Decoding the Role of Urban Green Space Morphology in Shaping Visual Perception: A Park-Based Study

Land, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(3), P. 495 - 495

Urban green spaces, vital public infrastructure, have received limited research on how their morphology affects visual perception preferences. Using data from ten parks, we generated space maps high-resolution satellite imagery and calculated indicators, such as quantity, fragmentation, connectivity, shape complexity. By combining the Mask2Former image segmentation deep learning model with a multi-objective regression structural equation modeling, analyzed relationship between preferences, controlling for geographic demographic factors. The results showed that spaces tighter aggregation, continuity, complexity led to more distinct perceptions. This was mediated by proportion of landscape elements. distribution, shape, connectivity urban had an independent impact individual perception, far exceeding influence quantity alone. spatial should be incorporated into health-oriented design, exploring global interest in human well-being, providing valuable insights planning health-driven design.

Close contact with nature helps moderate public emotions and enhance happiness. As an important space for the to connect nature, urban park waterfront environment plays a significant role. Studying characteristics of landscape elements contributes optimization natural environment. In this study, spaces 23 parks in Shenyang were selected order categorize from perspective explore relationship between different types visual satisfaction. Using qualitative analysis, typical spatial identified based on differences elements. Content analysis was used extract quantify various spaces. Through orthogonal experimental design, virtual scenarios created evaluate Methods such as least difference multiple comparison (LSD) applied effects element satisfaction within groups. Among four experiment, that influenced primarily concentrated plant pavement characteristics. spaces, impact factors at levels varied. The study introduced experiments analyze which provided new method research results are valuable guidance scientific classification A enhancing supplied.
