Although there is a robust body of literature exploring the relationship between biophilic urban planning (BUP) and public health and well-being, there is a dearth of scholarship on the emotional components of BUP. It is crucial to understand these sentiment-related elements, so planners can assign "human value" to green spaces as a strategy for emphasizing the need to thoughtfully implement and properly maintain them in urban environments. Furthermore, humans' emotional experiences with green spaces may also reveal hidden or unexpected functions of those spaces. To confirm this lack of emphasis on emotions in BUP, we used Scopus to conduct a bibliometric analysis on relevant literature published within the last twenty years (2001-2021), ultimately collecting 589 relevant peer-reviewed articles. We then utilized VOSviewer (Centre for Science and Technology Studies, Leiden University, The Netherlands) to visualize our results and identify thematic, geographic, authorship/co-authorship, publication, and temporal trends. "Green space" appeared as our most frequently occurring keyword and scholars affiliated with institutions located within the United States, the United Kingdom and China were the top producers of relevant results. Our authorship analysis resulted in 67 different clusters and three major but isolated networks. was the most prevalent source of publication and 2019-2021 was the most prolific period of activity to date. While the goal of our review is to underscore the dearth of controlled, interdisciplinary research on the emotional components of BUP, we also uncovered additional key gaps in scholarship that could promote future avenues of inquiry. First, by focusing on the emotional value of green spaces, practitioners can ascribe them an intangible "human value" that could, in turn, generate more community-focused designs that provide access across socioeconomic, racial and age brackets. Second, an increase in scholarly representation from developing countries could help address the "human value" of green spaces not simply as a "first-world" phenomenon. Finally, a global focus on the emotional, human connections to green spaces may help scholars and practitioners alike mitigate the growing trend of green gentrification.
尽管有大量文献探讨了亲生物城市规划（BUP）与公共健康和福祉之间的关系，但关于 BUP 的情感成分的学术研究却很少。了解这些与情感相关的元素至关重要，这样规划者才能将绿地的“人类价值”赋予给它们，作为强调在城市环境中深思熟虑地实施和妥善维护它们的必要性的一种策略。此外，人类对绿地的情感体验也可能揭示这些空间隐藏或意想不到的功能。为了证实 BUP 中对情感的重视不足，我们使用 Scopus 对过去 20 年（2001-2021 年）发表的相关文献进行了文献计量分析，最终收集了 589 篇相关同行评议文章。然后，我们使用 VOSviewer（荷兰莱顿大学科学技术研究中心）来可视化我们的结果，并确定主题、地理、作者/合著者、出版和时间趋势。“绿地”是我们最常出现的关键词，而来自美国、英国和中国的机构的学者是相关研究成果的主要生产者。我们的作者分析产生了 67 个不同的聚类和三个主要但孤立的网络。《Landscape and Urban Planning》是最常见的出版物来源，2019-2021 年是迄今为止最活跃的时期。虽然我们的综述旨在强调对 BUP 的情感成分进行控制和跨学科研究的不足，但我们也发现了学术研究中的其他一些关键差距，这些差距可以促进未来的研究途径。首先，通过关注绿地的情感价值，实践者可以赋予它们一种无形的“人类价值”，从而可以产生更多以社区为中心的设计，为不同社会经济、种族和年龄阶层提供机会。其次，发展中国家学术代表性的增加可以帮助解决绿地“人类价值”不仅仅是“第一世界”现象的问题。最后，全球关注绿色空间与人类的情感联系，可能有助于学者和实践者缓解绿色中产阶级化这一日益严重的趋势。
