这项研究的中心目的是更深入地了解影响个人对各种景观设置偏好的因素。本文利用 2010 年夏天对居住在爱尔兰的 430 名个人进行的全国代表性调查，得出了代表 5 个不同景观类别的因变量（基于受访者对 47 张景观图像的平均评分的因子分析）。然后将这些变量用于单独的 OLS 回归模型，以检验个人特征、居住位置和环境价值取向对景观偏好的影响。首先，在视觉舒适度方面，结果表明，公众对以水相关特征为主导属性的景观有着最强烈的偏好，其次是文化景观。其次，结果还表明，景观偏好存在显着的异质性，因为个人特征和环境价值取向都被发现强烈影响所有所检查景观类型的偏好。此外，这些变量的影响在不同的景观分组中往往存在显着差异。在土地利用政策方面，由于偏好的多样性，一刀切的做法无法满足公众的需求和愿望。 (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
The central aim of this study was to gain greater insights into the factors that affect individuals' preferences for a variety of landscape settings. Using a nationally representative survey conducted in the summer of 2010 of 430 individuals living in Ireland, this paper derived dependent variables (based on a factor analysis of respondents mean ratings of 47 landscape images) representing 5 different landscape categories. These variables were then utilised in separate OLS regression models to examine the effect of personal characteristics, residential location and environmental value orientations on landscape preferences. First in terms of visual amenity the results suggest that the general public have the strongest preference for landscapes with water related features as its dominant attribute which was followed by cultural landscapes. Second the results also demonstrate how there is significant heterogeneity in landscape preferences as both personal characteristics and environmental value orientations were found to strongly influence preferences for all the landscape types examined. Moreover the effect of these variables often differed significantly across the various landscape groupings. In terms of land use policy, given the diversity of preferences a one size fits all approach will not meet the general publics' needs and desires. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
