The Influence of Multistakeholder Value Cognition and Risk Attitudes on Sustainable Interior Landscape Design Decisions

Abstract

With the increasing demand for interior landscapes, sustainable interior landscape design (SILD) has become part of a desirable lifestyle. However, consumer attitudes and a lack of consciousness and understanding of SILD have led to potentially negative impacts on design decisions regarding the use of sustainability in SILD. This study recruited 405 stakeholders to explore the relationships among value cognition, risk attitude, and decision intention. The value–attitude–behavior (VAB) model method was adopted to evaluate stakeholders’ cognitions and attitudes toward sustainable design and factors that influence sustainable design practices. The results demonstrated a positive correlation between multistakeholders’ value cognition, risk attitude, and SILD decisions. The relationship between value cognition and SILD decision intention is mediated by risk attitude. Furthermore, the value cognition of multistakeholders impacts risk attitude on the practice of SILD, thus changing design decisions. These findings provide insights into the sustainability of interior landscapes and design, particularly in terms of addressing diverse needs within multistakeholder practices.
