The aim of conducting my survey on public is: to find out the characteristic of a space that will affect a person's mood and emotion; and what is the most recommended way of treating depression. I am using the most frequent used key words from my survey to analyse the situation in my questionnaires. In my survey, most of the people who participate are students of age varying from 20 to 25.
Questionnaire on survey: What kind of environment makes you feel good? Why?
In order to study how a space environment can bring positive effects to us, it is essential look at the perspective of public on how a person's perceive a space regarded as 'good environment', in another word, a healthy space.
As a result of analysing the data from the public responses, I found out that an environment with the characteristics of calm, natural, bright, quiet, open and fresh air are the spaces of majority people will encounter in order to make them feel good.
Questionnaire on survey: Where would you go when you are feeling down?
According to the responses from public, most people will choose to spend time being alone or isolating them self when they are feeling down. As a result of analysing the answer, when people are engaging with sadness, majority of people will choose to stay in their most comfortable and secure environment like their room or home to act as a sanctuary to cool them down. Minority of people choose to perform some activities like exercises, hang out with friends, outdoor walking or travel.
Questionnaire on survey: What do you think is the most effective way to overcome depression?
As a result of the responses from public, I found out that if a person is involving in social activities like outdoor exercise with friends or family member, meeting or talking with others people tend to bring positive effects to their mental health and recover unstable condition like depression.
As a conclusion to my analysis on my survey, it is a subconscious of human nature that automatically drives a person into an environment when they are struggling with emotional changes for example some people will seek a space where quiet, calm, and peace to sooth their emotion, while some others will choose to lock them self and isolated from outside world, both spaces act as a sanctuary to them.
The environment where described as "good" from them, it can be referred as their own 'healing space" which consists of components that will make them feel better and relax when they are in low mood, for instances nature like park or green landscapes or even a restaurant.
Based on my survey, majority of people will choose to take therapy as a form of treatment for depression rather than medicine. Besides that, they will choose to perform activities like socialize, exercise or walking as a way to overcome their low mood. As a result of my analysis, the reason of not taking any medicine is they might want to use a natural ways to heal depression rather than taking any form of drugs.
