Description
Summary:The paper presents studies concerning perception-based analysis of landscape by means of the valuation method developed by Kazimierz Wejchert. This method consists in the scoring of landscape interiors of a given space. Evaluation concerned a recreation area located in the city centre around one of the best known water reservoirs in the city of Poznań. The experiment comprised investigations conducted by students of 6 specialisation groups, the field of study Horticulture, and lasted for 6 months. In that period students evaluated individual interiors of the study area. The aim of the analyses was to indicate differences in the perception of recreational landscape depending on different factors (specialisation within the field of study, gender, weather) as well as to potentially develop design guidelines for the management of recreational areas within the green wedges in the city of Poznań. Statistical analysis of the collected data facilitated formulation of more specific conclusions. Marked differences were found in the perception of landscape, depending on gender of respondents. The most attractive site was the area located immediately at the lake, while the ecotone zone, transition zone between ecosystems, proved to be least attractive. Slight differences were also found in the perception of landscape within the investigated specialisations within the field of study.
