Abstract Access to urban natural space, including blue and greenspace, is associated with improved health. In 2021, the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group set 2030 Urban Nature Declaration (UND) targets: “Quality Total Cover” (30% green area within each city) “Equitable Spatial Distribution” (70% of population living close space). We evaluate progress toward these targets in 96 cities using globally available, high‐resolution data sets for landcover normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI). use European Space Agency (ESA)'s WorldCover define greenspace discrete categories ESA's Sentinel‐2A calculate NDVI, adding “open water” category characterize total space. compare 2020 levels space two UND predict city‐specific NDVI level consistent linear regressions. The 96‐city mean was 0.538 (range: 0.148, 0.739). Most (80%) meet Quality Cover target, nearly half (47%) Equitable Distribution target. Landcover‐measured were strong (mean R 2 = 0.826) moderate 0.597) predictors our NDVI‐based proximity measure, respectively. predicted value meeting 0.478 0.352–0.565) 0.660 0.498–0.767) Distribution. Our translation area‐ access‐based metrics common into metric used epidemiology allows quantifying health benefits achieving such targets.

Nature-based solutions including urban forests and wetlands can help communities cope better with climate change other environmental stressors by enhancing social-ecological resilience. Natural ecosystems, settings, elements affordances also individuals become more personally resilient to a variety of stressors, although the mechanisms underpinning individual-level nature-based resilience, their relations are not well articulated. We propose 'nature-based biopsychosocial resilience theory' (NBRT) address these gaps. Our framework begins suggesting that refer both: a) person's set adaptive resources; b) processes which resources deployed. Drawing on existing nature-health perspectives, we argue nature contact support build maintain biological, psychological, social (i.e. biopsychosocial) resilience-related resources. Together can: i) reduce risk various (preventive resilience); ii) enhance reactions stressful circumstances (response resilience), and/or iii) facilitate rapid complete recovery from stress (recovery resilience). Reference three supports integration across familiar pathways involving harm reduction, capacity building, restoration. Evidence in theory, potential interventions promote issues require further consideration discussed.

Abstract Green space matters for mental health but is under constant pressure in an increasingly urbanising world. Often there little available cities green areas, so it vital to optimise the design and usage of these spaces. To achieve this, experts planning, nature conservation need know which types characteristics spaces are most beneficial residents' health. A scoping review studies that compare different on was conducted. total 215 (experimental, observational qualitative) papers were included review. This highlights a high level heterogeneity study design, geographical locations, outcomes measures. Few specifically designed enable direct comparisons between (e.g. parks forests). The have predominantly experimental research designs looking at effects short‐term exposure affect physiological stress). More enabled only indirect comparisons, either within same or studies. Analysis direction (positive, neutral, negative) from various found positive (i.e. beneficial) across all types. However, did appear render more diverse health, especially case vegetation higher density can be negative health). reveals gaps present evidence base, with specific directly comparing study. Proposed future directions include use longitudinal focusing characteristics, considering actual systematically addressing factors influencing relation type interaction, user experience).

Exposure to natural environments offers an array of mental health benefits. Virtual reality provides simulated experiences being in nature when outdoor access is limited. Previous studies on virtual have focused mainly single "doses" nature. The effects repeated exposure remain poorly understood. Motivated by this gap, we studied the influence a daily intervention symptoms anxiety, depression, and underlying cause poor health: rumination. Forty college students (58% non-Hispanic White, median age = 19) were recruited from two U.S. universities randomly assigned or control group. Over several weeks, anxious arousal (panic) apprehension (worry) decreased with exposure. Participants identifying as women, past VR users, experienced outdoors, engaged beauty benefited particularly strongly did not help anhedonic depression Further research necessary distinguish for whom interventions impact outcomes.

The mental health of university students has received much attention due to the various pressures studies, life, and employment. Several studies have confirmed that campus public spaces contain multiple restorative potentials. Yet, space is still not ready meet students’ new need for percetions. Renewal practices integrate multi-issues are becoming more important, further clarification measurement methods optimization pathways also needed. This study applied semantic segmentation technique deep learning model extract feature indicators outdoor based on street view image (SVI) data. subjective evaluation small-scale SVIs was obtained using perceived scale-11 (PRS-11) questionnaire. On this basis, benefit models were established, including explanatory predictive models. used Pearson’s correlation linear regression analysis identify key affecting benefits, XGBoost 1.7.3 algorithm predict scores scale. accessibility results from sDNA then overlayed form a comprehensive assessment matrix restoration benefits dimensions “areas with potential”. In way, three types spatial (LRB-HA, HRB-LA, LRB-LA) sequential orders temporal (short-term, medium-term, long-term) combined propose dual control accessibility. provides methodological guidelines empirical data regeneration promotes efficiency. addition, it can offer positive references neighborhood-scale urban design sustainable development.

Abstract People who make habitual use of an emotion regulation strategy such as cognitive reappraisal may be more sensitive to the cues coming from a surrounding natural environment and, thus, get benefits virtual nature exposure enhanced subjective vitality. However, no previous study investigated moderating role in relationship between different types environments (a national park, lacustrine environment, and arctic vs. urban environment) We designed between-subject design (four conditions, one per type with sample 187 university students (M age = 21.17, SD 2.55). Participants were exposed four 360° panoramic photos for minute each reality head-mounted display. The results multicategorical moderation analysis attested that there two significant interactions, respectively reappraisal. More specifically, participants low levels reappraisal, effects (vs. urban) on vitality not significant, while high levels, positive. Findings show how potential boosted training aimed at increasing general supports enhancing applications nature, demonstrates need take individual differences into account when determining these applications.
