ABSTRACT

With the acceleration of urbanization, mountain city parks have become an important space for residents to relax, unwind, and have intimate contact with nature. However, these parks often face embodied obstacles in their design and use, where the body is restricted when interacting with the environment due to the unique terrain features of mountainous cities. This obstacle may weaken the healing function of the park and have an impact on the recovery of users' physical and mental health. Based on a healing perspective, this article aims to explore the issue of embodied obstacles in mountain city parks, analyze their impact on individual psychological and physiological health, and propose strategies for optimizing park design to enhance the healing effect and inclusiveness of parks, and provide better natural interactive experiences for urban residents.
