Yoji AOKI （Open University of Japan）

Abstract:
The study of the psychological evaluation of the landscape was begun in the 1960s, and has become popular in many countries and is curently progressing. In this paper, I examined the researches which have been published in major English-language journals, e.g. Landscape and Urban Planning, Landscape Research, Environmental Management, Environment and Behavior, Environmental Psychology and others until 2013. Based on the process of the phenomenon of landscape experiences and appreciation, this historical review was divided into 5 parts. They are (1) understandings of landscape appreciation, (2) attributes of respondents, i. e. the observers, (3) appreciations of landscape, i.e. the items of psychological evaluations, (4) focal objects in the landscape and their observation methods, and (5) analytical methods and their results for planning proposals. In this paper, I have discussed parts of (1) to (3) and parts of (4) to (5) will be discussed in a subsequent paper.

Key Word:
