最近的研究表明，沿海环境可以促进人类健康和福祉。本文探讨了英格兰西南部两个城镇的居民在日常生活中为促进和保护个人福祉而寻求的各种沿海体验。它借鉴了2013年5月至11月进行的一项深入解释性研究的结果，该研究审查了不同的绿色和蓝色空间体验在整个生命过程中对个人福祉的相对贡献。使用加速度计和全球定位系统（GPS）数据制作的个性化活动地图用于指导33名参与者的有目的样本的深入地理叙事访谈。这与九个案例研究的一个子集相结合，在参与者自己认为有治疗作用的地方进行访谈，从而更深入地了解这些地方的生活经历和关系。本文探讨了象征性的、以成就为导向的、沉浸式的和社会性的体验如何有助于参与者在当地沿海地区的幸福感。与会者表示，与当地海岸线的联系特别紧密，而且往往是持久的，不同的海岸线被认为是在多个规模和强度上满足不同的治疗需求和兴趣。调查结果表明，需要在国家和国际的沿海管理政策和实践中更多地承认人们与沿海地区的情感联系，这种联系是深刻的，而且往往是共同的。重要的是，这些努力应该认识到这种陆地-海洋边界的流动性和动态性，以及与这种流动性相关的宝贵的治疗经验。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Recent research suggests coastal environments may promote human health and wellbeing. This article explores the diverse coastal experiences sought out by residents of two towns in south west England to promote and preserve their personal wellbeing in the context of their everyday lives. It draws on the findings of an in-depth interpretive study conducted from May to November 2013 that examined the relative contribution of varied green and blue space experiences to individual wellbeing through the life course. Personalised activity maps produced using accelerometer and Global Positioning System (GPS) data were used to guide in-depth geo-narrative interviews with a purposive sample of 33 participants. This was combined with a subset of nine case study go-along interviews in places deemed therapeutic by the participants themselves, offering deeper insight into the lived experiences and relationships playing out within such places. Situated in a novel adaptation of the therapeutic landscapes framework, this article explores how symbolic, achievement-oriented, immersive and social experiences contributed to participants' sense of wellbeing in their local coastal areas. Participants expressed particularly strong and often enduring connections to the local coastline, with different coastal stretches perceived to cater for varied therapeutic needs and interests, at multiple scales and intensities. The findings suggest the need for greater acknowledgement of people's emotional, deeply embodied and often shared connections to the coast within coastal management policy and practice, both nationally and internationally. Importantly, such efforts should recognise the fluid, dynamic nature of this land-sea boundary, and the valued therapeutic experiences linked to this fluidity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.
