“…In the design, the charging station is shown in the form of anthropomorphic trees, and the modular construction method makes the charging station scalable and can perform a “forest” according to the needs. In the use of materials, to reflect the form of the base station, trees selected by the Nature Conservancy were used, and the toughness of the wood meets the requirements to a certain extent, while the attachment of solar panels is ensured [ 18 , 19 ].…”

The deterioration of the environment in the 21st century has made environmental issues one of the most severe tests for modern society. With this comes a change in energy structure from high-carbon to low-carbon direction, and electric vehicles are gradually developing into the darling of a city with low-carbon transportation and safe travel. This paper carries out a systematic analysis of landscape design and environmental protection in the development of new energy electric vehicle charging facilities in urban habitat. By categorizing the content and provisions of published domestic and international standards, new requirements for standardization are obtained, including barrier-free design, electromagnetic radiation, child safety protection, and urban landscape integration. Among them, ecological landscape public charging facilities can enhance the overall quality of urban environment. This paper analyzes the necessity of landscape design in charging facilities, explores the ecological concepts extended by macroscopic landscape design principles and the problems of public charging facilities, and proposes a design and evaluation method of ecologically landscaped public charging facilities based on hierarchical analysis and neural networks. The hierarchical analysis method is introduced to establish a landscape design assessment index system, and then a neural network is introduced to describe the characteristics of electric vehicle charging, and the landscape design assessment learning samples are trained to establish a landscape design assessment model. Finally, a comparison experiment is conducted with other landscape design assessment methods using specific examples, and the results show that the proposed method has more obvious advantages in ecological landscape public charging facility design assessment with high accuracy, faster landscape design assessment, charging efficiency, and environmental protection.

“…Large-scale crowdsourced datasets can be used to assess the landscape impacts of large national energy projects [100], to identify saturated green space areas in cities and establish controls that do not exceed carrying capacity [101], and to build smart city-related systems to improve the life quality and well-being of residents [102]. Small-scale crowdsourced data sets can be used to conduct in-depth studies such as evaluating the effectiveness of landscape design projects [103] and residents' participation in project site selection [104] to assist planners in their decision-making. The introduction of artificial intelligence technologies such as computer vision undoubtedly improve the efficiency of these processes and reduce costs.…”

This study systematically reviews 55 landscape studies that use computer vision methods to interpret social media images and summarizes their spatiotemporal distribution, research themes, method trends, platform and data selection, and limitations. The results reveal that in the past six years, social media–based landscape studies, which were in an exploratory period, entered a refined and diversified phase of automatic visual analysis of images due to the rapid development of machine learning. The efficient processing of large samples of crowdsourced images while accurately interpreting image content with the help of text content and metadata will be the main topic in the next stage of research. Finally, this study proposes a development framework based on existing gaps in four aspects, namely image data, social media platforms, computer vision methods, and ethics, to provide a reference for future research.

“…Research on public perceptions of living environments, however, has largely omitted the impact of architectural movements, an omission that might also be intertwined with the broader lack of relevant perception data [1][2][3]. The impact of this lack of data has manifested itself, so far, in the difficulty that researchers face when trying to assess and compare the effect of architectural works in terms of receiving positive or negative public perception [4][5][6]. This has eventually obstructed efforts to evaluate the efficacy of investments in such works carried out by public or private bodies [7,8], as well as efforts to integrate relevant considerations in urban planning and spatial design and planning practices.…”

“…In summary, the quantification of public perceptions regarding architecture and architectural movements stands as an integral but largely unexplored [19] research direction for advancing the formation of sustainable living environments. Existing approaches to research questions on the perception of landscapes range from questionnaires [19][20][21] to analyses of social media uploads [22,23] to various types of analyses of georeferenced photographs [2,6,24], image analysis methods [25], and even crowdsourcing [26]. However, there is still much potential for further analyses as the field is characterized by a scarcity of original data.…”

“…The lack of relevant analyses and their utilization in planning and design practices contributes to communities often feeling a general disregard for the quality of their living environments. Furthermore, that lack of comprehensive assessment of architectural and landscape projects not only complicates the evaluation of investments made by the government or by private entities in those areas [3] but also obstructs the integration of feedback from current practices into formulating future urban planning and spatial design practices for improved living conditions [6,27].…”

The public perception of buildings belonging to different architectural movements is a largely unexplored area from a quantitative scientific perspective. However, a better scientific understanding of perceptions of architectural movements is important for the formation of improved planning and design policies. In this work, we carry out an initial exploration of the public preferences of the architectural movements of Neoclassicism, Eclecticism, Modernism, and Postmodernism. To this aim, a total of 103 citizens from Athens (Greece) and Paris (France) were presented with the same questions regarding their opinions on buildings belonging to those movements. In the analysis and interpretation of the collected data, the different cultural, professional, and demographic characteristics of participants were then considered, as well as the role of the urban landscapes of Athens and Paris as the historical, societal, and aesthetic contexts that influence and shape perceptions. The results demonstrated a clear and uniform prevalence of Neoclassical architecture in terms of positive public perception in both cities. Similarly, in both cities, Eclecticism followed with a relatively more positive perception than Modern and Postmodern architectural styles, which were rated the lowest. However, a significant difference between the two cities was that when participants singled out their primary favorite style, Modernism enjoyed higher favorability in Athens than in Paris. These findings and their theoretical exploration provide inferences into the complexities of public perceptions of architectural styles, with potential implications for the integration of citizen preferences into future research on architectural/urban design and planning.
