“…Environmental advertisements provide an excellent opportunity to do so while promoting engagement in proenvironmental behavior. Third, environmental aesthetics have recently become an attractive discipline (Danaci, 2012). The research of environmental advertisements is strongly connected to environmental aesthetics.…”

Media advertisements aimed at mitigating the current environmental crisis are attracting increasing attention. Using 68 standardized environmental advertisements as materials, this study examines potential differences between warning-based and vision-based environmental advertisements in the induced environment-related aesthetic perception and experience. The results show a significant difference between warning-based and vision-based advertisements in the experienced beauty measured by the aesthetic judgment scale, with no difference in (global) aesthetic perception. Specifically, the visionbased advertisements have higher "good" and "boring" scores than the warning-based ones, whereas the warning-based advertisements score more highly in "interesting," "awe," "amazing," and "inspiring" measures than their counterparts. These findings suggest that both types of environmental advertisements trigger a similar aesthetic perception, while different emotional and aesthetic experiences could arouse individuals' environmental concerns or facilitate their proenvironmental behaviors. The main implications of the present research are discussed.

“…In terms of status, Maslow (1954) asserts that everybody has a desire for self-respect, self-esteem, and for the esteem of others. With regard to aesthetics, each resident has a specific level of ability that enables him or her to distinguish beauty (Danaci, 2012), and the perception of being surrounded by beauty enhances self-esteem. Uzunoglu (2012) argues that unpleasing forms, shapes, and styles of architecture create disordered built environments that have negative psychological effects on inhabitants.…”

The Dilemma of Saudi Arabian Homes in Riyadh

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The courtyard form of the traditional Arab house responded to both climate and the culture of its inhabitants. Islamic values, as well as socioeconomic factors, played crucial roles in the design. However, the mid-20th century marked the beginning of Saudi Arabia’s first rapid economic growth as a result of the discovery of oil; which dramatically increased the wealth and prosperity of the population, and resulted in new lifestyles. This period witnessed the introduction of the grid layout street pattern and the detached villa house. This type became the prevalent style in Saudi Arabia, the central province, and Riyadh in particular. While the traditional courtyard house more than satisfied cultural needs, increasingly it was viewed inappropriate for affluent 21st-century lifestyles. Yet this research confirmed that the villa style is creating fundamental problems for Saudi families. The theoretical framework is set in sustainability theory, and investigates the principles of home through human needs, place, and house. The methodology uses a survey strategy with questionnaires, interviews, and building analysis to determine which aspects of home are satisfied by each type. The dilemma is that Saudi families will not return to the courtyard type because it does not meet important requirements of status; whereas the villa type does not meet significant criteria such as privacy. The context is increasing climatic temperatures, which are making both types increasingly uncomfortable. This study highlights the need for a specific contemporary home style that would satisfy 21st-century aspirations, respect Islamic culture, and respond to changing climate.

“…Many authors point out that it is a difficult task to provide the students of various sciences with the sense and skills to assess aesthetics [5,17,27]. Such assessments are based on an individual approach to the beauty of the environment and they are always subjective [18,21,28] even though they are stimulated by the instruments of a particular scientific discipline [26]. Many of these assessments result from the standards developed by society at a particular stage.…”

“…Many of these assessments result from the standards developed by society at a particular stage. Nowadays, on the basis of the adopted model of values, green areas are regarded as a better solution than the expansion of built-up areas, service areas are regarded as better than industrial ones, and more interesting and functionally better architectural and urban solutions are regarded as better than monotonous landscapes and dysfunctional areas [28]. However, the elements that make a landscape more dynamic, including buildings, are important in terms of landscape perception, especially for people who are not experts on the subject, as long as these elements do not cause chaos in the landscape [29,30].…”

“…An important disputable point is the relation of the students to the lecturers in terms of developing the sense of landscape aesthetics. The procedure for the assessment of student work on this subject results in the replacement of the creations of individual students by the tutor's subjective sense of aesthetics [28].…”

As technical and technological progress takes place, there is dissonance between teaching good engineering and technological techniques and respect for the landscape. Engineering students are educated to act as initiators and performers of activities that change space. The purpose of this study is to answer question regarding how the engineering students recognize problems related to shaping the landscape. In the years 2012–2015, surveys were conducted in a group of 274 students of the University in their final year of environmental engineering and civil engineering studies, in order to find the main characteristics related to the problem. Students tended to assess the landscape in a manner determined by their education in natural science—emphasizing the division between the well-shaped natural landscape and the malformed anthropogenic one. There were differences between the groups of students—civil engineering students noticed the qualities of architectural objects and shaped greenery in their perception of the landscape in urban areas more often than the environmental engineering students did. There were no differences in the perception of the landscape in rural areas. The harmonious landscape was described as rural, modern, undeveloped and common. The landscape regarded as degraded was built-up and common. There were no changes in the perception of the landscape resulting from the educational profile among the environmental engineering students. The time has come to change methods of teaching the students of engineering and technical sciences about the landscape. This should result in an improvement in their perception of landscape phenomena.
