Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the world order from the beginning of 2020 to the end of 2022. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on changes in healthy living practices, such as decreased physical exercise and increased stress, compromising psychological well-being. The psychological impacts of walking and relaxing in urban green spaces on IPB University students are investigated in this study. Bogor City Alun-Alun, Sempur Park, and Heulang Park were used for the experiment. Participants completed 15 minutes of walking and relaxed sitting before and after the experiment, and the psychological impacts were assessed using Profiles of Mood States (POMS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and WHO Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) before and after the experiment. The results indicate that physical activity improves psychological wellness. These findings give scientific evidence for the psychologically relaxing effects of walking and relaxed sitting, as well as recommendations to support the development and construction of therapeutic urban green spaces.

大流行后在城市绿地散步和放松坐姿的心理影响:以印度尼西亚茂物市为例

从2020年初到2022年底，新冠肺炎疫情扰乱了世界秩序。COVID-19大流行对健康生活方式的改变产生了重大影响，例如体育锻炼减少和压力增加，损害了心理健康。本研究探讨了在城市绿地散步和放松对IPB大学生心理的影响。实验使用了茂物城Alun-Alun、森普尔公园和鹤朗公园。参与者在实验前后完成15分钟的步行和放松坐姿，并在实验前后使用情绪状态谱(POMS)、状态-特质焦虑量表(STAI)和WHO生活质量量表(WHOQOL-BREF)评估心理影响。结果表明，体育锻炼可以改善心理健康。这些发现为步行和放松坐姿的心理放松效果提供了科学依据，并为支持治疗性城市绿地的开发和建设提供了建议。
