Discourses concerning the potential health benefits of blue-green infrastructure (BGI) have gained momentum, highlighting its positive influence on human and wellbeing. While studies explored concept "Nature pyramid" role exposure to natural environments in promoting health, water elements remains underexplored. Rooted this concept, study proposed a notion "blue-green diet" as framework understand intricate mechanisms determinants optimal exposure. Understanding relationship between these their health-related impacts can facilitate enhancement BGI design, leading greater effectiveness wellbeing supporting sustainable urban development strategies. To enhance comprehension diet", conducted systematic literature review grasp underlying behind beneficial effects, focusing two key which are also derived from Pyramid": (1) type (2) mode interaction with within BGIs.

Urbanisation poses significant challenges to urban ecosystems and public health. Urban blue–green spaces are integral play a crucial role in enhancing health through ecological social pathways. This paper systematically reviewed research progress on the benefits of infrastructure from 2014 2024, using CiteSpace. By analysing 2346 publications, it revealed development history emerging trends field. Over past decade, relevant publications have increased, with two major groups dominated by China Western countries but less cooperation. lack collaboration may restrict diverse population inclusion, reduce generalizability, hinder bridging policy cultural gaps. Findings focused “Ecosystem services”, “physical activity”, “residential green areas” also highlighted shift focus foundational theories investigating mechanisms spaces, issues environmental justice, impact exposure levels well-being. However, synergistic effects justice require further investigation. Future should prioritise interdisciplinary international collaboration, advancing policies applications integrate into promotion sustainable planning.

Background Green and blue spaces, as crucial components of urban ecosystems, significantly impact the physical mental health residents. However, mechanisms through which Green/Blue Space Justice influence residents’ remain unclear. Methods This study aims to explore green spaces on public psychological responses, activity, from a justice perspective, examine moderating role in this relationship. The research was conducted selected communities within Chang-Zhu-Tan agglomeration Hunan Province, China. A total 801 valid questionnaires were collected field visits online surveys. uses an improved Gaussian-based two-step floating catchment area (2SFCA) method assess space accessibility. Data analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) moderation effect analysis reveal relationships between variables. Results findings indicate that has significant positive health; responses activity play mediating roles affects chain mediation path involving activity. Moreover, Blue moderates but does not have direct health. Conclusion enriches theory by revealing it influences via It provides scientific basis for development healthy cities. Additionally, recommends planning should prioritize equitable distribution high accessibility both comprehensively enhance well-being.

From perspective blue health, this paper takes along Min River Fuzhou City research object. It constructs mediation model “Waterfront characteristic (WLC)→Water-friendly environmental preference (WEP)→Emotional benefit (EB)”. The role WEP mechanisms linking WLC EB different was explored through quantification indicators, questionnaires, physiological measurements. main results showed that (1) ability types arouse positive emotions population is characterized by blue-dominated space > co-dominated green-dominated space, while opposite true terms inducing negative emotions; (2) green visibility, naturalness, water-friendliness, openness all significantly related EBs could affect either directly or mediated WEPs, seems not WEPs; (3) cleanliness affects population’s coherence dimension, no significant improving EBs.

Abstract The benefits of green spaces as a public health resource for people's physical and mental well-being are being supported by growing body evidence. While most studies only employ limited-duration testing to examine specific type space, our utilization these resources is continuous ever-changing. This study takes unique approach embracing perspective, integrating the beauty external forest greenery with concept vertical buildings indoors. Using Recovery Results Scale (ROS), 78 college students were examined changes in markers while continuously watching landscape under stress, focus on exploring relationship between EEG data stress recovery. results indicate that β waves, θ RAB, ROS indicators have temporal influence, trends physiological psychological change over time. beta wave reactive oxygen species (ROS) readings increase peaks at T2 then gradually decreases, RAB also decreases channels (FP2 T4), α (FP1, F3, F4), T5, T6) exhibit significant variations across three time periods.The research findings provide valuable insights into promoting perceptual recovery among adolescents environment.

As people age, their activity radius gradually narrows, leading to increased interaction with the community environment. The natural environment (NE) within may influence subjective and psychological well-being (SPWB) of older (i.e., air quality, noise, green space, blue space). To enhance NE promote SPWB people, this study explored effect on people. A questionnaire survey involving 180 from three communities was collected, alongside observations measurements community. Finally, a NE-SPWB model established, indicating that smell (air), ambient space areas, water landscapes, (water) all positively influenced Based these findings, recommendations were proposed environmental conditions, such as improving landscapes spaces, further
