School grounds, including their design and physical features, the rules that govern them, their role in school and community life, and the types of play and social interaction that they invite and support, become a site of purposeful intervention for promoting health. (Bell and Dyment 2008)Recently, In the US the increasingly sedentary lifestyles has contributed constant asthma, obesity, attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and lack of vitamin D, which have enhanced in commonness over the past few decades. Viewing television is one of the factors for obesity, deficient oral hygiene which connected to reduce physical activity. (McCurdy et al 2010) This paper in the table1 posits students need to access to nature in schools due to develop psychological and physical health. This proposed that decreased exposure to nature is likely to disadvantages to health and wellbeing. (Maller et.al.2002, White 2004 cited in Johnson 2007) Natural environments may have the potential to improve capacity for attention, mental health, physical well-being and positive effect on mood reduce stress and restore. (McCurdy et al 2010) Table1: The impact of natural environment on student's ability Benefit of nature Psychological health Physical health Enhance of health Enhance of positive behaviors Reduce of abnormal behaviors Reduce of diseases Greater feel of well being due to the physical environment encourage experience and emotion. [8] Psychological health and physical well being are improved in outdoor activities in green schools (5). National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health show that adolescent who feeling of report more linked to school indicate minor emotional distress levels, threat behavior and aggression. (Resnick et al., 1997 cited in Arbogat et al 2009) In addition, other organized health subjects on natural environments encouragement of physical activity. (Belland Dyment2006; Boldemann et al.2006) and to promote of food gardens to increase knowledge of health food choices and production of food. (Canaris 1995; Dillon et al.2003;graham and Zidenger- Cherr2005;Morris,Briggs and Zidenberg- Cherr2002 cited in Bell and Dyment 2008)green school stimulate using knowledge of growing crops to educate about present universal issues focusing ISBN:
2 food, significance of using resources of natural in a sustainable method. (Bowker and Tearle 2004) 2 Nature And Mental Health Natural environments in schools are a significant role in developing psychological health. Green school ground promote more regular access to nature world, they position to create a significant of contribution to wellbeing in children and adults.(dyment and Bell 2008) therefore, Landscape of Campus and building designer and aid school managers in way that may enhance satisfaction with the environment of school and student behavior and also reduce mental fatigue and stress levels.( Matsuoka 2010) Rohde and Kendle( 1994)indicated that that viewing nature reduces anger, anxiety and interest and enhances sustain concentration and feeling of pleasure.(leger 2003) Exposure to natural settings encourage feeling of pleasure and psychological excitement, and decrease negative effect. So, natural elements in environment most able of increasing psychological health should be free of stressors and include an aesthetically enjoyable. Referring to Ulrich et al. (1991) state that developments to psychological health and well being are as a result of decreasing stress.(duvall 2011)Nature reduce stress and improve concentration and observation of spontaneous, therefore, association with the physical environment become more healthier, calmer and alert and less control to conflict. (Szczepanski 2009) The amount of nature in environment have strongest connection to reduce anxiety and depression in people's, particularly in children. (McCurdy et al 2010) Referring to Kellert (2002) suggested that promoted cognitive development,andother researches recognized that psychological and well being are supported and motivated by direct and ongoing nature experience. (Johnson 2007) In additional, Nature experience is definitely essential to positive improvement, contributes wellbeing of the mind and can be used as an efficient psychotherapy for some abnormal behaviors, and contributes for young people.(wolf 2003) and also, Natural environment has a positive effect in violence and levels of crime in United States.25,26)- (11) Moreover, Dyment (2004) indicated that naturalizing ground of school supplied safe area for students and had the influence of enhancing cooperation while decreasing vandalism and violence.