Extensive critical review of literature and stakeholder interrogation provided key research questions and paradigms. They are explained in the introductory chapters. Approaches to the understanding and assessment of woods and of hedgerows (as linear ‘woodlands’) were developed and tested through intensive and extensive field-based case studies. This research investigated and critically assessed the role and value of using botanical indicators as historic markers in wooded landscapes that comprise woodlands and hedgerows. These are linked by social history and ecology. In both habitat types, there have been recent attempts to determine their age and origins based on current floras. Ancient woodlands (i.e. present pre-1600) are determined by reference to regional ancient woodland indicator species (AWI) lists. Hedgerows have been dated by counting the number of woody species in sections (the Hooper Rule) to provide an estimate of hedgerow age. In this study, both the derivation of ancient woodland indicator species and the dating of hedgerows using the 'Hooper Rule' were questioned. In particular, the survey methods applied in these situations were critically analysed. For woodlands, there has been only limited emphasis on recording the local variations in flora within woodland. The woody species counting for hedgerows took little account of the species involved. Stakeholder opinion was canvassed using a series of four woodland workshops where the role of AWI was discussed. This generated questions the outcomes of which agreed with this research that new methods of data collection and interpretation were needed. Furthermore, the current patterns of the use of ancient woodland indicator species at regional or county level were considered and assessed. The need for a new approach to surveying woodlands and hedgerows to collect data relevant to historic interpretation was addressed. Appropriate methodologies were proposed and tested. A novel approach to interpretation was developed that considered the nature of a species used as an historic marker: where it was, how abundant it was and if there were any other associated species in combination. This intelligent interrogation process is a radical departure from current approaches to using only the presence of botanical species as historic markers. The overall conclusion of this research is that botanical species are valuable and powerful historic markers if their presence is considered carefully and intelligently based on adequately detailed surveys. This original approach has added to scientific knowledge and the understanding of botanical species as historic markers. New practitioner and researcher toolkits were developed and tested, and novel approaches to the evaluation of woods and hedgerows using cross-disciplinary methods were proposed.

The role of master plans at botanical gardens was studied for the purpose of identifying particular characteristics in successful master plan implementation. Twenty existing master plans were analyzed to provide background information about typical content, format, and professionals involved with development of master plans. In addition, fifty surveys were conducted with Directors of botanical gardens and arboreta. Twenty questions were posed to the Directors to define the extent of master plan implementation (i.e. use) at the garden and to identify the factors that affect implementation. Log-likelihood ratio tests (G tests) were performed to evaluate the data. Eighty-eight percent of the institutions surveyed reported that they implement a master plan at the garden. Significant relationships were observed between use of the master plan and the following factors: hiring a landscape architecture firm; involvement of staff, Boards of Directors, and the community; and inclusion of key sections, graphics, and the institution's mission statement. Based on these results, guidelines for master plan development and implementation are presented.

The Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam Botanical Garden of Mauritius, commonly known as "Le Jardin des Pamplemousses" was founded during the French occupation in 1770. Then it was the first tropical botanical garden in the world in addition to being the first botanical garden in the southern hemisphere. "Pamplemousses" has been acclaimed for its wide collection of palms and spices, which have fascinated tourists and locals for centuries. However, the value of this botanical garden that was once a pearl of the Indian Ocean has depleted. The garden shows traces of neglect accumulated over decades, which has resulted in a typically negative reputation locally. The botanical garden is a unique landscape typology. Primarily it can be understood as a natural theatre where items are collected and exhibited and secondarily as a laboratory where new techniques are explored. Today botanical gardens are faced with new challenges as the environmental crisis reaches new proportions. Furthermore, Le Jardin des Pamplemousses, established under French rule, is also confronted by the challenges that arise from its colonial identity in post-colonial Africa. The 'botanical' and 'post-colonial' can therefore be understood as the 2 main identities of the garden - ones that should be interrogated symbiotically in order to uncover the garden's development and future. This Research Project is an investigation of the past role, current state and envisioned future responsibility of Le Jardin des Pamplemousses based on a critical interrogation of its botanical onus and its colonial legacy. The investigation is supported by an inventory of the botanical gardens of Africa which acts as a contextualizing benchmark study, a literary review, in addition to specialized and public interviews carried out on site which aim to unpack the contemporary perception of the garden, and finally a mapping exercise which facilitates an assessment and evaluation of the present state of the garden. The Research Project condenses and resolves this information to allow for an informed interrogation of the future of Le Jardin des Pamplemousses, both as a botanical garden and as a remnant of colonial infrastructure in post-colonial Africa.

