近年来，世界范围内城市化速度的加快突出了为城市居民的休闲和娱乐活动创造更多绿色空间的迫切必要性。然而，人类对不同植被的城市行道树的心理反应尚未得到充分的探讨。本研究探讨了在城市道路上沿着短距离步行后的心理状态（情绪、焦虑、恢复结果和主观活力）。364名参与者参观了四种类型的城市道路：选择建筑物集中的道路作为控制道路，以及樱花，伦敦平面和水杉树分别包围的三条道路。采用情绪状态量表、状态-特质焦虑量表、恢复性结局量表和主观活力量表来确定参与者的心理反应。利用生理等效温度对所选道路的热舒适性进行评价。结果显示，在水杉、樱花或伦敦梧桐环绕的城市道路上沿着散步，与对照道路相比，显著降低了紧张、疲劳、困惑和焦虑等负面心理状态。此外，参与者在沿着水杉和樱花路行走后的恢复结果和活力更高。此外，没有显着差异的心理反应，以不同的道路之间的男性和女性的参与者。热适应和心理参数强烈影响着室外空间中人体的热舒适水平。我们的研究结果提供了重要的见解，利用城市行道树作为缓解压力和促进城市居民健康的资源。
In recent years, the worldwide accelerated rate of urbanization has highlighted the critical necessity of creating more green spaces for the leisure and recreation activities of urban residents. Nevertheless, the human psychological responses to urban roadside trees with different vegetation have not been fully explored. This study investigates the psychological states (mood, anxiety, restorative outcomes and subjective vitality) after short walks along different urban roads. Three-hundred and sixty-four participants visited four types of urban road: a road where buildings are concentrated was selected as a control road, and three roads surrounded by Sakura, London plane, and Metasequoia trees respectively. The Profile of Mood States, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Restorative Outcomes, and Subjective Vitality Scales were used to determine the participants' psychological responses. The physiologically equivalent temperature was utilized to assess the thermal comfort conditions of the selected roads. The results reveal that a short walk along urban roads surrounded by Metasequoia or Sakura or London plane trees respectively significantly reduced the negative psychological states of tension, fatigue, confusion, and anxiety compared to the control road. Additionally, the participants' restorative outcome and vitality were higher after walking along the Metasequoia and Sakura roads. Moreover, no significant differences in the psychological responses to the different roads were detected between male and female participants. Thermal adaptation and psychological parameters strongly affect human thermal comfort levels in outdoor spaces. Our results offer essential insights on the use of urban roadside trees as a resource for mitigating stress and promoting health in urban dwellers.
