Comparison between Subjective and Objective Green View Indexes in Urban Space

Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the relationship between subjective and objective green view indexes obtained from a questionnaire survey of over 200 participants. By Welch’s test and estimation of the ordinal logit model, we clarified the characteristics of the distribution of subjective green view index and its relationship with the individual attributes of participants. Focusing on the difference between subjective and objective green view indexes, we found that the difference was influenced by the impressions that participants felt on the images. In addition, the impressions reflected personal attributes of the participants, such as “Likes and dislikes of green,” “Interest in green,” and “Green environment of the place of residence in childhood, now and future” affect the difference.