Botanic gardens worldwide are asked to be centers of conservation. However, little is written about conservation-specific planning and design forms botanic gardens should use to fulfill this assignment. After looking at the history of botanic gardens, with a focus on the purpose/design relationship, examining design guidelines suggested in and inferred from the literature, and presenting habitat conservation principles and sustainable construction guidelines from other areas of practice, the author developed conservation design guidelines for botanic gardens focused on conservation. The guidelines address the following five categories: (1) Mission Statement and Site Character, (2) Presentation of Native Habitats, (3) Presentation of Native Plants in Man-made Landscapes, (4) Sustainable Practices in Daily Operations, and (5) Educational Components. To illustrate the guidelines, they were applied in a hypothetical, conceptual redesign of the Belize Botanic Gardens, located near San Ignacio, Belize.

The Two-eyed Seeing Garden is an ethnobotanical garden that is a living description of the interrelationships between land, plants and people that explicates two ways of seeing. The goal of the Two-eyed Seeing Garden is to combine two frameworks, one of Indigenous Traditional Knowledge and one of Western Scientific Knowledge, in an attempt to create a bridge between the two knowledges in order for the inter-relationships between the two systems to be made visible. The Two-eyed Seeing Garden emphasizes the worldview of Indigenous Ecological Knowledge as an independent valid knowledge system that describes local knowledge in connection with other local knowledges, nearby and far away. These knowings can be thought of as layers that begin to intersect and eventually connect the same way as ripples do in a pond. Small and central, yet moving out. The physical garden is this too. It is a small place that is nested within a larger region. Although it may have walls and be distinct from it’s immediate surroundings, it can connect to the larger region. The Two-eyed Seeing Garden is an example of wholeness and connectivity from its most minute aspects to its situatedness in the larger context. The relationships make the invisible visible and describe the co-creation and co-existence of all those that inhabit this land now and since time immemorial.

This project explores the potential of gardens as specific physical places where humans cultivate vegetation. Humans are increasingly separated from natural systems, particularly vegetation, in their daily lives. Such a disconnect results in a failure to build emotional ties to and deep care for the natural world. To address this disconnect, landscape architects and planting designers need to understand how to design public gardens as ambiguous landscapes, landscapes that refer to natural ecosystems while also clearly revealing the human role in their design and care. Design choices involve environmental components and their articulation. Designers currently lack a vocabulary to identify the components of transformative experiences between people and plants. They also lack a visual understanding of how relationships between components can be articulated to establish ambiguity in specific sites. Synthesis of literature in experiential learning, dynamic vegetation, and planting design establishes a vocabulary of component cues to set up conditions for transformative experience in public gardens. Critical drawing of ambiguous landscapes by contemporary planting designers augments the researcher’s understanding of experiential cues. In order to explore the potential formal impact of designing for ambiguity throughout the design process, this project’s design application spans two sites: Chapman Botanical Garden in Apalachicola, Florida, and the Meadow on the Kansas State University campus, Manhattan, Kansas. Designing Chapman Botanical Garden offers the potential to be involved with the conceptual phases of site design: site planning, programming, and planting design. Designing at the Meadow offers the opportunity to be involved in the implementation phase of design: stakeholder involvement, selection and growing of plants, and design interpretation. Together, the two planting design explorations represent a complete design process for transformative experience.

