Abstract:
This study investigates the impact of interior water features on stress and anxiety, focusing on how these elements can create calming environments in various settings. By exploring the psychological effects of water features such as fountains, aquariums, and water walls, this research aims to understand their role in promoting mental well-being. Through qualitative methods, including in-depth interviews, focus groups, and observational studies, the research delves into the experiences and perceptions of individuals interacting with these features. The findings aim to provide interior designer

Abstract:
With rising stress levels in modern society, restorative virtual environments (RVEs) offer promising solutions for promoting emotional well-being through immersive, nature-inspired design. However, limited research has examined which specific natural elements within RVEs most effectively alleviate psychological stress. This study involves a controlled experiment conducted within Rec Room, a virtual reality platform, to examine how both fixed green environments and natural, moving elements affect users' emotional states and physiological responses.

Abstract:
Exposure to natural environments can have calming and stress-reducing effects on humans. Moreover, previous studies suggest that these benefits may be greater in areas with higher species richness. Our study took advantage of a “natural experiment” to examine people’s behavioral, physiological, and psychological reactions to increases in levels of marine biota in a large aquarium exhibit during three stages of restocking: Unstocked, Partially stocked, and Fully stocked. We found that increased biota levels were associated with longer spontaneous viewing of the exhibit, greater reductions in he

Abstract:
This paper explores the relationship between crowding and streets as public open spaces in high-density urban environments from the perspectives of perceived density and human needs, two antecedents to crowdedness. City streets are the places through which various forms of crowding are perceived and experienced. Hence, they can play a role in easing this sense of crowding if corresponding strategies are put in place. The paper argues that practices, such as traffic calming and self-building, can transform the streets to serve as public open space, which increases spaciousness and eases crowdin

Abstract:
This essay will analyze the effect of using the color blue to influence appetite and address the rising obesity epidemic. By researching the psychological impacts of color on eating behaviors, it highlights how blue environments can suppress appetite and encourage mindful eating. Historical context shows colors have long influenced moods, with blue promoting relaxation and red stimulating hunger. Research, including studies by Charles Spence and Brian Wansink, indicates that blue, being rare in natural foods, can reduce food consumption.

Abstract:
The usefulness of golf carts for transporting patients in hospital facilities is well known. Nursing homes, medical campuses, and any type of related service require the low-speed transport of patients either in a seat, in a wheelchair, or on a stretcher. This type of transport is not limited to hospitals, but also includes other environments where there are people with special requirements. Think for instance of handicapped or elderly people that need a van because they have to go from their homes to any destination; therefore, the use of golf carts becomes relevant and attractive.
