Abstract
Urban parks play an increasingly vital role in modern society, serving not only as places for residents to engage in leisure and recreation but also influencing their physical and mental well-being. Previous research has primarily focused on visual and auditory perceptions of park environments. However, olfaction, being one of the fastest triggers of emotions, holds a profound impact on psychophysical experiences. In recent years, with advancements in machine learning and output recognition, Natural Language Processing (NLP) has emerged as a tool capable of discerning language emotions. Analyzing comments allows an understanding of park users' subjective evaluations of odor and emotions. Given the diversity in the size and types of parks, variations in vegetation, water bodies, and urban environments may lead to distinct olfactory characteristics. Therefore, this study aims to explore the differences in the impact of odors on emotions in various types of parks in Taipei City, understanding the relationships between specific park features and olfactory elements. The study selected 30 parks in Taipei City and collected a large number of samples by extracting Google reviews. Atlas.ti qualitative analysis software will be used to help build a database and classify comments into positive, negative and neutral emotions; and analyze the elements that affect smell for three park types: urban parks, riverside parks, and linear parks. The findings are expected to provide an understanding of the differences in smell that trigger emotional responses in various park types. It aims to provide practical recommendations for park management, promote improvements in park design and functionality, and ultimately improve the quality of green space and promote the psychological well-being of individuals involved in urban greening.
