摘要: The change in public landscape cognition is of crucial significance in achieving sustainable landscape management, but it has not drawn enough attention in China. Landscape cognition was recognized as a cognitive process affected by both objective and subjective factors in this study. Information processing in landscape cognition was divided into two parts, which were measured by two indicators: perceptual priority (PP) and cognitive preference (CP). Factors impacting this process were analyzed based on a survey of 227 subjects with diverse backgrounds and life experiences. The results indicated that (1) a moderately patterned preference for natural landscape together with a consistent dislike of artificial landscape existed among the sample based on demographic subjects' demographic characteristics-in particular, age and education showed significant influence on landscape preference; (2) water elements and elements with large areas, regular shapes, and low axial ratios were more easily perceived and identified. The study suggests a rationally grouping of landscape elements based on PP and CP values and illustrates how this grouping determines landscape valuation in a Chinese context. The results contribute to a general picture of public landscape perception and preference in China, which can be applied in planning practice and policy making to achieve sustainable landscape management.
