Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the impact of specific landscape elements on pedestrians’ emotional experiences during walking. During the study, footages were recorded by participants while walking to obtain real-time visual element data, including greenery, building and road visibility. And electroencephalogram (EEG) indicators of β/α, (α+θ)/β, θ/β and θ/α ratio were collected to represent levels of arousal, fatigue, attention and relaxation. Our findings suggested strong correlations between θ/α ratio with both greenery and road visibility. Conversely, other indicators were primarily influenced by greenery and building visibility. Regarding the combined impact of elements, the most positive emotions were observed when green visibility exceeded 51%. However, the peak alertness was achieved with building visibility between 5.2% and 31%. The lowest fatigue and the highest attention level were recorded under building visibility less than 5.2%, and the highest level of relaxation occurred with road visibility less than 10%. In terms of the influence of time, the entire walking process could be delineated by the five and 8 min marks, classified into novelty, adaptation and sustained phase based on the patterns of emotional changes observed in the participants. Consequently, the visual elements and their combinations, and duration play regulatory roles in pedestrians' emotional experiences.

利用脑电图研究景观序列对行人情绪状态的调节作用

本研究旨在调查特定景观元素对行人在步行过程中情绪体验的影响。在研究过程中，参与者一边行走一边录像，以获得实时视觉元素数据，包括绿化、建筑和道路能见度。同时还收集了脑电图（EEG）指标β/α、（α+θ）/β、θ/β和θ/α比值，以代表唤醒、疲劳、注意力和放松的水平。我们的研究结果表明，θ/α 比率与绿化和道路能见度都有很强的相关性。相反，其他指标则主要受绿化和建筑能见度的影响。就各要素的综合影响而言，当绿化能见度超过 51% 时，情绪最为积极。然而，当建筑物能见度在 5.2% 至 31% 之间时，警觉性达到最高。在建筑物能见度低于 5.2% 时，疲劳程度最低，注意力最集中，而在道路能见度低于 10% 时，放松程度最高。就时间的影响而言，整个步行过程可以以 5 分钟和 8 分钟为界，根据参与者的情绪变化模式分为新奇阶段、适应阶段和持续阶段。因此，视觉元素及其组合和持续时间对行人的情绪体验起着调节作用。

期刊介绍： Frontiers of Architectural Research is an international journal that publishes original research papers, review articles, and case studies to promote rapid communication and exchange among scholars, architects, and engineers. This journal introduces and reviews significant and pioneering achievements in the field of architecture research. Subject areas include the primary branches of architecture, such as architectural design and theory, architectural science and technology, urban planning, landscaping architecture, existing building renovation, and architectural heritage conservation. The journal encourages studies based on a rigorous scientific approach and state-of-the-art technology. All published papers reflect original research works and basic theories, models, computing, and design in architecture. High-quality papers addressing the social aspects of architecture are also welcome. This journal is strictly peer-reviewed and accepts only original manuscripts submitted in English.
