With the growth of urbanization and the increasingly hectic pace of life, exposure to urban nature within blue-green infrastructure is greatly impacting human health and well-being. Biophilia, an evolutional concept, conveys the initial connection between humans and nature; biophilic design transfers into design attributes to indicate the relationship between humans and the environment. A significant advantage of experiencing nature is positive restoration; however, only limited research has been conducted on connecting biophilic design and mental health. This study adopted our perceived biophilic design items (PBDi) to examine the relationship between landscape preferences and emotional states in urban green spaces. Online surveys (valid total n = 477) examining these biophilic items, landscape preferences, and emotional states were conducted. Seven aspects—(1) evolved human–nature relationships, (2) place-based relationships, (3) visual aesthetic quality, (4) state of natural change, (5) environmental perception, (6) sense of compatibility in the built environment, and (7) natural form of design method —were confirmed through exploratory factor analysis (EFA), with 64.35 % of the cumulative variance, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated good convergent validity and discriminant validity. The overall perceived biophilic design scale (PBDs) with 28 items had a Cronbach’s α of 0.91. In addition, it was found that PBDs significantly explained landscape preferences and positive emotional states within urban nature. The findings provide an alternative tool for measuring human biophilic perceptions that influence environmental experiences. In addition, each item in the scale could be used as a biophilic guideline for designers and planners to reinterpret nature in cities and to enhance our connection to nature in general.

随着城市化的发展和日益忙碌的生活节奏，在蓝绿色基础设施中接触城市自然正在极大地影响人类的健康和福祉。Biophilia，一个进化的概念，传达了人类与自然之间最初的联系；亲生物设计转化为设计属性，以表明人类与环境之间的关系。体验自然的一个显着优势是积极的恢复；然而，只有有限的研究将亲生物设计与心理健康联系起来。本研究采用我们感知的亲生物设计项目 (PBDi) 来检查城市绿地中景观偏好与情绪状态之间的关系。在线调查（有效总数n = 477) 对这些亲生物项目、景观偏好和情绪状态进行了检查。七个方面——（1）进化的人与自然的关系，（2）基于地方的关系，（3）视觉审美质量，（4）自然变化的状态，（5）环境感知，（6）建筑的相容性环境，以及（7）设计方法的自然形式——通过探索性因子分析 (EFA)，累积方差为 64.35%，验证性因子分析 (CFA) 显示出良好的收敛效度和区分效度。包含 28 个项目的整体感知亲生物设计量表 (PBD) 的 Cronbach's α 为 0.91。此外，发现 PBD 显着解释了城市自然中的景观偏好和积极的情绪状态。这些发现为测量影响环境体验的人类亲生物感知提供了一种替代工具。此外，量表中的每个项目都可以用作设计师和规划师重新诠释城市自然并加强我们与自然的联系的亲生物指南。
