Kemaliye (Erzincan/Turkey) is the member of European Association of Historic Towns and Regions. The aim of this study was to reveal the visual richness of the town; to identify the relationship between landscape spatial pattern and visual quality of the landscape and to offer some suggestions for the future planning in regarding to these visual beauties. The visual quality assessment method was used in this study. The results of the study revealed three landscape types that have the highest visual quality. Among those, the highest one is urban scenery 3 (US3; VQP = 5.9400), the second is geological structure scenery 5 (GSS 5; VQP = 5.9200) and the third natural scenery 3 (NS3; VQP = 5.9133). Visual quality assessment showed that urban pattern, geological structure and natural resources of the region also have visual value. The relationships between landscape spatial pattern and visual quality of landscape indicated that certain characteristics of landscape affected the quality. For instance, as the texture level decreased in natural landscapes and as the green areas increased in geological structure, visual preferences ratio increased. Some suggestions were also made regarding the visual resources use in the region.
凯马利耶(埃尔津詹/土耳其)是欧洲历史城镇与地区协会的成员。本研究的目的是揭示该镇的视觉丰富性;确定景观空间格局与景观视觉质量之间的关系,并就这些视觉之美为未来规划提供一些建议。本研究采用了视觉质量评估方法。研究结果揭示了三种视觉质量最高的景观类型。其中,最高的是城市景观3(US3;视觉质量参数VQP = 5.9400),其次是地质构造景观5(GSS 5;VQP = 5.9200),第三是自然景观3(NS3;VQP = 5.9133)。视觉质量评估表明,该地区的城市格局、地质构造和自然资源也具有视觉价值。景观空间格局与景观视觉质量之间的关系表明,景观的某些特征会影响质量。例如,随着自然景观中纹理水平的降低以及地质构造中绿地面积的增加,视觉偏好率会提高。还针对该地区视觉资源的利用提出了一些建议。
