Citations in the corpus

• Key concepts in a framework for analysing visual landscape character (2006, background): “For instance, studies have shown that preferences increase with increasing stewardship (Nassauer, 1997) and naturalness (Hägerhäll et al., 2004).”
• Architectural Lessons from Environmental Psychology: The Case of Biophilic Architecture (2007, background): “The affective value of fractal patterns can be explained by the finding that naturalness is a predictor of biophilic responses and by the fact that fractal geometry eminently captures this quality.”
• Capturing Landscape Visual Character Using Indicators: Touching Base with Landscape Aesthetic Theory (2008, background): “Another example are the concepts of complexity and naturalness, where complexity is used as a description of naturalness (e.g. Hagerhall et al., 2004; Purcell & Lamb, 1998).”
• Evolutionary Influence on Human Landscape Preference (2010, background): “Hagerhall, Purcell, and Taylor (2004) correlated the preference ratings of outdoor scenes in Sweden, northern Italy and Australia with fractal properties.”
• The perceived restorativeness of gardens – Assessing the restorativeness of a mixed built and natural scene type (2008, background): “For instance, attempts have been made to define naturalness by using measurable geometric properties (Hagerhall et al., 2004; Hagerhall, 2005).”
• A Review of Psychological Literature on the Health and Wellbeing Benefits of Biophilic Design (2015, background): “Although the respondents had the same overall preference, there were differences, with physicians providing overall higher ratings for the images than nurses [40].”
