Research on the effects that relationships with plants and green environments have on human health

Graduate School of Landscape Design and Management

I am doing research on how psychological health, physical health, and social health of people are affected by growing plants and spending time in an environment surrounded by plants.

I did research on the effects that green spaces created in medical and welfare facilities have on users, employees, and regional citizens, and on their roles during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Attention has been directed at how interactions with green spaces and plants during the COVID-19 pandemic have affected human health, and I will be investigating how to utilize green spaces, including for preventing health problems.