(johnson 2007) Greening in school ground can increase the safety by calming, softening surface of place, by supportive behavior and encouraging civil. (6)- (11) The potential of contact with nature is to restore a directed attention individual skills and have a stress- reducing by sustaining nontaxing attention, positive emotions, and restricting negative attitude. When the ability to concentrate is decreased by overuse, Directed attention mental fatigue happens. Personality experience such as mental fatigue not only may have a reduced skill to focus, but also may become more antisocial, irritable, impulsive, distractible, stressed, and accident prone. (Matsuoka 2010) On the other hand, Attention Restoration Theory (ART), natural environment increase psychological health and well being and reload the attention resources and decrease mental fatigue. (Kaplan, 1995; Kaplan & Kaplan, 1989 cited in Duvall 2011). Furthermore, Herzog et al (1997) found that contact with nature was shown to enhance ability of problem solving and concentration and also decrease irritability, mental fatigue and accident in people. ( Leger 2003) Boston's Education Development Center(2000) managed a survey of 56 naturalized schools grounds and indicated strong evidence of increase behavioral and enthusiasm, creativity, engagement, organization outcomes and academic. Natural elements provided student's cognitive, physical, social wellbeing and emotional. (Dyment 2004, Education Johnson 299 Development Center 2000, Faber Taylor et. al. 2001, Fjørtoft 2001 & 2004, Herrington Studtmann 1998, Lieberman & Hoody 2000, Moore & Cosco 2000, & Wells 2000 cited in Johnson 2007). The benefits of psychological have shown that contact with natural environments, as well as enhancement to mood.(hull $ Michael, 1995 cited in Duvall 2011), function of attention ( Duvall 2011), development in psychological health. (Devries, Verheij, Groenewegen, & Spreeuwenberg, 2003 cited in Duvall 2011), reducing anti social behavior (Moore & Cosco 2003) Restoring attention ( Korpela & Hartig 1996, Korpela et.al.2002 and Faber Taylor et al.) Improving psychological wellbeing during developed sense of security, organize and privacy. (Abbot-Chapman 2000, Kuo, Bacaicoa & Sullivan 1998, Kim-Cohen et al. 2004, Kylin 2003, Korpela et al2002, Wells &Evans 2003 cited in Johnson 2007) Enhancing function of cognitive. (Faber Taylor et. Al. 2001, Lieberman & Hoody 2000, Mc Michael 2001 & Wells 2000 cited in Johnson 2007) Promoting agility and balance. (Fjørtoft 2001 and 2004cited in Johnson 2007). Reporting by Kaplan and Kaplan (1994) indicate that actions in nature provide satisfaction. Natural school ground enhances cognitive and social wellbeing and improvement of behavioral and psychological personality. (Johnson 2007) ISBN:
3 Neurophysiological stimulation is restored to more levels of moderate, encouragement an overall well-being sense..(haritig et al., 1991; Ulrich et al.,1991cited in Matsuoka 2010) Table 2 indicates that the effect of natural environment on psychological health. Table 2: The impact of natural environment on student's mental health. The element of student's mental psychological health feeling of pleasure Organism's psychological characteristics mental health wilderness therapy Psychological well being Mood sustains attention Enhanced Restoring attention cognitive functioning Behavioral interest Privacy Creates harmony Satisfaction Calmer Security concentration Stressed mental fatigue depression Anger Anxiety Irritability anti- social impulsive distractible Reduced violence bullying, vandalism accident prone crime abnormal behavior control to conflict negative opinion aesthetically enjoyable Natural outdoor learning to encourage health and well being and to be an important impact on the factor of multifaceted, school- based strategies of health promotion.(bell and Dyment 2008) Connect to the natural outdoor not only was there a significant level of higher health, but also reduced sickness. (Mygind 2007), therefore, the table3 indicated the elements of health enhanced and reduced when the students contact to the nature in schools from review of literature review. Referring to Kellert (1993 $ 2002) the view of nature have some support to learning and health development. (Johnson 2007) Therefore, researchers state that the relationship between health and natural environment has been observed, however, to a less significant level. When designing and executing natural environment for school, the most commonly reasonable health concerns are frequently the direct physical, such as providing protection of sun. (Boldemann et al.2006; Evergrenn 2003, 2006; Greenwood, Soulos and Thomas 1998; Queensland Health 2002 cited in Bell and Dyment 2008). Table 3: The impact of natural environment on student's health. The element of student's health Physical health Health fresh food Opportunity for fresh air Enhanced Growth body Healthy bones and muscles Vitamin D Obesity Diabetes Type of cancer Hypertension Heart disease Osteoporosis Depression Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Reduced Disorder (ADHD) Blood pressure Sickness Asthma Myopia Pain issues Health inequalities Ultraviolet radiation When enhancing shade in schools, student's exposures are reduced by harmful chemical and ultraviolet radiation. John (1998) sates that preparing shade is a more efficient health than teenagers wear hats in. (Bell and Dyment 2008) furthermore, green environment have an opportunity for fresh air and physical activity(szczepanski 2009). Connect with nature may decrease inequalities of health by stimulating physical activity and proposing protection from natural influence of poverty linked stress.(mccurdy et al ISBN:
