現代人因學業、工作等生活壓力逐年上升，導致出現注意力不集中、精神疲勞等狀況。如何能夠降低人們的壓力、解決注意力疲勞等問題，為目前所面臨之議題。因此，如何在生活環境中找尋具有療癒效果之環境元素為一大關鍵。且已有許多研究顯示，自然環境得以對人們達成療癒效果，而生活周遭，可遠離城市喧囂，同時具有美質、藝術的環境元素為都市公共空間。
故本研究以大台北地區為研究地區，以都會公園與都市藝文特區作為目標場域，以大安森林公園與華山1914文化創意產業園區為代表，針對場所內造訪者進行問卷調查，探討其環境之景觀視覺元素帶給人們的療癒知覺與美質感受，並從而得知其療癒效果。研究結果顯示：
1. 景觀視覺元素的因子構成可以分成「戶外家具與鋪面」、「配置」、「建築物」、「人造元素」與「植物」共5項。
2. 景觀視覺元素能顯著影響景觀美質；景觀美質能顯著影響療癒環境感知；療癒環境感知能顯著影響療癒效果。
3. 景觀視覺元素中，對於景觀美質最有預測力的因子為「配置」，其次為「植物」。
4. 景觀視覺元素中，對於療癒效果最有預測力的因子為「配置」，其次為「植物」，值得一提的是「人造元素」則是具有負面影響力。
5. 造訪者的造訪頻率對於景觀視覺元素、景觀美質與療癒效果之影響最大。

Modern ways of living have made people suffer from stress, attention fatigue, and unhappiness. In architectural perspective, the key to the issue would be analysing elements in daily environment which have potential restorative effects. Many researchers realized that natural environment or aesthentic environment may lead to restoration. The place that has these potential in our city life would be the urban public space.
The research chose Taipei, the most populated city in Taiwan, as the target city, and chose an urban park and an art public space which could represent the natural environment or aesthentic environment in the urban area. The research analysed the visual elements of the place, and the aesthentic or restorative effects which the visitors had percieved. The results are shown as follows:
1. Landscape visual elements are perceived as “outdoor furniture and pavement”, “arrangement”, “building”, “artifact”, “plant”.
2. The perception of landscape visual elements can significantly affect landscape aesthentic value; the perception of landscape aesthentic value has significantly influence to perceived restorativeness; the perceived restorativeness can significantly reduce stress, fatigue, and gain positive emotions.
3. Among landscape visual elements, the “arrangement of the elements” has the most influence in aesthentic value and restorative effects, and “plants” comes second. The “industrial and artifact” visual elements have negative influence in restorative effects.
4. The frequency of visit would affect the visitor’s perception in landscape visual elements, aesthentic value, and restorative effects.
