Design attributes for a land-based experience of healing -landscaped blue-way system

Abstract

This research addresses a research gap dealing with blue-ways and healing landscape. Mental health is the control point of human behaviors so there is a great need to draw the design process for the improvement of mental health.In a deep search to get new landscape design elements as a design for mental health strategy, the notion of blue-ways under the umbrella of healing landscape comes to light. This research discusses how to use the blue-way system as a tool to improve human mental health and achieve the blue mind effect using healing landscape design attributes and offers an applied framework for the land-based experience of a healing blue-way utilizing those attributes.
