Abstract: (3715 Views)
| Since industrial units are in line with various accidents and demand that the workers have high awareness and cognitive processing, then this paper aimed to find out whether the use of nature can be effective in regaining workers' attention in industrial environments. Therefore, in the form of a survey research, it has measured the four components of attention restoration theory (including being away, fascination, extent, and compatibility) as well as the general restoration of outdoor and indoor environments in industrial units. The subjects of this study were the workers of Ilam industrial zone and they were asked to measure the restorative rate of different industrial spaces (with and without nature) on the Likert scale. The Analysis of collected data showed that the lowest rate of attention restoration is related to the interior space without a view of nature (with a value of 2.56). The next ranks were related to the following spaces, respectively: outdoor area without nature (with a value of 3.77); Interior space with a view of nature through the window (with a value of 4.95); outdoor area with nature (with a value of 5.12); Interior space with a view of the sea poster (with a value of 5.31) and interior space with a view of the plain and forest poster (with a value of 5.63). The results confirm that the use of nature, whether in industrial outdoors or indoors, can be considered a restorative factor. |
