The purpose of this study is to develop a method of outdoor psycological experiment, in order to classify and evaluate regional landscape, and to discuss the effect of this, compared with a experiment using photographies. In this experiment, I obliged 20 subjiects to tour 32 points which was illustrated on maps by bicycles, to choose multiple adjectives which was expressed landscape of each point, and to evaluate preference of this.
In order to classify landscape, I applied cluster analysis. of which variable is choice ratio of adjectives. As a experimental result, landscape was classified outdoors by space volume, and greenish landscape was evaluated accurately.Therefore, it was considerd that the experiment was effective so as to classify and evaluate landscape.
And I expect to use the method for the purpose of environmental education.
