The best way to make individuals more conscious of the concerns and difficulties facing society is through education. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of tourists' experiences on environmental education through the resonance of the nature tourism destination brand and environmental education to visitors. The knowledge of the environment among tourists can be raised through travel and nature tourism. People's knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the environment are influenced by their experiences in the environment. The host society suffers when tourism numbers exceed an area's ecological capacity, which lowers the quality of the tourism experience. If this problem is ignored, society will face social and environmental challenges. The greatest and most efficient method for educating people and instilling a sense of responsibility in them is through environmental education. The sample size was determined by Cochran's formula of 384 people. The sample technique was convenience sampling, and the study's statistical population consisted solely of domestic tourists to Borujerd city. Expert judgments validated the research's validity, while Cronbach's alpha assessed its reliability. Through the resonance of the nature tourism destination brand and environmental education to tourists, as well as the resonance of the nature tourism brand on public environmental education, the research findings demonstrated that tourists experience has a positive and significant effect on environmental education.

Increasing urbanization has resulted in urban stress, and this issue has affected adults, including university students. This study investigates the relationship between the utilization of nearby green spaces by university students and their perceptions of stress and health. According to Ulrich's Stress Reduction Theory, this study designs an online survey method on students’ stress and analyzes their stress based on the results of the survey. The statistical population of the research included all 417 undergraduate students of English Language Translation at Alborz Payame Noor University in the academic year 2022-2023. Finally, 186 students who completed the online survey were selected for the study. The Perceived Stress Scale scores were combined and entered into IBM SPSS statistics 25. The results obtained from the regression analysis showed that the utilization of green spaces is negatively correlated with perceived stress levels, indicating that the frequency and time of visiting green areas have a predictive role in reducing the stress of students. This research adds to the body of knowledge regarding the function that urban green spaces predict promoting wellbeing and stress reduction. Thus, some suggestions for utilizing urban green spaces to improve university students' health might be proposed.
