Abstract

There exists a certain correlation between spatial environments and emotional fluctuations, and emphasizing research on campus outdoor spaces holds significant importance in promoting students' emotional well-being. Based on relevant theoretical foundations, this study aims to explore the relationship between students and other users' perception of campus outdoor spaces and their emotional characteristics. The survey focuses on students and other campus users at Yunnan University of Finance and Economics. Firstly, it investigates their perspectives on outdoor space perception and its influence on emotions. Secondly, through questionnaires, the study gathers information about the subjects and their emotions. Building upon this data, the emotional characteristics of campus users in outdoor spaces are analyzed from multiple aspects. Finally, using the SPSS method, the study explores the correlation and influencing patterns between campus outdoor space perception and users' emotions, while proposing campus outdoor space planning and design strategies to enhance individual emotional benefits. This research provides a scientific basis for improving campus outdoor environments and enhancing students' emotional well-being.
