And I am mainly researching the effects on stress relief and quality of life of the use of green environments and relationships with greenery, such as agriculture and horticulture.

    In recent years, to facilitate communication and reduce stress in office workers, some companies have set up break rooms in their office. On the other hand, there are reports that greening of offices reduce stress in office workers and greening in the break room is considered to be effective for preventing stress. Regarding the greening of break rooms, effective verification of continuous use of these break rooms are necessary, but there are no studies on this so far. Thus, this study aims to understand the effects of resting in a break room with greening. We tried to measure the physical and phycological indicators of office workers over a long term. As a result, it was revealed that resting in greening break rooms improved negative emotions and the evaluation of work/workplace, indicating that resting in greening break rooms is useful for the office worker's phycological conditions.

Attractiveness of Research 【 display / non-display

  • There are many areas where the effects of green on the mind and body of humans have not yet been clarified. Green has been used as a measure against stress and for welfare, but we are aiming to further contribute to society by scientifically clarifying its effects. It is a relatively new field, and it is fun and fun to develop. Let's aim for a green world together!
