Legibility, Mystery, and Visual Access as Predictors of Preference and Perceived Danger in Forest Settings without Pathways (2004, methodology): “The initial studies on this issue (Herzog & Flynn-Smith, 2001; Herzog & Miller, 1998) simply controlled all other predictors and did not isolate the ones that might be most relevant.”
Variations in perceptions of danger, fear and preference in a simulated natural environment (2010, background): “A consistent negative relationship has emerged between perceived danger and preference in urban environments (e.g. Blöbaum & Hunecke, 2005; Fisher & Nasar, 1992; Herzog & Flynn-Smith, 2001; Herzog & Miller, 1988; Nasar & Fisher, 1993).”
Preference and Perceived Danger in Field/Forest Settings (2002, background): “Given the recent implication of mystery as a positive predictor of both preference and danger (Herzog & Flynn-Smith, 2001; Herzog & Miller, 1998), it seemed essential to include it in the present study.”
Visual Permeability, Locomotive Permeability, Safety, and Enclosure (2005, background): “Herzog and Flynn-Smith (2001) had respondents rate 60 alleys on scales of preference, preference assuming one’s safety were guaranteed, danger, setting care, mystery, shadow, curvature, length, and width.”
Urgent Biophilia: Human-Nature Interactions and Biological Attractions in Disaster Resilience (2012, background): “Despite some claims that green spaces can be perceived as dangerous (Herzog and Flynn-Smith 2001, Van Winsum-Westra and Boer 2004), Maas and colleagues (2009) concluded that green space in people’s living environment is generally associated with enhanced feelings of social safety and that this…”
