“…The color number, ratio, and layout differences can form varied color-area ratios and convey different emotional tones [14,15]. Human beings obtain 80% of their information through vision, while color is the most sensitive and direct visual information symbol, affecting people's psychological perceptions [23]. Existing studies rarely quantify landscape colors through image analysis [24].…”

The color–area ratio in ethnic minority areas is one way to perceive cultural elements visually. The openness of spaces, sense of rhythm, and richness of color affect people’s emotions and induce different psychological perceptions. Despite many ethnic minority areas being more colorful than the main traits of Han, there is no systematic quantitative study for the color elements in ethnic minority areas’ landscapes, not to mention the research on the color–area ratio, main and auxiliary colors and embellishments, and layouts. Therefore, this paper studies the color–area ratio of Xiangcheng County in the Tibetan area of Ganzi Prefecture in Sichuan Province. Colors are extracted and quantitatively analyzed from six different aspects using the semantic differential (SD) method and color quantitative analysis method. In this way, low-scored (B group) and high-scored (A group) color landscape samples were extracted from the landscape image library and quantitatively analyzed by ColorImpact V4.1.2. The results show that the ethnic minority group’s color layout is characterized by richer colors and stronger contrasts than the Han group. This paper contributes to academic scholarship regarding color culture in ethnic minority areas. It also provides theoretical support for preserving ethnic minority groups’ cultural heritage and practical insights into color planning for urban and landscape designs.

“…For the human component, we were interested in who is being studied and how the study samples reflect the broader population that might participate in or could benefit from forest therapy. We were also interested in whether particular individuals or groups varied in their experiences or outcomes from forest therapy engagements [32,33]. For the forest component, our primary interest was in identifying important features and qualities of the forest environment that give rise to, or are thought to give rise to, therapeutic forest experiences.…”

While most definitions of forest therapy emphasize the role of multisensory, immersive experiences in nature to achieve human health and wellbeing outcomes, reviews of research on forest therapy to date have predominantly focused on outcomes and provide limited insight on the factors and conditions that give rise to nature experiences. In this scoping review we employ a conceptual framework developed in the context of landscape perception research to examine empirical studies of forest therapy in terms of how the fuller process of human, forest, interaction, and outcome components are conceptualized and measured. Our literature search identified 266 studies focused on forest therapy and related activities, which were coded on a number of variables related to each of the four components in our framework. While most studies reported positive mental and/or physiological health outcomes using a wide array of measures, the typical study used small, homogeneous samples of participants who engaged in limited interactions with a forest environment that was minimally described. However, our analysis also identified a wider range of findings with regard to human-forest interactions, which together provide important insights for guiding forest therapy research and the provision of forest therapy trails, settings, and programs.

“…The respondents were aged between 18 and 60 years. The two age categoriesunder 40 and over 40-were determined based on the results of another work [39] featuring two age groups, from 18 to 39 years and 40 to 60 years, with similar responses within each group and differences between the groups. Local respondents were all permanent residents in the landscape.…”

Differences in Visual Preference in Rural Landscapes on the Plain of La Mancha in Spain

For centuries, agricultural activities have marked and defined the landscape with its own distinctive features. The consideration of the rural landscape as a resource has gained traction in recent years. In Europe, the European Landscape Convention offers a solid framework that places landscape at the forefront of European policies on cultural heritage, environment, and territorial ordination. The most important new development is the integrated vision of the landscape in its cultural and natural aspects, and the introduction of its social dimension. This work analyses the influence of different factors on preferences for rural landscapes in the locality of Campo de Criptana (Ciudad Real), representative of the singular rural landscape of the La Mancha plain. The method for assessing landscape is the people’s aesthetic response to it. Specifically, an analysis has been made of the observers’ preferences in relation to their educational level (university educated or not), gender, age, and place of origin (whether they come from the locality itself or from outside). This is one of the few works that analyse the place of origin of the observer. In view of these results, it can be concluded that all the demographic factors analysed have an influence on preferences in rural landscapes.
