Abstract

Korištenje biljaka u uređenju ureda, škola, trgovačkih centara i ostalih interijera postalo je široko rasprostranjeno zahvaljujući brojnim istraživanjima koja su ukazala na pozitivan utjecaj biljaka na tjelesno i mentalno zdravlje ljudi. Ostaje nedovoljno istražen utjecaj količine sobnih biljaka na preferencije stambenih prostora, što smo ispitali u ovom istraživanju. Dodatno je ispitana povezanost izloženosti prirodi i korištenja sobnih biljaka u uređenju interijera s preferencijama soba. Također se htio provjeriti utjecaj vanjskog faktora prisutnosti biljaka za vrijeme provođenja istraživanja na rezultate istraživanja. Sudionicima je (N = 219, 161 žena i 57 muškaraca) prikazano ukupno 6 slika dnevnih boravaka po 3 različite verzije uređenja: bez sobnih biljaka, s malim udjelom biljaka i s velikim udjelom biljaka. Nalazi otkrivaju značajnu preferenciju soba s biljkama naspram onih u kojima ih nema, no nije pronađena razlika između preferencija dnevnih soba s velikim udjelom biljaka i dnevnih soba s malim udjelom biljaka. Preferencija dnevnih soba nije bila povezana sa sudionikovom izloženošću prirodi, kao ni sa sklonošću korištenju sobnih biljaka u uređivanju interijera. Sudionici koji su upitnik ispunjavali u prostoru koji je sadržavao biljke nisu se razlikovali u preferenciji dnevne sobe od sudionika koji su upitnik ispunjavali u prostoru koji nije sadržavao biljke. Ovi rezultati pružaju temelj za buduća istraživanja čiji bi rezultati ponudili praktične smjernice o tome koliko sobnih biljaka koristiti u uređenju interijera, te smjernice za buduća istraživanja.

Abstract (english)

The use of plants in decorating offices, schools, shopping centers and other interiors has become widespread thanks to numerous studies that have shown the positive impact of plants on people's physical and mental health. The influence of the amount of indoor plants on residence preferences, which was examined in this research, remains insufficiently researched. Additionally, the connection between exposure to nature, and the use of indoor plants in interior decoration with room preferences was examined. We also wanted to explore the influence of the external factor of the presence of plants during the research on the results of the research. The participants (N = 219, 161 women and 57 men) were shown a total of 6 pictures of living rooms in 3 different versions: without indoor plants, with a small proportion of plants and with a large proportion of plants. Findings reveal a significant preference for rooms with plants versus those without plants, but no difference was found between preferences for living rooms with high green cover ratio and living rooms with low green cover ratio. The preference for living rooms was not related to the participant's exposure to nature, nor to the tendency to use indoor plants in interior design. Participants who filled out the questionnaire in a space that contained plants did not differ in their living room preferences from participants who filled out the questionnaire in a space that did not contain plants. These results provide a basis for future research, the results of which would offer practical guidance on how many houseplants to use in interior design, and guidance for future research.
