Full textAbstract:
The global pandemic of COVID-19, which enforced strict isolation, demonstrated the responsibility of architects and planners for public health promotion. While the concept of therapeutic landscapes is rather new, the quest for designing health-promoting human environment is at least as old as urban planning. The garden suburbs of Ebenezer Howard and Patrick Geddes were planned to promote health and well-being. The ultimate goal of Le Corbusier was to provide daylight and fresh air to each apartment. However, towers in open green space, which were built according to his visions, turned into unfriendly large suburbs. Today, the definition of therapeutic landscapes encompasses not only physical aspects of environment but also social and psychological factors. This study focuses on attempts to create health-promoting places. The interesting question is what are the architectural features linked to health promotion? Although the individual perception of health-promoting places is subjective and may vary, there are some objective qualities of eco-neighbourhoods that are conducive to human health and longevity. This study combines literature review with field observation and resultes in the development of the conceptual framework which can be consolidated into the universal standards for health-promoting places.

Abstract Nature, childhood, and ecopsychology can to be connected in the landscape of a schoolyard. The landscape architecture of the natural environments serves as a wide-open green space for outdoor activities, creating imaginative and inventive urban environmental layouts and connecting natural elements. School-based green experience, either indoor or outdoor, can be a physical and mental activity for children. In the case of individuals, it makes` easy to access a natural, green environment and to be actively involved in a natural setting, developing either social and/or cognitive functions and improving concentration and creativity. Therapeutic horticulture activity, such as planting indoor plants, can be a good experience for developing team work, the proprioceptive (kinase) receptors, affectivity, socialization, permanent care, and responsibility. The potential benefits of ornamental plants for children involved in public education include spending time in outdoor spaces, fresh air and sunshine, experiencing a sense of control, and being exposed to sensory stimulations. Physical and psychological education based on therapeutic horticulture activities in Romanian schools, such as planting and green care, can provide important opportunities for children to develop their attachment to nature, offering sustainable education solutions to an active part of the natural environment.

Adolescents have significant capacity to engage in theological inquiry and theological reflection. How do at-risk teens articulate their faith and practice? This study explores how at-risk youth practice and articulate their beliefs through semi-formal qualitative interviews. This research suggests a caution to a simple therapeutic interpretation of adolescents’ faith without first taking into account the traumatogenic nature of their environment. Best practices for faith articulation and recommendations for further study are included.

Full textAbstract:
Healing and therapeutic landscape design proposals are particularly suitable for medical facilities and, in general, facilities for people with health disorders, where they become a major support in difficult situations and can serve as a supplement to treatment. They do not replace medical help and different therapies, and neither do they exclude their need. However, their effects can improve and accelerate the recovery process in patients. In Slovakia, medical facilities do not often meet modern medical care requirements in terms of their technologies and equipment. For this reason, it is necessary to mainly transform hospital facilities and their exteriors in order to create the required natural foundation for patients in the form of healing and therapeutic landscape design. Using the example of the Philippe Pinel Psychiatric Hospital in Pezinok (Slovakia, Central Europe), we present a proposal for a green vegetation-scaping using the existing space, adding elements that highlight and support the therapeutic effect of the proposed space. The aim of the proposal is to create an environment that will bring positive changes for patients while serving as a relaxation space for employees.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the problem of forming an adaptive "therapeutic" environment for the system of maternity hospitals and perinatal centers that has developed in the country. This problem is considered in a comprehensive manner, highlighting several aspects, such as: socio-historical-cultural, functional planning, architectural-spatial, figurative-semantic aspect. On this basis, the study proposes several promising approaches to creating an adaptive therapeutic environment for maternity facilities using various architectural modernization tools and identifying a number of typological models of such an environment. The following approaches are presented: "urban planning approach", which takes into account the optimization of various options for urban planning placement of maternity hospitals and perinatal centers; “environmental approach”, which allows considering perinatal centers as a set of exterior and interior spaces, commensurate with a person, his behavioral stereotypes, emotional state. "Ecological approach" - involves the introduction of natural components into the interior and exterior of the complex, which makes the period of rehabilitation of women in labor effective. "Architectural and planning approach" - is aimed at improving the functional and planning links of the objects of the perinatal center. "Scenario-functional approach" in the formation of a comfortable therapeutic environment of a medical institution allows us to consider communications in the space of a medical institution as a kind of spatio-temporal scenario on the way of the main routes of movement inside the interiors and exteriors along the "axis": entrance area - admission department - lobby, hall, etc. .d. The "artistic-figurative approach" assumes that a "typical" ward in medical institutions should not be limited only by the technological and functional component, and the comfort of patients' stay should take into account their emotional state. The "compositional approach" to the formation of the therapeutic environment of maternity facilities takes into account the "competent" formation of the architectural space, taking into account the laws of architectural harmonization, aesthetic and compositional principles. The systematization of the identified approaches and directions for designing a comfortable architectural "therapeutic" environment for perinatal centers creates a methodological basis for the development of promising architectural and typological models of these objects, taking into account their modernization and new construction

