| summary |
Urban morphology significantly impacts resident's wellbeing. This study examines the impact of urban environments on the sense of wellbeing, using virtual reality as a research tool. Participants were presented with simulated pedestrian movement through 24 virtual urban environments. The environments differed by density level, vegetation, and commercial activity. Participants assessed each alternative through structured questionnaires. The relationship between the participants' feelings and densification levels, vegetation, and commercial activity was analyzed. Densification levels independently predicted participant's wellbeing. An increase in density levels predicted a decrease in the participants' sense of belonging and wellbeing. At all levels of density, the presence of commercial activity predicted a higher sense of belonging.Density, vegetation and commercial activity had a significant impact on the participants' wellbeing. Extreme densification had a negative effect on the participants' feelings; but vegetation and commercial activity, especially at high-density levels, improved this feeling. |
