Abstract:

In this paper, three factors of neighborhood pattern, neighborhood comparison and species segregation were taken to describe the spatial structure of a typical scenic and recreational forest in Longmenshan National Geopark of Sichuan Province. The SBE method was used to estimate the forest in terms of esthetics. A correlation model was built up by multiple regression technologies. The results showed that that there was obvious effect of neighborhood comparison and species segregation on scenic beauty estimation in the study area. This study provided a scientific basis for forest management by integrating ecological factors and aesthetic factors.

Key words: scenic and recreational forest, spatial structure, scenic beauty estimation, Longmenshan Mountains
