Abstract：More attention is now paying to the aesthetic value of landscape resources by the public with the development of our society and economy, and as such landscape aesthetic evaluation has become an important part of landscape resource assessment. Present prevailing landscape evaluation system is dominated by objective expert-based approach, which is based on landscape modeling and predesigned aesthetic evaluation indicator system. In contrast, due to individual's differences of aesthetic evaluators, subjective approaches have long been considered unreliable, and as such were less used in the practice of landscape assessment. To include subjective approaches into the scientific landscape evaluation system, the 'objective' contents of subjective approaches must be firstly proved. The main objective of this paper is to verify that during the process of subjective overall evaluation human does make perception of some objective landscape attributes. To facilitate the landscape survey process, a regular grid sampling (1km×1km) method is applied in this research. Correlation analysis was conducted to examine relationship between overall visual landscape evaluation (OVLE), perceived measurable visual landscape attributes (PMVLA) and measurable visual landscape attributes(MVLA), and multilevel regression analysis was also carried out to determine important factors for OVLE.
