Evaluating Public Perception for Environmental Attributes of the Zengcheng Greenway (Guangzhou)

Abstract:

As an important urban open green space system, greenway provides a place for people to play and leisure activities, which has ecological, recreational, cultural, aesthetic characteristics. This study investigates public perception toward environmental attributes of the greenway system in an urban setting. The goal of the study was to understand the perceived environmental quality of the Zengcheng greenway within diverse landscape elements composing the greenways main spatial and visual structure. We utilized public perceptual judgments as indicators of environmental quality, and referred to a psychophysical method to assess the environmental attributes of Zengcheng greenway. Through the investigation, including document analysis, the site exploration, questionnaire and interview, this paper reaches a conclusion whether the Zengcheng greenway meets the actual demands of practical use, therefore it comes up with scientific and practical suggestions for the design of greenway in the future.
