Informal green spaces (IGSs) play an essential role in enhancing urban well-being by offering restorative environments, yet the impact of visitor behaviors on perceived restorativeness (PR) remains underexplored. This study investigates how different spatio-temporal influence PR IGS, providing planners with actionable insights to optimize these for better user experiences. Using a visitor-employed photography (VEP) survey and post-visit assessments, K-means clustering was applied identify distinct behavior patterns. Correlation analysis further explored relationships between patterns PR; results reveal three unique clusters behaviors—fast, extensive exploration; moderate, focused slow, thorough exploration—each showing impacts PR. Visitors who engage rapid, broad exploration perceive larger, navigable as more restorative, while those focusing specific or in-depth emphasize psychological aspects like escape fascination. These behavioral demonstrate varying strengths their association experiences; underscores importance integrating data highlighting physical features IGS findings offer critical designing managing accommodate diverse needs promote well-being.

Urban thermal anomalies profoundly impact human society, affecting daily life, public health, and residential comfort. Prior studies linked to urban morphology evolution land use change during urbanization based on multi-indicator quantification of linear regression modeling. However, it remained unclear which elements predominantly dominate whether their is solely linear, understanding the diverse mechanisms through how influences various across seasons remains limited. Therefore, this study employed convolutional neural networks interpretable machine learning (Grad-CAM SHAP) explore nonlinear relationships between anomalies, focusing comparisons different types anomaly events time. The main findings indicated: (1) Grad-CAM's identification pivotal hotspot pixels SHAP's interpretability assessment highlighted that crucial factors contributing include area green spaces, water number facilities, building floor ratio, count industrial production facilities.

In direction, suppresses VIV at non-resonant frequencies, while resonance, it amplifies 50%, delays onset reduces galloping 30%. These intensify increasing SPL. aims improve understanding wind-induced 3D cylinders contributes wind-resistant design strategies for slender structures, particularly in presence low-frequency waves.
