, 2016;Mao et al, 2020;Fisher et al, 2021;Sen and Guchhait, 2021) emphasizing that increasing social bond through the nearby natural environment prevents social isolation (Ward Thompson et al, 2016) and promotes environmental justice (Enssle and Kabisch, 2020). Especially for social minority groups, greenspace functions as a place for their unification and acculturation (leBrasseur, 2022).…”

The intricate connection between urban residents and their surrounding greenspaces highlights the multifaceted relationship shaping individuals’ sense of place within urban environment. This study explores the influential relationship between greenspace interactions (GI) and the resultant greenspace sense of place (GSP) while considering four types of greenspaces (GT) as moderators. Employing partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), data was gathered from 400 participants, encompassing different GT within Seoul City, South Korea, to investigate the nuanced associations among psychological, physical, social, and environmental dimensions of GI and their impacts on place attachment (PA), sense of community (SoC), and utilitarian sense of place (USoP) in the GSP framework. Findings confirm a significant relationship between GI and GSP, emphasizing the role of environmental consciousness as a predominant factor influencing individuals’ overall perception on urban nature. Notably, despite conceptual expectations, the study revealed no moderation effect of different GT on the GI-GSP relationship, underscoring the universal relevance of urban greenspaces in fostering residents’ GSP. The result emphasizes the intrinsic value of urban greenspaces in shaping the preference of urban residents regarding urban nature.

“…The PV methodology is characterized by group or community co-creating videos on a topic, drawing collective perspectives according to what they feel is important and how they want it to be represented (Mistry and Berardi, 2012;Cai et al, 2019). PV combines the need to represent multiple viewpoints while capturing the complexities of the real world (Fisher et al, 2021). Through PV, local knowledge is integrated and influences the research process (Bignante et al, 2016;Milne, 2016), thus supporting dialogue between researchers and community members.…”

Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) has gained traction as one of the effective strategies in tackling the climate crisis. Many CSA practices have been promoted by development agencies to smallholder farmers based on the assumption that farmers would adopt these innovations for their potential benefits. However, the adoption of CSA practices in Ghana and much of Africa remains low and decision making and on-farm innovation processes are poorly understood. This study seeks to provide empirical and participatory insight into how smallholder farmers innovate. Based on a novel application of a participatory video methodology, in farming communities in the Upper West Region of Ghana, that have been exposed to multiple CSA intervention programmes, the paper analyses farmers’ own self-curated accounts of experiences with CSA innovation. The findings show that farmer’s motivation to adopt CSA innovations is driven by their concerns for food security, economic gains, and the environmental impact of climate change on their farming activities and livelihood. The study reveals a mismatch between the CSA technologies and practices advanced by the development agencies and what farmers perceive as relevant and important in addressing their farming challenges. In particular, the findings show that in a pool of more than 12 CSA technologies and practices that had been promoted through three donor-driven intervention programmes in the communities, farmers selected less labour intensive, less costly, and CSA technologies and practices that fitted to their current farming practices and the local context. Agricultural extension agents served as an important information source on the CSA innovation and their practical implementation and farmers’ social groups played a crucial role in facilitating learning about the CSA technologies and practices. There is the need to integrate farmers voices using innovative methodologies such as participatory videos to better understand farmers’ experiences in the innovation process which will help inform the design of effective interventions and promote adoption of innovations aimed at enhancing the productivity of smallholder farmers and reducing environmental impacts in African food systems. By focusing on the innovations that farmers perceive as beneficial and adaptable to their local contexts, development organizations can use their resources more efficiently and promote adoption of contextually appropriate CSA innovations.
