Abstract

The article delves into the multifaceted effects of waterscapes on human well-being, highlighting the importance of waterscape features such as distance, type, and movement of water. It presents a novel approach by using videos to simulate real-world landscapes, allowing for a dynamic and immersive evaluation of visitors' experiences. The study also considers the influence of demographic factors, such as gender and living environment, on visitors' perceptions of waterscapes. By addressing the gaps in existing literature, this research offers valuable insights for landscape architects and urban planners aiming to optimize waterscape designs for mental restoration, preference, and safety.
