“…In the context of this study, preference refers to a tendency to choose the quality of an imageability of a place to be enjoyed, both passively and actively, for activities in that place. Although the studies of urban environment preferences still mix between physical environmental attributes and the urban perceptual quality (Ernawati et al [4]), this study emphasizes people's choice for environmental perceptual quality, especially for walking in a historic street. The literature studies highlight the importance of the perceptual quality of a place in urban design (Ernawati [12]; Ernawati et al [4]; Ewing [2]; Ewing et al [13]).…”

“…In the context of a street, a historic street with a high-quality of imageability provides a good image for the people experiencing it. The place that has the quality of imageability has the characteristics of recognizable, distinct, and memorable (Ewing [2]; Ernawati et al [4]). Furthermore, previous studies show a place that has particular physical elements and its organization evokes a certain feeling, attract attention, and creates a deep impression becomes a place with a high imageability quality (Ewing [2]; Ernawati et al [4]).…”

The local community's opinions play an essential role in conserving a historic area, such as historic streets because the existence of a historic street depends on the appreciation of the local community. People's preferences will provide valuable consideration in conserving the heritage area. Therefore, this study meant to explore the dimensions underlying imageability of a historic street and its influence on people's preferences.The study applied a survey method using a questionnaire with a Likert Scale technique. One hundred and ten respondents participated in the research. This study applied statistical analysis, such as descriptive statistics, factor analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Results indicated, three dimensions are underlying a historic street image, i.e., Sense of Place, Attractiveness, and Place Identity. Multiple regression analysis results show that the three aspects have a significant influence on people's preferences. Among the three factors, the most influencing factor on people's preference is the Attractiveness dimension, followed by Sense of Place and then Place Identity.

Wetland parks are an important part of urban ecosystems, characterized by artificial and natural features. While providing outdoor recreational space for urban residents, the aesthetics of the landscape also affect residents' willingness to visit the wetland park. Previous studies of wetland parks focused on the ecological benefit. However, fewer systematic studies analyzed the aesthetic qualities and influencing elements of wetland parks. In this study, the Wuping Qianlu Lake Wetland Park in Fujian Province, China was used to evaluate the landscape visual quality of the wetland park using the the Scenic Beauty Estimation method (SBE), and the landscape features of the wetland park were obtained through the Semantic Differential (SD) method and semantic segmentation technique. The regression model of landscape visual quality and landscape features in wetland parks was established using SBE values as the dependent variable, and 23 landscape features as independent variables. The SBE values and accessibility were also combined to create four quadrants, which were combined with K-means clustering to diagnose existing problems. The results of the study showed that two landscape features, approach and proportion of water area were weaker among the four types of wetland park landscapes. The SBE values of the man-made landscape type were the most significant. Meanwhile, the high enclosure landscape type had a significant sense of rusticity, accentuating the wildness of the plants. It was less aesthetically pleasing and had the poorest landscape visual quality of the four types. This study provides a systematic method for diagnosing landscape problems in wetland parks, evaluating landscape visual quality assessment, and providing theoretical and technical support for urban wetland park renewal and construction.

The COVID-19 pandemic that just passed has sparked widespread discussion about how the pandemic teaches new knowledge in the design of urban public spaces. Since the emergence of urban design theories for public open spaces, urban design has encouraged people to leave their homes for activities. However, the pandemic has threatened people's outdoor activities. The perception of public space is an important research area for designing quality cities that create comfortable and safe places for the community. It can determine what should be designed and how it should be designed. Therefore, this study aims to examine changes in people's perceptions of urban public open space usage and people's preference for urban design qualities for the sustainability of streets as public open spaces after the COVID-19 pandemic. Data collection applied an online survey method using questionnaires distributed among people in Malang City, Indonesia. One hundred and eight respondents participated in the survey. The questionnaire investigated the changing use of public open spaces and the most frequently visited public spaces before and after the pandemic. The study also explored the impact of the pandemic on people's preference for urban design qualities: enclosure, legibility, human scale, transparency, complexity, coherence, linkage, imageability, and social life. This study applied descriptive statistics and paired samples t-test to analyze the data. Results indicated significant changes in people's perceptions of urban public open space usage after the pandemic. The study also found significant differences in people's preference for urban design quality, especially the enclosure quality and the social life aspect of the public space.
