In the process of rapid urbanization, large-scale construction of urban residential areas has resulted in inadequate attention to detail in the landscape design of most residential areas, which cannot attract residents to use them. It is urgent to create residential landscapes that attract residents and increase the frequency of their outdoor activities. Based on environmental psychology research, a landscape design system for urban residential areas that meets the psychological needs of Chinese residents is beneficial for improving their quality of life and enhancing neighborly communication. This article first introduces the basic theories of environmental psychology; Secondly, through case analysis, a questionnaire survey will be conducted among residents to analyze and address the deficiencies in the urban residential landscape. Finally, the theory was applied to practice and combined with design strategies to design the landscape of Guzhong residential area in Weicheng District.
