“…The lower Arousal images depict a flat sea with small, even waves, consistent with the notion that "still waters create feelings of calmness and tranquility." [26]. In addition to the rougher seas, high arousal also appears to correlate with a stronger and more vibrant dawn light, with greater contrast accentuating the clouds.…”

“…A series of laboratory experiments testing the impacts of natural settings on tranquility found that large waterscapes are positively correlated with tranquility [13]. According to a survey of 100 people conducted in Turkey, natural and almost-natural water views, together with a wide water surface, create a sense of tranquility [46]. Designers should prioritize the integration of water elements, such as fountains, ponds, or small streams, as they provide visual and auditory cues that enhance the tranquil experience irrespective of the time of day.…”

Tranquility is typically associated with low noise levels and remote natural areas. Various methods for preserving potentially tranquil places have been proposed, although these typically involve setting aside places with low noise levels located in remote areas. To gain the benefits of tranquility in accessible urban areas, we need to identify the characteristics of tranquil spaces. This study focuses on the landscape-based, visual aspects of the phenomena. We investigated the role of visual context using a nationwide dataset of crowdsourced photographs from Sweden. Text mining identified personal perception and accompanying photographs identified the physical features. The photographs were characterized by time period and landscape conditions using computer vision technology. We found that waterbodies consistently enhanced tranquil views, while grass, flowers, and other dense vegetation were generally not well connected. Trees were positively correlated during daylight hours but had a negative impact at night. Dynamic objects such as people and vehicles were negatively associated, potentially due to aural considerations. Their effect was less significant during hours when noise would generally be less of a factor. This study provides insights for future research and design practices aimed at promoting tranquil experiences in urban environments and demonstrates the potential for crowdsourced data to help understand the qualities of built environments as perceived by the public.

“…On the other hand, the significance of water in shaping people's perception of nature is underscored. When combined with natural water features such as grassy embankments, they have been found to contribute to a sense of tranquility and encourage enjoyable activities like contemplation or sitting down to observe, aligning with people's preferences for nature experiences [80,81]. The broad water body of Hutuo River, earning widespread acclaim from citizens, provides an enhanced panoramic view.…”

River corridors, recognized as “blue–green infrastructure,” have become a crucial support system for urban sustainability in contemporary urbanized societies. Understanding the factors influencing the recreational experience along urban river corridors is paramount for enhancing visitors’ health and well-being. This study focuses on the Hutuo River Corridor in Shijiazhuang, China, collecting 3006 valid reviews from Dianping, a prominent review platform. We developed a text-based thematic model and conducted content analysis using this dataset. The main social (visiting time, duration of stay, motivation, safety, and visitors’ types and activities) and physical (natural elements, artificial facilities, maintenance and management, accessibility, distance, models of transportation, weather, and seasons) factors associated with recreational experiences were identified. We assessed visitor perceptions of urban river corridors and elucidated facilitators or barriers through textual content analysis in reviews. The results indicate the feasibility of employing social media data to study visitors’ recreational experiences along urban river corridors. This comprehensive exploration from a qualitative ecological perspective contributes valuable insights for urban planning and management. Moreover, the findings hold significant implications for understanding the usage patterns of river corridors in China and potentially in other countries.
