Abstract

Despite pursuing greening initiatives, cities might experience excessive greenery at the neighborhood level. The intension of this research is to promote ecosystem services and avoid the mantle of so-called “green urbanism”. Hence, examining the dose-response relationship is essential to understanding the intricate interplay between residential greenery quantity and landscape preference. Drawing upon preference assessment data from multiple neighborhoods with 30 typical scenes (n = 147), we employ Kaplan's landscape preference matrix (KLPM) to quantify the spatial distribution of greenery and individuals' preference assessment from the perspectives of Mystery, Coherence, Legibility, and Complexity. Results from multiple and ridge regressions indicate that the dose-response curve follows a polynomial shape, with landscape preferences reaching a threshold as the NDVI value increased from 0.35 to 0.42. Beyond the threshold, the trend of landscape preference levels tapers off and eventually plateaus. Therefore, the conclusion of our cross-sectional experiment adequately reflects the threshold effect of landscape preference toward greenery quantity. Furthermore, the weight of Mystery, Coherence, and Legibility in KLPM all showed a positive strong correlation, but the dose-response relationship cannot be fully explained by Complexity. These results inform how designers can more effectively promote optimal doses of nearby nature to circumvent worldwide overheated "Garden City” initiatives.

探索景观偏好的剂量反应：新加坡案例研究

尽管采取了绿化措施，但城市可能会在街区层面出现过度绿化的情况。本研究旨在促进生态系统服务，避免所谓的 "绿色城市主义"。因此，研究剂量-反应关系对于理解住宅绿化数量与景观偏好之间错综复杂的相互作用至关重要。根据多个社区 30 个典型场景（n = 147）的偏好评估数据，我们采用卡普兰景观偏好矩阵（KLPM），从神秘性、连贯性、可识别性和复杂性的角度量化了绿化的空间分布和个人的偏好评估。多元回归和山脊回归的结果表明，剂量-反应曲线呈多项式形状，当 NDVI 值从 0.35 增加到 0.42 时，景观偏好达到阈值。超过阈值后，景观偏好水平的趋势逐渐减弱，最终趋于平稳。因此，我们的横断面实验结论充分反映了景观偏好对绿量的阈值效应。此外，在 KLPM 中，神秘感、连贯性和可读性的权重都呈现出正相关的强相关性，但复杂性并不能完全解释这种剂量-反应关系。这些结果告诉我们，设计师如何才能更有效地促进附近自然的最佳剂量，以避免世界范围内过热的 "花园城市 "倡议。

期刊介绍： Applied Geography is a journal devoted to the publication of research which utilizes geographic approaches (human, physical, nature-society and GIScience) to resolve human problems that have a spatial dimension. These problems may be related to the assessment, management and allocation of the world physical and/or human resources. The underlying rationale of the journal is that only through a clear understanding of the relevant societal, physical, and coupled natural-humans systems can we resolve such problems. Papers are invited on any theme involving the application of geographical theory and methodology in the resolution of human problems.
