Method of Landscape Visual Quality Assessment of Parks

A new evaluation method was established for landscape visual quality assessment of parks,namely superimposed analysis method in and outside of the park.Based on the observation and assessment,the analysis method was composed of 6 evaluation factors which include proportion of natural landscape in the park,permutation and combination of natural landscape in the park,coordination of landscape buildings and natural landscape in the park,proportion of artificial buildings outside of the park,the distance between observation point and artificial buildings outside of the park and visual leading of artificial buildings outside of the park.Then the method was applied to Zizhuyuan park which was a typical urban park and a typical country park called Dongxiaokou park.The applied result showed that the comprehensive superimposed analysis method could not only distinguish urban park from country park according its visual characteristics but also provided a basis for the planning management in the park and space control outside of it.
