title: Swiss-wide survey on restorative places and road traffic noise

description: This repository contains data related to the Swiss-wide survey of the RESTORE project. This project is a collaboration between the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research (WSL) and the Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science & Technology (EMPA). It has received funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation. The objective of the RESTORE project was to assess the effects of green spaces as facilitators and noise as impediment to recover from stress in people's daily environments across Switzerland. 
We conducted a nation-wide participatory mapping survey among Swiss residents to explore:
1. The effects of greenness and noise exposure on psychological restoration when looking out of the window at home or when visiting nearby green spaces. It adopted a landscape approach to examine the interplay between environmental factors, individual perceptions, and personal traits – Scientific article 1
2. The multiple aspects that constraint restoration when visiting nearby green spaces – Scientific article 2
Accordingly, this repository includes data and documentation for the following 2 scientific articles:
1. Scientific article 1. “The role of greenness and road traffic noise for psychological restoration in everyday environments. A participatory mapping approach”. Landscape and Urban Planning, 2025
2. Scientific article 2. “Perceived constraints for psychological restoration in nearby greenspaces. An exploratory and multi-dimensional approach”. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, 2025
