Mousapour, B (2024) Assessment of biophilic design’s impact on citizens' residential satisfaction to enhance pro-environmental behavior. Architectural Engineering and Design Management, 20(4), pp. 761-775. ISSN 1745-2007
Abstract
Acknowledging biophilic design as a nature-based solution to compensate for the expansion of urbanization and human separation from nature that deteriorate citizens' satisfaction and responsible pro-environmental behaviors toward the environment are among the environmental planning’s principal goals. Therefore, the current study investigates the effects of Biophilic design dimensions on residential satisfaction to promote citizens' pro-environmental behavior. In order to evaluate the effects between Biophilic design, residential satisfaction, and pro-environmental behavior, SEM method was used. Obtained data from 380 questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS and Smart PLS, and the results demonstrated that the Biophilic design’s 'street' dimension has the greatest impact on residential satisfaction (β = 0.799) and citizens' pro-environmental behavior (β = 0.751). Additionally, residential satisfaction’s 'quality' dimension has the highest effect on pro-environmental behavior (β = 0.430). The outcomes provide a solution for policymakers and designers to enhance citizens' pro-environmental behaviors towards the environment through a sustainable solution.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
