Methodological Approach for the Riverfront Space Designs using Image Processing System

Abstract

The intention of this study is to develop a methodology for designing riverfront spaces which focus on creating attractiveness and naturalness. The method of this study is a cognitive evaluation of twelve simulation models. The simulation models were made by photomontage using a image processing system three cross-sectional compositions were used and each cross sectional model has several different material composition.
Through this study the following major result was obtained: The model which had a gradually inclined embankment covered with lawn and which has an exposed river bed covered with lawn and its embankment covered with ivy are excellent for creating both attractiveness and naturalness.
