Community therapeutic landscapes play a critical role in promoting the physical and mental well-being of older adults, fostering social interactions, enhancing living environments, and contributing to the sustainable development of communities. Grounded in Stress Reduction Theory (SRT) and Attention Restoration Theory (ART), this study identifies and synthesizes the design characteristics of therapeutic landscapes and subsequently develops an evaluation framework for community therapeutic landscape design cases.
