Evidence-Based Design Guidelines for Restorative Gardens in Healthcare Environments
摘要
Evidence shows that the natural environment has numerous benefits for human health and well-being. This has led to the emergence of design industries focused on creating therapeutic or restorative landscapes. However, most research has been conducted in Western contexts, highlighting the need for studies in diverse cultural and geographical settings. This study aims to address the current challenges faced by landscape architecture in the design of outdoor environments, with the goal of contributing to existing knowledge by proposing evidence-based design principles and guidelines for enhancing therapeutic and restorative landscapes. The research endeavors to foster the development of practical knowledge in designing real-world environments that promote restoration and well-being. This knowledge will not only benefit the progress of urban areas in developing cities but also make valuable contributions to the broader field of landscape architecture. By expanding the evidence base and providing valuable insights into the creation of restorative environments worldwide, this research will have a far-reaching impact.
