본 연구에서는 실제와 가상의 자연 그대로의 숲과 인위적으로 통제가 가능한 VR을 활용한 가상 숲에서의 체험이 성인의 심리적 또는 생리적으로 미치는 효과를 알아보기 위해 수행되었다. 실험은 자연 숲 환경과 외부 빛이 차단된 대학원세미나실에서 진행되었으며, 피험자는 성인 대학생 60명이 참가하였다. 실험은 심리적, 생리적 회복을 통해 자연 숲 환경과 VR 숲 환경에서의 효과를 비교 후 상태를 평가하였다. 심리적 측정 결과 피험자들은 자연 숲 환경과 VR 숲 환경에서 산림 경관을 체험 후에 PANAS를 통한 심리지수에서 긍정적 정서가 증가하고 부정적 정서가 감소되었 음을 확인하였고, 타액을 이용한 스트레스 지수인 코티졸을 측정한 결과 두 그룹에서 스트레스 지수가 유의하게 감소되 었음을 확인하였다. 거리상 이동의 제약 또는 거동이 불편 등 제약으로 인하여 자연 숲 환경에서 체험을 못하는 사람들 에게 VR 숲 환경에서 심리적, 생리적으로 회복 환경을 만들어주는데 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 이러한 연구의 결과가 산림 치유의 시각적 효과에 대한 기반이 되길 기대하고, 산림분야에서 4차 산업의 기술인 VR의 환용이 넓어지는 기반이 되길 기대한다.

질감, 모양, 색채 등 내용기반 영상검색(CBIR)의 기능을 이용하여 한국의 지리산 국립공원과 영국의 케이른고럼스 국립공원의 자연 경관에 있어서의 차이를 판별하는데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 먼저 각 국립공원의 자연경관을 디지털 사진영상으로 촬영한 후, 전형적인 경관사진을 선별하였다. 사진영상의 저단계 기능(Low-level function)이 계량화되어 수직적으로 회전된 다섯 개의 요인으로 축약되었다. 이 중 유의한 차이를 보이지 않은 물 관련 요인이 제외된 나머지 네 개의 요인에 근거한 판별선이 케이른고럼스 경관과 지리산 경관 사이에서 도출되어, 판별함수가 두 그룹을 유의하게 분할하였다(2(4)=61.433; p〈0.001). 고유치 2.417과 월크스 람다 0.293에 의하여 전체 변이가 두 그룹의 판별함수 평균의 차이에서 대부분 산출되었음을 확인하였다. 또한, 네 개의 독립변수가 종속변수 전체 분산의 70.7%를 설명하는 것으로 추정되었다. 경관에 대하여 가장 큰 효과를 나타내는 변수는 원거리관련 변수(r=1.073)이며, 다음으로 근거리관련 변수(r=0.896)였으며, 전체적으로 90.7%가 타당하게 분류되었다. 이는 케이른고럼스 국립공원과 지리산 국립공원 자연경관 사이에서 사진영상의 근거리 요인뿐만 아니라, 원거리 요인이 보다 경관 차이에 유의한 판별력을 보이는 것으로 해석되므로, 국립공원의 경관정체성과 관련한 원거리 스카이라인의 시각적 중요성을 보여주는 것이라 하겠다.

경관은 생태적인 공간구조와 인간에 의산 시각상의 두 개의 다른 측면을 가진다. 따라서 경관평가는 그 양면에서 평가가 이루어져야 할 것이다. 본 연구는 무등산도립공원에 대하여 생태 및 시각 특성의 양면에서 경관평가를 시도하고, 이것과 현재의 용도지구를 검토하였다. 그 결과 보존가치가 매우 높게 평가된 지역이 자연환경 지구로 지정되어 있으며 보존가치가 낮게 평가된 지역이 자연보존지구내에 존재하는 등 불합리하게 지정되어 있음이 지적되었다. 또 자연공원의 관리계획상, 생태평가와 시각평가에 기초한 경관평가를 실시하여 그 결과를 반영한 보존위주의 보다 합리적인 용도지구안을 제시하였다.

