PSYCHOLOGICAL, EMOTIONAL & PHYSICAL BENEFITS
 心理的、情緒的、肉体的効用

Individuals benefit from the experience of nature in cities in many ways. A walk in a green space, or simply a view into a nearby natural place supports a person in everyday life. Stress reduction and healing are possible results from nature experiences, and horticulture therapy activities can be used to achieve specific outcomes. Having plants in elderly care facilities can be of particular benefit.

個々の人間が都市の自然体験から得る効用にはさまざまなものがあります。緑のなかを歩いたり、単に近くの自然をながめるだけでも、私たちの日常生活は豊かなものになります。外からの刺激がストレスを和らげたり癒しの効果をもたらすこともあります。また、園芸療法は特別の効果を得るために用いられます。高齢者福祉施設に植物を導入することは、特別の効用もあり得ます。
