Abstract

The lack of «green» from the urban environment has negative effects on all aspects of human activity. People are affected psychologically, spiritually, culturally and also in their work life, under constant pressure and high stress levels, deprived of important activities and the pleasures of everyday life. Thus, it is observed that people tend to prefer natural landscapes than structured ones, especially when there is an absence of vegetation and aquatic element. Generally, when people are under pressure, they search for the shelter of a natural landscape, that will make them feel better. Landscapes consisting of trees, grass, water, rock formations, flowers and birds are considered very useful and necessary in today's busy city people. This paper records the most important principles, which are useful to follow when designing an outdoor urban recreation area.
