Urgent Biophilia: Human-Nature Interactions and Biological Attractions in Disaster Resilience (2012, background): “Kuo et al. (1998) and Kuo and Sullivan (2001) present research demonstrating that exposure to trees in urban settings can foster a sense of safety and reduce crime rates, thus contributing to social well-being.”
An Exploration of Relationships Among the Responses to Natural Scenes (2010, neutral): “…Tennessen & Cimprich, 1995), evoke positive behaviors (e.g., Cackowski & Nasar, 2003; Han, in press; Faber Taylor, Wiley, Kuo, & Sullivan, 1998; Kuo & Sullivan, 2001a, 2001b), help restoration (e.g., Hartig et al., 1997; Herzog, Black, Fountaine, & Knotts, 1997; Herzog, Maguire, & Nebel, 2003;…”

Community food security via urban agriculture: Understanding people, place, economy, and accessibility from a food justice perspective (2012, methodology): “Using geospatial and/or statistical methods, some researchers have analyzed the impacts of UA and urban greening programs on neighborhood property values (Been & Voicu, 2006), quality of life (Tranel & Handlin, 2006), and crime (Kuo & Sullivan, 2001).”
Variations in perceptions of danger, fear and preference in a simulated natural environment (2010, background): “Kuo and Sullivan (2001) report that in North America, active programs to remove vegetation in urban parks are being followed in an attempt to reduce the perceived likelihood and fear of crime.”
‘Living the High Life’? Residential, Social and Psychosocial Outcomes for High-Rise Occupants in a Deprived Context (2012, background): “…because studies have shown that spending time in natural settings has restorative effects (Hartig et al., 1991; Kaplan, 1995), the presence of vegetation reduces aggression (Kuo & Sullivan, 2001), views of nature reduce stress (Ulrich, 1994), and exposure to daylight enhances emotional well-being.”
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).”
Object-based urban vegetation mapping with high-resolution aerial photography as a single data source (2013, background): “In addition, vegetation cover types such as gardens, lawns, trees, and forests have been proved to have positive social outcomes, including reduction of crime (Kuo and Sullivan 2001), increase in health benefits (Coen and Ross 2006), as well as favourable childhood development (Taylor et al. 1998).”
