정원의 직접적 건강편익에 관한 최근 연구 동향 = A Systematic Review of Current Research on the Health Benefits of Garden Environment

국문 초록 (Abstract)

전 세계적으로 건강에 대한 관심도가 높아졌고, 자연에 대한 인간의 욕구가 커지면서 정원의 필요성이 더욱 증대되고 있다. 정원과 같은 자연환경은 인간에게 다양한 건강 편익을 제공해주며, 정원의 보건적 가치에 대한 재조명이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구는 정원이 사람에게 미치는 직접적인 영향을 조사함으로써 심리적, 생리적 편익과 그 중요성에 대해 논의하기 위해 진행되었다. 최근 20년 동안의 관련 연구를 분석하기 위해 다양한 키워드를 사용하여 Google Scholar와 PubMed 데이터베이스에서 검색을 진행하였고, 정원의 심리적, 생리적 효과에 대한 증거를 제시한 11건의 연구를 도출하였다. 논문의 타당성을 평가하기 위해 정량화 가능 등급을 부여하였으며, 연구 결과는 세 가지 범주로 구분하여 정원의 효과에 대해 상세히 검토하였다. 정원은 뇌의 기능과 혈압 유지에 긍정적으로 작용함으로써 생리적 스트레스를 줄여주고, 불안과 우울증 완화와 같은 심리적 상태를 개선하는 데 도움을 주었다. 이번 검토에서는 정원의 형태에 따라 인간의 건강에 미치는 영향 차이를 확인하였으며, 향후 정원과 관련한 구체적이고 다양한 연구가 이루어져야 함을 시사하고 있다.

The need for gardens is growing more and more as people's desire for nature grows around the world-wide interest in health. Natural environments such as gardens provide various health benefits to humans and are being reexamined for the health value of gardens. This study was conducted to discuss psychological and physiological benefits and their importance by investigating the direct impact of gardens on people. To analyze the relevant studies over the last 20 years, searches were conducted in Google Scholar and PubMed databases using various keywords, and 11 studies presented evidence of the psychological and physiological effects of the garden were derived. To evaluate the validity of the paper, quantifiable grade was assigned, and the research results were divided into three categories and the effect of the garden was reviewed in detail. The garden has helped reduce physiological stress and improve psychological conditions such as anxiety and depression relief by positively acting on brain function and blood pressure maintenance. The review identified differences in the impact on human health depending on the type of garden, suggesting that specific and diverse studies related to future gardens should be conducted.
