The use of green infrastructure (GI) has been established as a way to alleviate stress and the COVID-19 pandemic has placed a new emphasis on the importance of GI as both a coping mechanism and a source of recreation. This scoping review seeks to address whether the COVID-19 pandemic affected the use of GI, specifically the ways in which the pandemic altered visitation patterns and the frequency of the use of GI. This review identifies studies that explore the relationship between the COVID-19 pandemic and GI use and assesses whether the pandemic has altered the use of GI, including whether GI use increased, decreased, or remained the same and examines potential changes in visitation structure as well as other effects studied. This review also discusses how future planning for GI can consider the lessons learned from the pandemic. Key findings suggest that GI use increased, as did visitors' appreciation for GI and its benefits. The use of local GI to one's home also increased in importance. Decreases in visitation were typically a result of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions and fear of viral transmission within GI.
绿色基础设施（GI）的使用已被确立为缓解压力的一种方式，而新冠疫情又重新强调了GI作为应对机制和休闲娱乐来源的重要性。本范围综述旨在探讨新冠疫情是否影响了GI的使用，特别是疫情改变人们参观模式和GI使用频率的方式。本综述确定了探索新冠疫情与GI使用之间关系的研究，并评估疫情是否改变了GI的使用情况，包括GI的使用是增加、减少还是保持不变，同时考察参观结构的潜在变化以及所研究的其他影响。本综述还讨论了GI未来规划如何能够借鉴从疫情中吸取的经验教训。主要研究结果表明，GI的使用有所增加，游客对GI及其益处的欣赏程度也有所提高。靠近自家的本地GI的使用重要性也有所增加。参观人数减少通常是新冠疫情封锁限制以及对GI内病毒传播的担忧所致。
