The design of kindergarten spaces significantly impacts young children’s physical and mental development. This research considers the influence three dimensions space design, specific area, quality use, on development quotient (DQ) children. It this through regression correlation analysis applied to survey data related spatial kindergartens in aforementioned dimensions, along with DQ test scores 270 results reveal a significant positive between (area, use) DQ. With regard dependent variable’s five areas DQ, variables had largest social behaviour, then language, gross motor adaptability; however, they no fine motor. And finally, while these male children was found slightly exceed their impact female not impacted by monthly age changes. In order ensure environment positively affects development, attribute particular significance index indoor outdoor per-student area; extent which is interesting; potential for diversification duration use evolve.

Urban street spaces play a crucial role in children’s daily commuting and social activities. Therefore, the design of these must give more consideration to perceptual preferences. Traditional landscape perception studies often rely on subjective analysis, which lacks objective, data-driven insights. This study overcomes this limitation by using eye-tracking technology evaluate preferences scientifically. We collected data from 57 children aged 6–12 as they naturally viewed 30 images depicting school environments. Data analysis revealed that proportions elements different types influenced visual characteristics age group. On well-maintained main secondary roads, such minibikes, people, plants, grass attracted significant attention children. In contrast, commercial streets residential streets, characterized greater diversity elements, elicited frequent gazes. Children’s behaviors were particularly vibrant like walls, cars, signboards, trade. Furthermore, due developmental immaturity systems, no gender differences observed perception. Understanding provides new perspective for researching sustainable development child-friendly cities at community level. These findings offer valuable insights optimizing streets.

International research has highlighted the relationship between physical environment of schools and perceived well-being different actors in educational community. Although these studies pointed out a variables, there is little that delves into nature quality this relationship. The present study aimed to analyse mediating effect perception classroom (considering aspects such as lighting, acoustics, visibility, size, order, aesthetic features) on school climate subjective students state-funded Chile. A total 19.567 (48,77% female) fifth eighth grade from 425 vulnerable Chile participated.

Problems with schools' indoor-air quality are common, and they can cause health problems to adolescents. However, no previous research has examined how adolescents make sense of such contaminated socio-material environments or what kinds agency those afford. Taking an ecological psychology perspective informed by frame analysis, we analysed longitudinal focus group interviews in a Finnish school longstanding problems. We constructed three composite first-person narratives that reflected different experiential frames, corresponding forms changes agency. found our made the same environment its affordances very ways, this process afforded them develop many changed over time.

Environments can affect mood, motivation, and productivity. Green spaces, for example, are known to have calming effects on people's moods. In virtual reality (VR), we could take advantage of these effects, as full visual control over the environment. this paper, explore how such potential caused by environment impact performance user experience (UX) when playing an exergame. We created four environments differing in their level detail realism.: (1) a white room, (2) outer space, (3) abstract (4) forest study (N=26) which participants played exergame all environments, found evidence that VEs influence enjoyment performance. The simulation green spaces or with enjoyable background sounds has particularly positive impact. discuss environmental features UX present promising avenues future work investigating specific parts features.

Biophilic design emphasises human connections to nature enhance health and well-being. In medical environments, the biophilic hypothesis suggests improved healing outcomes when patients have a connection nature. Emerging evidence indicates that if teachers students experience greater sense of well-being in campus environment, they are likely better teaching learning outcomes. To understand this at deep level, critical synthesis analysis some fifty systematic reviews outlines significant emerging body support approach.
