Abstract:Improving the research on public behavioral intentions regarding urban special green spaces is of great significance for optimizing urban green space planning and protecting urban plant ecosystems. This study is grounded in the Stimulus - Organism - Response (SOR) model. Taking the Special Botanical Garden in Fuzhou Sanjiangkou as the empirical research area, this study delves deeply into the internal mechanism underlying the relationships among the public's landscape perceived naturalness, restorative experience, and behavioral intention. The results demonstrate that the perceived naturalness of landscapes, which includes the perception of natural forms, spaces, and attributes, has a significantly positive impact on restorative experience. Restorative experience consists of four dimensions: remoteness, extensibility, charm, and compatibility, which exerts a significantly positive influence on behavioral intention. Landscape perceived naturalness indirectly affects behavioural intention through restorative experience, which acts as a mediating variable. Based on these findings, strategies are proposed for enhancing the design of landscape naturalness, optimizing the planning of restorative experience.
