Dynamics of street environmental features and emotional responses in urban areas: implications for public health and sustainable development
This study demonstrates the feasibility of predicting public emotional responses from street view images using machine learning. Optimizing green spaces and improving pedestrian environments can promote emotional health. To effectively balance the distribution of urban green spaces and maximize public health benefits, it is recommended that governments collaborate with communities, leveraging fiscal incentives and green infrastructure investments to promote equitable and sustainable development of green spaces. These findings play a crucial role in advancing both public health and environmental sustainability.
