Abstract

Stress can be viewed in terms of the contribution of urbanization, lifestyle changes and the ameliorating potential of nature related environments. This study explored the influence of temperature and humidity of the mountain landscape environment on the physiological indices of individuals. 38 respondents formed a single within-group study sample. Measures of Physiological indices including blood pressure, pulse rate and respiratory rate as well as ambient environment conditions were carried out both at the urban and mountain landscape environments. Findings imply that temperature and humidity are aspects of the mountain landscape environment conditions that combine to influence human physiological wellbeing. Therefore, Individuals confronted with many sources of stress from daily engagements in urban environments can obtain short term relief in the mountain landscape environment.
