About
My research explores the restorative potential of blue space soundscapes. While numerous studies have demonstrated the restorative effects of natural environments, most have focused on green spaces, with research on blue spaces emerging only recently. The unique restorative qualities of blue spaces have been discussed in frameworks such as Stress Recovery Theory (SRT) and Attention Restoration Theory (ART), yet they remain empirically underexplored.
As soundscape is a defining characteristic of blue spaces and has gained increasing attention in areas such as noise masking, psychological restoration, and biodiversity monitoring, this research focuses on understanding the restorative effects and underlying mechanisms of blue space soundscapes.
ResearchResearch interests
My research focuses on the restorative potential of blue space soundscapes and the mechanisms through which natural environments promote psychological restoration. I am particularly interested in how restorative experiences in nature can be integrated into modern living environments to help address issues such as stress, mental fatigue, and sleep disturbances.
