## 2 Materials and Methods  
### Subject Selection  
The experimental scene in question is situated in Shipo Village, specifically in Kangzhuang Township, Fuxing District, Handan City, Hebei Province. The main street of the village consists of five significant nodes (C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5), which are arranged in a north-to-south order. These nodes represent the current state of the scene. Additionally, five corresponding transformation scenes (T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5) have been selected as experimental images (see Figure 2). The experimental model of the status quo scene replicates the actual rural streetscape, while the retrofit scene model represents a retrofit plan tailored to the existing conditions of the rural streetscape. As seen in Table 1, the chosen scenes have been categorized into five distinct categories. C1 is a small public space node that currently suffers from neglect and lack of maintenance. T1 transformation strategies aim to enhance environmental quality by introducing greening measures, providing seating areas, and modifying the materials used in surrounding buildings. C2 represents the convergence of vertical and horizontal main streets in the rural area, serving as a densely populated meeting point for pedestrians. However, this node lacks architectural uniformity and fails to preserve the original rural landscape. The T2 retrofit procedures encompass the use of indigenous materials to substitute the initial building facade materials, the harmonization of the roof structure, and the augmentation of vegetation along the thoroughfares. C3 represents a node of activity space located along a secondary road adjacent to the primary street in a rural area. This node exhibits a noticeable

In response to this, T3, the corresponding intervention, involves the removal of hazardous structures and the addition of a green park and landscape sketches to enhance the aesthetic quality of the area. C4 is situated at the terminus of the primary thoroughflare within a rural area. The primary enhancements implemented in T4 encompass the enhancement of the street frontage and the reconfiguration of the preexisting agricultural area to augment the variety of cultivated plant species and provide a more pronounced hierarchical structure within the agricultural domain. C5 serves as the central hub of a vast public green space, while T5 is designated to transform and arrange the existing untamed vegetation into an area suitable for cultivating crops and providing an immersive experience. \begin{table}

Table 1: Five groups of rural street scenes panoramic images. The primary nodes of the village's main street in the current scenario are C1-C5, which are grouped in a sequential order from south to north. We aimed to develop a cohesive emotional feedback design to evoke emotions in locals or visitors as they go along this street due to its renovated ambiance. The experimental stimuli were arranged in a predetermined sequence. The experiment employed Sketch Up 2019 software [32] to construct the initial 3D model, which was subsequently imported into Mars 2020 (Bright City Chongqing Technology Co., Ltd., Chongqing, China) to generate an image that could be experienced through a virtual reality device (HTC VIVE Pro, Wuhan Lingzhimiaojing Technology Co., Ltd., Wuhan, China). To enhance the fidelity and quality of the experimental setting, a VR scene map was employed, offering a 360\({}^{\circ}\) panoramic mode. This VR scene map comprised five distinct sets of visual stimulus elements.