Full textAbstract:
We describe a mixed qualitative and quantitative research study in a military facility regarding the role of nature in well-being. Study intervention included two 20-minute walks. One walk was in an intentionally designed woodland environment (Green Road) and the other was on a busy campus road in a medical treatment facility (Urban Road). Twelve volunteers from a military facility participated in both walks in a cross-over experimental design. The two walking sessions were randomly ordered and preceded by pre-walk instructions appropriate to each road’s characteristics and incorporated focused attention and present moment orientation. A semi-structured post-walk interview, the primary outcome, was conducted after the conclusion of each walk. Qualitative data analyses consisted of sentiments and themes by using NVivo 12 software. The Green Road was unanimously rated as positive (100%). Responses to Urban Road were evenly distributed among positive (33.3%), negative (33.3%), and neutral/mixed (33.3%) sentiments. The Green Road yielded predominantly positive themes such as enjoyment of nature, relaxation, and feelings of privacy and safety. Urban Road produced significantly more negative themes such as concerns for safety, dislike of noise and other noxious experiences. Quantitative assessment of distress and mindfulness with Distress Thermometer (DT) and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale-state version (MAAS) demonstrated that a walk on the Green Road significantly decreased distress and increased mindfulness compared to a walk on the Urban Road. We also observed that pre-walk instructions could direct attention to both obvious and subtle elements of experience and enhance awareness. Results support the notion that an intentional nature-based environment may produce significantly more positive experiences and result in health-promoting benefits in a military health-care setting compared to an urban environment. Future studies with clinical populations could advance our understanding of the healing value of nature-based interventions. The impact of intentional green environments may be enhanced by well-designed instructions for both recreational and therapeutic use.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Despite increasing attention toward forest therapy as an alternative medicine, very little evidence continues to be available on its therapeutic effects. Therefore, this study was focused on elucidating the health benefits of forest walking on cardiovascular reactivity.Methods. Within-group comparisons were used to examine the cardiovascular responses to walking in forest and urban environments. Forty-eight young adult males participated in the two-day field research. Changes in heart rate variability, heart rate, and blood pressure were measured to understand cardiovascular reactivity. Four different questionnaires were used to investigate the changes in psychological states after walking activities.Results. Forest walking significantly increased the values of ln(HF) and significantly decreased the values of ln(LF/HF) compared with the urban walking. Heart rate during forest walking was significantly lower than that in the control. Questionnaire results showed that negative mood states and anxiety levels decreased significantly by forest walking compared with urban walking.Conclusion. Walking in the forest environment may promote cardiovascular relaxation by facilitating the parasympathetic nervous system and by suppressing the sympathetic nervous system. In addition, forest therapy may be effective for reducing negative psychological symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
Urban gardening mainly means growing edible vegetables in a town. This practice has been traditionally used for economic reasons (subsistence agriculture), but now it has also acquired educational, nutraceutical, therapeutic and social relevance. The educational aspect of urban gardening has been the subject of a proposal for the newly born Science Shop in Florence (Italy). In the spirit of action-research, in our project we first decided to involve all (or many) potentially interested people. This has brought into light the galaxy of different aspects related to urban gardening and allowed the establishing of promising research lines. We discovered that this is a multi-disciplinary subject that touches themes dealing with agriculture, botany, psychology, chemistry, city planning and politics. We examine here the various aspects of urban gardening in the towns of Florence and Prato, two very different urban environments despite their proximity.

