520 $a <italic>Analysis</italic>. Three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t tests was used to determine whether there was a significant relationship between culture and gender responses to water features in public interior environments.
520 $a <italic>Objective</italic>. The purpose of this study is to examine human responses to water features used in interior environments and to explore the inter-relationships between interior water features and people, gender, and culture.
520 $a <italic>Research methodology</italic>. College students from the United States and Taiwan completed photo questionnaires of interior environments with a water feature emphasized and interior environments without a water feature emphasized. Based on the subjects' responses to the photographic images, a preference score (dependent variable) was determined by counting the number of preference marks made in the photographs where water was emphasized.
520 $a <italic>Key findings</italic>. An overall higher preference level for images of interior environments that emphasized a water feature was found than for interior environments that did not. Contrary to expectations, the presence of real water flowing and gender had no significant effect on the subject's preference for the images that emphasized water. Additional findings showed that subjects from the United States had a higher preference for interior environments that included water than Taiwanese subjects.
520 $a <italic>Conclusion</italic>. This study supports the notion that the use of water as a design feature is a powerful element that can be used to enhance interior spaces. However, the study suggests that designers should not assume that all people respond to water features in interior spaces in the same way and at the same level. The study further suggests that the creators of designed environments should carefully address the following questions when deciding whether or not to incorporate a major water feature: (1) who are the planned occupants of the designed space, (2) what genders will predominantly interact with the designed space, and (3) What is the cultural background of the users of the designed space?
