Throughout the chapters, the understanding of therapeutic environments is broadened through the exploration of specific cultural and social dimensions of Indigenous peoples. The case studies include a combination of research papers that reference the theoretical and conceptual foundations of therapeutic environments and their application according to traditional methods. This book contributes to the expanding knowledge focused on the role of therapeutic environments and their impact on shaping health and well-being through the development of new research methods. It is essential for professionals, academics, and students in the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, urban planning, design, geography, building science, public health, and environmental engineering.
