庭園と建築の配置や構成は相互の関係性の中で決められている。幾何学式庭園においても建物から庭園の中央を貫く軸線を通すことでビスタを形成し、その軸線を中心に左右対称に構成するところに特徴があり、対植はその典型である。この対植のような軸線両側の樹木は視点を軸線に向け易くするとされているが、それを実証的に示した既往研究は見られない。本研究は、千葉県松戸市の千葉大学園芸学部校内のフランス式庭園の西端に植栽されたイタリアンサイプレスの対植を対象に、幾何学式庭園における対植がその視知覚にどのような影響をもたらすかについて実験的に検討するものである。

Five million years has passed since a subset of primates recognizably became human. Because we have already spent more than 99.99% of our evolutionary history in natural environments, it is thought that we are essentially adaptive to nature. However, we live in a society characterized by urbanization and artificiality, despite our physiological functions still being adapted to nature. We conducted experiments involving 420 subjects at 35 different forests throughout Japan. As a result, these subjects sitting in natural surroundings showed decreases in the following physiological indices compared with the urban control group: 12.4% decrease in cortisol level, 7.0% decrease in sympathetic nervous activity, 1.4% decrease in systolic blood pressure, and 5.8% decrease in heart rate. This shows that stressful states can be relieved by forest therapy. It should also be noted that parasympathetic nerve activity increased by 55.0%, indicating a relaxed state. The results of walking experiments were also similar. Li et al. demonstrated that immune functions are enhanced by forest therapy. Middle-aged employees volunteered to participate in these experiments. NK (natural killer cells) activity, as an indicator of immune function, increased by 56% on the second day and returned to normal levels. A significant increase of 23% was maintained for 1 month even after these subjects returned to urban life, clearly illustrating the preventive medical effects of nature therapy. We expect nature therapy to play an increasingly important role in preventive medicine in the future.

This study aims at clarifying the physiological relaxing effect which pink rose brings about for 55 high school students. The stimulation was made by 30 pink roses with non-scent arranged in a vase while the control had no flower for 4 minutes. The physiological indices were the heart rate variability and pulse rate which employed fingertip accelerated plethysmography, and the psychological indicators were the SD method and the shortened version of profile of mood states (POMS). The results as follow: (1) HF were significantly higher, and LF/HF were significantly lower, (2) "comfortable", "natural", and "relaxed" feelings and the mood state were significantly better, while viewing fresh rose flowers than control.

The effects of pair planting of Italian Cypress on the visual characteristics of geometric garden are discussed with the analysis of eye movements of 16 subjects. The distribution of eye fixation and eye movement speed inspecting French Garden from its east end are compared before and after the planting of pair trees which locate symmetrically at the western extension of east and west axe of the garden. The center of eye point distribution tends to concentrate on the central area including flower base after the planting of pair tree. And, the number of eye movement in the upper part of central area significantly increased in the male subjects. Contrarily, the number of eye movement in the lower part of central area significantly increased in the female subjects. Therefore, the characteristics of eye movement mentioned above are considered to indicate that the pair planting has a visual effect to conceive the axe of geometric garden.

Objectives: In the present study, we aimed to clarify the psychological effects of shinrin-yoku (taking in the atmosphere of the forest) by conducting field experiments. Methods: The experiments were conducted in 19 forested and urban areas in Japan during the 2007–2010 period. Twelve male students participated at each of the 19 areas (a total of 228 persons). Subjective ratings of “comfortable-uncomfortable”, “soothing-stimulating”, and “natural-artificial” feelings were conducted after each of the participants had viewed the scenery for 15 min in the forested and urban areas. A postviewing questionnaire on “stressed-refreshed” feelings was also administered and the Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaire was employed to assess six aspects of mood before and after viewing the sceneries. Results: The forest environments were perceived as significantly more “comfortable”, “soothing”, and “natural” than the urban environments after viewing the sceneries. The score for “refreshed feeling” was also significantly higher in the forested areas. The score for the “vigor” subscale of POMS was significantly higher after viewing the scenery in the forested areas, whereas the scores for negative feelings such as “tension-anxiety”, “depression-dejection”, “anger-hostility”, “fatigue”, and “confusion” significantly decreased. Conclusion: Collectively, these results suggest that the forest environments have significant beneficial and relaxing effects on human’s moods compared with the urban environments.