A Visual landscape planning and management system has been introduced and implemented by each ministry so as to solve the problems of visual landscape destruction due to recognition on the value of natural landscape of beautiful territory and various development projects. At present, this system emphasizes the importance of the visual and perceptual aspect of the landscape however, there is a lack of techniques required for comprehensively predicting, evaluating, and managing it. Furthermore, sustainable landscape management after the completion of development projects has been inadequately carried out, as the focus has been only on consultation in the planning process of the development project in institutional performance. To this end, we presented objective and standardized criteria to predict and judge the effects of development projects on landscapes before project implementation. During the implementation of the development project, the influence of the visual landscape becomes accumulated in the construction progress stage. There is a need to identify the main viewpoints and to examine the continuous changes in the landscape-influencing factors, owing to the remarkable influences on the landscape, such as the change in the topography and the change caused by the artificial structure. During the stage of managing the influence on the visual landscape after the completion of the project, the influence on landscape should be monitored by measuring the change in the continuous landscape-influencing factors and determining the extent to which the actual reduction plan has been implemented. These processes should be performed continuously to maintain the quality of the visual landscape. The change in the landscape caused by the development project is shown to cause relatively greater visual damage than other factors composing the landscape owing to the influence of the artificial factors including the structure or the building. This shows that not only detailed examination of the visual impact before the development project but also continuous management is required during and after the development project. For this purpose, we derived eight landscape-influencing factors including form/shape, line, color, texture, scale/volume, height, skyline, and landscape control point. The proposed considering to be of high utilization in that it has a clear target of the landscape influencing factors.

While cities became bigger and bigger since 1990s, many indiscretely high buildings started to be built in the mountain areas inside a city and in the rural areas in the suburb of each city. To regulate such indiscrete developments, the government prepared for some relevant legal and institutional criteria by having enacted the “Landscape Act” and established a strong management means in the legal and institutional aspects by having introduced the natural landscape deliberation system and the landscape deliberation one into the “Natural Environment Conservation Act.” However, since some uniform levels of absolute height and no. of stories are suggested legally and institutionally, it is hard to consider the effects of a real building structure onto the relevant landscape. Accordingly, this thesis is intended to grasp the contrast of the landscape elements in the allowable height section, which is presented through landscape sensitivity. As the results from the visual contrast rating on a small apartment complex located in Dangjin and a large scale of apartment complex in Seosan as the apartment complexes surrounded with natural landscapes that were selected as the subjects of this study, the following conclusion can be finalized. First, there were deducted some factors, that is, forms, lines, colors, textures and sizes as the ones with which can measure and evaluate the contrasting properties when a structure gets into a natural landscape. Second, in case of a small scale of apartment complex (in the foreground) compared to a large one (in the foreground), it was found that the contrasting properties were bigger. In addition, it was also found that the contrasting property of the landscape factor of the foreground compared to that of the middle one becomes bigger depending on a distance. Third, as the results from an evaluation on the contrasting properties of the landscape factor depending on the changes of each floor of a structure, it was found that the factors, that is, forms, lines, colors, textures and sizes are very significant. Among those factors, the factors, forms and lines in a small scale of apartment complex (in the foreground) showed each log regression. But in all of the other cases, they showed each line regression. Fourth, as the results from examining the regression coefficients of the landscape factor, the coefficients of the shapes and lines have similar coefficients and the colors and the textures have similar ones, too. In case of the sizes of apartment complexes, the colors and the textures of a large apartment complex (in the foreground) have similar coefficients, in case of that in the middle ground, the shapes and lines have similar coefficients. Fifth, as the results from estimating the contrasting properties of the landscape factor on the floors within the allowed scope of the landscape sensitivity, it was found that the contrasting property was 3.5 to 4.9 in case of a small scale of apartment complex (in the foreground), but 2.5to 3.7 in case of a small scale of one. In case of a large scale of apartment complex, the value was 3.5 to 5.3, but in case of a large one in the middle ground was 2.9 to 4.9. Sixth, it was comprehended that the contrasting properties of the landscape factor become different depending on each size of apartment complex and the distance of a view point. In this study, it is intended to find the meaning from the aspect that the results can be used as the baseline data for comprehending a proper range of heights of structures objectively during a natural landscape deliberation or a landscape deliberation.

