Abstract: Objective

This paper discusses the influence and correlation of the visible green index on spatial satisfaction based on urban park dynamic image collection and evaluation of spatial satisfaction. It provides a theoretical basis for scientific evaluation of urban green space quality based on psychological perception, thereby promoting the optimization of the urban green space structure.

Method

Using urban parks as the investigation destination, the correlation between the visible green index and spatial satisfaction and the factors influencing this correlation was analyzed through urban park dynamic image collection, the visible green index analysis of images, evaluation of dynamic and static spatial satisfaction, and the social demographic background.

Result

There was a significant linear correlation between dynamic spatial satisfaction and static spatial satisfaction. The visible green index of more than 50% of the image samples was concentrated in the range of 30%-60%, and there was a significant weakly negative correlation between the visible green index and spatial satisfaction. Further, there were significant differences between household groups and gender in static spatial satisfaction.

Conclusion

Human beings prefer a 30%-60% visible green index, and vegetation elements have a greater impact on personal spatial satisfaction. Static satisfaction is more susceptible to the social demographic background due to the lack of sensory interaction in the real environment.

Key words: urban park, perception, spatial satisfaction, visible green index, visible plant index, visible water index
