Abstract: Wood, et al. [1] conducted a study on 128 park users in 12 urban parks to assess the nexus among site facilities of green space, biodiversity, and psychological restoration. The research findings showed a positive link between site facilities and biodiversity, and biodiversity can predict users’ restorative benefits regardless of age, gender, and ethnic background. According to the ecomindsponge information-processing approach, people make sense of nature through their subjective perceptions and process feedback from interactions with the environment [4]. This information-processing system naturally works toward the prolonge of people’s existence, including survival, growth, and reproduction. The physiological benefits of biodiversity have gradually affected park users’ mindsets on interaction with the natural environment, making the users’ perceptions of relaxation, beauty, and physical tiredness.
