Abstract: Planners, designers, environmental specialists, governmental agencies, non-profit environmental organizations, and citizens are interested in scientifically based tools to assist in the study of the landscape. In this investigation, we present a science based visual and environmental quality predictive model useful in understanding and assessing landscape treatments of the contemporary Chinese, French, and Portuguese populations. We developed respondent based equations of visual and environmental quality preference that explain between 20 and 40 percent of respondent preference, with an overall p-value for the equation <0.0001 and a p-value < 0.05 for each regressor. Regressors employed in the equation include an environmental quality index, foreground vegetation, area of vehicles, area of water, and area of humans in an image. The French and Portuguese have similar perceptions but in many respects the Chinese response is quite different than equations that exp!
lain Western landscape preference where the equations can predict much more of the variance. The study suggests that Chinese landscape perception may be quite different than Western perception. In addition, more thought may be required to develop predictors of both Chinese and European preference.
