Abstract:

With regard to the problems of waterscape design in urban open spaces, this study is conducted from the citizens’ perspectives, questionnaire survey method and action observation method have been adopted to investigate people of different genders, ages, education levels, and occupations to look into their preference for three kinds of waterscape designs such as community parks, commercial squares, and residential areas in urban open spaces. The results indicate that people’s preference for the aesthetic features, forms, and movement patterns of water, and the relationship between humankind and water have direct relation with people’s overall characteristics and visit purposes. The experience design and culture thematic designs of water serve to broaden the appeal of waterscape designs in urban open spaces and to strengthen people’s senses of belonging.
