School food and nutrition environments in Australian primary schools: A scoping review
Schools are a key environment which can provide access to food, education and skills to enhance food and nutrition literacy and health and wellbeing of primary school students. This review set out to identify key features of school food and nutrition environments (SFNEs) of Australian primary schools, the barriers and enablers for optimising these features, and the impact of school socio-economic status on these features. Six health databases were searched between August 2021 and October 2024. Articles which met the inclusion criteria (n = 148) were selected for a content analysis using a school-system approach. A quality assessment and an in-depth review was then conducted on articles published post 2019 (n = 71). The content analysis identified 18 SFNE elements which were present within the classroom (n = 1), the classroom but externally-operated (n = 1), the school (n = 4), the school but externally operated (n = 6), and other elements external to the school (n = 6). The in-depth analysis revealed a complex interrelationship between these elements and the actors within these elements (students, parents, school staff, volunteers, organisations, community members, and government). As societal and school expectations evolved, this impacted the SFNE. Numerous enablers and barriers to food and nutrition education, student food consumption, and government and school policies were identified, which could be leveraged to optimise SFNEs. Fewer than a quarter of the articles considered the effect of socio-economic factors on the identified SFNE elements. SFNEs are complex, made up of numerous overlapping structural and relational elements. At the local level, the SFNE of every school is unique and school stakeholders (students, parents, school leaders and teachers) should be centralised in the development of local, contextualised strategies to improve their SFNE. State and national resourcing needs to consider financial support as well as time/capacity, personnel, expertise, and curriculum embedment.

Exploring visitor perception and environmental element relationships in rock carving landscapes through random forest analysis
As a typical representative of cultural landscapes, the perceptual assessment of rock carvings encompasses not only the artistry of the carvings themselves but also the multi-dimensional impact of the surrounding environment on tourists. However, existing studies primarily focus on evaluating the artistic value of rock carvings while overlooking the influence of the environment on visitor experience. Taking Yeshan Spring and Autumn Garden as a case study, this research collected image data and visitor perception surveys to establish key perception indicators and employed the random forest method to analyze the importance of environmental factors and their association with visitor perception. The findings indicate that uniqueness and comfort are the key factors shaping visitor experiences, with rock carvings serving as the core anchors attracting visitors. Additionally, vegetation elements—particularly middle vegetation—demonstrated significant potential in influencing and enhancing visitor perception. This study preliminarily reveals the complex relationships between environmental elements and visitor perception and highlights the nonlinear contribution of the synergy among garden elements to improving visitor experience. Following the “one garden, one policy” design principle, this study emphasizes the importance of tailoring conservation and development strategies based on the unique natural conditions, historical and cultural background, and social needs of each garden. It underscores the necessity of optimizing the synergy among garden elements as an effective approach to enhancing visitor perception. By integrating quantitative techniques, this research constructs a more comprehensive evaluation system, providing a valuable reference for cultural heritage preservation and ecological sustainability.
