The fast-growing trend of urbanizations and the dwellers' stressful lifestyle in megacities has led to several drawbacks from the mental health perspective. Provided that there is a significant association between the green environment and mental health, we investigated different functions of a green roof from two perspectives of well-being and environment.
After investigating on different functions of the green roof and classifying them into two sections, a self questionnaire survey was conducted in May 2020 on 100 citizens of the Seoul metropolitan area after, South Korea visiting the green roof. They were asked to clarify their perception of the different functions of green roof gardens. The statistical analysis was performed to show the differences in perception and how each variable can contribute to such differences.
The results illustrated a high satisfaction rate among the visitors of green roofs. The perception of the well-being functions was higher than those of environmental functions. However, age group can alter the perception significantly, as the senior citizens significantly perceived the well-being functions. In contrast, the awareness of the environmental functions was higher among the younger participants.
Providing practical information about the ideal functions of green roofs, this study offered helpful insight for the planners who focus on society's general health and work in two different sections: developing the city landscape and mental health improvement.
城市化的快速发展趋势以及大城市居民紧张的生活方式，从心理健康角度来看产生了诸多弊端。鉴于绿色环境与心理健康之间存在显著关联，我们从福祉和环境两个角度研究了绿色屋顶的不同功能。
在对绿色屋顶的不同功能进行调查并将其分为两个部分后，2020年5月对韩国首尔大都市区的100名市民进行了问卷调查，这些市民参观过绿色屋顶。他们被要求阐明对绿色屋顶花园不同功能的看法。进行统计分析以显示看法上的差异以及每个变量如何导致这些差异。
结果表明绿色屋顶的参观者满意度很高。对福祉功能的认知高于对环境功能的认知。然而，年龄组会显著改变这种认知，因为老年人对福祉功能的认知明显更高。相比之下，年轻参与者对环境功能的认知更高。
本研究提供了关于绿色屋顶理想功能的实用信息，为关注社会总体健康并在两个不同领域工作的规划者提供了有益的见解：发展城市景观和改善心理健康。
