The built environment of a region can influence or dominate its ecosystems, services and can regulate the processes associated with human health and well-being. Built environments can be of any shape and size depending upon where they originate from and how they progress. They may be urban or rural, and this simple classification merely cannot explain the associated perception and satisfaction of the human population unless the Built environment is quantified in terms of its processes, resources and constituting elements in order to identify the major contributors, thus a larger scope of Built Environment comes into the frame. Urban areas are considered central business hubs and are hence created with elements of attraction and benefits which can influence human satisfaction; whereas rural areas are rich in nature and are claimed to be associated with psychological restoration due to their natural diversity. Studies in this aspect have covered either built environment or psychological health, there is still space for a multidisciplinary study which can explore the relationship between the built environments and how humans respond to it in a psychological manner. The relationship between these two is observed through a detailed study of two Churches of Dalhousie town in Chamba District, H.P. The study focuses on the four related aspects of Perceived Restorativeness Scale which can be influenced by the constituting elements of Built Environment. It also explores some of the human preferences in nature-rich religious built environments.
