Journal of the Japanese Society of Revegetation Technology, 2004 緑化された屋上の景観要素の違いが，屋上利用者に及ぼす心理的効果を明らかにするために，屋上パノラマ画像を用いたSD法による景観評価実験を行った。因子分析の結果，緑化された屋上の景観評価構造として，心理的，眺望体感的，自然認知的，屋上認知的，および視覚的評価因子の5因子が解釈された。因子得点を用いて，屋上およびその周辺の景観要素の違いが，屋上利用者の心理的評価に及ぼす影響を調べた結果，屋上パノラマ画像に占める緑視の割合が増加(相関係数R=0.627，有意確率p=0.016)あるいは周辺建物の割合が減少(相関係数R=-0.707，有意確率p=0.005)するに従って，心理的評価が高くなった。

Legacy effects of redlining on the distribution of greenspaces in US cities
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.We investigated how a discriminatory housing policy—redlining—has shaped the spatial patterns and configurations of greenspaces throughout 177 cities in the contiguous US. Housing segregation has been a long‐term development practice that has sequestered communities of color to areas with elevated environmental and public health risks.
