The Visual Landscape Cluster Analysis of Qishan National Forest Park Based on GIS and AHP

Abstract:

This paper uses Qishan National Forest Park as a sample to apply step analysis and cluster analysis on 14 attractions in this park by GIS spatial analysis function. To be more exact, based on planar space theory, visibility, continuity, clarity, comfort and other six factors were selected to be analyzed. Results provide that one attraction has the best landscape resource, six attractions own better landscape resource, two attractions is general and five spots are poor. The results are used to verify the feasibility of landscape visual assessment model which is based on GIS technology. Furthermore, this would also provide technical support for the visual landscape assessment of forest park.
