许多因素影响庭院护理在城市和郊区，但前与后院之间的显着差异是一个因素，尚未得到充分研究。本文介绍了景观鲻鱼的概念。这一概念的两个关键组成部分是：（1）社会规范是庭院管理的重要驱动力;（2）这些规范的影响在空间上从正面（公共）到背面（私人）各不相同。2016年夏天，在美国马里兰州巴尔的摩的六个社区进行了36次半结构化访谈。我们发现，庭院护理实践的社会压力并没有均匀地表达在前/后院。此外，在我们研究的六个社区中，有五个社区的前/后不均匀性是真实的，这表明前/后，公共/私人的区别似乎并不是特定于社区的。这项研究扩展了以前的工作，在院子里照顾社会压力的作用。未来的研究应该考虑这种异质性的空间尺度的社会和环境的原因。
Many factors influence yard care in urban and suburban areas, but the explicit difference between front versus back yards is one factor that has not been fully examined. This paper introduces the Landscape Mullet concept. The two key components of this concept are: (1) social norms are an important driver of yard management; and (2) the influence of those norms varies spatially between front (public) to back (private). Thirty-six semi-structured interviews were conducted in six neighborhoods of Baltimore, MD, USA in the summer of 2016. We found that social pressures for yard care practices were not evenly expressed across front/back yards. Moreover, this front/back unevenness holds true in five out of the six neighborhoods we studied, indicating that the front/back, public/private distinction does not appear to be neighborhood-specific. This research extends prior work on the role of social pressures in yard care. Future research should consider this spatial scale of heterogeneity for social and environmental reasons.
