Exploring Individuals’ Well-being Visiting Urban and Peri-Urban Green Areas: A Quantile Regression Approach

摘要: Environmental conditions affect the individuals’ quality of life as well physical, psychological and social well-being. Green areas play a key role in improving well-being perceived by citizens urban contexts. The direct indirect experience with nature helps to reduce psychophysical stress, induces positive emotions, facilitates renewal cognitive resources. An example this is represented Pinus pinea L.

These pinewoods were originally diffused Mediterranean region produce wood, pine kernels for alimentary purposes - coastal protect dunes agricultural territories. However, land use change urbanization modified their principal functions: while productive function has been gradually reduced, they become important elements landscape contributing human wide range cultural services. With increasing interest green space promote health, it interesting analyze if what extent different natural settings, restoration components influence disentangling effect on physical benefits. aim paper explore variables well- being. A quantile regression approach was used data analysis. This allows us understand happens throughout entire distribution reported visitors and, particular, at its extremes. Our results show that selected covariates both dependent variable between subjective
