본 연구는 부산항의 미항만들기를 위한 기초 연구로서 항만경관을 인식하는 사람을 전문가, 시민, 방문객으로 구분하고 부산항 항만 경관에 대한 각 그룹의 의식을 비교분석하는 실증적 연구이다. 연구내용으로는 부산항 항만경관에 대해 세 그룹이 가지는 의식특성을 알아보고 그룹들 사이에 존재하는 의식차이를 분석하며 항목별로 구체적인 의식 차이점을 살펴봄으로서 그 결과를 바탕으로 부산항 항만경관의 개선 대책을 제시한다. 연구결과 전문가, 시민, 방문객은 부산항 항만경관에 대한 의식에 차이를 나타내고 있으며 특히 전문가그룹은 시민 및 방문객 그룹과 여러 가지 측면에서 의식차이를 보이고 있는 반면에 시민과 방문객그룹 사이에는 의식차이가 분명하게 나타나지 않고 있다. 따라서 향후 항만경관의 개선 및 평가에서는 전문가와 일반인의 의식차이를 고려하여 두 그룹을 구분하고 각각의 견해를 비교분석하여 적절한 의견을 항만경관계획에 반영하는 것이 바람직하다.

In this study, for the purpose of landscape reformation and improvement of visual quality of port cities, a number of port cities, including the Port of Oakland, the Port of Osaka, the Port of Kobe, the Port of Hong Kong, the Port of Busan and the Port of Incheon, has been subjected to the analysis of the importance of landscape and the elements of landscape composition, with the aim of presenting a framework for the landscape management of ports and their surrounding areas by understanding the psychological and physiological effects of port landscape elements based on such analysis. The result is as follows: Five elements, 'pleasantness', 'sophistication' , 'robustness', 'uniqueness', and 'openness' have been extracted as the psychological elements of port landscape. Especially, robustness and sophistication are the properties that can only be felt from the port landscape that houses container structures that have been uncommon visual features of other sea marine landscapes. As for evaluation of pleasantness, artificial fixtures and port structures besides the port itself are the factors that damage the landscape, and especially, since container ports primarily are developed in the form of depression angle rather than wave angle due to the characteristics of their landscape, the quality of landscape deteriorates quickly if the maintenance of port areas away from the sea and their surrounding complexes are poorly managed. The result of the eye movement experiment showed that the high level of natural properties of visual objects corresponds to the high level of satisfaction on port landscape, and the larger the scale and the simpler the form of landscape composition elements, and the higher the harmony between these elements, the higher the level of satisfaction increased. Also, the distribution of visual point is concentrated on the facility that has a unique form, and is greatly influenced by waterline, writings on buildings and colors that stand out. Buildings are important elements in controlling port landscape, and the nomadability of these buildings determines the satisfaction level of the respective landscape. Also, vessels and cranes are applied as negative elements but the adjustment of their form or color can bring changes to the level of satisfaction. Psychological evaluation and physiological evaluation are not recognized as independent results from one another but rather is the display of such results in a series of processes where humans understand landscape. In-depth embodiment of the result of psychological evaluation can be useful in determining the detailed physical elements that affects port landscape.
