The purpose of this study is to clarify the usefulness concerning the survey in free descriptive answer style and the evaluation process to decide whether preferable or not, against the familiar regional landscapes recalled by the subjects. First of all, a questionnaire survey on preferable and dis-preferable landscapes in free descriptive answer style to the students of Hiroshima University as subjects was carried out. As for the analysis method of the answers, they were divided into three components, such as 'main object','condition of the object' and 'reason for the decision'. As a result of the survey, the fact that the subjects recalled not only the specific landscape elements, such as trees and buildings, but also the variety combination of landscape elements and whole image of landscapes was found out. In addition, the process of landscape evaluation was grasped by the fact that the relationships between each 'main object' and 'reason for the decision' have the feature which prompts to decide whether preferable or not. On the other hand, we clarified that 'main object' and 'reason for the decision' have the strong effect for separating the landscapes into two groups. However,'condition of the object' does not have such effect because it is the supplements for 'main object'.
