Abstract

Campus temporary landscapes have great potential to promote sustainability, student well-being, and campus engagement. The article presents a field survey, questionnaire design, and SPSS software analysis of the temporary Asian Games landscape at the Zhejiang University of Technology. An attempt was made to investigate the environmental perception impacts of the Asian Games' temporary campus landscape on university students and whether these impacts differed by individual differences (e.g., gender or academic major). Quantitative and qualitative analyses were used to explain college students' specific perceptions of the temporary Asian Games landscape. The analysis results show: 1) individual variables of college students had significant effects on the differences in environmental perceptions of the Asian Games temporary campus landscape, and gender and academic major factors had direct effects on them; 2) college students had different perceptual outcomes for different types of Asian Games temporary campus landscapes, and they preferred figurative temporary landscapes, followed by abstract and information transfer landscapes, and finally signage landscapes; 3) Asian Games There is a close connection between different features of the temporary campus landscape and college students' environmental perceptions, and aesthetic features become the key features affecting college students' environmental perceptions. The study reveals the mechanism of the temporary campus landscape of the Asian Games affecting the environmental perception of college students, and based on the results of the study, relevant planning suggestions are proposed, which have certain implications for improving the design of the temporary campus landscape space.
