This paper is aimed for analyzing satisfaction and image about each type of landscape elements by typological approach of university campuses. The design elements of landscape improvement in campus were extracted from correlation analysis of satisfaction and image of campus. Conclusions from analysis above are as below.
1. Analysis of campus types
1) Three types were extracted by using spatial index of campus. From feature analysis of each types, three types are classified as below. Type 1 is ‘large-scale complex location’ type, and Type 2 is ‘middle-scale edge location’ type. Finally, Type 3 is small-scale urban location type.
2) Three universities are selected for investigation. The type 1 is Kyung-buk University(A-University), and the type 2 is Kumoh National Institute of Technology(B-University), and the type 3 is Dae-gu Educational University(C-University).
2. Landscape element evaluation in Architecture
1) The headquarter building of university is shown as a representative case of the university buildings. The main reasons are 'History of the building' and 'Good location'. Among elements in architectural formation, ‘Proportion & Balance' and ’Harmony & Order', are shown as very important factors. The same pattern were shown at all three cases.
2) Satisfaction level of landscape elements in architecture is high at 'Building layout' in all cases. However, satisfaction level is very low at ‘Building color & materials’. Therefore, organizing ‘Building color & materials’ is the main task for landscape development.
3) Satisfaction level of the headquarter building is higer than buildings overall. Satisfaction level of A and C-University shows high in ‘Building formation’, and C-University shows high in ‘Building layout’.
4) Image evaluation in architecture is a little bit different. Most universities show that image about 'Nobility‘ is positive, and image about 'Dynamic' is extremely negative. Therefore, giving a dynamic image is important during architecture design.
5) In cases of the headquarter building, A-University shows positive in ‘Scale’, and B and C-University shows positive in ‘Nobility’, respectively. These results shows the relations between image evaluation of the campus and the headquarter building.
6) The correlation between satisfaction and image of landscape elements shows that A-University has positive correlation with ‘Building color & Materials’, B-University has positive correlation with 'Building color & Materials’ and 'Building formation'. Therefore, the main task for landscape improvement in campus is to focus on these elements at each campus.
3. Landscape element evaluation in Outdoor space
1) In all three cases, 'Rest area' and 'Water area‘ as parts of campus outdoor space were considered as main landscape elements, and satisfaction level of those elements were high as well. 'University Entrance' was considered as a main landscape element but satisfaction level was low.
2) In outdoor space of three cases, elements with low satisfaction level were as follows. In A-University, Street Furniture Group, in B-University, Symbol․Entrance Facility Group, and in C-University, all of Facility Groups show low satisfaction level respectively. These are connected with environment condition that each university has.
3) Satisfaction level of ‘Planting area’ shows high in ‘Visibility’, and low in ‘Activity’. 'University Entrance' shows high in ‘Visibility’, and low in ‘Semanticity’. These results shows differently in each case.
4) Image about the overall university is positive at all elements except 'Scale‘ and 'Dynamic', and especially very positive at 'Familiarity'.
5) Image about 'Planting area' shows positive in all elements except 'Scale‘, and 'University Entrance' shows negative in all elements except 'Dynamic’. In case of 'University Entrance', A and C-University shows negative in all elements except 'Dynamic’ and 'Clarity’. In contrast, B -University shows positive in all elements except 'Dynamic’ and 'Clarity’. It is showed that the landscape charactieristics of each cases are reflected on these results.
6) The correlation of between satisfaction and image of landscape elements shows that A-University has positive correlation with 'Street Furniture Group‘ and 'Symbol․Enterance Facility Group’, C-University has positive correlation with 'Landscaping Facility Group‘. Therefore, the main task for landscape improvement in campus is to organize these facilities at each campus.
