黑人和白人的娱乐活动之间存在着实质性的差异。然而，在环境偏好的相关领域，许多文化群体普遍存在一致意见。尽管如此，存在一些差异的研究结果表明，进一步探索黑人和白色对附近自然环境的偏好是适当的。本文件讨论三个具体问题。在偏好方面是否存在重大的种族差异？是否有可识别的环境变量造成这种差异？如果存在差异，它们是否反映了对建筑和自然环境的不同偏好？一个文献综述和一个三阶段的照片研究的结果提出了这些问题的答案。实质性的偏好差异确实存在，而且它们显示出惊人的一致模式。与此同时，黑人和白人显然都非常重视他们附近的自然环境。这是日常环境的一个重要方面，需要设计和管理解决方案，以应对这些种族偏好的变化。
Substantial differences have been found between the recreational pursuits of blacks and whites. In the related area of environmental preference, however, agreement generally exists across many cultural groups. None the less, the existence of some discrepant findings suggests that further explorations of black and white preferences for the nearby natural environment are appropriate. This paper addresses three specific issues. Are there substantial ethnic differences in preference? Are there identifiable environmental variables underlying such differences? If differences exist, do they reflect differing preferences for built as opposed to natural settings? A literature review and the results of a three-phase photograph study suggest answers to these questions. Substantial preference differences do exist, and they show strikingly consistent patterns. At the same time, blacks and whites clearly share a very high regard for their nearby natural surroundings. This is a vital aspect of the everyday environment which requires design and management solutions that are responsive to these ethnic variations in preferences.
