Abstract:
Researchers' attempts to provide an objective, analytical basis for understanding observers perceptual preferences for landscapes is the basis of the field of landscape perception research. Within this field a series of paradigms have evolved around which the majority of research has been centered. One of these, the experiential paradigm focuses on the multi-sensory nature of mars relationship with the landscape. This study seeks to define a scope of dynamic variables effecting landscape perception and their impact on landscape preference.A study site in rural Indiana was selected and a loop trail was laid out to provide access to the site. Sixteen sites along the trail were defined as experiential test sites and were field marked and photographed. A test group was guided through the study area and was asked to give a preference rating for each site on a five point scale as well as in an open ended verbal response. Two weeks following the on site testing the same group was asked to provide preference ratings in the laboratory for slides of the same 16 sites experienced in the field.The resulting data was analyzed to determine to what extent dynamic variables were impacting preference for landscape experiences. Multisensory elements of the environment were found to have a direct impact on preference. This was reflected in both verbal and scaled preference data. In addition to this, experiential preference wwas also determined to be associated with the sequence in which experiences occurred. The linkage provided by transitional landscapes encountered as respondents progressed between test sites proved to be an important element of experiential preference. This 'clustering' effect was evident in the laboratory as well as in the field.T he results of this, research illustrate the importance of dynamic variables as essential components of landscape preference. This study further supports the use of verbal response formats as a method for determining the true scope of perceptual variables attributing to preference. In conjunction with this, the importance of transition landscapes and experiential sequencing identified in this research merits additional study in order to more precisely define the structure of the human / landscape interaction.

Abstract:

This qualitative case study explores the intersection of social justice pedagogy and Outdoor Experiential Education (OEE) sense of place and belonging curriculum. The purpose of this study was to gain a comprehensive understanding of, and engage in critical analysis of how students systematically marginalized by race, ethnicity, and/or class experienced sense of place and belonging in OEE. Data was collected through in-depth interviews of OEE Students and Interns of Color, and White OEE field instructors at one program site, as well as through the critical textual analysis of program materials. Theoretical and conceptual frameworks for this study used Critical Race Theory, critical multiculturalism, the cultural construction of the Outdoors, and core concepts from OEE scholarship. Data analyses revealed existing institutional and curricular inequities in OEE for Students of Color. To address these systemic inequities, findings supported the adoption of social justice pedagogy across the field of OEE. Specific recommendations for future practice as a result of the research included the implementation of equity and inclusion trainings for field instructors, professional development programs for OEE field instructors and administrators of Color, and the development of curriculum across the field of OEE to understand the implications of the cultural construction of the Outdoors in order to better serve a racially and ethnically diverse OEE student population.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores aspects of everyday experience and the creation of place within the Iron Age island landscapes of the Outer Hebrides. While investigations of place and landscape, as experiential phenomena, are well developed in the context of Neolithic and Bronze Age research such approaches have been largely neglected within British Iron Age studies and in the study of the Outer Hebridean Iron Age more specifically. A hitherto focus upon ritual landscapes partly explains the lack of uptake within British Iron Age contexts more frequently defined by concepts of domesticity. The experience of place and landscape, however, are not only of significance within 'ritual' contexts but play an important role in the shaping of human action in the realm of the everyday. Instead, the principal barrier appears to be methodological - how does one go about investigating everyday experiences within prehistoric landscapes? A major component of this research has therefore been to explore and develop a methodology for this research. Current archaeological practice provides two contrasting methods for the study of landscape experience - one rooted in the analysis of field observations, inspired more directly by phenomenology, and the other via the application of GIS as a means of modeling landscapes from the perspective of human engagement. Despite much shared theoretical ground there remains little dialogue between practitioners of these respective approaches. It is proposed, however, that both approaches can make valued contributions to our understanding of the past and this thesis aims to contribute to an emerging discourse between what are commonly conceived as contradictory methods of enquiry. By exploring the character and diversity of island landscape settlement locales and the everyday experiences of Iron Age places this research offers an alternative framework for understanding the Iron Age societies of the Outer Hebrides.

Encouraging creativity is an important part of a child’s education and often not adequately supported by outdoor school environments. Contemporary playgrounds are designed in response to perceptions of liability and a limited interpretation of child development. Prefabricated plastic constructions and expanses of asphalt are poor initiators of creative expression. This project proposes a more stimulating, artistically crafted alternative to the typical playground. Beginning with documented research of play, the project layers psychology, education and humanities to form an understanding of how formal space affects human experience. More specifically, poetry, land art, sculpture, narrative and character studies inform the design solution for a 6.4 acre site at Northview Elementary School in Manhattan, Kansas. Integrated design provides children a meaningful experience of space and direct contact with nature. This design encourages imaginative and creative play, expanding the experiential quality of a contemporary playground.

