Abstract
Recently, many wind farms have come to be constructed in our country. As an impact of wind farms, which have dozens of huge windmills, on landscape cannot be disregarded, this study analyzed visual impacts of windmills arrangement on landscape. For the first step, we prepared Computer Graphic (CG) pictures which have windmills on the position of various forms, the distances from viewpoint and the widths of them. The next step, 48 students evaluated these pictures with 10 adjective words in Semantic Deferential (SD) method. Measure findings were as follows: (1) the factors of seeing windmills are feelings of oppression, balance and density; (2) these 3 factors of visual evaluation have the relation to the windmills arrangement; (3) this finding shows that visual impacts of windmills could be moderated by operating their arrangement.