This thesis investigates the relationship between landscape design and effectiveness of environmental education in botanic gardens in Taiwan. Beginning with a review of the historical development and changing role of the botanic garden, botanic gardens have been shown to react to the development of plant sciences and to reflect contemporary human demands, such as commercial trade, collecting habits and recreation. The conclusion is reached that after the Rio Earth Summit the most important role of the botanic garden in the 21 st century lies in enviromnental education. l. Interviews with educators and those involved in design of botanic gardens in the • UK reveal that botanic gardens have been actively producing educational programmes for different age groups of people and they have ingeniously incorporated interpretation techniques into the sites and plant collections to send enviromnental messages. The results of interviews with educators of Taiwan botanic gardens reveal that efforts have been made to improve the educational function while serving strong recreational demands of the Taiwanese people. Surveys of visitor distribution in two Taiwan botanic gardens identify attractive landscape features and popular activities conducted by users which lead to uneven distribution of visitors on the site. A questionnaire survey of visitors' responses to an exhibition focuses on the detailed relationships between exhibition design and the effectiveness in attraction and informing people. The results shows that "attractive" landscapes do not always need to be beautiful. A panel with an intriguing theme title could directly create a sense of mystery to arouse visitors' interests to explore and participate in the activity. In order to maximise the educational outcome the holistic approach should start from a collaboration of educators and garden designers. Carefully making landscape attractive and narrative has the potential to assist educators to tell stories and send enviromnental messages to the public in Taiwan.

Japan is one of the world’s 34 biodiversity hotspots, according to Conservation International (CI). The methods used by various organisations to define priorities differ, however, and all have weaknesses when trying to identify hotspots at finer resolutions. The goal of this thesis is to investigate how biodiversity hotspots in Japan could be revealed and mapped in order to encapsulate conservation elements of biodiversity in practical ways and at various scales. Bioquality is a term that emphasises the concentration within a community of elements of biodiversity with high conservation value. It evaluates the global rarity and taxonomic distinctiveness of plant species or infra-specific taxa using four Star categories. At a plant community level, the Genetic Heat Index (GHI), which is a standardised global range size rarity score, is calculated using weighted Star statuses of species in the community. Bioquality hotspots are assessed here for the first time for the flora and vegetation in Japan – and for temperate Asia – by categorising the Japanese flora into Stars and by applying GHI to survey data and literature-based sources. Keys to Stars are developed for the Japanese flora, with adjustments for variability in species geographic range size information and for taxonomic relatedness. A Flora of Japan (FOJ) database was compiled as a BRAHMS database, containing 8,262 accepted names (30,656 taxon names in total, including synonyms) in 258 families – the first full database of Japanese vascular plants. A total of 7,145 taxa are assigned Stars; from the rarest to the widespread class, there are 884 Black, 756 Gold, 833 Blue, and 4,672 Green Star taxa, confirming that Japan as a whole contains a high proportion of globally rare taxa (23% taxa in Black or Gold). A protocol for calibrating the weight of Stars based on species geographic range is developed based on fine-resolution distribution maps within Japan and coarse–resolution Taxonomic Database Working Group (TDWG) code information. The protocol optimises calculation for temperate regions. The first ever bioquality hotspot maps of Japan are produced using two independent data sources on species distribution at national level: 1) 50 botanical prefectures using 4,830 species from the FOJ database; 2) 1,418 Horikawa ‘geoquadrats’ (0.1° latitude by 0.15° longitude grid) maps covering 829 species. The Ryukyu Islands and Ogasawara Islands are identified as bioquality hotspots, and high mountain ranges in mainland Japan are predicted to contain areas potentially high in GHI; the spatial patterns of GHI are generally concordant between maps of different resolutions. These findings highlight that bioquality assessment can be applied meaningfully at various spatial resolutions. Using field sampling data and existing literature, three study sites are further investigated on a local level: 1) the satochi-satoyama landscape, the current national priority area for biodiversity conservation; 2) various vegetation types of Okinawa-jima Island, the Ryukyu Islands; and 3) the Utaki sacred groves within the predicted hotspot of the Ryukyu Islands. The Ryukyu Islands are confirmed to contain bioquality hotspots within many individual sites, while there was generally low GHI across the satochi-satoyama landscape. The field study outcomes, together with a gap analysis of the existing coverage of protected areas, highlight three important points that are directly relevant to national biodiversity conservation planning: 1) the Ryukyu Islands urgently need newly designated protected areas; 2) the satochi-satoyama landscape conservation should redirect its focus on cultural benefits to the public; 3) the existing protected areas, particularly on mountain areas, need re-evaluation in terms of upgrading their status in light of the bioquality assessment.