Abstract:
This study presents a systematic assessment of landscape experiences in the state of Arizona through the use of mail survey techniques. It investigates how residents perceive and experience the everyday nonurban landscape and identifies where valued landscape experiences occur, what activities are associated with those locations and why those places and activities are highly valued. Geographic and socio-economic differences in landscape experiences are explored among survey respondents and information is provided to resource managers for predicting valued outdoor activities and environmental experiences. The overall aims of this research were to develop ways of studying environmental experiences that would: (1) identify the places, the activities, and the reasons for engaging in those activities related to outdoor experiences; (2) indicate the relationships among these three components; and (3) assess the probable influence of personal background characteristics and place of residence variables upon these judgments, choices, and relationships. Findings suggest considerable agreement among respondents on the components of valued landscape experiences and show that different landscape types are supportive of different outdoor activities and of different kinds of experiences. Also revealed was a tendency by respondents to select items occupying positions at the beginning of reponse listings. Analyses also indicate few significant relationships between components of valued landscape experiences and socio-economic characteristics of respondents and between components of valued landscape experiences place of residence variables including geographic location, community size, and familiarity with or awareness of specific landscapes.

According to Barbara Hendricks, play environment designer and consultant, “If we want children to grow up with a zest for living we need to give them living spaces that express life as a grand experience.” Hendricks emphasizes playtime is important for children to process formal lessons (Hendricks 2011). This applied design research project seeks to facilitate child development through an experiential learning playscape while addressing stormwater management for Bluemont Elementary School. The central research question of this project is: How can school playgrounds be designed to afford children improved social interactions and experiential learning? An exploration of landscape affordances theory (Sanseter and Hansen 2009, Heft 1988) and experiential learning (Kolb 1984), combined with social interactions and cognitive child development (Addo-Atuah 2012), formed a theory base for the project. Playground observations, stakeholder surveys, stakeholder interviews, and site inventory and analysis informed the eventual design. Major factors influencing students’ play include age, playground rules, equipment available for use, and weather. Site conditions, including topography and site drainage, can also influence students’ play. In current conditions, stormwater is a schoolyard liability restricting play and safe site circulation. The researcher gathered insights from student surveys, playground observations, teacher interviews, and site inventory and analysis to complete a comprehensive master plan. The comprehensive master plan and detailed stormwater management plan address the schoolyard over the next twenty to fifty year outlook. The designs resolve practical issues while increasing the variety of site educational and play affordances available to students and teachers for play and learning. A primary goal of the detailed plan is to convert stormwater schoolyard liabilities into amenities and educational tools.

The groundbreaking discovery of nuclear fission opened up new possibilities for generating power and resources for people. Nuclear energy was much preferred over fossil fuel because of its efficiency in production, availability of resources, and cost. However, the reoccurring nuclear disasters around the world provoke us to reconsider the future of nuclear energy. This thesis acknowledges the contemporary issues particularly surrounding nuclear waste contamination and the risks that associated toxins present to human health and the existing ecosystem. The risk of exposure to radioactive materials and groundwater contamination can be reduced with proven technological methods but the public perception of nuclear waste treatment remains a daunting deterrent, preventing people from confronting the waste management issues effectively. The thesis investigates ways to create new typology of remedial infrastructure where nuclear waste management technologies can co-exist with cultural programs; the new typology becomes an instrument that helps people to rethink the future of nuclear energy. The Experiential Bridge enables greater adoption of environmentally friendly nuclear waste treatment by exposing the process to the public and creating an educational experience for people. The Experiential Bridge not only treats toxins, but also serves as a pathway for recreational activity, and a source of education for the treatment of contaminated water and soil.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis explores how the landscape, or the physical environment in general, can play a more active, meaningful role in historical site interpretation for the public. It asserts that the landscape can serve not merely as a passive backdrop or stage set for interpretation but as an active tool for communicating important understandings about history. To accomplish this, a constructivist approach to designâ one that emphasizes the direct interaction between the individual visitor and the physical site as the origin of meaningâ is presented. The Constructivist Design Approach (CDA) emphasizes the manipulation of form, scale, materials, and path to facilitate visitorsâ physical, psychological, and emotional immersion in their environment. The CDA was developed from three research areas: an epistemological grounding in constructivism, ritual theory, and case studies of built works that promote the interaction of visitor and site. Application of the CDA to historical site interpretation is explored through a conceptual design proposal for an Appalachian slavery interpretive complex in Southwestern Virginia, which interprets mountain slavery from the slavesâ perspective. Through direct interaction with the landscape of the participatory living history complex, visitors deepen their understanding of how mountain slaves perceived, moved through, and appropriated the landscape for their survival. The design project indicates that the CDA can enhance the effectiveness of interpretive programs. It also reveals the importance of ongoing collaboration between landscape architects and historians throughout project development in order to achieve a physical site design that effectively incorporates and reflects interpretive content and objectives.

