A Study on Landscape Evaluation by Video Image

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the validity and effectiveness of video images used in landscape evaluations. This paper reviews previous studies with video image, and carried out the following case study. A cascade in the Inage Artificial Shore Park has been chosen as the object of the evaluation. The same questionnaires have been carried out at site and indoors (using video images and slide projections) for five different visual distances. As a result, it has turned out that the evaluations based on video images agree with those at site to a high degree, in the cases that the object is seen from the distance in which visual informations are prevalent, provided that the terms for evaluation have close relationshis to visual informations.
