Progress in Research on Nature Exposure and Children's Physical and Mental Development
There is a correlation between the natural exposure and physical and mental health,and nature deficit disorder has become an important factor affecting children's development.This study investigates the impact of nature exposure on children's physical and mental development,as well as the specific contexts and specific effects of natural environments to improve children's health,to provide evidence support for the development of nature education.Literature published from 2002 to 2023 in WoS was collected,and CiteSpace software was used to visualize and analyze the literature in the WoS core collection,and then 118 pieces of literature were selected for full-text evaluation to summarize the latest progress in this field of research.The conclu-sions include:(1)Research is centered on the three aspects of"sensation-cognition-disease",and natural contact can alleviate the negative impacts of urban life,which is beneficial to the physical and mental development of children.(2)The number of studies has shown a rapid growth,and the number of articles published in China is second only to that of the United States,and there are close exchanges and collaborations among countries,institutions,and scholars.(3)The former disciplinary paradigm of"medicine+X"has been formed,and a"nature-health"knowledge system has been constructed.In the future,efforts should be made to break down disciplinary barriers and increase the rate of translation of academic research results.At the same time,the research needs to be combined with more practical problems in China,expanding the research methods and paths to provide a solid theoretical foundation for the landscape architecture industry in nature education.