Neighborhood parks can provide a place for children and teens to satisfy their curiosity and learn about nature. Without an open-space policy or regulation from the city, no park was proposed during the development of the neighborhood adjacent to Susan B. Anthony Middle School in Manhattan, Kansas. People have to cross Highway 113 (Sethchild Road) or Kimball Avenue to the closest parks: Marlatt and Cico. However, neither of them is within walking distance for children and teens in this neighborhood. As a result, families have to build private playgrounds in their own backyards. In addition, technological development makes children and teens prefer staying inside playing video games. Neither private playgrounds nor video games provide interaction with nature or social interaction around nature. This project considers how the middle school site, which sits on approximately 40 acres, can be designed as a neighborhood park to allow children and teens to have close nature access and experiential learning opportunities. To better understand what users really need, interviews with teachers and questionnaires for students determined their current and preferred future use of the school site. In addition, neighborhood children, who are not in the middle school, were interviewed about their play preferences. Observations of the school site usage during school time and after were recorded for design purposes. Six precedents were examined to compare and understand what works to connect children and young teens to nature. After analyzing user needs and physical conditions of the site, a neighborhood park design for the site of Susan B. Anthony Middle School was proposed. The proposed design meets both students’ experiential learning needs and the need of neighborhood children and young teens to connect to nature. Because the 40-acre schoolyard is a nationally recommended size for middle schools, this joint-use schoolyard and park concept can be applied cross the country where needed.

Abstract:
The Hospital Hill is characterised by illegibility,under-utilised space and lack of circulation control. Hospital Hill contains the Medical campuses of the University of Pretoria, as well as the Tshwane District Hospital. The Tshwane District Hospital is in the process of being upgraded to a Regional Hospital. This upgrade has profound implications on spatial organisation within the Hospital Hill Precinct and relationships between institutions and users. This design aims to improve the spatial connectivity between the Tshwane Regional Hospital and the Campuses of the University of Pretoria through the application of a series of open spaces for the benefit of public health. The hypothesis was tested and applied through the following methodology: • Analysis of site specific design indicators • Compilation of a user profile • Literature • Investigation of theories of restorative benefit and the experiential landscape to determine characteristics of an environment that could be beneficial to public health • Precedents and previous studies An open space development framework was compiled for the Hospital Hill. The Master Plan area focused specifi cally on the interface between the campuses of the University of Pretoria and the Tshwane Regional Hospital. Dr. Savage Plaza was identifi ed as the most important activity node of the Hospital Hill. This area was developed up to Sketch Plan design, applying some of the principles identifi ed in the theory, to argue for the development of open spaces with the potential to benefit public health. The Technical Investigation involved the development of a maintenance strategy for the open spaces. It includes the details of the hydrological systems applied at the Dr. Savage Plaza (stormwater detention feature, erratic fountain). Sreet furniture and edge details were investigated.

Chamberlain, Paul Geoffrey. "The experiential significance of landscape in the Shakespearean imagination." Thesis, 1993. https://dspace.library.uvic.ca//handle/1828/9633.

