Relation of quantitative index and subjective evaluation for sequence landscape in Oze national park

Abstract

There are many kinds of landscape materials in Oze national park. Visitors of the Oze can be seen such materials as sequence landscapes due to walking on boardwalks. Some subjective evaluations of the landscape at individual positions were performed by image survey. Therefore, in order to extract interesting position with characteristic landscape, sequence landscape in Oze should be also evaluated. Moreover, the landscapes during the walking are analyzed continuously. On the other hand, landscape analysis is needed for some viewpoints which are not only subjective but also objective understanding. Particularly, in order to acquire stable data for landscape, acquisition of quantitative data is useful. Therefore, relation between such quantitative data and subjective data is concretized, and more reliable landscape analysis is become possible. As the method of quantitative data acquisition for landscape, fractal analysis is adopted by several situations. Relation between such fractal dimension and the subjective evaluation by human are analyzed, and it is expected that the fractal analysis can be proposed as an objective evaluation method for landscape. In these circumstances, the fractal analysis and image survey for sequence landscape were performed by using image sequences, and relation between results of both investigations in this paper.

<b>Analyzing Current Trends in Academic Perspectives and Social Concerns on Landscape Matters</b>

“…Moreover, Kunii and Furuya's (2010) analyzed sequential landscapes using quantitative methods in National Parks 19) . In addition, Kunii and Furuya's continuing study also surveyed public evaluations and revealed the relationship between quantitative data and subjective evaluations 20) (Kunii and Furuya, 2011). All in all, natural landscape research was found to have a high affinity for quantitative evaluations.…”
