• Preference for Nature in Urbanized Societies: Stress, Restoration, and the Pursuit of Sustainability (2007, background): “For example, some natural environments may not well serve restoration because they are perceived as dangerous (Herzog & Kutzli, 2002; Van den Berg & Ter Heijne, 2005), while some urban environments may well support restoration because, in addition to possessing some degree of restorative quality,…”
• Enclosure and Safety in Urbanscapes (2005, background): “Herzog and Chernick (2000) found a correlation of –.72 between openness and danger for 48 urban and nature scenes, and Herzog and Kutzli (2002) found a correlation of r = .89 between danger and entrapment for 70 forest/ field scenes.”
• Mystery and Preference in Within-Forest Settings (2007, background): “Thus, when visual access is controlled statistically, the mystery-preference correlation typically turns positive (Herzog & Kirk, 2005; Herzog & Kropscott, 2004; Herzog & Kutzli, 2002).”
• Visual Permeability, Locomotive Permeability, Safety, and Enclosure (2005, background): “Herzog and Chernick (2000) found a correlation of –.72 between openness and danger for 48 urban and nature scenes, and Herzog and Kutzli (2002) found a correlation of r = .89 between danger and entrapment for 70 forest and field scenes.”
• The Role of Nature in Coping with Psycho-Physiological Stress: A Literature Review on Restorativeness (2014, background): “natural environments would not likely be restorative because they are perceived as dangerous [32,33],”
• Fear versus fascination: An exploration of emotional responses to natural threats (2005, unknown): “In recent years, a second line of research has emerged that has studied predictors of negative reactions to visual representations of forest and field settings ( Herzog & Kutzli, 2002; Herzog & Kropscott, 2004).”
• Variations in perceptions of danger, fear and preference in a simulated natural environment (2010, background): “…work within natural environments that has demonstrated that variables contributing to visibility and locomotor access are negatively related to perceived danger and fear but positively related to preference (e.g. Chapin, 1991; Herzog & Kirk, 2005; Herzog & Kropscott, 2004; Herzog & Kutzli, 2002).”
• Legibility, Mystery, and Visual Access as Predictors of Preference and Perceived Danger in Forest Settings without Pathways (2004, methodology): “We use the Herzog and Leverich (2003) definition for the predictor landmarks: “To what extent does the setting contain distinctive or memorable objects or features that could serve as useful landmarks to help you find your way around in the setting?” For visual access and movement ease, we borrowed ”
• An exploratory study of perceived safety in a neighborhood park using immersive virtual environments (2018, background): “Perception of danger or feelings of fear likely influence individuals’ preferences (Herzog and Kutzli, 2002) and discourage use (Madge, 1997; Molnar et al.”
• Perceived Danger in Urban Public Space (2005, background): “THE IMPACT OF PHYSICAL FEATURES Many studies have already analyzed links between different physical features of the urban environment and perceived danger (Fisher & Nasar, 1992; Herzog & Kutzli, 2002; Nasar & Jones, 1997; Newman & Franck, 1982).”