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health 17, no. 14 (July 10, 2020): 4968. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/ijerph17144968.
Full textAbstract:
The increasing reported incidents of knife crime in cities and the release on parole of “rehabilitated” violent criminals are creating an unsafe urban environment. Such occurrences suggest that measures taken to address psychopathic-oriented behaviour may have been ineffective because the individual’s degree of “moral deficit” is not fully accounted for in the application of specific therapies. This study developed a theoretical model of “moral deficit” that is aligned with the appropriateness of therapy, ranging from the extreme “classical approach” of total confinement justified by a belief in the incurability of psychopaths to the modern therapy that aims to reintegrate the psychopath with society using “moralizing therapy”. Analysis of secondary data from extant literature was used to develop the theoretical model of “moral deficit”. Secondary data analysis suggests that the extent of psychopathic “moral deficit” may be an important factor in the selection of appropriate therapeutic measures for psychopathy treatment and the rehabilitation of psychopaths as law-abiding members of society. We conclude that a specific type of psychopathic moral deficit may have an important bearing on the appropriateness of treatment. It is recommended that the treatment of psychopathy makes greater provision for the extent and type of psychopathic “moral deficit” in assessing the most appropriate applications for the treatment of psychopathy and promoting the safety of urban environments.

Full textAbstract:
While previous studies have documented the trials of rural-to-urban migration in postreform China, little is known of the consequences of urban demolition and attendant uncertainty on migrant mental health. Exploring the affective and subjective dimensions of life lived amidst rubble in a migrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Shanghai, this essay describes and analyzes smallscale practices of endurance through dynamics of time, place, and sociality. These modes of dwelling in a ruined environment are key to what the authors refer to as the management of subjectivity, producing moments of being that potentially enable to feel and act otherwise. Considering the management of subjectivity in its own right rather than as mere echoes of postsocialist governmentalities, the authors sustain a dialogue with recent writing on the production of happy and self-reliant marginalized subjects through the Chinese authorities’ turn to “therapeutic governance.”

Hong Kong’s compacted urban form brings about potential problems including mental illness. Meanwhile stressful life mainly originates from working pressure brought a lot of physical and mental problems for the people themselves and generating serious family and social problems. As more and more people start to aware mental health issue, the current mental health services system is no longer sustainable due to increasing number of patients. This thesis aims to excavate the potential for landscape to become element in healthcare delivery in the context of community as following: refine the definition of therapeutic landscape, define the scope of work, and identify components essential for therapeutic environment. Last but not least, dig out possible interpretation/physical form through set an example of a particular design introduce for a typical site.
Therapeutic landscape which introduce to community recreation system will become a new approach to backup mental health service system as well provide people more convenient and broad healthcare service to cultivate healthy personality. Thus promote community organic development to become a thoughtful and institutional environment.published_or_final_version

Abstract This book chapter seeks to answer questions from: research and evidence, developing a sustainable and desired future, health needs and aspirations, the role of natural landscapes. Premised on the chapters of this book, these guiding principles highlight the importance of natural landscapes to human and planetary health: (1) humans modify landscapes, or our surroundings, and there is a reciprocal influence between human health and landscape health (2) worldviews are not fixed and are influential in the ways societies interact with landscapes. Current dominant worldviews represent a small sliver of history; we can make other choices. (3) Human induced environmental devastation negatively influences wellbeing, especially among the most disenfranchised. Attending to relationships and reciprocity as well as feelings of loss and grief are part of the solution. (4) Healthy intact landscapes can promote wellbeing through restorative, preventive, and therapeutic mechanisms. (5) An extensive body of research exists, but further research and systematic investigation is needed to more fully understand the effects of interactions between humans and their landscapes. (6) Intentional practices and programs through education, recreation, socialisation, and lifestyle can help us develop healthy relationships with our landscapes. Ancient beneficial practices can be recovered and relearned. and (7) Intentional design choices can enhance the places where we live and work promoting the health benefits of nature in urban areas also supports human wellbeing.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing urbanization patterns have resulted in significant and serious environmental health concerns (e.g. caused by a lack of physical activity). Urban planners face the challenge of developing healthy, resilient, and sustainable urban environments. This chapter addresses this challenge from an urban landscape perspective, promoting a socioecological approach, and recognizing that landscapes are shaped in close interaction between nature and culture—with cities being an ultimate example of human shaping and impact. It provides examples of how urban landscapes have contributed to better public health, from urban agriculture and community gardening, to therapeutic settings and urban wildscapes. Landscape-related approaches such as green urbanism, urban resiliency, and biophilic urbanism are introduced and examples are offered of how cities have worked with these. Suggestions are provided for the planning and development of health-promoting urban landscapes.
