“…Nakamura et al evaluated the visual impression of texture patterns at the borders of various printed pictures using sensory evaluation [35]. Stone, as a part of urban building materials, can have a profound emotional, sensory, and affective impact due to its sound, tactile, and visual qualities [36]. The process of a consumer choosing stone flooring is actually the process of their brain consciousness extracting and summarizing the qualities of marble, followed by their conscious preference to actively match the sample characteristics they have extracted to complete their selection of decorative stone flooring.…”

Blind consumption discovered in the real application of flooring does not produce the visually anticipated impression, leading to additional time costs and stone flooring waste. Consumers cannot clearly articulate their visual imaging needs when purchasing stone flooring. Due to consumers’ lack of understanding of the visual imagery style of decorative stone flooring, manufacturers are unable to produce more visual styles of stone flooring in response to consumer demand, which leads to an unorganized production process and the wasting of stone resources. Additionally, manufacturers are unable to receive feedback on market demand, which makes communication links between sales teams difficult. A total of 40 adjectives were considered the most appropriate in a pool of 110 adjectives for the visual imagery evaluation of stone after ten interior design professionals with experience in decorative stone applications had narrowed the selection. Following this, a general consumer semantic difference method questionnaire survey and questionnaire data factor analysis statistics were used to create 10 sets of visual imagery adjectives for marble flooring, which were then divided into 10 different types of marble flooring. Following the computer simulation drawing with the 10 groups of visual imagery adjectives design questionnaire, the consumers completed the visual imagery evaluation questionnaire survey. They received a 304-question valid questionnaire, and using the triangular fuzzy number operation in fuzzy theory, they arrived at 10 marble floors in the visual imagery evaluation score. In order to clarify the current consumer demand for stone floor imagery, the high sales volume of stone flooring on the market for visual style division, which can guide consumers according to their visual needs for an efficient choice, can enhance the efficiency of communication between consumers and sellers. It can also help enterprises clarify the market consumer demand for orderly production to achieve the purpose of green consumption and to ensure the sustainable development of the decorative stone flooring market.

This paper explores the resizing, reshaping and connectivity of islands by examining ongoing relations between land and sea in the context of the Channel Island of Guernsey. Ideas of materiality, temporality and vertical depth are employed to explore how contemporary tides and past sea‐level change impact island–island connections, and island–mainland connections between Guernsey and France. By focusing on the littoral zone as a space of encounter between land and sea, the paper explores some of the processes that challenge the notion of an island having fixed edges, emphasising the island's shape and size as always in flux. The paper then explores how tides alternatively reveal and hide material structures such as rocks and causeways, making the underwater scape temporally visible and differently accessible as an extension of land. It enables connections to be made and remade. This is demonstrated through the example of Guernsey and the tidal island of Lihou. The paper subsequently considers these ideas in the context of Quaternary sea‐level change. The land known as Guernsey alternated between literal island surrounded by water, and a steep‐sided plateau on the Normanno‐Breton plain, coinciding with interglacials and glacials. This connection is referred to as geologic. I argue that by acknowledging Guernsey's former visible connection with France, lack of contemporary visibility in the underwater scape does not render this a disconnection. Rather, the geologic, as further evidenced in the contemporary natural and built environment of Guernsey, continues through an underwater scape. It reappears in other Channal Islands and France, demonstrating ongoing connections at a land–sea–geologic interface. The paper argues for geology as a form of vertical depth. It calls for greater consideration of the geologic in the human geographical study of islands.
