A Study on the Application of Public Design Law to the Components of Biophilic Cities

This study explores approaches for integrating biophilic design principles into public design within urban environments. The primary objective is to analyze the applicability of biophilic design in domestic urban settings and to derive effective design strategies and policy recommendations through comparisons with international cases. The research methodology combines literature review and case study analysis, examining academic papers, policy reports, legal frameworks, and design guidelines from both domestic and international sources. Real-world design cases were also analyzed with a focus on design elements, spatial arrangements, citizen participation, regulatory support, and ecological sustainability to assess their potential application in domestic contexts. The findings indicate that the application of biophilic principles to public design can contribute to citizens’ emotional well-being, the improvement of ecological environments, and the enhancement of urban space sustainability. This study provides foundational policy and design insights for systematically applying biophilic design in domestic urban environments and is expected to make a practical contribution to future urban planning and the advancement of public design.

Abstract

This study explores approaches for integrating biophilic design principles into public design within urban environments. The primary objective is to analyze the applicability of biophilic design in domestic urban settings and to derive effective design strategies and policy recommendations through comparisons with international cases. The research methodology combines literature review and case study analysis, examining academic papers, policy reports, legal frameworks, and design guidelines from both domestic and international sources. Real-world design cases were also analyzed with a focus on design elements, spatial arrangements, citizen participation, regulatory support, and ecological sustainability to assess their potential application in domestic contexts. The findings indicate that the application of biophilic principles to public design can contribute to citizens’ emotional well-being, the improvement of ecological environments, and the enhancement of urban space sustainability. This study provides foundational policy and design insights for systematically applying biophilic design in domestic urban environments and is expected to make a practical contribution to future urban planning and the advancement of public design.
