抄録

Study of the psychological evaluation of the landscapes began in the 1960s. It has become popular in many countries and is currently progressing. In this study, I examine research that has been published in major English journals, such as Landscape and Urban Planning, Landscape Research, Journal of Environmental Management, Environment and Behavior, Journal of Environmental Psychology and others until 2014. Based on the process of the phenomenon of landscape experiences and appreciation, this historical review is divided into the following five parts: (1) understandings of landscape appreciation; (2) attributes of respondents, i. e. the observers; (3) appreciations of landscape, i.e. the items of psychological evaluation; (4) focal objects in the landscape and their observation methods; and (5) analytical methods and their results for planning proposals. This paper, discusses parts (4) and (5), while parts of (1) to (3) were discussed in previous paper (Aoki, 2015).
