The effects of restoration and inspiration in the therapeutic landscape of natural environments on visitors during the COVID-19 pandemic have been well-documented. However, less attention has been paid to the heterogeneity of visitor perceptions of health and the potential impacts of experiences in wetland parks with green and blue spaces on visitors' overall perceived health. In this study, we investigate the impact of the restorative landscapes of wetland parks on visitors' health perceptions in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In our survey, 582 respondents participated in an online questionnaire. We analyzed the respondents' health perceptions in terms of latent class analysis, used multinomial logistic regression to determine the factors influencing the potential categorization of health perceptions, and used structural equation modeling to validate the relationships between health perceptions of different groups and landscape perceptions of wetland parks, restorative experiences, and personality optimistic tendencies.
The results identified three latent classes of health perceptions. Gender, marital status, education, occupation, income, distance, frequency of activities, and intensity of activities were significant predictors of potential classes of perceived health impacts among wetland park visitors.
This study revealed the nature and strength of the relationships between health perception and landscape perception, restorative experience, and dispositional optimism tendencies in wetland parks. These findings can be targeted not only to improve visitor health recovery but also to provide effective references and recommendations for wetland park design, planning, and management practices during and after an epidemic.
在 COVID-19 大流行期间，人们已经充分记录了恢复和激励在自然环境治疗景观中对访客的影响。然而，人们对访客对健康的感知的异质性以及湿地公园中绿色和蓝色空间的体验对访客整体感知健康的潜在影响关注较少。在这项研究中，我们调查了湿地公园恢复景观对访客健康感知的影响。
在我们的调查中，有 582 名受访者参与了在线问卷调查。我们从潜在类别分析的角度分析了受访者的健康感知，使用多项逻辑回归来确定影响健康感知潜在分类的因素，并使用结构方程模型来验证不同群体的健康感知与湿地公园景观感知、恢复体验和性格乐观倾向之间的关系。
研究结果确定了三种健康感知的潜在类别。性别、婚姻状况、教育程度、职业、收入、距离、活动频率和活动强度是湿地公园游客感知健康影响潜在类别的重要预测因素。
本研究揭示了湿地公园中健康感知与景观感知、恢复体验和性格乐观倾向之间关系的性质和强度。这些发现不仅可以针对改善访客的健康恢复，还可以为湿地公园的设计、规划和管理实践提供有效的参考和建议，无论是在疫情期间还是之后。
