Safe driving depends on drivers’ ability to rapidly and accurately process information in varying traffic conditions. The presence of central green landscapes on roads is a key factor in this context. However, there is a gap in current research, which tends to focus on qualitative aspects of landscape design while lacking quantitative data-driven analyses. In this study, we aim to address this gap by investigating the impact of road central greening configuration on the eye movements of young novice drivers, a population particularly sensitive to external environmental changes. Specifically, we explore the influence of central green landscapes on four visual parameters: driver gaze, saccade, blinking, and pupil behavior. Through real vehicle experiments conducted on different road sections, we collected visual feature data to comprehensively analyze the patterns of driver eye movements. Our findings reveal that the introduction of central green landscapes can exert cognitive pressure on drivers, leading to specific alterations in their visual parameters. These changes include dispersed gaze points, reduced effective gaze durations, increased gaze frequencies, extended saccade durations and angles, heightened blink durations and frequencies, and reduced pupil area. By shedding light on the intricate interplay between road central greenery and driver behavior, this study provides valuable insights for optimizing landscape design in transportation planning and enhancing road safety considerations.

Restorative environments have a positive impact on improving the physical and mental health of the elderly. In China, the proportion of elderly residents in aging urban communities is significantly higher than in newly constructed ones, making it essential to understand the restorative potential of public open spaces (POSs) in these settings to promote the development of aging-in-place models. To investigate this issue, we employed the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to construct an evaluation system for the restorative potential of public open spaces. Subsequently, we assessed the restorative effects of POSs in the Dabeizhuang community using 320 residents’ questionnaires and the fuzzy comprehension evaluation method. The results indicate that the dimension of safety is the most critical factor in creating restorative environments. In contrast, the dimension of comfort is the primary reason affecting the current evaluation of the community’s restorative environment. By establishing a restorative environment evaluation system, this research will facilitate the creation of more restorative environments in urban areas, thereby promoting active and healthy aging among elderly residents.

Amidst rapid societal changes and increasing urbanization, human connectivity with nature has declined, exacerbating public health concerns. This study assesses the efficacy of Shinrin-yoku, or ‘forest bathing’, in Wuyishan National Park as a simple and effective method to counteract the adverse health effects of contemporary lifestyles. Employing repeated-measures analysis of variance, forty-one participants were observed over three days across eight distinct forest settings. Techniques included eye-tracking for visual attention and soundscape perception assessments via questionnaires. Physiological responses were gauged through heart rate variability and skin conductance, while psychological evaluations utilized the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Findings revealed that (1) natural soundscapes—especially birdsong, flowing water, wind, and bamboo raft sounds—and visual elements, such as distant mountains, streams, trees, Danxia landforms, tea gardens, and bamboo views, play pivotal roles in regulating heart rate variability, reducing arousal, and enhancing stress adaptation. Additionally, cultural landscapes, such as classical music and ancient structures, bolster parasympathetic activity. (2) Natural and cultural auditory stimuli, including flowing water and classical music, coupled with visual features, such as Danxia landforms, streams, distant mountains, lawns, and guide signs, effectively induce positive mood states, regulate mood disturbances, and enhance psychological well-being across diverse forest settings. These findings underscore the significant health benefits of immersive natural experiences and advocate for integrating forest-based wellness programs into public health strategies, offering compelling evidence for enriching life quality through nature engagement.
