This study aims to understand the their characteristics and analyze the diverse landscape plants distributed in the traditional temples. We surveyed the landscape plants that the planting species around building and terraced flower bed, excluded the spontaneous species. The contents of analysis were form, leaf fall and type, exotic species and the Buddhist symbol plant. Mostly, the families of landscape plants that rosaceae, compositae and liliaceae were much used. The rosaceae were used in landscape planting, and compositae and liliaceae were used in terraced flower bed and flower garden. Especially, a single planting, a linear planting and symmetrical planting most occupied in the planting types. This reason seemed the object and function of religion. There were lots of trees and shrubs in the form, and they were main material for formation of landscape and frame. Therefore, the temple landscape was composed of landscape plants and planting types and fell into chime with these components. The deciduous broad leaved was many in the leaf fall and type. The aesthetic value is a deciduous broad leaved directed by the external features of nutrition and reproductive organs with plants and flowers, recording, leaves, fruits, and non-seasonal forms along with the variety of landscapes inspectors by providing visual variety, because expression. Exotic species were introduced intentionally, unintentionally for a variety of purposes in a foreign species, naturalized plants invasive species was the wild country to adapt to the environment. Exotic materials will have to be rejected unconditionally, but indiscriminate use of space in a traditional review of the planting material is necessary because of the high potential to inhibit and distort the traditional landscape. Buddhist symbol plant is a very important feature as plants that have the least Buddhist doctrine and has a meaning and a symbol representing the Buddhist, the inspectors can show the difference with other scenic areas.

The traditional temple in the urban landscape is a place of historical and cultural heritage with ethnic values within the city. However, when viewed in a landscape perspective, several problems are implied. This is because the temple is restricted within the territories of the temple when there is a great need for space for gatherers and tourists. Thus, a dissimilar landscape planning and management system from the current traditional temple is required. In this study, the landscape of the traditional temple in the city viewed from Bongeunsa temple grounds was set as the study area and the representative viewpoints within the temple grounds were used as a base of describing the landscape's image and the factors of the landscape preference was also derived. These factors were then used as a base to create the landscape preference map for the region of Bongeunsa temple to present a visual representative of the place. The factors showed a significant impact on the landscape of Bongeunsa temple were selected to aesthetics, amiability and complexity. The higher the preference of these factors was, the higher the preference was for the landscape as well. The factors representing the landscape image and the landscape map according to the landscape preference of the temple were created to allow regions that showed both low and high levels in the landscape image and preference within the grounds to be visually classified and regions that needed improvements were also displayed. Furthermore, it also allowed elements to be extracted from it. The results of this study was an attempt in creating the landscape map formed based on the landscape of the temple grounds.
