Individual differences in the ways to perceive residential garden-views were investigated. Japanese and English participants were required to choose the domestic gardens (existing in their own country) from a garden-view picture set presented. Individual Differences Scaling (INDSCAL) was employed to categorize the judged responses by the participants and to reveal a pattern of the categories revealed. Results show that 1) both the Japanese and the English participants could pick up the garden-views in their own countries accurately, 2) an environment inference function worked efficiently on domestic garden-view judgment but not on foreign domestic garden-view judgment, and 3) two dimensions might be used in the garden perception in both the Japanese and the English participants.
