Exploring the effects of colleges green spaces (CGSs) exposure on mental health of students from a space–time path perspective
Previous studies focused more on the impact of the actual greenspace exposure (e.g., quantity or area) but ignored the different usage and perceived exposure in the varying daily life paths of different groups, which may affect the accuracy of the results on the health effects of greenspace exposure. This study first established multiple space–time paths through the investigation of college students’ daily activity paths to analyze the spatio-temporal exposure of college green spaces (CGSs) and the usage characteristics of college students. Then the relationship between CGSs exposure and college students’ mental health, as well as the mediating effect of overall satisfaction were explored by constructing indicators in actual and perceived dimensions through self-health reports. The results showed significantly different effects on mental health of both the actual and perceived CGSs exposure in different paths. Among which the actual exposure was negatively correlated with mental health, while perceived exposure presented positive correlations in daily paths. The usage characteristics of CGSs also had different effects on mental health at varying gender, grade and colleges. The overall CGSs satisfaction plays obvious mediating effects of daily paths exposure on mental health. This study contributes to the international literature on health impact mechanism of green space exposure from the perspective of space–time paths by considering college students’ daily activity of life and study. Accurate identification of the unreasonable CGSs exposure for mental health of college students could provide valuable suggestions for the construction and management of healthy campus.
期刊介绍:
The ultimate aim of Ecological Indicators is to integrate the monitoring and assessment of ecological and environmental indicators with management practices. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the applied scientific development and review of traditional indicator approaches as well as for theoretical, modelling and quantitative applications such as index development. Research into the following areas will be published.
• All aspects of ecological and environmental indicators and indices.
• New indicators, and new approaches and methods for indicator development, testing and use.
• Development and modelling of indices, e.g. application of indicator suites across multiple scales and resources.
• Analysis and research of resource, system- and scale-specific indicators.
• Methods for integration of social and other valuation metrics for the production of scientifically rigorous and politically-relevant assessments using indicator-based monitoring and assessment programs.
• How research indicators can be transformed into direct application for management purposes.
• Broader assessment objectives and methods, e.g. biodiversity, biological integrity, and sustainability, through the use of indicators.
• Resource-specific indicators such as landscape, agroecosystems, forests, wetlands, etc.
