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

Street Canyon adalah area jalan yang diapit oleh bangunan di kedua sisinya, menciptakan lingkungan seperti ngarai. Street Canyon mempengaruhi tingkat kenyamanan termal pengguna jalan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan antara masing-masing atribut kenyamanan termal di Street Canyon Jalan MH Thamrin pada kerapatan RTH yang berbeda ditinjau dari temperatur udara, kelembaban udara, kecepatan angin, dan suhu permukaan. Kawasan tersebut diteliti berdasarkan dua segmen, yaitu RTH lebat dan RTH non lebat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode deskriptif evaluatif dengan pendekatan kuantitatif. Pengukuran atribut iklim dilakukan pada pagi, siang, dan sore hari selama 3 hari. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa atribut kenyamanan termal di Jalan MH Thamrin tidak memenuhi standar kenyamanan termal. Kenyamanan termal pada RTH non lebat lebih rendah dibandingkan RTH lebat. Nilai rata-rata tiap atribut kenyamanan termal melebihi ambang batas kenyamanan. Berdasarkan analisis NDVI, segmen RTH lebat terklasifikasikan kehijauan sedang (0,25<NDVI<0,35), dan segmen RTH non lebat tergolong kehijauan rendah (0,15<NDVI<0,25). Hasil analisis korelasi rank spearman menunjukkan, terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara atribut kenyamanan termal yang dihubungkan dengan nilai sig. 0,000.

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

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.

Abstract

Urbanization causes limited access to nature; therefore, virtual reality (VR) is needed to stay connected to nature. This study aims to identify the physiological and psychological effects of park therapy using VR. This study was conducted using experimental methods via a VR survey. The parameters observed included physiological effects, such as heart rate and blood pressure, and psychological effects, such as mood, level of anxiety, restorativeness, and landscape perception. Profile of Mood States, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Perceived Restorativeness Scale, and Semantic Differential questionnaires were administered to the subject. Virtual park therapy in three locations resulted in possibly lower heart rates when walking in Bogor City Alun-alun, while lower heart rates when seated viewing in Heulang Park; decreased anger, tension, confusion, and depression after walking and decreased anger, tension, confusion, and fatigue after seated viewing, increased vigor after walking and seated viewing in all locations, decreased anxiety status after seated viewing in all locations; restorative effects of fascination, coherence, and compatibility with the highest results in Heulang Park. Sempur Park provides a therapeutic effect because it has thermal comfort and gives regularity to the psychological effect. Virtual park therapy in urban greenspaces is proven to have physiological and psychological relaxation effects.

Abstract

Human health and well-being are affected by the quality of the environment in which an individual lives. Urban spaces must provide restorative experiences to support public mental health. This study aimed to identify visitor preferences for exciting views and stress-relieving features in urban parks. Using visitor-employed photography to capture direct experiences, the study analyzed geotagged photos to identify landscape views, classified restorative landscape elements, and evaluated their effect on urban park visitors. This research employed spatial analysis of photo distribution using QGIS, photo content analysis using Google Cloud Vision API, and assessment of restorative effect through the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS). The photo-taking hotspots were shaded areas with seating, featuring greenery, sculptures, activities, and landmarks. The results showed 2–3 hotspots with the highest photo density in the three parks. The Cloud Vision API classification results identified that the elements of a restorative landscape can be softscape, hardscape, and other factors. The results of the PRS questionnaire test showed that the three parks had a restorative effect on visitors (< 0.05), Sempur Park had the highest fascination (55.13) and compatibility (55.57) effects, and Heulang Park had the highest coherence effect (56.85) than other parks. These findings emphasize the importance of incorporating shaded seating, greenery, and engaging features into urban park designs to enhance visitor health and well-being.
