Construction Research by Introducing Sense of Place into Cultural Landscape Design in Ethnic Areas: A Tentative Approach to Intensify Place Identity

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cultural landscape reflects the historical and traditional heritage of a place and has a symbolic significance and function. Place identity is a kind of psychological experience gradually achieved through perception, acceptation and satisfaction with a place and by living for some time in certain environment. The widespread and rapid acceleration of modernization and globalization lead to many places achieving "non-places" characteristics and homogenous landscapes, even in ethnic areas. This construction research attempts to grasp the inner relationship between cultural landscape and place identity in ethnic areas, and introduce the theory of sense of place and some methods that may shape rational cultural landscapes, seek some specific constructing measures to make the cultural landscapes more harmonious with environment, hence to enhance and strengthen place identify of ethnic groups and cultivate the delicate physical culture landscape against the background of emerging globalization.
