“…Spaces are required to not only reduce negative impacts on comfort, health, and productivity but also to support the activities of users and to produce enjoyment and health in their inhabitants. Occupant-centric [2,9], participatory [12,19], regenerative [20,21], salutogenic [12,22,23], and biophilic [24,25] design approaches represent substantial cornerstones of the search for a "flourishing" built environment [13]. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals [26] require the sustainability debate to be elevated to include aspects related to social and environmental justice [27] alongside climate change and resource concerns [20].…”

The focus of the building industry and research is shifting from delivering satisfactory spaces to going beyond what is merely acceptable with a wave of new research and practice dedicated to exploring how the built environment can support task performance and enhance people’s health and well-being. The present study addresses the role of acoustics in this paradigm shift. Indoor soundscape research has recently emerged as an approach that brings a perceptual perspective on building and room acoustics in order to shape built environments that “sound good” according to building occupants’ preference and needs. This paper establishes an initial discussion over some of the open questions in this field of research that is still in an embryonic stage. A thematic analysis of structured interviews with a panel of experts offered a range of perspectives on the characterization, management, and design of indoor soundscapes and health-related outcomes. The discussion pointed out the importance of both perceptual and multisensory research and integrated participatory design practices to enable a holistic view regarding the complex building–user interrelations and the design of just cities. Soundscape methodologies tailored to the peculiarities of indoor soundscapes can help to measure and predict the human perceptual response to the acoustic stimuli in context, thus reducing the risk of mismatches between expected and real building experiences. This perceptual perspective is expected to widen the scientific evidence for the negative and positive impacts of the acoustic environment on human health, well-being, and quality of life. This will support prioritizing the role of acoustics in building design and challenge many current design practices that are based on a noise control approach.

“…Ecotherapeutic activities are examined within two categories: working in nature and experiencing nature. Working in nature includes various athletic activities defined as the green and blue gym [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], the most significant of which is walking [23][24][25][26][30][31][32][33][34][35]. Apart from athletics, this group comprises activities such as meditation/therapy [23,25,28,33,34,36,37], art [28,38,39], and production in/with nature (frequently gardening and horticulture) [36,38].…”

Experiencing nature involves spending time observing and listening in nature [23,26,[28][29][30]32,36,38]. Activities from both groups can be conducted in natural areas to obtain ecotherapy services, and an understanding of these activities allows designers to provide proper facilities or places to citizens in these areas.…”

“…The benefits of therapeutic environments on human psychology comprise two categories: (1) mental and emotional benefits and (2) advancement in self-placement and perception. The most prominent mental and emotional benefits are relaxation [24,26,27,36,51], improvement in attention [24,28,30,34,39,41,48,52], concentration [26,31,34,53], and mood [23,26,29,34,48,51], and declines in stress [23,24,26,[28][29][30][31]33,34,36,43,48,51,52], anxiety, depression [25,28,30,33,39,48], and anger [39,41]; better self-esteem is the most prominent manifestation of advancement in self-placement and perception [25][26]…”

The impacts of problems related to dense, unplanned, and irregular urbanization on the natural environment, urban areas, and humankind have been discussed in many disciplines for decades. Because of the circular relationship between humans and their environment, human health and psychology have become both agents and patients in interactions with nature. The field of ecopsychology investigates within this reciprocal context the relationship between human psychology and ecological issues and the roles of human psychology and society in environmental problems based on deteriorated nature–human relationships in urbanized areas. This approach has given rise to ecotherapy, which takes a systemic approach to repairing this disturbed nature–human relationship. This study aims to uncover the relationship between the physical attributes of urban green areas and their potential for providing ecotherapy service to users, first by determining the characteristics of ecotherapeutic urban space and urban green areas given in studies in the ecopsychology and ecotherapy literature, and then by conducting a case study in two urban parks from the Beylikdüzü District of the Istanbul Metropolitan Area. The impacts of these parks’ changing physical characteristics on user experiences are determined through a comparison of their physical attributes and the user experiences related to their ecotherapy services.

“…Çoğunlukla kullanıcı ihtiyaçları veya estetik amaçlarla inşa edilen donatıların ve malzemelerinin önemi, incelenen çalışmalardan üçünde tanımlamıştır. Bunlar mobilya ve döşeme malzemelerinin doğallığı (Bagot vd., 2015;Schebella vd., 2017); ahşap ve taş işleri (Abdelaal & Soebarto, 2019); parkurlar, egzersiz ekipmanları ve yüzme havuzları gibi sportif elemanlar; sanat eserleri ve genel anlamda bu donatıların bakımı (Schebella vd., 2017) gibi konulardır (Tablo 5). Yapılan değerlendirmelere bakıldığında donatıların malzemelerine ve bakımına ve özellikle sportif aktiviteleri arttırıcı donatılara ağırlık verildiği görülmektedir.…”

Öz Günümüz kentlerinde sanayileşme, nüfus artışı, göç, gelişmişlik düzeyi, ulusal politikalar gibi çeşitli faktörler doğrultusunda gerçekleşen yoğun, planlanmamış ve çarpık kentleşmeye bağlı pek çok sorun görülmektedir. Bu sorunların çevresel kaynaklar, kent mekanı ve kentin yaratıcı ve yürütücü unsuru insan üzerinde neden olduğu etkiler on yıllardır pek çok disiplinde tartışılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla insan ve çevre arasındaki karşılıklı ve kuvvetli etkileşim, insanın bedensel ve psikolojik sağlığını, kentsel tasarımda ele alınması kaçınılmaz konulardan biri yapmaktadır. Özellikle çevre psikolojisi alanında yer bulan insan psikolojisi ve çevre arasındaki ilişki, kentsel sorunlar konusuyla ilgili olarak ekopsikoloji yaklaşımında karşılık bulmaktadır (Rozsak, 1992). İnsan ve doğa arasında yeniden kurulacak bağın çevresel sorunların çözümündeki rolüne dikkat çeken yaklaşım, bu bağın kurulabilmesi için ise bireylerin doğal alanlarda vakit geçirmesi ile elde ettikleri ekoterapi hizmetinin gerekliliğinden bahsetmektedir. Bu gereklilik doğrultusunda bu çalışma, kentin ekoterapi hizmeti sağlayan fonksiyonları ve özelliklerinin araştırılmasını amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla ekopsikoloji ve ekoterapi konu başlıklarında sistematik literatür taraması gerçekleştirilmiş, ulaşılan 37 makale içerisinde terapötik mekânların türleri, özellikleri, faydaları ve terapötik aktiviteler incelenmiştir. İncelenen 4 eksen dâhilinde anahtar kelimeler halinde çekilerek gruplanan tanımlar söylem analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Belirlenen fayda, tür, özellik ve aktivitelerin mekânının niteliklerini belirleme konusundaki en önemli araçlardan olan kentsel tasarım süreçlerine sunabileceği katkılar ve dâhil olabileceği aşamalar tartışılmıştır.
