Abstract

The purpose of this study was to quantitatively examine the physiological and psychological effects of a waterscape facility in an interior landscape space. Data were collected as participants under stress relaxed in either an interior space with greenery(Type G) or an interior space with a waterscape facility(Type W). The participants relaxing in the Type W space showed significantly decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressures, and an impression evaluation by the SD method indicated that their impressions were expressed in more positive terms, such as 'vigor', 'dynamism', 'pleasantness', and 'vitality'; when compared to participants relaxing in the Type G space. A POMS analysis showed waterscape elements influenced participants' psychological mood states by decreasing tension and fatigue, but increasing vitality. Introduction of waterscape facilities into interior landscape spaces could therefore provide stressed individuals with health benefits, including decreased blood pressure and positively changed psychological mood states.

본 연구의 목적은 실내조경공간에서의 수경시설의 도입이 이용자의 심리 및 생리에 미치는 효과를 정량적으로 분석하는 것이었다. 실험을 위해 실내에 식물로 구성된 조경공간과 수경시설이 추가된 조경공간을 조성하였다. 피험자에게 스트레스를 부여하고, 각각의 공간에서 휴식을 취하게 한 뒤 생리 및 심리적 변화를 비교한 결과, 수경시설이 설치된 조경공간에서 휴식을 취했을 때가 수축기 확장기 혈압이 유의하게 낮아졌다. SD법에 의한 의미평가에서도 수경시설이 설치된 공간이 '활기'와 '동적임', '생명력'과 '유쾌함' 등과 같은 긍정적인 의미를 주는 것으로 나타났으며, POMS(Profile of Mood States)에서는 수경요소가 심리적으로 피로 감소 및 활력 증강에 기여하였다. 이를 통해 실내조경에서 수경시설의 도입은 혈압 감소라는 생리적 변화에 기여하며, 심리 및 기분변화에도 긍정적인 효과를 보임으로써 건강에 편익을 주는 것으로 나타났다.
