Frontiers in Psychology, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: Jan. 9, 2023

Although the mental health benefits of exposure to simulated natural environments are well established by researchers from environmental psychology, landscape architecture, and public health, it is unclear whether what extent technological immersion affects these benefits.Systematical literature searches were conducted in May 2022 six databases. The risk bias was evaluated using Cochrane's Risk Bias tool 2.0 Non-randomized Studies Interventions tool. We performed a random-effects meta-regression investigate heterogeneity. levels included studies classified projection devices motion capture, then subgroup analysis conducted.Twenty-six publications included. Exposure nature confirmed be associated with increased positive affect 0.40 [95% confidence interval (CI): 0.22, 0.58], vigor 0.58 (95% CI: 0.30, 0.86), calmness 0.54 0.17, 0.92) decreased perceived stress -0.38 -0.71, -0.06), total mood disturbance -0.87 -1.17, -0.57), tension -0.70 -0.99, -0.41), fatigue -0.60 -0.91, -0.28), anxiety -0.72 -1.43, -0.02), depression -0.33 -0.52, -0.14), confusion -0.79 -1.19, -0.40), anger -0.54 -0.76, -0.31). Gender, status, study design, mean age, single duration not significant when entered meta-regression. For affect, medium observed produce larger effect than low high immersion. All had moderate bias.Audio-visual contributes relief emotional arousal. level explains heterogeneity triggered nature. Focusing on technical features will open up new possibilities for combining actual nature's benefits.

Equity in park green spaces: a bibliometric analysis and systematic literature review from 2014-2023

Frontiers in Environmental Science, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: March 19, 2024

With the global increase in population and accelerated process of urbanization, equitable access to park green spaces by diverse communities has become a growing concern. In order provide an overview developmental trends, research focal points, influencing factors study equity spaces, this paper employs bibliometric analysis visualization software CiteSpace systematically analyze relevant literature Web Science core database from 2014 December 2023. The findings reveal increasing emphasis on delineated into two distinct phases: period gradual exploration (2014–2018) followed rapid development (2018 present). Key nations contributing domain include China, United States, Germany. Currently, focus field primarily centers space based primary social fairness, vulnerable groups, relationship between health. mainly involve regional economic government planning, as well residents’ capabilities racial discrimination. Future directions could studying among different demographic emerging assessment methods data, perceived accessibility, surface temperature.

Effects of Urban Landmark Landscapes on Residents’ Place Identity: The Moderating Role of Residence Duration

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(2), P. 761 - 761

Published: Jan. 16, 2024

Landmark landscapes, as visual representations of cities, are readily identifiable to urban residents. Observing and visiting these landscapes fosters a cultural connection identity with the locale, enhances character, promotes tourism. A place’s is instrumental in development improvement. Urban planners managers should thus prioritize fostering residents’ place within city environments. In this study, we explored influence landmark on residents Nanjing—a rapidly urbanizing both historic modern districts. Our methodology included on-site surveys application structural equation model discern relationships between various landscape elements identity. The findings revealed following: (1) positively construction identity; (2) characteristics, function, historical–cultural importance contribute formation; (3) duration residence moderates relationship These insights elucidate role shaping identity, which turn characteristics bolsters sense belonging. strategic planning design building public consensus, distinctive strengthening thereby catalyzing tourism development.

Exposure to Smoke From Wildfire, Prescribed, and Agricultural Burns Among At‐Risk Populations Across Washington, Oregon, and California

GeoHealth, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 8(4)

Published: April 1, 2024

Abstract Wildfires, prescribed burns, and agricultural burns all impact ambient air quality across the Western U.S.; however, little is known about how communities region are differentially exposed to smoke from each of these fire types. To address this gap, we quantify exposure stemming wildfire, prescribed, Washington, Oregon, California 2014 2020 using a type‐specific biomass burning emissions inventory GEOS‐Chem chemical transport model. We examine PM 2.5 concentration by race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, in relation Center for Disease Control's Social Vulnerability Index. Overall, population‐weighted concentrations greater wildfires than burns. While found limited evidence disparities among sub‐groups full study area, did observe disproportionately higher exposures wildfire‐specific Native three states and, California, burn‐specific lower groups. also identified, states, areas significant spatial clustering types increased social vulnerability. These results provide first look at differential contributions wildfires, demographic subgroups, which can be used inform more tailored reduction strategies sources.
