In this study, the evaluation of regional landscape is performed by residents using the Kansei Engineering method, and it is shown that the regional landscape is characterized by three Kansei factors such as “locality”, “mentality” and “functionality”. Further more, the residents are classified into three groups such as “high QOL”, “middle QOL” and “low QOL” according to a regional QOL (Quality of Life) index proposed in this study using the Kansei Engineering method, and finally the Kansei for landscape is evaluated for each group. Based on these results, the contributed factors to QOL of residents are analyzed using by SOM (Self Organizing Map), and the difference of evaluation of landscape between the high QOL resident and the low QOL one.
