There are many case studies which show that human psychology is affected by changes in visual stimulation, or by seeing a particular green landscape. This study aimed to clarify the effect of green landscape on stress reduction with a focus on medical aspects, by using various kinds of green landscape from an urban area as the materials and human physiological functions as a measurement of stress reduction. The results show that:The cortisol tests indicated that changes in stress reduction were smaller in the group of subjects shown photos with more green landscape compared to those shown photos with less green landscape, suggesting that green landscape keeps human physiological changes at a stable level. The results of the amylase tests, which used salivary amylase as an indicator of stress, suggest that viewing green landscape is likely to have short-term stress-reducing effects on people.Subjects with high blood pressure showed a reduction in blood pressure when shown images of lawn area or a field of lavender. However, the blood pressure of subjects with low blood pressure showed no changes. The density of the saliva was reduced when the subject was shown images of lawn area. Moreover, the impression evaluations of "Calm" and "Settled Down" were strong on the images of lawn area, as were the impression evaluations of "It was interesting" and "It is pungent" for the images of a field of lavender. When the results were analysed, it was determined that the lawn area was considered a place of "rest" and a field of lavender as a place of "Diversion of mind".

有许多案例研究表明，人类的心理受到视觉刺激的变化或看到特定的绿色景观的影响。本研究以城市各类绿色景观为材料，以人体生理功能为减压指标，从医学角度阐明绿色景观对减压的作用。结果表明：皮质醇测试表明，绿色景观较多的被试压力减轻的变化要小于绿色景观较少的被试，说明绿色景观使人的生理变化保持在一个稳定的水平。用唾液淀粉酶作为压力指标的淀粉酶测试结果表明，观看绿色景观可能对人们有短期的减压效果。当看到草坪或薰衣草的图片时，高血压患者的血压有所降低。然而，低血压受试者的血压没有变化。当受试者看到草坪区域的图像时，唾液的密度降低。此外，“平静”和“安定”对草坪区域的印象评价较强，“有趣”和“刺鼻”对薰衣草田的印象评价也较强。当分析结果时，确定草坪区域被认为是一个“休息”的地方，薰衣草田被认为是一个“转移注意力”的地方。
