Abstract A growing body of research suggests blue spaces (oceans and freshwater) can be restorative environments and that sound can influence a restorative experience. This study uses a random cross-over field experiment to compare the perceived restorative outcomes from a coastal and urban walk (n = 63) and measures the impact sound (quality, level, type) might have on a participant’s restorative experience. Self-reported sound (quality, level, type) explained most of the variation in perceived restoration between the two environments. This study builds on previous findings by providing experimental evidence that blue spaces can be restorative environments and that sound may influence a restorative experience. The findings suggest that blue spaces should be more fully accounted for in restorative environment studies, especially given the large number of people that live by or travel to coastal environments for recreational and leisurely enjoyment.

沿海步行的恢复潜力和声音的影响

摘要 越来越多的研究表明蓝色空间（海洋和淡水）可以是恢复性环境，而声音可以影响恢复性体验。本研究使用随机交叉现场实验来比较沿海和城市步行（n = 63）的感知恢复结果，并测量声音（质量、水平、类型）可能对参与者的恢复体验产生的影响。自我报告的声音（质量、级别、类型）解释了两种环境之间感知恢复的大部分差异。本研究以之前的研究结果为基础，提供了实验证据，证明蓝色空间可以是恢复性环境，而声音可能会影响恢复性体验。研究结果表明，在恢复性环境研究中应该更充分地考虑蓝色空间，
