In recent years, increasing attention has been given to the recovery effect of the forest environment on physical and mental health. Therefore, providing users with a high-quality forest landscape space is a very important research topic for forest landscape designers and forest resource managers.
From the perspective of different seasons, this study explores the differences in landscape perceptions and physical and mental recovery of users when they experience different forest recreation spaces and the interactions between them.
First, this study used virtual reality video experience and questionnaires for participants. Then, the paired-samples test, one-way ANOVA and the independent-samples t test were used for statistical analysis. Finally, we also used structural equation models to analyze the relationship between landscape perception and recovery.
(1) The restoration effect and perception of forest recreation spaces on people are influenced by space types and seasonal factors. (2) People's restoration from forest environments is a gradual process from spatial cognition to emotional response. (3) The perception of the natural attributes and form of the recreation space plays a key role in the restorative effect of the environment to people, while the natural form is more important in spring than autumn. Based on the above conclusions, we suggest that the characteristic factors of the landscape environment and their different restoration effects for users in different dimensions should be considered when planning forest recreation space.
近年来，人们越来越关注森林环境对身心健康的恢复作用。因此，为用户提供高质量的森林景观空间是森林景观设计师和森林资源管理者的一个非常重要的研究课题。
本研究从不同季节的角度出发，探讨了用户在体验不同森林游憩空间时景观感知和身心恢复的差异，以及它们之间的相互作用。
首先，本研究使用虚拟现实视频体验和问卷对参与者进行了调查。然后，采用配对样本 t 检验、单因素方差分析和独立样本 t 检验进行了统计分析。最后，我们还使用结构方程模型来分析景观感知与恢复之间的关系。
（1）森林游憩空间对人的恢复效果和感知受到空间类型和季节因素的影响。（2）人们从森林环境中得到的恢复是一个从空间认知到情感反应的渐进过程。（3）游憩空间的自然属性和形式感知对人的环境恢复效果起着关键作用，而自然形式在春季比秋季更为重要。基于上述结论，我们建议在规划森林游憩空间时，应考虑景观环境的特征因素及其在不同维度上对用户的不同恢复效果。
