Demographic Groups’ Differences in Restorative Perception of Urban Public Spaces in COVID-19
The health-promoting functions of one’s spatial environment have been widely recognized. Facing the huge loss of mental resources caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, visiting and perception of urban public spaces with restorative potential should be encouraged. However perceived, restorativeness differs from individual features. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has considerable effects on residents’ leisure travel and psychological states. Therefore, the aim of our research is to identify the demographic variables influencing restorative perception of typical urban public spaces under the social background of the COVID-19 pandemic. The research consists of 841 residents’ restorative evaluation of four kinds of urban public spaces according to the Chinese version of the Perceived Restorativeness Scale, including urban green spaces, exhibition spaces, commercial spaces and sports spaces. Then, 10 individual factors were recorded which represented their demographic features and the influence of COVID-19. Then, the relationship between individual features and perceived restoration of different urban public spaces was analyzed, respectively, by using One-way ANOVA and regression analysis. The results show that the urban green spaces were ranked as the most restorative, followed by commercial spaces, sports spaces and exhibition spaces. Further, the findings indicate that significant factors affect the restoration of four typical urban public spaces.
