Emphasizing the Main Factors Involved between the Green Zones Created Near the Natural Salted Lakes or Springs and the Treatment of Some Nervous System Disorders

In recent years, more and more data has become available about the benefits of green in and around towns and cities. Vegetation helps people to recover faster from illness; this reduces costs of healthcare and improves the patients’ quality of life. This aspect of introducing vegetation in and around hospitals is increasingly becoming a topic of focus in connection with the concept of a ‘healthy environment’. Since the creation of the first people’s parks, urban planners have been aware of the fact that vegetation enhances the quality of life for townspeople. Green areas are places where people can go for recreation and physical exercise or simply to find some peace and quiet. This benefits their health and reduces the stress levels of the average city dweller. A positive correlation exists between the amount of green in a person’s living environment and that person’s sense of safety. In highly urbanized locations, the design of green elements requires special attention. Our paper presents a multidisciplinary study of areas located near the old salt mines and their recovery by entering in the spa and leisure circuit. Specific components were monitored, like the salted waters quality in lakes and/or springs and in the selection of different plant species adapted to high salinity of the soil. According to studies conducted in Europe, the environment plays a crucial role in physical, mental and social development of the population. In recent years, the continuous degradation of environmental quality due to factors such as air pollution, noise, chemical compounds and disappearance of natural areas, in combination with lifestyle changes led to the emergence of a growing number of diseases such as different forms of diabetes, cardiovascular and nervous system disorders and cancer.
