In recent years, China has accomplished remarkable development. On the other hand, China has the problem that the traffic infrastructure has not caught up with economic development. In the maintenance of traffic infrastructure, it is important to perform development not only for convenience but also suitable to landscape. In this paper, especially we focused on the street landscape in the traffic infrastructure. And we investigated 32 graduate students of Southwest Jiaotong University to get the degree of satisfaction of the street landscape in Chengdu China. In the investigation, we evaluated the degree of satisfaction of the street landscape from “comfort” and “activity” these two factors by using five-stage method on 120 sheets of pictures. Moreover, the physical characteristic of these pictures was investigated. We searched for the physical factor which affects the degree of satisfaction of a street landscape by multivariate adaptive regression spline (MARS).
