Abstract
Salutogenesis works on a prospective basis by considering creating, enhancing, and improving physical, mental, and social well-being. This research aims to identify the best landscape stimuli that comply with the criteria of both cognitive and salutogenic aspects for reducing stress. This research was conducted by first developing the theory-based model and assessment checklist, followed by preliminary studies that assessed18 parks in Klang Valley based on a neuro-salutogenic landscape checklist. The results indicated that Taman Aman, Petaling Jaya recorded the best neuro-salutogenic landscape stimuli with the highest score for all three aspects of adaptive, restorative, and assertive elements. This research concludes an interesting theory for design professionals about how neural potentials could explains the specific human response to different design settings. © 2022, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
