About this Research Topic
Access to and interaction with green spaces has numerous benefits for our health. Exposure to nature and well-maintained landscapes has been associated with reduced stress levels, improved mental well-being, and increased physical activity. The presence of nature and green spaces has been linked to improved cognitive function, attention restoration, and creativity, which positively impact our mental and emotional states. Additionally, green spaces provide opportunities for social interaction, community engagement, and a sense of belonging, all of which are vital for overall well-being and social cohesion.
By recognizing the importance of landscaping in urban planning and design, we can enhance overall health and create happier and healthier communities. This has motivated the exploration of various themes involving landscaping, design, and analysis with a focus on health and well-being and their consequences on quality of life.
