Abstract
Interpreting landscape preferences based on a single visual attribute easily leads to context-specific bias, limiting practical applications. This study examines the interactive effects of compositional attributes of visual greenness (Greenness) and richness of compositional elements (Richness), along with the organizational attribute of Scenography type, on preferences for urban woodland landscapes. A total of 121 participants rated their preferences for photographs depicting 54 urban woodland scenes, each varying in Richness and Greenness and categorized into six Scenography types. Linear Mixed Models revealed a significant interaction between Richness and Greenness in determining landscape preferences. Additionally, the interaction between Richness and Greenness on landscape preference was moderated by the organizational attribute, resulting in distinct patterns across various Scenography types. Some exhibited reinforcing effects between attributes, while others had a single prominent attribute that undermined the effects of the other. This article presents these interactions based on the developed model and discusses the above patterns regarding compositional and organizational visual attributes and preference from a theoretical perspective, providing practical suggestions for design and management. The results clearly signify the necessity of understanding landscape preference with an interactive perspective, and highlighted some key knowledge gaps that need to be addressed to support deeper and broader explorations.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Environmental Psychology is the premier journal in the field, serving individuals in a wide range of disciplines who have an interest in the scientific study of the transactions and interrelationships between people and their surroundings (including built, social, natural and virtual environments, the use and abuse of nature and natural resources, and sustainability-related behavior). The journal publishes internationally contributed empirical studies and reviews of research on these topics that advance new insights. As an important forum for the field, the journal publishes some of the most influential papers in the discipline that reflect the scientific development of environmental psychology. Contributions on theoretical, methodological, and practical aspects of all human-environment interactions are welcome, along with innovative or interdisciplinary approaches that have a psychological emphasis. Research areas include: •Psychological and behavioral aspects of people and nature •Cognitive mapping, spatial cognition and wayfinding •Ecological consequences of human actions •Theories of place, place attachment, and place identity •Environmental risks and hazards: perception, behavior, and management •Perception and evaluation of buildings and natural landscapes •Effects of physical and natural settings on human cognition and health •Theories of proenvironmental behavior, norms, attitudes, and personality •Psychology of sustainability and climate change •Psychological aspects of resource management and crises •Social use of space: crowding, privacy, territoriality, personal space •Design of, and experiences related to, the physical aspects of workplaces, schools, residences, public buildings and public space
