Abstract
With the rapid development of society and the increasing pressure on education, campus psychological issues have become more prominent. Previous studies have demonstrated the positive effects of natural environments on mental health. However, research on campus landscape environments has primarily focused on the impact of campus facilities on student health, neglecting the degree of openness of natural land-scape spaces. This study utilized virtual reality technology to simulate campus green landscape spaces with different degrees of openness and explored the influence of these different spaces on individual psychological recovery. The results indicate that the degree of openness of campus green spaces significantly affects people's prefer-ences and perceptions of psychological recovery. Additionally, people's preferences are influenced by serene, species, and natural elements. Therefore, promoting psycho-logical recovery among students can be facilitated by creating scenic viewing and rest areas in campus environments, introducing beloved natural elements, and creating semi-open landscape spaces.
