It was suggested that there is a psychological effect on rehabilitation in multiple in-site green spaces and a physical effect on rehabilitation in adjacent green spaces. In addition, as a result of analyzing the relationship between use of rehabilitation, DID and composition of green spaces using GIS, most of the hospitals that rehabilitate in the adjacent green spaces were located in urban areas. Analysis of aerial photographs suggested that the number and size of green spaces had an effect on whether or not it was used for rehabilitation.
