ABSTRACT The landscape experience of green space has been studied and suggested that has restorative effect on mental health. “Salutogenic” landscape such as green space which supports health in mind and body. The design of Salutogenic landscape does not only offer aesthetic value and bring benefits to the environment but also causes a change in behavior. This study aims to fill the knowledge gap by extending the study to the impacts of landscape experience of green space on one’s lifestyle in thought and lifestyle in act. Using landscape as a solution by proposed landscape enhancement to study the effectiveness of impacts on mood state achievement and the frequency of visit to green space. The outcome will be applied in MODE 2 application as one of the suggested design issues to be considered.
