The Role of Landscape Design in Promoting Health and Wellbeing in Tertiary Institutions: Emphasis on the Lagos State University of Science and Technology
Abstract
This study examines the role of landscape design in promoting health and wellbeing within tertiary institutions, using Lagos State University of Science and Technology (LASUSTECH), Ikorodu as a case study. University campuses are not only centers for academic activities but also environments that significantly influence the physical, mental, and social wellbeing of users. This research evaluates how landscape elements such as green spaces, recreational areas, shaded walkways, and natural features contribute to stress reduction, physical activity, social interaction, and overall wellbeing. The study adopts a qualitative case study approach involving physical site observation and semi-structured interviews with students and staff. Findings indicate that well-designed landscape spaces enhance mental relaxation, improve environmental quality, and encourage social engagement. The study concludes that integrating effective landscape design strategies into campus planning can significantly improve user wellbeing and recommends increased investment in green infrastructure within tertiary institutions.
