This study aimed to explore the amenable factors contributing to the improvement in subjective well-being (SWB) immediately after a short-term visit to an urban park in an uncontrolled condition. Ninety-four park visitors from three urban parks completed a short questionnaire evaluating SWB (with two components: affect and life satisfaction) immediately before and after their park visit. In addition, their level of physical activity was tracked by wearing an accelerometer during the park visit. Results indicated a significant improvement in SWB, affect, and life satisfaction scores of park visitor participants from before and after their visit. Duration of park visit was bivariately associated with SWB scores, and independently associated with the improvement in life satisfaction scores, controlling for parks and age, after the visit; a 20.5-min park visit predicted the highest overall accuracy (64%) improvement in life satisfaction. It is recommended that design of the park space should attract visitors to stay for at least 20 min in the park.
本研究旨在探索在无控制条件下短期访问城市公园后主观幸福感（SWB）立即改善的可归因因素。94 名来自三个城市公园的公园游客在公园访问前后完成了一份简短的问卷，评估 SWB（由两个组成部分：情感和生活满意度）。此外，他们在公园访问期间通过佩戴加速度计来跟踪他们的身体活动水平。结果表明，公园游客的 SWB、情感和生活满意度得分在访问前后均有显著提高。公园访问时间与 SWB 得分呈双变量相关，并且在访问后控制公园和年龄的情况下，与生活满意度得分的提高独立相关；公园访问 20.5 分钟可预测生活满意度的总体改善最高（64%）。建议公园空间的设计应吸引游客在公园内停留至少 20 分钟。
