Female students show heightened sensitivity to visual comfort, safety, and usability, frequently using outdoor areas for rest, socializing, and emotional regulation. Given the close link between these spaces and their campus experiences, female students are a key group for assessing campus space quality from a gender-responsive perspective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study combined eye-tracking technology with subjective evaluations to explore female college students\u2019 visual behavior and spatial cognitive preferences in campus outdoor public spaces. A total of 34 female participants aged 18\u201323 were recruited, and experiments were carried out at six typical campus outdoor sites under non-direct sunlight conditions. Three types of Areas of Interest (AOIs) and 11 environmental object categories were defined. Wearable eye-trackers synchronously collected visual gaze data, supplemented by questionnaire surveys. With image segmentation and spatial analysis, core eye movement indicators were extracted for quantitative analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main findings<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The results showed that natural landscape elements, especially trees, obtained the highest visual attention in total fixation duration, fixation count and average fixation duration, while functional facilities such as streetlight and stone table attracted less attention. Multi-functional plaza and campus walkway area achieved higher subjective satisfaction, whereas rest and communication areas had lower scores. Correlation analysis verified that attention to natural elements positively correlated with spatial satisfaction (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f0.65,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001), while excessive gazing at road surface and sign negatively correlated with safety and comfort perceptions (\n                      <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f\u22120.57,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001).
