Abstract
The ideal spatial conditions for bathing in a forest atmosphere were investigated through Landscape Image Sketching Technique (LIST). 33 landscape image sketches by students were analyzed in terms of 1) variety of landscape elements, 2) their visual appearance and 3) the position of the viewpoint. Then, the results were organized by the composition types of the landscape image sketches and interpreted through principal ingredient analysis. As a result, each composition type of landscape image sketches was characterized with its spatial conditions. The research findings suggested a need of the forest management depending on visitors' interests as well as public relations to promote the bathing in a forest atmosphere.
