On each casestudy areas, one hundred of people were interviewed using the questionaire which is organized with Landscape elements and Organic elements, etc. In this study, the data of Landscape elements were used mainly.
The correlation matrix between elements was caluculated. Then, Structure vectors throughthe Direct Varimax Method were used to make the groupes of elements. The overall groupes were shown in Fig. 1.
Through the analysis of Landscape elements (Direct varimax Method and Cluster Analysis), it was made clear that people recognize the riverscape under the four groupes of elements which are shown as follows (Fig. 2 to Fig. 4).
