Relevance analysis and preference evaluation of landscape design and landscape aesthetics in public gardens

Abstract

The landscape of public gardens should promote the harmony between human and nature. Based on the theory of landscape ecology, this paper studies the relevance between landscape design and landscape aesthetics of public gardens, and evaluates the aesthetic preference of the public on the landscape design of public gardens. The research data were collected via a questionnaire survey on 30 volunteers with artistic professional background and analysed statically with a 100-point scale. The results show that the landscape of public gardens in China falls into four layers; the creation of the landscape aesthetics is a compound rather than a single aesthetic feeling; the application of landscape aesthetics in landscape design provides improves the viewers' adaptability to the environment, and reduces the loss of energy and ecological burden; the landscape structure hierarchy of a public garden has a positive impact on the landscape aesthetics, and the preference evaluation of viewers. The research results provide a theoretical basis for improving the aesthetic design of landscape of public gardens.
