This study explores how perceptions and cognitive responses to neighborhood outdoor spaces influence leisure activities and emotional experiences, ultimately affecting QOL. Using survey data from 412 residents in Tainan, Taiwan, analyzed through structural equation modeling (SEM), the study found that indirect effects mediated by leisure activities and emotional experiences amplify the impact of outdoor spaces on QOL. These findings offer insights for urban designers and policymakers to create spaces that enhance residents' well-being. By examining how specific environmental features affect daily experiences, this research contributes to a broader understanding of sustainable urban development.
