摘要

Visual pollution is a significant issue in the urban areas—an underappreciated environmental concerns that negatively impact the visual quality of environments and human well-being. Previous studies have identified rapid urbanization, a lack of regulation, and consumer culture as the main factors contributing to visual pollution. This paper explores how transdisciplinary approaches can be employed to address visual pollution as a complex and dynamic issue in urban areas. These strategies were explored through cross-pollination of insights from different disciplines including Urban Planning, Environmental Planning, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, Environmental Psychology, Sociology, and Environmental Business, to identify new approaches that could combat issues pertaining to visual pollution in the urban environment. The study further explores the psychological and social effects of visual pollution, which can induce stress, anxiety, and decline of quality of life. To solve this complex problem, we believe in a transdisciplinary process that involves working with a variety of stakeholders, including policymakers, urban planners, urban designers, architects, and local authorities and community groups and private and government entities. Examples of this joint effort include conducting thorough visual pollution assessments, developing guidelines and regulations, and launching public awareness and educational campaigns. The study encourages innovative, effective, and sustainable solutions by framing the issue in a transdisciplinary context. It could demand news types of green infrastructure, in addition to art and public art initiatives in urban areas, and it may necessitate features of sustainable consumption. In conclusion, this research highlights the need for transdisciplinary efforts to curb the spread of visual pollution. Drawing upon transdisciplinary knowledge, background, best practices can be established to eliminate visual pollution, increase aesthetic quality, and boost the well-being of the individuals and communities.
