城市绿地对人类健康和福祉的积极益处得到了广泛认可。虽然许多智力上的努力已经进入识别和编目的地方，空间和景观的环境特征与特定的健康结果，较少了解的是社会层面，通过这些绿色空间的日常参与的框架和付诸实践，以及这些层面之间的相互作用。本文报告了在英国邓迪两个地区进行民族志研究的初步结果。我们使用移动的和参与式的视觉方法与绿地用户，以调查他们的日常经验和参与当地绿地，并了解如何与使用相关的意义转化（或不）为福祉的好处。研究发现，绿色空间的体验-以及通过参与产生的任何福祉-不可避免地具有社会性，并通过人们在特定社会群体中的定位来调节。此外，社会背景或社会秩序不是一种，而是多种，因此意义存在争议。这促使人们更加关注如何以对不同的人和群体有意义的方式提供绿地带来的福祉。我们的结论是，社会关系和社会健康（以及个人的心理和身体健康）需要更彻底地探讨有关绿地及其管理实践。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The positive benefits of urban greenspaces for human health and well-being are widely recognised. While much intellectual effort has gone into identifying and cataloguing the environmental characteristics of places, spaces and landscapes associated with particular health outcomes, less well understood are the social dimensions through which everyday engagements with such greenspaces are framed and put into practice, and interactions between these dimensions. This article reports on preliminary findings from ethnographic research in two areas of Dundee, UK. We used mobile and participatory visual methods with greenspace users in order to investigate their everyday experiences and engagements with local greenspaces, and to understand how meanings associated with use translate (or not) into well-being benefits. The research found that experiences of greenspace - and thus any well-being benefits produced through engagement - are inescapably social and mediated through people's positioning in relation to particular social groups. Moreover there is not one social context or social order, but many, and hence meanings are contested. This prompts for more attention to be paid to how well-being from greenspace can be delivered in ways meaningful to different people and groups. We conclude that social relations and social health (as well as individual mental and physical health) need to be more thoroughly explored in relation to greenspace and its management practices.
