Abstract：

As an important problem of increasingly prominent public mental health, the correlation between blue-green space and mental health has received as much attention as it deserves. It has been proved that blue-green space can be used to promote public mental health. With the help of CiteSpace, this paper systematically analyzes mental health effects of different types of blue-green space on different groups of people. Furthermore, it is reviewed from three aspects including relationship, technical methods and discipline perspectives. The results indicate that the relationship tends to be refined, including expansion of impact indicators and impact mechanism; technical methods tend to be diversified; its research field has been changed from a single perspective to an interactive one. Regarding these issues, we build a supporting system and framework for future research in the end, which can be used to provide support and reference for theoretical exploration and planning practice in this field of China.