Cultural landscape can be defined as landscapes derived from anthropogenic activities, with which people establish cosmological, sacred, historical relationship and many activities types. From these interactions emerges modified landscapes and local knowledge according to the needs of each human group, and research on these aspects help to understand about the historical use of these landscapes and make predictions aiming its conservation. Thus, this study sought to understand what criteria people use to classify landscapes, understanding the effects of anthropogenic landscapes in the management of FLONA-Araripe from biological evidence and perceptions of the surrounding communities and employees as well as checking as variables interfered with local knowledge about these landscapes. For this we used semi-structured interviews with 106 people living around the FLONA-Araripe, with seven employees of the conservation unit, plus a list-free landscapes and species of useful plants known, the community mapping and history graph. Biological evidence was accessed through floristic survey, soil analysis and aerial imagery of the managed areas in two temporal clippings. The main results of this study, was observed that the studied population establishes close relationships with the landscape, as they classify for utility issues and these designations indicate on your management process, as was evidenced in biological data. Moreover, it was observed that the anthropogenic effects on the landscapes of FLONA-Araripe, the votes favored plant species in the past tense, and currently the abundance of these species is in decline due to specific environmental and anthropogenic factors. Finally, employee perceptions about the occurrence of fires in managed areas, revealed the historical use and conflicts of interest in the conservation of these areas among the local population and the managers of the Unit. Thus, theoretical view point these results elucidate issues related to the classification of landscape processes, since it was found that these occur by utilitarian issues, and contribute to understanding the effects of management on current landscapes, seen that demystifies the idea of unspoiled forests, showing that FLONA-Araripe consists of a set of human altered landscapes and human activities can both contribute to the increase in the abundance of useful species, as the depletion of this species. From a practical view point, our results delineate future perspectives on forest landscape that will assist both the management of protected area, as local cultures that depend on the use of forest resources.
Paisagens culturais podem ser definidas como paisagens oriundas de ações antropogênicas, com as quais as pessoas estabelecem relações cosmológicas, sagradas, históricas e também realizam diversos tipos de atividades. A partir dessas interações emerge uma gama de conhecimento local e paisagens modificadas de acordo com as necessidades de cada grupo humano. Investigações sobre esses aspectos podem ser úteis para entender sobre o histórico de uso dessas paisagens e fazer predições visando sua conservação. Assim, o presente trabalho objetivou entender quais critérios as pessoas utilizam para classificar paisagens, compreender os efeitos do manejo antrópico nas paisagens da FLONA-Araripe a partir de evidências biológicas e das percepções de comunidades do entorno e funcionários da Unidade de Conservação, bem como verificar como variáveis (idade, gênero, renda, escolaridade, etc) interferiam no conhecimento local sobre essas paisagens. Para isso utilizou-se entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 106 moradores do entorno da FLONA-Araripe e com sete ex-funcionários da unidade de conservação, além da lista-livre das paisagens e espécies de plantas uteis conhecidas, do mapeamento comunitário e do gráfico histórico. As evidências biológicas foram acessadas por meio de levantamento florístico, análise de solo e de imagens aéreas das áreas manejadas em dois recortes temporais. Dentre os principais resultados desse estudo, observou-se que a população estudada estabelece relações estreitas com a paisagem, pois as classificam por questões utilitárias e essas denominações indicam sobre seu processo de manejo, assim como foi evidenciado nos dados biológicos. Além disso, observou-se que os efeitos antrópicos sob as paisagens da FLONA-Araripe, favoreceu as espécies vegetais úteis no tempo pretérito, e atualmente a abundância dessas espécies encontra-se em declínio devido a fatores ambientais e antrópicos específicos. Por último, as percepções dos funcionários sobre a ocorrência de incêndios nas áreas manejadas, revelaram o histórico de uso dessas áreas e conflitos de interesse em relação a conservação dessas áreas entre a população local e os gestores da Unidade. Dessa forma, do ponto de vista teórico, esses achados elucidaram questões relacionadas aos processos de classificação das paisagens, uma vez que constatou-se que esses se dão por questões utilitaristas, além de contribuir para a compreensão dos efeitos do manejo sobre as paisagens atuais, visto que desmistifica a ideia de florestas intocadas, mostrando que a FLONA-Araripe é composta por um conjunto de paisagens antropizadas e que ações antrópicas podem tanto contribuir com o aumento na abundância de espécies úteis, quanto na depleção dessa espécies. Do ponto de vista prático, os achados desse estudo delineiam perspectivas futuras sobre a paisagem florestal que irão auxiliar tanto a gestão da unidade de conservação, quanto as culturas locais que dependem do uso dos recursos florestais.

