Summary:碩士 === 國立中興大學 === 園藝學系所 === 95 === In recent years, “Global Warming” was one of the most important subjects of debate. People sought convenient environment, however, t made the environment more degreded. It affected environmental quality. Green areas were loss, and scenic beauty quality was affected. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among landscape structure index, environmental preference and environmental quality. Landscape structure index was applied to confer the land structure of rural area, and explored the environmental quality and environmental preference in the rural areas. This study chose 30 rural areas and collected 30 samples from every rural area. In total, the study obtained 920 valid samples. The study applied of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to digitize the aerial photography of every rural area and classify land use into five different types (e.g., farmland, waterbody, artificial land, forest land and grassland). Descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA and Pearson product-moment correlation were used to analyze data. The study concluded (1) The larger grassland the higher environmental quality. (2) The higher grassland’s percentage of landscape the higher environmental preference of locals. (3) The higher environmental quality the higher environmental preference of locals. This study suggested to promote greening in order to strengthen the integrity of vegetation patch, and increase the preference level of locals.
