abstract = {This study addresses students' perceptions of using urban green spaces 

 (UGSs) after the easing of COVID-19 lockdown in China. We questioned 

 whether they are still mindful of the risks from the outdoor gathering, 

 or conversely, starting to learn the restoration benefits from the green 

 spaces. Online self-reported surveys were distributed to the Chinese 

 students aging from 14 to 30 who study in Hunan and Jiangsu Provinces, 

 China. We finally obtained 608 complete and valid questionnaire forms 

 from all participants. Their intentions of visiting UGSs were 

 investigated based on the extended theory of planned behavior model. 

 Structural equation modeling was employed to test the hypothesized 

 psychological model. The results have shown good estimation performance 

 on risk perception and perceived knowledge to explain the variances in 

 their attitudes, social norms, and perceived behavior control. Among 

 these three endogenous variables, the perceived behavior control owns 

 the greatest and positive influence on the behavioral intention, 

 inferring that controllability is crucial for students to make decisions 

 of visiting green spaces in a post-pandemic context.},