A arborização urbana é um tema bastante importante no contexto ecológico das cidades em virtude das múltiplas funções que equilibram as condições do ambiente. Essa pesquisa foi desenvolvida no bairro do Butantã, na área loteada pela Cia. City no início do século XX. Foi realizado o levantamento florístico das espécies arbóreas encontradas nas calçadas e canteiros centrais e, posteriormente, esses exemplares botânicos foram mapeados por meio do sistema de informações geográficas em escala de detalhe.
The urban arborization is a sufficiently important subject in the ecological context of the cities in virtue of the multiple functions that balance the conditions of the environment. This research was developed in the quarter of the Butantã, in the area divided land into parcels for the Cia. City at the beginning of century XX. The florístico survey of the found arbóreas species in the sidewalk was carried through and seedbeds botanical central offices and, later, these units had been mapeados by means of the system of geographic information in detail scale.

This Master Thesis work is about the rebirth of a warehouse, once part of Innocenti S.p.A. Located in the district of Lambrate, Milano, the factory used to cover an area of nearly 800.000 sqm back in the Nineties, it nowadays presents itself as a fragmented scenario. This work aims to be a testimony of the past, by first showing all the available official materials that were recovered right before everything shut down. As a second part, it suggests a proposal for one of the most iconic buildings left to a state of complete abandonment and self extinction: the warehouse now known as the Crystal Palace because of its present conditions. Accepting the conditions of one thing and enhancing them in a programmatic way, is probably a solution for dealing with our industrial archaeology, for an innovative, engaging and sustainable approach. An extension of the already existing park finds a new place under the original roof structure. In order to integrate the project in the surrounds from a sociological point of view, the community will be provided with new spaces for exhibition galleries and, moreover, the city of Milano will benefit of the first botanical garden in history.

L'étude qualitative et quantitative du mode de développement des plantes envahissantes est actuellement considérée comme une étape clef dans la compréhension des phénomènes d'invasion. L'objectif de ce travail est de préciser les relations qui existent entre la structure architecturale des buissons et leur caractère proliférant. Nous avons sélectionné cinq espèces buissonnantes (Cornus sericea L., Cornaceae ; Prunus virginiana L., Rosaceae ; Rhamnus cathartica L., Rhamnaceae ; Rhus typhina L., Anacardiaceae ; Zanthoxylum americanum Mill., Rutaceae) qui sont connues pour leur aptitude à bloquer la succession végétale sous certaines conditions au Sud du Québec (Canada). L'analyse architecturale a permis chez ces espèces de caractériser les unités structurelles et leurs modifications ontogéniques. Ces modifications ontogéniques doivent être prise en compte afin d'obtenir une description complète de la plasticité phénotypique chez ces espèces. L'analyse des différentes unités structurelles révèle qu'elles ne possèdent pas la même signification fonctionnelle : les niveaux d'organisation les plus grands sont responsables majoritairement des capacités de plasticité phénotypique de la plante et de sa compétition. Ces analyses ont abouti à la définition de trois stratégies architecturales correspondant à des comportements individuels et qui sont également pertinentes pour expliquer la prolifération des populations

