Abstract

Green space has a vital role in the community’s health and well-being. Forest bathing is an effective method of enjoying the forest atmosphere through physical activity or relaxing in a forest landscape. However, until now, no one has declared the benefits of forest therapy in Indonesia. This study clarifies the physiological and psychological effects of walking in a campus landscape. This research was conducted using experimental methods through physical activity survey, self-report questionnaires, Visitor Employed Photography (VEP), and automatic classification based on the image annotation API. The experiment was conducted in a park and an arboretum, and thirty-two young university subjects were tested. The participants walked for fifteen minutes on walking routes and district roads. Their blood pressure was measured before and after walking, and their heart rate was measured continuously. During the walk, the subjects took photographs of striking scenes using the Visitor Employed Photography method. Profile of Mood States (POMS) and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) were used to evaluate the psychological responses. Walking in the campus landscape resulted in a lower heart rate, less negative moods, and less anxiety than walking on the district road. Out of 837 photographs, 45% were taken from the Academic Event Plaza, 41.5% from the Arboretum, and the remaining 13.5% from district road, Jalan Raya Dramaga. Two main groups of campus green spaces included man-made landscape consisting of road surface, buildings, plant organs, stairs, and terrestrial plants; and natural landscape consisting of sky, trees, flowers, clouds, and plant community. This study found that walking in campus green space induced physiological and psychological health benefits and prominent landscape elements supported the green campus.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world order from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on changes in healthy living practices, such as decreased physical exercise and increased stress, compromising psychological well-being. The psychological impacts of walking and relaxing in urban green spaces on IPB University students are investigated in this study. Bogor City Alun-Alun, Sempur Park, and Heulang Park were used for the experiment. Participants completed 15 minutes of walking and relaxed sitting before and after the experiment, and the psychological impacts were assessed using Profiles of Mood States (POMS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and WHO Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) before and after the experiment. The results indicate that physical activity improves psychological wellness. These findings give scientific evidence for the psychologically relaxing effects of walking and relaxed sitting, as well as recommendations to support the development and construction of therapeutic urban green spaces.

Abstract

Promoting positive mental health is of utmost importance, especially in today's urban context, as recognized by the World Health Organization. However, the scarcity of green spaces in urban areas presents challenges for fostering a connection with nature. To address this gap, this study investigates the distinctive contribution of urban home gardens to the mental well-being of women in the Greater Jakarta Area. Through an online survey, participant backgrounds and mental well-being were assessed using the WEMWBS scale. Validity and reliability were established using Pearson's product-moment correlation and Cronbach's alpha, respectively. The study unravels several influential factors, including garden interaction (visit frequency and duration) and size. Crucially, it advances the literature by shedding light on the original contribution of urban home gardens to mental well-being. Notably, women who visit their urban home garden more than seven times a week and spend over two hours per day in their garden report the highest levels of mental well-being. These findings highlight the unique role of urban home gardens in promoting mental well-being among urban women. Consequently, they hold implications for policymakers and practitioners aiming to enhance mental well-being and foster access to green spaces in urban areas.

Abstract

Jl. MH Thamrin is a street canyon area that is experiencing global warming, and has minimal vegetation to shade road users. This study aims to describe attributes of thermal comfort at Street Canyon, Jl. MH Thamrin at different green open space densities. Data collection was carried out by observing for 3 days using a thermohygrometer, anemometer data logger, DJI Thermal Drone, mini weather station. The collected air temperature and humidity data are analyzed by THI. The measurement results showed that air temperature data in non-dense area was higher than dense area, with a total average of 31,12°C and 30,27°C. It is different with the humidity which turns out to be more humid in dense areas (62,69%) than in non-dense areas (62,16%). This difference occurs because trees are able to reduce incoming sunlight thereby creating a humid atmosphere. The magnitude of the wind speed in dense areas is 1,41m/s, while for non-dense areas data is lower, namely 0,99 m/s. Surface temperature data is much hotter than air temperature. The lowest surface temperature in the non-dense area is around 26,95°C, while the highest surface temperature is 39,1°C. Likewise, the dense area segment has a maximum surface temperature of 33,9°C with a minimum surface temperature of 26,1°C. Furthermore, through the THI analysis it is known that the two segments are classified as uncomfortable. The highest THI is in non-dense areas 31°C, and 30,1°C in dense areas. It can be concluded that Street Canyon, Jl. MH Thamrin doesn’t have good thermal comfort in both areas.

