Evaluation of the Garden Road Landscape of the Classical Gardens - Taking the Classical Gardens in Hangzhou as Example

Abstract

The garden road is an important element in the garden. Its aesthetic value directly affects the comprehensive value of the whole landscape. In order to explore a better evaluation model and to improve the landscape, the study uses Scenic Beauty Estimation method (referred as SBE method) and multiple linear regression comprehensive analysis to conduct the scenic beauty evaluation of the photographs of the Hangzhou classical garden road landscape. It has extracted 19 landscape elements to analyse and build predictive models. This helped to extract factors that affect the road views, summarize garden road building technologies, including plant arrangement, material selection, form building and other construction techniques, and thus provide a theoretical basis for garden road landscape construction.