Positioned between writing and drawing, the diagram is proposed by John Berger as an alternative strategy for articulating encounters with landscape. A diagrammatic approach offers a schematic vocabulary that can compress time and offer a spatial reading of information. Situated within the contemporary field of direct data visualisation, my practice-led research interprets Berger’s ‘Field’ essay as a guide to producing four field | studies within a suburban park in Canberra. My seasonal investigations demonstrate how applying the conventions of the pictorial list, dot-distribution map, routing diagram and colour-wheel reveals subtle ecological and biographical narratives.

M.Tech. (Architectural Technology)
This dissertation is structured to mimic or represent my design project, which was developed in conjunction with theoretical readings and research. The aim is to provide a comprehensive representation of the project’s development from theoretical beginnings to architectural detail. This dissertation attempts to uncover, explore and understand the fragile relationship between man, nature and architecture, stemming from a deeply personal interest in the rehabilitation of political wastelands through ecological restoration. The aim of this study is to pursue a holistic design approach, which understands the architectural discipline as an interrelated profession in which buildings cannot be designed in isolation. Broken down into three main parts, this document illustrates the development of my theoretical and contextual interests into design. These papers are presented in their entirety of this document as Part A (starting point and research influence), Part B (process and discovery) and Part C which introduces a narrative program developed for the architectural discovery of K-206 (nestled within ‘jungle’ in Alexandra). A series of abstract drawings and model building experiments initially framed the investigation, allowing for chance, exploration and the unexpected, valuable experiments in the development of an architectural language and vocabulary which were refined over the course of the year

Existing scholarship on Persian gardens reveals a pattern of common interest in spatial layout, formal quality, and symbolic meaning. Gardens are often depicted as symmetrically laid out enclosures, as introverted places for hedonistic purposes, as passive spaces for contemplation, and as symbolically charged, earthly embodiments of Qur’anic paradise. Such depictions present Persian gardens as salubrious oases intended purely for repose and delight. This discourse has oversimplified the history, meaning and function of Persian gardens, which were dynamic venues serving multiple and complex purposes. Against this background, the study attempts to shed new light on Persian gardens and landscapes through a fresh reading of two key Persian texts that provide historically grounded perspectives on the gardens’ botanical functions and poetical meanings. The first text, Irshād al-zirā‘a (Guidance on Agriculture), is a botanical manual offering extensive material on the science of agronomy and gardening as well as rare agricultural instructions regarding the laying out and planting of formal gardens, taking into account both garden aesthetics and the science of horticulture. The second text, Jannāt-i ‘adan (Gardens of Eden), is a compilation of five poems composed in 1557 by Shah Tahmāsp’s court poet and historian, Navīdī Shīrāzī, to celebrate the completion of the new imperial garden city of Qazvin. The new reading of these texts shows how Persian gardens served multiple functions ranging from the most practical to the most poetic, how formal aesthetics and paradise symbolism played only marginal roles in their design and creation, and how different considerations contributed to the creation of desirable garden environments. Adopting a historical method of analysis and interpretation, the study examines examples of both existing and imagined sixteenth-century Safavid gardens, in order to support the reading of and excerpt translations from the selected texts. The study paints a new picture of early Safavid gardens and their centrality as dynamic and adaptable places that fulfil the needs of their patrons, courtiers, harem members, visitors, and even the citizens of their respective cities. It brings to light overlooked factors that contributed directly or indirectly to garden form, structure and meaning, while reintroducing the Persian garden as an intersection where nature, indigenous design, local cultural and social lifestyle, economic efficiency, power, patronage and dynastic politics meet.

