4 S. Gatting How the environment & health are related HOW THE ENVIRONMENT & HEALTH ARE RELATED
5 How the environment & health are related Promote Protective factors Risk factors Promote Should ENHANCE Health promotion Should DECREASE Prevention Source: Own diagramme, with ideas from Antonovsky (1997), Bauer & Bittlingmayer (2016), BZgA (2009), Hurrelmann, Laaser & Richter (2016)
6 S. Gatting Psychological effects of urban nature THE PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF URBAN NATURE
7 Psychological effects of urban nature PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF URBAN NATURE Improved concentration & performance Short-, medium- & long-term effects Nature & individual factors: spending time in a natural environment looking at the green from a window looking at pictures of natural scenery Consequences Keeping up & restoring sick less often not as tired increased productivity Berman et al. (2008); Berto (2005); Bringslimark et al. (2007); Fjeld (2000); Frumkin (2003); Harting et al. (2003); Kaplan (2001); Matsuoka (2010); Tennessen & Cimprich (1995)
8 Psychological effects of urban nature PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF URBAN NATURE Improved well-being Greater satisfaction with the environment at home & at work This influences one s satisfaction with life The general well-being is improved Positive correlations with decreased domestic violence greater satisfaction with the job decreased likelihood of quitting the job Amérigo & Aragonés (1997) Aries et al. (2010) Bonaiuto et al. (1999) Kaplan (2001) Kuo & Sullivan (2001) Kweon et al. (2007) Leather et al. (1998)
9 Psychological effects of urban nature PSYCHOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF URBAN NATURE Faster rate of healing Healing after surgery? View from the patient s room / Plants in the room Green environment: a significantly lower need for painkillers improved well-being shorter stay in hospital Park (2006) Ulrich (1984)
10 Physical effects of urban nature 5 6 S. Gatting PHYSICAL EFFECTS OF URBAN NATURE
11 Physical effects of urban nature 5 6 Physical effects of urban nature Looking at 24 diseases / illnesses Persons not living near a green area exhibited significantly more cardiovascular diseases diseases of airways musculo-skeletal disorders psychosomatic disorders psychological & psychiatric disorders Maas et al. (2009)
12 Physical effects of urban nature 5 6 Physical effects of urban nature There is a significant correlation between increasing biodiversity & a decreasing number of people suffering from allergies Hanski et al. (2012) There is a potential for synergies between health & nature protection An important point with greening urban areas: Only a few plant species are responsible for about 90% of all pollen allergies
13 Physical effects of urban nature 5 6 Physical effects of urban nature Risks due to the climate change: Stress from extreme heat Impact on morbidity & mortality Groups at risk: older people people working or exercising in the open heat-sensitive individuals Urban green & blue areas: contribute to cooling the immediate environment (microclimate) potentially decrease air & noise pollution constitute a resource for lowering the burden of disease (BoD)
14 Physical effects of urban nature 5 6 Physical effects of urban nature Regular moderate physical activity promotes good health The health effects are many are specific to the various stages of life can be demonstrated throughout a person s life Green areas are hubs for walking & exercising The role of different landscape elements & characteristics as well as conditions are specific to different population groups
15 Quantification & economic assessment 6 QUANTIFICATION & ECONOMIC ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF URBAN NATURE FOR HUMAN HEALTH S. Gatting
16 Conclusions & recommendations CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS FOR HEALTH-PROMOTING URBAN DEVELOPMENT S. Gatting
17 Conclusions & recommendations Urban green areas have a positive impact on human health & are an increasingly important topic in urban development Supporting urban nature as a way to maintain & promote health is a responsibility of the communities in particular Planning & implementation measures should include interdisciplinary cooperation consider health aspects from the start include the local residents early on take into account needs specific to population groups & local inequalities consider & further develop existing quality criteria a need for more research
