Abstract:Blue spaces have important potential in relieving mental stress and restoring psychological health. This paper selects coastal blue spaces in Haikou, obtains the spatial characteristics and public mental health restorative evaluation data through semantic segmentation image processing, site evaluation, questionnaire survey and other methods, and explores the restorative evaluation of different blue spaces as well as the influence effect of spatial characteristic factors on the restorative environment. The results show that the restorative effect of waterfront space is better when plants, water bodies and other spatial natural elements are abundant, and when spatial characteristics such as resting facilities are complete. Meanwhile, blue vision rate, plant richness and resting facilities have significant effects on the restorative effect of tropical coastal blue space. Based on the research results, optimisation strategies are proposed to optimize the configuration of tropical coastal spatial elements, improve the quality of blue space in tropical city, and adjust the spatial layout of restorative environment.
