Based on investigation and literature collation,the evaluation factors of regional characteristic landscape along the commercial pedestrian street were extracted,and the evaluation system of regional characteristic landscape along the commercial pedestrian street was established by the AHP method.The regional characteristic landscape along the commercial pedestrian street is the first-level index,including four secondary indexes of regional characteristics of road landscape,regional characteristics of plant landscape,regional characteristics of architecture and sketch,and spatial landscape experience,as well as 17 three-level indicators such as road environment landscape coordination,uniqueness of road markers and road landscape recognizability.The reliability of the evaluation system of the regional characteristic landscape along the commercial pedestrian street in Dongpo Bund was proved.The importance sequence of road landscape level,spatial landscape experience,landscape visual effect and plant landscape characteristics in the regional characteristic landscape was obtained,and it is closely related to users’ satisfaction.According to the problems found in the survey,suggestions on the transformation of the regional characteristic landscape along the commercial pedestrian street in Dongpo Bund were put forward to provide reference for the transformation and improvement of regional characteristic landscape along similar urban commercial pedestrian streets.

Evaluation of climate comfort based on the relationship between the structure and behavior of a block space in a winter city

This paper focuses on climate comfort degree evaluated from relationships between spatial characteristics and behaviors of a winter city.It is demonstrated that the influences of climatic factors on human comfort are remarkably different for different spatial characteristics and functions of the sites.An evaluation method of climatic comfort is propsed,in which attaining comfort is an adaptation process,and the dynamic changes in the process are according to the user’s subjective tendency to the variations of the spatial characteristics and functions of the space.The evaluation criteria are based on both physical and psychological hierarchy needs of a person,which include the spatial form for microclimatic conditions as well as the spatial social-economic characteristics of a site.To improve the local environment of a winter city by planning measurements,the Harbin Central Pedestrian Street is taken as an example in the application of the evaluation method,and different planning optimizing strategies are proposed accordingly.The results show that the pattern of climate comfort is characterized by reflecting the socialeconomic value and individual behavior characteristics.
