Nature contact, nature connectedness and associations with health, wellbeing and pro-environmental behaviours (2020, background): “First, regarding the operationalisation of nature contact, existing theory and research tends to be underpinned by the assumption that exposure to greenspace is beneficial, regardless of the type of contact (Bell, Phoenix, Lovell, & Wheeler, 2014; Wheeler et al., 2015).”
Exploring pathways linking greenspace to health: Theoretical and methodological guidance (2017, background): “…within a neighbourhood: the feeling that the people in the neighbourhood know and respect each other, pose no danger and may help if needed (Forrest and Kearns, 2001; Kuo et al., 1998; Kuo and Sullivan, 2001a, 2001b; Kemperman and Timmermans, 2014; Holtan et al., 2015; Weinstein et al., 2015).”
