景觀環境的偏好、心理效益認知與生理反應之研究

Most landscape evaluation research is utilizing psychological and sociological science research methods; in addition, the psychophysiological methods have been gaining its popularity in recent years. This study is based on the fundamental concepts of psychology and psychophysiology to explore the relationship among landscape preference, physical response and psychological benefit cognizance after the subjects have been stimulated/influenced by landscape environment. The experiment results are as follows: 1.The subjects preferred a naturally formed landscape more than the artificaial one. This result matches the Kaplan&Kaplan Theory of 1987. However, the experiment result of the correlation between open landscape and enclos landscape was not statistically sig nificance. 2.The psychological benefit cognizance of naturally formed landscape is obviously higher than the artificial one. This result also coincides a portion of Ulrich's research in 1979 and Kaplan's research in 1989 and 1995. Nevertheless, similar to the result of samply audience, the empirical result of the correlation between open landscape and enclos landscape was not statistically significance either. 3.The result of physical response was not statistical significant enough to warrant a further study; however, Wise and Rosenberg has found that exposing the selected audience to the Savanna Landscape can reduce the sample audience's stress level tremendously. 4.There is a positive correlation between landscape preferenceand psychological benefit cognizance; the greater landscape preference, the greater the psychological benefit cognizance. Consequently, the higher the visual preference rewards the greater psychological benefits. 5.The physical response of the subjeces audience who prefere naturally formed and closure landscapes is more relaxed. On the other hand, for those who prefere artificial and open landscapes, they have more stressed physical responses.
