While recreation involvement has been linked to human health, few studies have examined the role of recreation involvement in shaping users’ restorative experiences. To address this research gap, we conducted two empirical studies to test the hypothesis that recreation involvement may be an important pathway through which park environments affect individual restorative effects. Study 1 used a repeated-measures approach to investigate how recreation involvement moderates the effects of different urban park landscape types on physiological, emotional, and subjective recovery experiences. Study 2 collected survey data from urban park users to examine the mediating role of recreation involvement in the relationship between landscape elements and restorative effects. The results indicate that recreation involvement moderates the relationship between landscape types and subjective recovery. A high level of recreation involvement enhances personal subjective recovery in waterfront and open lawn spaces. Moreover, recreation involvement also partially mediates the effect of plants on subjective recovery, while fully mediating the effects of water and facilities on subjective recovery. Demographic and park visit characteristics moderated these relationships. Our study highlights the significant role of recreation involvement in enhancing the restorative effects of urban park environments. Future urban park design should prioritize the interaction between plants, water, facilities and recreation experiences, while focusing on the quality of these landscape features in rationality, naturalness and comfort, especially in open lawns and waterfront areas. This helps to improve the subjective recovery experience and overall well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49394,"journal":{"name":"Urban Forestry & Urban Greening","volume":"117 ","pages":"Article 129253"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145885844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings reveal that the excessive reliance on online street view imagery has introduced spatial biases in assessing urban GVI status. Methodological inconsistencies undermine data validity, such as inconsistent sampling intervals, image types, and image acquisition times. While technical improvements have introduced evolving variants, terms tend to reflect semantic fragmentation rather than conceptual renovation. The interchangeable use of similar expressions leading to terminological inconsistency and ineffective literature retrieval has become a prominent issue. To improve conceptual clarity and support cross-study synthesis, we propose aligning image types with objective, visible, and visual GVI concepts and advocate for transparent reporting at each methodological step. Future efforts are necessary to conduct GVI studies for multiple cities and climates, improve species' seasonal identification, and advance GVI measurement across diverse green space types.

Multiple regression analyses showed that after controlling for baseline scores, several predictive factors uniquely explained an additional 14.9 % of the variance in positive affective states, 2.2 % in negative affective states, and 11.6 % in subjective vitality. In conclusion, hands-on participation in an urban afforestation program appears to favorably influence affective states and subjective vitality in healthy adults.

To drive this change, new measures of success are required that quantify the fundamental resources needed to support more complex ecosystems. This requires a significant step beyond existing canopy-focused ‘urban forestry’ metrics. Here we propose a metric that can quantify streetscape support for biodiversity as a composite index, incorporating measures of vegetation structure, diversity, nativeness and connectivity. We conduct a trial scoring of these components in five diverse residential streetscapes, enabling calculation of an ‘everyday nature’ index for each street. Even as a prototype, the metric’s results encourage attention to important fundamentals of urban biodiversity, in a way that sets it apart from existing urban greening metrics. Future development is required for the metric to be operationalised, with our trial of the method identifying a series of frontiers which will require a significant program of research. Once validated the metric should be able to be used in 'everyday nature’ benchmarking of streets and neighbourhoods.

Green infrastructure, which integrates natural processes into spatial design, has emerged as a promising strategy to enhance buildings’ climate adaptability and reduce carbon footprints. Unlike conventional landscape elements, building-integrated green infrastructure (e.g., green roofs, vertical greening, urban green belts) performs multifunctional roles such as thermal regulation, stormwater management, shading, and ecological interaction. Its integration is evolving from superficial embellishment to embedded design logic, enabling synergies between architectural form, energy performance, and environmental benefits. However, systematic understanding of its emission reduction mechanisms, performance variation under different climatic and operational conditions, and cost-effectiveness remains limited. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the spatial integration models, thermal and carbon-reducing mechanisms, and quantitative evaluation methods. This review introduces a structural-integration-based classification of GI by embedding depth (roof, façade, site, material) and proposes a dual-path carbon reduction framework linking direct and indirect mechanisms. It also identifies key influencing factors and outlines future directions for transforming green infrastructure into actively regulated, cross-scale ecological systems.
