A nation-wide participatory mapping survey conducted by Swiss federal research institutes explores the interplay between green spaces and noise for psychological restoration. The RESTORE project data underpins two scientific articles published in Landscape and Urban Planning and Urban Forestry and Urban Greening in 2025. Survey responses likely contain individual perceptions and personal traits related to environmental factors.
Use Cases
- Model psychological restoration based on perceived greenness and noise exposure.
- Analyze constraints to restoration in nearby greenspaces based on survey responses.
- Study the landscape-level interplay between environmental factors and individual traits.
- Assess the effects of road traffic noise as an impediment to stress recovery.
- Map restorative places across Switzerland based on participatory survey data.
Strengths
- Data is associated with two peer-reviewed scientific articles published in 2025.
- Survey conducted nation-wide across Switzerland.
- Project funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation and conducted by federal research institutes (WSL and EMPA).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to a Swiss-only survey.
