Abstract
In last few decades, one of the most widely studied theories in predicting landscape preference is the framework of coherence/complexity/legibility/mystery described by Kaplan and Kaplan. The aim of this study was to present a conceptual integration of these four factors and to investigate the efficiency of these four factors by literature survey. 44 experimental articles were collected from Journal of Environmental Psychology and Environment and Behavior in this study. Besides, 14 Japanese articles were collected from Journal of The Japanese Institute of Landscape Architecture. The results show the framework’s integration in theory and application. In addition, coherence/complexity/mystery shows the efficiency in different settings but legibility remains uncertain. Moreover, the results of Japan literature show a connection between preference and natural setting, but evaluation factors have little systematic attention in the present study. Some suggestions for future studies were also discussed in this article.