4 2010)and also natural environments have always featured as key elements in health encouragement models and ideas. Therefore, new field of survey are emerging which take idea for benefit of nature to increase or restore health.(leger 2003)consequently, access to nature may directly to advantage of health.(cleland et al 2008 & Potwarka et al 2008 cited in McCurdy et al 2010) design of school ground is opinion that lawn and asphalt area provide model of surface for engaging in team sports and burning off excess energy, and are therefore greatest suited to encouraging physical activity. (Bell and Dyment 2008) Plants take part in organize of pediatric asthma remains indefinite. (Lovasi et al 2008 cited in McCurdy et al 2010). Moreover, there is significant evidence when viewing nature such as flora and fauna enhanced psychological health, and the other factors such as safe walking area and well- lit, have built an significant role to decreasing injury and promoting physical activity. (Leger 2003) level of moderate physical activity, such as those obtained through walking and cycling be able to decrease the risk of overweight. (Frank & Niece 2005 cited in Dyment and Bell 2008) furthermore, animals have influenced to health for thousands of years, and also providing source of food, and they have been indicated to give to reducing blood pressure, stress and negligible health promotion.(maller et al., 2002cited in Leger 2003) Anderson et al., 1992 demonstrated that the owner of PET had considerably decrease levels of blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride than non- owners.( Leger 2003) natural environments promote physical activity and amount the time spend in outdoor and also has the influence to reduce the risk of obesity and stress in students.( McCurdy et al 2010). Sedentary life style has enhanced to contribute childhood chronic condition as an example asthma, childhood obesity, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), lack of vitamin in the US over the past few decades..(mccurdy et al 2010) The connect of enhances physical activity with nature and development health, as well as the prevention of diabetes, cardiovascular infection, a variety of cancer type, hypertension, osteoporosis and obesity has been well recognized. (Warburton, Nicol, &Bredin, 2006 cited in Duvall 2011) Guide line of the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) explain that regular outdoor activity helps make sustain healthy bones and muscles, decrease the risk of overweight and chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and sense of depression. (McCurdy et al 2010 & Szczepanski 2009& ). Outdoor activity is recognized to decrease the risk of untimely mortality, coronary heart disease, hypertension, colon cancer, depression and anxiety..(pate et al cited in McCurdy et al 2010) Physical activity in nature may be connected with levels of vitamin D. The factors of Lifestyle integrated nutrient intake, physical activity, and duration of access to sunlight. In addition, outdoor activity in nature may also improving chronic pain issues, myopia asthma, type 2 diabetes and development of childhood decrease susceptibility to other disease. ( McCurdy et al 2010) and to decrease systolic and diastolic blood. (Hansen et al 1991 cited in McCurdy et al 2010). Moreover, Cohert (2009) researched among 1249 teenager students in Singapore who spend more times in natural environment has a significantly less myopia.( McCurdy et al 2010) the other benefit of physical health by natural environment is the opportunity to encourage better nutrition through student involvement in activity of food gardening. (Bell and Dyment 2008) and the other factors is contact to healthy fresh food. ( McCurdy et al 2010). 3 Challenges And Conclusion This study adds to exploring the impact of natural environment on student's psychological and physical health where student able to experience nature. In addition, designing of landscape can influence the amount of opportunities to encourage students for outdoor activities, consequently; Landscape architects can also be evaluated to decide their thoughts on how school ground landscapes are designed.
