Abstract

China is one of the world’s fastest-growing countries, and the scale of its cities continues to expand, causing tremendous changes to the ecological environment. The purpose of this research is to improve urban fringe future planning from the perspective of landscape preference. This study takes the area of Shenyang City as an example and selects six locations with high consensus on the tested areas. We used the narrative interview method for the landscape paradigm, combined with spatial quantification, government policies, and major events, to conduct a comprehensive analysis and summarize past environmental appearance. A content analysis method was also used to summarize the landscape features that residents prefer after 15 years of environmental changes, including three types and ten dimensions. From the perspective of landscape preference, a plan for urban fringe areas is proposed.