As high-rise buildings came in, the landscape of rural areas and natural landscapes often got damaged. Therefore, this study aims to prevent this, grasp the extent of the influence of the surrounding landscape, to grasp the range of height that can be permitted and present the direction of landscape management of agriculture and natural landscape. This study tried to grasp the range of height by using price sensitivity analysis method for two apartment and apartment complex which entered DangJin city and SeoSan city. First, in the case of a two apartment, the range of the height allowable section was from the 6th floor to the 11th floor in close range view, and it was a section from the 7th floor to the 12th floor in medium range view. In the case of the apartment complex, the range of the height allowable range was from the 10th floor to the 17th floor in close range view, the 9th floor to the 16th floor in medium range view. The stress index was found to be positive in a two apartment in close range view, and in the apartment complex case. therefore it was better to set it to a lower in the Range of Acceptable Height(RAH). Second, it showed no difference in the sensitivity of landscape to gender. Thirdly, the results of the landscape sensitivity analysis of major and non-major showed the difference in the medium range view picture of the apartment complex. Majors are lower than the point of minimum height(PMinH) than non-Majors. In the case of major, the stress index was 1.4. it turned out that it was better to make a decision closer to point of minimum height (PMinH). In the case of non-major, the stress index was –1.3. it was also able to accept decision close to the point of maximum height (PMaxH). Since the results of the above research gave changes only in the variable of the height of the landscape, we can not grasp the point of interaction with other variables, and future research is considered necessary.

Due to the rapid economic development of Korea, the bridge have been built by government over the several years. Additionally, there are too many mountain and river and the bridge have been built in rural area. But bridge designers weren't considering the bridge landscape. And bridge was a negative factor in regional landscape. Because of this, this study surveyed the landscape preferences of rural bridge landscapes according to different bridge types. The results were summarized as follows: And this research include conducting a study on visual preference according to the bridge's type and background. And, the landscape of arch bridge in the river 1 is landscape of the highest preference. The the landscape of girder bridge in the river 2 is landscape of the lowest preference. In the river 1 and 2 landscape, high preference is observed in the arch bridge and low preference is noted in the girder bridge. In the mountain 1 and 2 landscape, high preference is observed in the cable-stayed bridge and low preference is noted in the girder bridge. In conclusion, the visual preference of bridge landscape depend on the background and bridge shape, the study said. Therefore, when bridge designer design the bridge, designer have to choose proper bridge shape according to the background. This research was conducted only in bridge landscape of rural area but the visual preference of bridge landscape can be changed according to the various background. And further research is needed to analyze visual preference of bridge landscape according to the various background.

Recently, because there is an interesting for eco-green growth project for Simple and gray concrete structures shall be improved. This research is a eco-friendly study on the roads on landscape structure.

In Korea, a regulation of visual impact evaluation on development plan in natural environment is provided at the Natural Environment Conservation Act, but it was difficult to obtained the effectiveness enough to conserve natural landscape. So, the visual impact review on development plan is introduced to the act, through the revision of the Natural Environment Conservation Act in 2005. The basic directions of visual impact review are preservation, restoration, view protection, and harmony. The items of review are as follows; (1) development alternations for the provided plan, (2) executive reduction plan of visual impacts including consideration of growth of plants, (3) deliberation process between persons or parties concerned, etc. For rapid settlement of visual impact review system, it needs that the validity, the reliability, and the objectivity should be confirmed through steady research about reasonable guidance of review.

Recently, it is demanded to study about landscape. Landscape is an environment factor for improving life, a social resource for establishing image and identity of the area and also a tourist resource for earning profit. With this importance, landscape planning is being performed by local governments. However, classification for a rule about landscape planning is not prepared yet. For this purpose, classification of landscape is definitely required. Therefore, this article focuses on presenting method of classification Natural and Rural Landscape. We used Arcview 3.2 to draw watershed of the site, and calculated the percent of landform. We also took a picture which explain the landscape and made a survey of classifying the landscape. Due to this study, we were able to frame an algorithm of the landscape classification. This will contribute to classify the landscape type. This study needs more specific researches because it was supposed to target the entire Gyeonggi-Do however it only covered several regions. Through this results, it would be expected to develop the map of landscape character.

The color and structure of urban constructions is a factor of urban landscape and shows their characteristics. Hence the modern buildings deal with their materials and external appearance as an important factor, making up the urban image. But it was nearby impossible to evaluate the value of visual landscape with objective measuring method. Most of all, it depends on the subjective estimation of a few talented or high educated experts with a sense of beauty. Such kinds of estimation can in some cases include arbitrary interpretations. In relation to this kind of problems, it is tried here in this study to analyse the human response of brain wave pattern (EEG) with use of SD method, while the tested persons watch the urban landscape scenery constructed in a visual reality. The tested persons were 20 adult male and female with no color blindness and intact cognitive function. Light source with color filter was used for color environment in a dark soundproof chamber. The signal of EEG is analysed digitally and grouped into the α and β waves. The result showed that relative power of α wave ratio increased in the natural landscape scenery with blue and green color. From these results it was possible to evaluate the human response, which is affected by urban and natural color and structure stimulation and it might be useful as an indicator of visual cognition amenity toward the design of urban construction environment.
