“…Moreover, taking the participants to the physical environment itself has many limitations, in particular in controlling the settings of the experiment. Second, numerous studies have demonstrated photographs to be valid surrogates for real landscapes (Coeterier, 1983;Palmer & Hoffman, 2001;Shafer & Richards, 1974;Shuttleworth, 1980;Zube et al, 1987). We thus assume that eye-tracking results based on photographs are similar to tracking results obtained in the real world.…”

“…Th e photographs presented the coastline with varying degrees of human activities and artifacts. All photos were taken with a standard lens in order to make the photos in accordance with the actual scale relationships that are found in the direct perception of the landscape (Coeterier 1983). Eight photographs of Victoria's coastline were taken during the same afternoon, so that the light, the season and the weather circumstances were equal in each picture.…”

Th is study explores visions of nature among five populations in Victoria, a small city in British Columbia, Canada: Christians, Muslims, Native Americans, Buddhists, and secularists. Each group was asked to express their view of the human relationships with nature based upon four approaches: mastery over nature, stewardship in regard to the creation, a partner, or a participant in the processes of nature. Th e first model, in which humans wield hierarchical power and mastery over nature, was rejected by all groups. Christians and Muslims adhered to the stewardship image of the human/nature relationship, while Buddhists and Native Americans considered themselves to be participants in nature. Th e secularists made combinations of the approaches to exemplify their view. Twenty-seven individuals participated in extensive interviews as part of this study, which also included a small scale written survey of fifty-three persons.

We would also like to thank Hub Zwart, Wim Hofstee and Wouter de Groot for their enthusiasm for this project and their valuable comments.

“…Rating pictures is an effective and easy way to study people's vegetation preferences (Shafer and Richards, 1974;Daniel and Boster, 1976;Ulrich, 1981). Studies have shown that examining people's responses to viewing pictures of plants is a reliable representation of people's responses in the presence of live plants (Shafer and Richards, 1974;Coeterier, 1983;Hull and Stewart, 1992).…”

Does Plant Color Affect Emotional and Physiological Responses to Landscapes?

Research has shown that people have distinct preferences for and positive emotional responses to trees with a wide canopy. This is the same shape that trees have in regions of Africa's savannas with appropriate water for human habitation. Tree color is another important cue to habitats that are appropriate for human habitation. For example, nutrient deficient trees would appear yellowish. This paper covers the results of the first phase of a research study designed to test whether people have distinct preferences for and positive emotional and physiological responses to tree canopies of different colors. Results from the first phase showed that people prefer green and red trees to purple and orangish-brown trees. This is consistent with the hypothesis that people respond to specific tree colors because they may be cues to the survival characteristics of a habitat.
