摘要

由於現代生活壓力攀升,有93%的臺灣女性感到壓力,而都市綠地對於都市居民的可及性相對較高,可提供維持身心健康的好處。本研究同時納入女性、景觀元素、感知感官維度,並以焦慮程度為中介變項,綜合探討對環境感知與壓力恢復之相互影響關係,發現女性至公園綠地大多從事散步與紓解壓力,停留時間約1~2小時,可利用適當的花卉、水體、建築與文化元素創造空間品質,為女性創造庇護且具有相容性的景觀,並主要透過情境焦慮進而緩解女性情感與認知的壓力。再者透過偏最小平方多群組分析發現雖然在職業別與年齡別無差異性,但皆能緩解認知維度的壓力,研究之結果可供性別主流化之社會正義與環境永續之都市綠地規劃與設計重要之參考。

Due to the increasing demands of modern life, 93% of Taiwanese women report feeling stressed. Urban green spaces offer an accessible and effective means of supporting both the physical and the mental health of urban residents. This study explored how specific landscape elements of green urban spaces influence the perceived sensory dimensions of women, considering anxiety as a mediating factor to explore comprehensively the mutual influence between perceived and actual stress restoration. Using a structured questionnaire to gather information from 385 female participants at the Taipei Botanical Gardens, the study found that women utilize parks and green spaces primarily for walking and stress relief, typically remaining in these environments for one to two hours. Features, such as appropriate flowers, water, architecture, and cultural elements enhance space quality and create a sheltered and compatible landscape for women. Through the mediating influence of trait anxiety, the emotional and cognitive pressure of women can be relieved. Furthermore, through Partial Least Squares Multi-Group Analysis (PLS-MGA), although the study found no difference between occupation and age, both were shown to alleviate the pressure on cognitive dimensions. These results offer critical insight into urban green space planning and design to promote gender mainstreaming, social justice, and environmental sustainability.