Abstract

The existence of urban green open space is very important for the creation of a public space that can support various public activities of urban residents and become an ecological space for the creation of an adequate quality urban environment. Bogor City is one of the cities that is currently developing green open space in the form of an urban park to meet the needs of public space as a means of gathering and recreation. Thermal comfort is very important and must be considered in a green space. To obtain the thermal conditions of a landscape, this research uses a thermal drone. This study aims to identify the thermoscape characteristics of landscape elements and people's perceptions of it and also the correlations between them. The analysis used Agisoft Metashape, ArcMap 10.5, Google Earth Pro, Adobe Photoshop CS6, Microsoft Office 2019, and Image Color Summarizer online tool. The thermoscape results in the two urban parks are different due to differences in weather. However, the thermal conditions of each landscape elements are almost the same in both parks. Hardscapes in both parks can have a temperature of >40? C, while vegetation, especially trees, can have a temperature of <20? C. According to respondents, both parks are still considered warm based on their thermal sensation. Hot urban park areas can be modified by presenting a wider green space with good distribution and proportion to make it comfortable for the users.

Abstract

Alun-alun Kebumen and Alun-alun Karanganyar are green open spaces located in Kebumen, Central Java. Trees are one component of green open space that has various benefits. The physical condition of the trees is something that needs to be considered in a public green open space so that the trees remain in healthy condition and can grow normally. Study of physical damage of plant at the Alun-alun was raised as a topic of research activity to determine the physical condition of the plants in the Alun-alun in Kebumen Regency. The purpose of this study is to identify the damage of plants and the factors that cause the damage, analyzing the level of gap in plant maintenance had been implemented, and compiling recommendations for plant maintenance in Alun-alun Kebumen and Alun-alun Karanganyar. This plant damage research have been conducted using the FHM (Forest Health Monitoring) method and the USDA Forest Service damage index. Alun-alun Kebumen has an area of 3,9 ha and located in the center of the district, has 16 species of trees, 18 species of shrubs, and 2 species of grass. The tree population in Alun-alun Kebumen is 252 trees. Alun-alun Karanganyar has an area of 3,2 ha and located in a sub-district which is 14 km from the district center. It has 18 species of trees, 15 species of shrubs, and 1 species of grass. The tree population in Alun-alun Karanganyar is 262 trees. The results of this research is that Alun-alun Kebumen had more physical damage of plants with 380 cases from total 252 trees, while Alun-alun Karanganyar had 319 cases from total 262 trees. Damage of trees can be caused by a lack or excess of nutrients, pests or disease. The gap value of plant maintenance in Alun-alun Karanganyar is greater than Alun-alun Kebumen. Handling physical damage of trees is carried out by carrying out routine maintenance combined with chemical treatment in the form of applying pesticides according to the level of tree damage. This research is the initial stage of mitigating fallen trees. Developments that can be implemented after this research are designing green open space for public squares by selecting tree species that have been evaluated for their vulnerability and whose health is monitored regularly

Abstract

COVID-19 has doubled the prevalence of mental health problems among young adults. In Indonesia, it extends the vulnerability of families, increases economic uncertainty, interrupts food security, and affects psychological well-being. Accordingly, this research examined the correlation between psychological effects and preferred landscape elements. Experiments were conducted in a campus park, arboretum, and a road. Participants captured attractive views during the walk using the Visitor-Employed Photography method and evaluated psychological effects using the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) pre-and post-walking. Google Cloud Vision API was used to get the image annotation keywords. The results indicated a correlation between psychological effects and preferred landscape elements. Park therapy components, including plant, flower, and sky, were negatively correlated with negative moods and anxiety levels. These findings presented scientific evidence for the psychological relaxation outcome of walking and prominent components of park therapy to support therapeutic campus greenspace planning.

Abstract

During the lockdown period, people were restricted from doing many things, particularly activities outside the home, putting strain on psychological circumstances. This study intends to demonstrate that providing a home garden to improve the psychological state of the workers' community may alleviate the challenges of access to green open space in city settings. This study investigates the psychological state of employees and the impact of home gardens on the psychological state of workers in numerous cities in Indonesia during the pandemic. The survey was carried out utilising the Snowball sampling approach by asking various questions and filling out a questionnaire on the participants' backgrounds and psychological problems using PSS-14 and WEMWBS. Data from participants were analysed using correlation and ANOVA. According to the findings of this study, the presence of a home garden utilised for activities has a substantial impact on the psychological condition of the working community. It is advised that the workers' community participate in activities in the home garden five days a week for at least one hour. On the other hand, it is suggested that urban housing developers pay more attention to the house garden and its constituent aspects.
