Green space, blue space and mental health in an urban setting: A phenomenological study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective: Exposure to green space is correlated with positive mental health outcomes; however, there is a lack of qualitative studies focusing on experiences of this phenomenon. Therefore, the research objective was to examine individual’s experiences of mental restoration after spending time in urban parks. \nMethods: A phenomenological approach was used. Fifteen participants in Lethbridge, Alberta, were interviewed, all of whom used parks and believed it benefitted their mental health. \nResults: Analysis revealed four main themes highlighted by participants, including connections to nature, connections to community, connections to themselves, and built environment features. These themes may be important aspects of the experience of mental restoration and may factor in the relationship between green space and mental health. \nConclusion: The results support ongoing development of a variety of urban green spaces. Further, they suggest the need for more research into the complex relationship between green space and mental health and moderating factors.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