Full text
Abstract:
The application of literature to geographical research has been a matter of interest to scholars since antiquity but, apart from several normative statements on this subject in the past, literary geography has not been a serious focus of geographical inquiry until relatively recently. Since the early 1970s, however, humanistic geographers have been probing literature assiduously not simply for its geographical content, but for the subtle clues that it provides in helping us to better understand the mundane, contradictory and transcendental experiences of human beings in relation to their environment. It is upon the latter that this research focuses. Specifically, the purpose of this study was to explore the experiential significance of landscape in the Shakespearean imagination in the belief that by doing so we can not only shed new light on the perceptions, attitudes and values of the culture in which it was written, but also improve our own understanding of the world in which we live. Although an enormous amount of research has been undertaken on William Shakespeare, litterateurs have tended to ignore many aspects of the playwright’s work that are so important to geography. In focusing upon Shakespeare’s dramatic landscape, I have attempted to fill this gap. First, I identify a wide variety of elements of the landscape according to their frequency of occurrence; then, through the application of phenomenology and hermeneutics, I have endeavoured to disclose the meaning of these elements as they are portrayed in the text; the application of polarity, ambiguity and antinomy, as well as the literary devices of symbolism, simile and metaphor have been used to enrich the discourse. My method of inquiry is superimposed upon a conceptual framework in which I first examine the landscape from the macroscale, focusing upon the cosmic landscape of Elizabethan cosmology, terrestrial space and the stage; then I approach the landscape from the mesoscale, by exploring the regional landscape of the city, the middle landscape and the wilderness; finally, I concentrate upon specific landscape elements within the regional landscape, by classifying them into either a territorial core, interactional space or public space. The study ends by identifying some important concepts from within the research framework and I elaborate upon these in an attempt to disclose more fully the experiential significance of landscape in the Shakespearean imagination. One of the most important concepts identified in this study is the pervasive use of the body-landscape metaphor. However, the landscape:body metaphor is far more prevalent in Shakespeare's work, because the body:landscape metaphor did not become more widely adopted until much later in history. Nevertheless, Elizabethan cosmology is clearly reflected in the spatial representation of the landscape: the city is a symbol of order and a metaphor for paradise; the wilderness is a symbol of chaos and a metaphor for hell; and the middle landscape mediates between this antinomy. But there are some anomalies. The centre of the landscape periodically erupts in chaos, and the periphery harbours enclaves of order that are sometimes portrayed as utopias. In addition, even though the centre of the landscape is overwhelmingly portrayed as sacred--in contrast to the periphery, which is profane--in practice the antinomy of sacred and profane space is misleading, because the Elizabethans' whole life was encapsulated in an eschatological doctrine in which the entire world was sacred. Furthermore, the complexity of the Shakespearean landscape is displayed in a variety of responses to the human involvement with the environment that can best be understood when placed upon an insider-outsider continuum. Perhaps most significant of all, however, is the role of the stage. The symbolic representation of heaven and hell in the theatre not only allows the vertical metaphorical landscape of Elizabethan cosmology to interact with horizontal terrestrial space in ways that profoundly transform the landscape; there is strong evidence that this allowed the Elizabethan audience to view the theatre as a metaphor for life through a 'suspension of disbelief', giving them a sense of identity, purpose and meaning in a way that modern drama, and even cinematography, has found virtually impossible to emulate.

The stage of mass tourism at the end, the tourism industry has confronted some questions with the rigid itinerary, homogeneous attractions, and artificial products. The man for the novelty experience leaves his home to travel, but get the monotonous experiences. In future, the tour will be toward new tourism forms with autonomy, flexible in order to meet the consumer demand for the emotions and experiences. Independent travel is an important developing outbound tourism market in Taiwan. It is not only a preferred form of outbound tourism, but also a method to develop self-vision and values. The characteristics of the free independent travelers or tourists (FIT) are planned journey, in favor of a more individualistic and fluid approach to travel. They tend to seek novelty, enjoy experiencing with different culture, off the beaten track explorers. Different from the mass tourism, they have more and deeper needs with value and the landscape of the destination. Contemporary travel experience is to seek pleasant experience by gazing different views of everyday life. Landscape comprises the visible features and human activities of an area of land. Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, Independent travelers take the initiative to pursue in the process for them a unique landscape, and to interpret it according to their value. Objective of this study is to understand what foreign landscape will attract independent traveler, experiential values, as well as the relationship between landscape and independent travelers’ experiential values. The Means-end chain is to explore the way people purchase products behind the psychological needs. In this study, the Means-end chain theory was used to clarify the relationship between independent travelers’ experiential values, feeling consequences, and perceived attributes of foreign landscapes. The respondents with independent travel experience were enrolled from representative websites “backpackers” in Taiwan. Online in-depth interviews through the MSN Messenger and Skype were conducted, and a technique of laddering interview was adopted to collect data. The results showed that the independent travelers emphasized four experiential values of the foreign landscape comprising self actualization, self improvement, good life, and national identity. Pursuing these values, the respondents regarded lifescapes (people, daily life, and festivals), natural landscape (mountain, lake, wildlife, and meteorology), cultural landscape (relics, monuments, and ancient sites), urban landscape (urban night scenes, modern architectures and entertainments) and as important attributes of foreign landscapes during their independent travel. These attributes were the crucial source of feeling consequences including positive emotion, stress coping, learning, reflection and supportive relationship, which then lead to the realization of the aspired values. Lifescapes are the most frequently mentioned in landscape attributes. Good life and self improvement are the major experiential values of the Independent travel. Besides, the self improvement of hierarchical value map comprises one chain. One starts from appreciating attributes of the people of the lifescapes which leads to gain consequence of reflection and finally links to value of self improvement; The good life of hierarchical value map comprises two chains. It starts from appreciating the people or daily life of the lifescapes which leads to gain consequence of reflection and further links to good life. The self actualization of hierarchical value map comprises two chains. It starts from appreciating the meteorology of the natural landscape or the urban night scenes of the urban landscape which leads to gain consequence of positive emotion and further links to self actualization. The national identity of hierarchical value map comprises two chains. It starts from appreciating the people or daily life of the lifescapes which leads to gain consequence of reflection and further links to national identity.

