Hence, this research tried to understand what is the critical landscape characteristic in Taiwan rural area? With the typology viewpoint, using the landscape classification method to obtain the different rural landscape types and the attracted characteristics, further realized the images of these different landscape types finally represented the overall rural landscape characteristics. This research was carried out by three stages, the first stage was to investigate and generalize the Taiwan rural landscape types, from 44 sample sites distributing in the North、the Middle、the South and the Eeast Area of Taiwan to get 1940 photographs , using the generalize analysis method to obtains eight rural landscape types initially; The second stage was carried on the photos classification by the Q sorting task , with the same photos as the first stage, to reducing the photos number, than a sample of 138 subjects were used for 88 photos sorting task and characteristic description, the photos matrix was put into the twostep cluter analysis to get 9 photo groups, this result was compared with the result of first stage, finally, 8 kind of rural landscape types were obtain, according to description refined by the subjects to give the name of the rural landscape types: the up-flat drought fields, the plain fields, the longitudinal valley, the valley crops field, the mountain cultivated, the terraced tea farm, the seashore cultivated and the coastal slender field landscape . The third stage was focus on the image of the rural landscape types, 4 photos select from each landscape type altogether 32 photos were chosen, 302 subjects were carry out the questionnaire investigation by onlooking photos. By performing factor analysis using varimax rotation, the study extracted three cognition image factors named as bright and fresh, wide and harmonize, nature and isolated, the affective image factors were named peaceful and quiet, touch of humanity conveniently. After one way analysis of variance, the results showed that there were significant differences in the landscape image, landscape familiarity, landscape preference and importance between in the 8 landscape types. The multiple regression result showed that in the cognition image, the landscape importance effect factors were bright and fresh, wide and harmonize nature and isolated, the landscape familiarity effect factors were bright and fresh, wide and harmonize, the landscape preference effect factors were bright and fresh, wide and harmonizes. In the affective image, the important effect factors was peaceful and quiet, but peaceful and quiet, touch of humanity conveniently effect the landscape familiarity and preference. After canonical correlation analysis, the landscape composition factor more tends the ecology mountain scenery physical causes, the cognition image factor was bright and fresh, the composition factor more tends the farm crops countryside, the cognition image factor was nature and isolated to be lower, the ecology mountain scenery can have the peaceful and quie feeling to the landscape''s affective image factor, the farm crops landscape gived the touch of humanity conveniently feeling.
