Abstract
The purposes of this study were to investigate the effects among different space components, ease of visual movement, and ease of mobile movement for outdoor landscapes. Furthermore, this study explores the relationships among ease of visual movement, ease of mobile movement, and enclosures. The ratios of sky, facades, penetration, planted roadside obstacles, artificial roadside facilities, grounds, and paths were space components selected from the base plane elements, the over-head elements, and the vertical elements. In this study, landscape photographs were taken in outdoor locations in Taipei, and 109 photos were selected as stimuli. The ratios of the space components of stimuli were measured and analyzed by drawing software. Among the stimuli, 9 photos were selected for baseline, and 100 photos were selected for formal investigation. These 100 photos were randomly separated into three groups in order to investigate ease of visual movement, ease of mobile movement, and enclosure evaluation. The three elements of evaluation were presented in 10-point-scale questionnaires, with 167 valid questionnaires collected. The results showed different linear relationships among space components, ease of visual movement, and ease of mobile movement, except for the ratio of artificial roadside facilities. This study established ease of visual movement and ease of mobile movement prediction regression models through space components. In addition, there were significant positive correlations between ease of visual movement and enclosures (r=0.909), and between ease of mobile movement and enclosures (r=0.825). Furthermore, the results showed that ease of visual movement has more effect on enclosure than ease of mobile movement. This study proved that the relationship between physical space factors and the perceptions of visual and mobile elements can be examined; and the correlation among ease of visual movement, ease of mobile movement and enclosures can be examined. The results can contribute to future studies of enclosure and landscape planning.