With the economic growth, people’s living standards also rise up. Consumers become to notice the culture and experiences . The Greek-style Landscape Restaurant operator packs the "space" as experiential merchandise. The space is considered as a consumed symbol. As a result, this study takes Greek-style Landscape Restaurant as the case. The researcher hopes to discuss the symbolic meanings within the space, and uses in-depth interview to understand what were experienced by the Greek-style Landscape Restaurants’ consumers and how they are presented to the consumers from 20 interviewees. This study attempt to use Consumption environment/atmosphere by Belk(1974) to analyze the relationship between the environment, atmosphere and consumers’ experiences. Besides, the researcher also uses five strategy modules of experiential marketing by Schmitt(1999) to understand how Greek-style Landscape Restaurants’ symbols affected the consumers’ “sense”, “feel”, “think”, “act” and “relate” spheres. In order to understand the symbolic meanings within the Greek-style Landscape Restaurants, What the consumers would experience there, and how the symbols are presented to the consumers? How do the restaurant operator design the experiencing space of “Greek culture”? Besides, what do the consumers experience from Greek-style Landscape Restaurants? At last, how do the consumers interpret it and grew their new impression of Greek culture? The study find that through the presentation of Greek-style Landscape Restaurants, the consumers’ senses are constantly stimulated, comforted and inspired by the presentation of Greek-style Landscape Restaurants. Consumers can construct cultural meanings and make them become a culture discourse. They have wonderful experiences. The discussion constructed by restaurant operator and consumers and media are romantic life, and consumers identify this discussion by consuming . As a result, this has also already become their lifestyle and a part of their daily life . The process are constructed by restaurant operator, consumers, and media. Not only forming the consumers’ identities, but also becoming parts of consumers’ daily lives. The Greek-style Landscape Restaurants provide five kinds of experiences, including, sense, feel, think, act, relate experiences. Besides, in sense experience are mostly coming from the visual part. Sense experience would straight forward and indirectly influence on feel experience. And in act experience and relate experience consumer’s attitude not significant.

The relationship between landscape and human is so close but complicate and dynamic with human’s perception. The interaction of human and landscape is keeping change upon the value perception of people on different time. Nowadays it requires a further investigation on the meanings of landscape brought to human beings, and to ensure the ongoing management of landscape maintenance follows the expectation of publics. The main purposes of this study are to understand whether experiential paradigm has more multiple choices in data resource and to understand if combing recognition paradigm and experiential paradigm can provide more effective and practice results. This study is divided into two parts: First, the study uses experiential paradigm as research model to clarify the factors that influence people’s evaluation on landscape during the interaction between landscape and human. Data resource is from blogs posted by tourists who visited the Sun Moon Lake National Seenic Area. Analysis results through these review articles indicated that different local landscape features trigger specific recognition factors, and consequently influence personal evaluation on the scenic beauty on target landscape. Second, the study uses the cognitive paradigm to double-check the results obtained from experiential paradigm. In this part, the main cognitive factors on SMLNSA: fascination, variation, tranquility, magnificence, mystery. These factors are used in cognitive paradigm and assess whether they are able to predict the scenic beauty estimation of tourists on target landscape. Results suggested that fascination, tranquility, magnificence and mystery are important impact factors influencing scenic beauty estimation. In comparison of experiential paradigm and cognitive paradigm, the prior one certainly has the ability to understand the results of people’s evaluation of landscape. Furthermore, deeper and richer knowledge on the processes during interaction of people and landscape are provided by the research results from experiential paradigm. 【Keywords】landscape perception, experiential paradigm, cognitive paradigm, blog, scenic beauty estimation
