Evaluation experiment of the green roofs by the subjects of Chinese foreign students and Japanese

Abstract

Landscape evaluation experiment by the semantic differential method was made to know the similarities and differences between two different types of subjects i.e. Chinese foreign students and Japanese college students. Twenty composite pictures were made by combining pictures of four kinds of city backgrounds with a bare roof or four green roof pictures. As a result of two-way ANOVA, main effects of the two factors (attributes and tree planting styles) were recognized and there were interactions in each background. The similarity was found in the recognition of green quality, tradition and naturalness for the spectacle of green roof between two subjects. And the recognition of comfort and unity and the style of garden were different between them.
