As the pace of urban life accelerates, an increasing number of people fall into a sub-healthy state. In response, there is a growing desire among individuals to enhance life satisfaction and well-being by reconnecting with natural environments. Against this backdrop, urban parks have become popular destinations for recreational activities, providing opportunities for relaxation. Natural soundscapes, as critical ecosystem services, exert positive effects on physical and mental health. This study analyzed 446 survey responses using SPSS 25.0 and Mplus 8.0 to explore how soundscape perception related to the well-being of elderly recreational visitors in urban parks. The results were as follows: Firstly, there was a positive correlation between the soundscape perception of elderly recreational visitors and their well-being. Secondly, place attachment acted as a mediator in the relationship between soundscape perception and well-being for these elderly visitors. Thirdly, restorative perception also played a mediating role in this relationship. Fourthly, place attachment and restorative perception jointly played a serial mediating role in the association between the soundscape perception and well-being of elderly recreational visitors. Finally, leisure involvement moderated the relationship between soundscape perception and the well-being of elderly recreational visitors. These findings contribute to ecosystem services and public health theories, while providing practical guidance for enhancing elderly visitors' health and well-being.
随着城市生活节奏的加快，越来越多的人处于亚健康状态。对此，人们越来越渴望通过与自然环境重新建立联系来提高生活满意度和幸福感。在此背景下，城市公园已成为热门的休闲活动场所，提供了放松的机会。自然声景作为关键的生态系统服务，对身心健康具有积极影响。本研究使用SPSS 25.0和Mplus 8.0分析了446份调查问卷，以探讨声景感知与城市公园老年休闲游客幸福感之间的关系。结果如下：首先，老年休闲游客的声景感知与他们的幸福感之间存在正相关。其次，场所依恋在这些老年游客的声景感知与幸福感之间的关系中起到了中介作用。第三，恢复性感知在这种关系中也起到了中介作用。第四，场所依恋和恢复性感知在老年休闲游客的声景感知与幸福感之间的关联中共同起到了序列中介作用。最后，休闲参与调节了老年休闲游客的声景感知与幸福感之间的关系。这些发现为生态系统服务和公共卫生理论做出了贡献，同时为提高老年游客的健康和幸福感提供了实践指导。
