As community dwelling populations of older people and those living with chronic and life limiting conditions continue to grow, the role of everyday geographies, particularly of community based settings and activities, in supporting health and wellbeing has become a focus in both research and policy development. The therapeutic landscape scholarship provides a holistic view of how place promotes health and wellbeing, and has in recent years expanded its focus from reputable places of healing to everyday geographies. Based on a scoping review of 45 studies on everyday community based therapeutic landscapes, this paper identifies and critically examines the settings, populations and mechanisms of therapeutic experiences. It presents critical summaries of the scales and boundaries of landscapes; the diverse and dichotomous characteristics of places; the therapeutic benefits of proximal and distal socio-spatial interactions; the role of everyday settings and activities as sources of refuge, anchor and resonance and finally the broader social, cultural, political and economic contexts in which everyday therapeutic landscapes are embedded. In so doing the paper highlights the complex nature of everyday therapeutic landscape experiences and how this research can further inform the development of community based settings and activities that promote health and wellbeing. It also identifies areas for future research on everyday therapeutic landscapes.
随着老年人群体和患有慢性及生命有限疾病人群的不断增加，日常地理环境（尤其是社区环境和活动）在支持健康和幸福方面的作用，已成为研究和政策制定的焦点。治疗性景观研究提供了一个整体的视角，说明环境如何促进健康和幸福，近年来，其研究重点已经从著名的疗养地扩展到了日常地理环境。本文通过对 45 项关于日常社区治疗性景观的研究进行范围综述，确定并批判性地考察了治疗体验的环境、人群和机制。本文对景观的尺度和边界、场所的多样化和二分特征、近程和远程社会空间相互作用的治疗效益、日常环境和活动作为避难所、锚点和共鸣的来源，以及日常治疗性景观所处的更广泛的社会、文化、政治和经济背景进行了批判性总结。通过这样做，本文突出了日常治疗性景观体验的复杂性，以及这项研究如何进一步为促进健康和幸福的社区环境和活动的发展提供信息。本文还确定了日常治疗性景观研究的未来方向。
