Abstract

ABSTRACT Innovative landscape design of sustainable and resilient infrastructure needs public satisfaction and support. In the 1990s, a new type of urban park, called ecological or sustainable park, emerged to function as green infrastructure. Precedent research reiterated the affection for the picturesque of the Americans, and their opposition to this emerging ecological landscape which tends to look messy. This research investigated if the picturesque and the messiness also matter to Thais. The questionnaire gathered opinions of 315 respondents on the appearance of Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park—a pioneering ecological park in Bangkok. The results revealed respondents’ preference for the picturesque and resistance to the messiness and poor maintenance. The picturesque convention, cues to care tactic and knowledge about nature and ecology appeared to involve in their perception of the beautiful, natural and ecologically sustainable landscapes. The research suggested strategies for designing ecological urban parks in Bangkok, which are also applicable elsewhere.

公众对生态城市公园外观设计的反应:“优美”与“凌乱”之争

摘要可持续和有弹性的基础设施的创新景观设计需要公众的满意和支持。20世纪90年代，一种新型的城市公园出现了，称为生态公园或可持续公园，起到了绿色基础设施的作用。先例研究重申了美国人对风景如画的热爱，以及他们对这种看起来混乱的新兴生态景观的反对。这项研究调查了风景如画和混乱对泰国人是否也有影响。该调查问卷收集了315名受访者对朱拉隆功大学百年公园外观的看法。朱拉隆贡大学百周年公园是曼谷的一个开创性生态公园。调查结果显示，受访者更喜欢风景如画的地方，并抵制混乱和维护不善。风景如画的习俗、关爱策略的暗示以及对自然和生态的了解似乎涉及到他们对美丽、自然和生态可持续景观的感知。这项研究提出了曼谷生态城市公园的设计策略，这些策略也适用于其他地方。

期刊介绍： Sustainable and Resilient Infrastructure is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the sustainable development of resilient communities. Sustainability is defined in relation to the ability of infrastructure to address the needs of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their needs. Resilience is considered in relation to both natural hazards (like earthquakes, tsunami, hurricanes, cyclones, tornado, flooding and drought) and anthropogenic hazards (like human errors and malevolent attacks.) Resilience is taken to depend both on the performance of the built and modified natural environment and on the contextual characteristics of social, economic and political institutions. Sustainability and resilience are considered both for physical and non-physical infrastructure.
