“…De Lucio et al (1996) reported tendencies toward differences in viewing strategies between men and women. However, their study also had a small sample (12 men and five women) and used free viewing without a task, thus individual differences probably influenced their results.…”

Tracking Restorative Components: Patterns in Eye Movements as a Consequence of a Restorative Rating Task

2013

Eye tracking was used to investigate the task of assessing how likely it is that one would be able to rest and recover in small urban spaces and how it affects the view pattern. We assess which environmental components, for example, flowers and trees, participants look at when evaluating restoration likelihood. Further, we compare number of fixations in restorative and nonrestorative park photos. Photos were selected based on ratings of low and high likelihood of restoration. Participants were asked to imagine themselves in need of restoration. Photos were presented for 10 seconds each. In contrast to studies adapting a free viewing approach, the present study shows that image properties such as contrast and colour did not attract attention; instead participants looked at components that were of importance for assessing restoration likelihood. The components participants looked at the most were trees, followed by benches and bushes. This presents new information on people's view patterns in relation to the task of rating restoration likelihood. In addition, relations between the park components at which participants looked the most and the ratings on restoration likelihood were explored. As expected, we found a positive correlation between grass and restoration likelihood. The relations were negative for all other variables, although not significant. The negative relations were rather unexpected, and possible explanations for them are discussed. Finally, we analysed the association between number of fixations and restoration likelihood ratings, and no correlation was found.

“…The articles found using landscape scenes all adopted free viewing (Berto et al, 2008;De Lucio et al, 1996;Gratzer & McDowell, 1971;Keul et al, 2005;Wenger & Videbeck, 1969), where participants explore the photos without being given a task or a question to answer.…”

“…Both women and men in the groups studied perceived the landscape in a similar manner during weather that impacted them either positively or negatively. The extant literature, in turn, demonstrated certain differences between the exploration strategies of men and women into the natural landscapes, for example, De Lucio et al [81]. According to these authors, women more often than men used a systematic landscape review strategy and were more interested in various fragments of the analyzed view.…”

The Impact of Biometeorological Conditions on the Perception of Landscape

et al. 2019

A landscape is part of our daily lives and our perception of its features may significantly impact our quality of life. This article presents the results of research aimed at determining the influence of biometeorological conditions on the way in which we perceive the landscape. An eye tracker was used throughout each season of the year to determine how 52 respondents observed the landscape while taking into consideration whether the landscape had a favorable or unfavorable impact on those same respondents. Additionally, each test was preceded by the completion of a questionnaire intended to assess the mental and physical state of each respondent. The calculated eye movement indexes demonstrated the impact of the biometeorological conditions on their perception of the landscape. Statistically significant differences in their perception of the landscape were ascertained depending on the type of weather and the respondents’ general feeling irrespective of their sex.
