Abstract

With the acceleration of urbanization, the quality of urban environment has gradually become a core factor affecting the quality of life of residents. As shown in Figs. 4, land use changes in Hong Kong over the past 20 years reflect this development trend, and urban greening, as an important part of the urban ecosystem, not only has the function of improving the ecological environment, but also plays a positive role in enhancing the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of the residents. However, the synergistic mechanism of visual and acoustic environments as important features of urban greening in enhancing well-being has not been fully explored. In this study, we quantify the visual and acoustic environmental features of urban greening through GIS technology (such as the accessibility analysis shown in Fig. 1 and 2), and construct an integrated model to systematically investigate the pathways through which these environmental features affect residents’ well-being. It is found that visual greening and acoustic environmental features have important synergistic effects in enhancing residents’ well-being, and future urban design and operation should fully integrate these two types of features to optimize the living environment and improve the quality of life.
