Abstract
The landscape is recently becoming one of the key items in designing coastal structures. The analysis of the relationship between shape and landscape (harmony) of wave dissipating concrete block were made based on the questionnaire survey. The result revealed that the round shaped blocks have been preferably accepted.
4 items were selected as the evaluation index of harmony ,i.e., the length of lines on the surface of a block, the degree of sphericity, the block angle and the number of projection. All 4 indices showed high correlation with the harmony. The sphericity is considered to be the best among them as the evaluation index expressing shape of wave-dissipating concrete blocks from the veiwpoint of harmony.
