| Summary: | 碩士 === 東海大學 === 景觀學系 === 85 === Abstract From the perspective of environmental psychology and
social psychology,this research explored the concept of
attitudes which was the developmentprocess of mental and was
composed of cognition,affection and conationthree components.
This research took urban residents''sense of communityas
cognitive and affective components, while residents'' attitudes
towardlandscape management and maintenance was representedas
action tendency component. The purpose of this research was to
explore the relationshipsbetween urban residents'' sense of
community and attitudes toward landscapemanagement and
maintenance. The results showed that residents'' demographic
characteristics affectedtheir attitudes on landscape management
and maintenance through residents''sense of community. In this
research, sense of community was divided intothree concept-
groups. They were social interaction, neighborhood cognition,and
affective bonds. A Likert scaling was used to measure residents''
sense of community. Using factor analysis, sense of community
was reduced to sixfactors - "affairs participation", "identity
of place","attachment to neighborhood","social contact","
emotional support",and "environmentalcognition".Through one-way
ANOVA analysis,residents''demographic characteristics were
related with six factors of sense of community.Through chi-
square analysis,three groups of different sense of communitywere
significantly correlated to residents'' demographic
characteristics. The attitudes of landscape management and
maintenance were divided intoactive and passive attitudes.
Through factor analysis, the variables of landscape attitudes
were divided into four landscape-attitudes types -"active
participation", "environmental learning", "responsible paying",
and"landscape perception". As hypothesized, through the
canonical correlationanalysis, the results indicated that sense
of community was correlated to attitudes toward landscape
management and maintenance. It also proved thatresidents''
demographic characteristics influenced landscape-attitudes
types. This research showed sense of community will
positively affect residents''attitudes toward landscape
management and maintenance.Strategies of bringingup urban
residents'' sense of community and work of landscape management
andmaintenance were also suggested to contribute to develop and
constract muchmore beautiful community environment.
