The forest-landscape image is the bridge for communication between human beings and the forest. The aim of this paper is to construct the landscape-image conceptual model from the personal perception of the forest, with what people are looking at and how they are viewing themselves as a part of the forest. This research constructed a forest-landscape image by young adults by utilizing the landscape-image-sketching technique and selecting 140 young adults who had lived in Changsha, Central China for ten years, using convenience sampling, during April and May 2018. The results demonstrated that the forest was considered as the people's life world, as rural scenery around the respondents' homes, instead of the perception of the objective forest, an important habitat for animals and a limited resource supplier for human living. In fact, the natural values of the forest, such as the ecological and aesthetic values, received more attention than the social ones of the forest, including the life, production, and cultural values. Finally, it is important to raise the public's awareness of the objective entity of the forest and to guide the variety of experiences for the respondents in the forest.
森林景观意象是人类与森林之间沟通的桥梁。本文旨在从个人对森林的感知出发，构建景观意象概念模型，即人们在森林中所看到的和将自己视为森林一部分的方式。本研究通过景观意象素描技术，选择了居住在华中长沙十年的 140 名年轻人作为研究对象，于 2018 年 4 月至 5 月采用便利抽样法进行了研究。结果表明，森林被视为人们的生活世界，是受访者家乡的乡村风景，而不是对客观森林的感知，即动物的重要栖息地和人类生活的有限资源供应地。实际上，森林的自然价值，如生态和美学价值，比森林的社会价值，包括生命、生产和文化价值，受到更多关注。最后，提高公众对森林客观实体的认识并引导受访者在森林中体验多样性非常重要。
