Main Article Content
Abstract
Enhancing the affiliation with campus green spaces is an intervention of wellbeing promotion in an urban university campus, and beneficial outdoor experience may result from the concept of salutogenic landscape design where the sensory perception plays a vital role. Therefore, this paper aims to propose operative approaches for assessing sensory perception towards the implementation of salutogenic projects in campus green space. Two identified sites at two different faculties were selected as exploratory studies by focusing on the physical environment for defining influential variables to develop comprehensive research methods.
