An exploratory study of the landscape preferences of normally aging seniors.
Gibb, Catherine Louise.

An exploratory study of the landscape preferences of normally aging seniors. - 123 p.

Adviser: Robert D. Brown.

Thesis (M.L.A.)--University of Guelph (Canada), 2001.

This thesis investigates the landscape preferences of normally aging seniors between the ages of 65 and 84. Thirty-four subjects hierarchically sorted according to preference 27 photographs of non-spectacular urban landscapes typically found in southwestern Ontario. Participants were asked to explain why they liked the five most liked photographs and disliked the five least liked pictures. The images were organized along two dimensions; naturalness ranging from natural to built and enclosure ranging from open to closed. The direction, rank and strength of photograph preference were determined using frequency counts. The verbal data underwent content and context analyses to identify general preference indicators.

520 $a This thesis investigates the landscape preferences of normally aging seniors between the ages of 65 and 84. Thirty-four subjects hierarchically sorted according to preference 27 photographs of non-spectacular urban landscapes typically found in southwestern Ontario. Participants were asked to explain why they liked the five most liked photographs and disliked the five least liked pictures. The images were organized along two dimensions; naturalness ranging from natural to built and enclosure ranging from open to closed. The direction, rank and strength of photograph preference were determined using frequency counts. The verbal data underwent content and context analyses to identify general preference indicators.
520 $a The fundamental tenets of preference, naturalness and enclosure, held for seniors. Subjects were more consistent about the type of setting they disliked than liked. Built-open settings received poor preference responses. The descriptions indicated that vegetation, colour, complexity and non-visual preference indicators such as function and affect were influential. Signs of human intervention when they do not dominate nature were appreciated and may provide cues to care.
