Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS), which was developed based on the attention Restoration theory, can be regarded as important, since it helps in finding out garden restoration mechanisms and factors that can be applied to garden components or design directivity that a user requires. However, PRS shows sub-factors, which differ from domestic studies, or has a problem with reliability. In addition, there has been a shortage of studies on new factors considering individual environments. Therefore, this study designed a PRS to be used in garden environments by newly applying Hartig et al.’s PRS (26 components) and RPRS (Revised PRS with 16 components, which is mainly used in Korea and pleasantness that is predicted, based on perceived restorativeness of garden. The study finding displayed that the traditional PRS (26 components) could explain restoration-related variables better and when pleasantness was additionally applied, the explanatory power of restoration-related variables was extremely high.