Abstract The main objective of the study is to investigate the influence of landscape narrative application on learning effectiveness of visitors. This research targeted Hengchun Tropical Botanical Garden, its theme gardens were employed as the background of this empirical study. A simulated setting with various landscape narrative applications was film-recorded, the interpretation of each theme was later incorporated in films according by. The films were watched by total 426 school-aged children in grade three and four in Taichung city. The controlled and experiment films are randomly assigned to two groups of respondents. Respondents scored significantly higher after watched the film with landscape narrated simulation settings, The memory test was carried out straight after watching the simulation film by survey questionnaires. The post-test was taken place at two, four and eight weeks interval after the pre-test was taken. The major results of research are listed below. 1.With the aid of landscape narrative, interpretation in botanical garden could be effectively enhanced and learning achievement of students was significantly higher with stronger motivation. 2.Application of landscape narrative on the design of display increased the degree of attention, interests and landscape preference of respondents. 3.Learning achievement is not significantly related to either attention, interests or landscape preference. However, it is worth of further research in the near future. 4.Although landscape narrative and the memory performance is not relevant associated, the respondents, who watched the film with landscape narrated simulation settings, showed better learning results in the post-tests.

Orchid habitat has been destroyed for centuries and as a result many species, some not even discovered yet, have been lost. From the orchid hunters of the 17th and 18th centuries to the deforestation and reckless collection of orchid species today, orchids and their habitats have continued to be at risk. Efforts such as in situ conservation, an approach to protecting orchids in their natural habitat, and ex situ conservation, the protection and propagation of orchids outside their natural habitat in places such as seed banks, laboratories, herbariums, and botanic gardens, have helped to preserve orchid species all over the world. This work includes the design of a botanic garden centred on orchids and their conservation. Situated in Ecuador, the garden design incorporates research, education, and conservation in a way that is inspiring and delightful to the visiting public. Orchids are featured in the design of the garden, and the conservation of this plant family is emphasized. A history of botanic gardens explores the evolution of this specific type of garden, providing a background for modern-day design. Case study analyses of contemporary botanic gardens provides additional information and insight into the changing role of botanic gardens in the 21st century. This Practicum explores the creation of an educational garden that is also entertaining and challenges the notion of what a botanic garden is today and what it can be in the future.

The purpose of this study is by used computer simulation and the actual scene establish to investigate the influence of visitors’ learning efficiency if botanic garden induct the landscape narrative technique; and evaluate of both education efficiency to know the effectiveness of the subject message convey, for domestic of botanic garden to renovate or pre-set to display areas reference. This research targeted National Museum of Natural Science’s botanic garden, its theme gardens were employed as the background of this empirical study, proceed landscape narrative scenes by computer simulation and the actual scene establish on the subject of the display areas. The scenes were watched by total 695 school-aged children in grade three and four in Taichung city, they were evenly divided into four groups, two groups were watched the simulation film and the actual scene with landscape narrated settings; the other two groups were watched did not set the landscape narrative scenes in the film and the actual scene, the memory test was carried out straight after watching the simulation film and the actual scene by survey questionnaires. The major results of research are listed below. 1. With the aid of landscape narrative interpretation in botanic garden, could be effectively enhanced and learning achievement of students was significantly higher with stronger motivation. 2. Application of landscape narrative on the design of display increased the degree of interests, attention and landscape preference of respondents. 3. Users’ learning efficiency and its landscape visual evaluation were significantly correlated. 4. By computer simulation film of the display areas with landscape narrative test results, we could infer users in the scene of the interpretation education efficiency and visual feeling.

In order to create an exhibition space landscape narrative technique has proved to be effective addition to enhance the quality of display space the United States, in the imported hand to explain the circumstances, and can upgrade their knowledge of effective learning, but the explanation for non-officers to be part of the research has yet to see dwell, so this study will be displayed in the scene into the landscape narrative technique, and explain the card with different forms of creation, to explore its use for the general audience behavior, the result will help to improve the Botanical Gardens outdoor show of the message passing effects of environmental design and education. In this study, literature review method to aggregate the design of the relevant literature on the explanation, and then to observe the law of the audience to understand Taiwan''s Botanical Gardens to learn behavior and explain the relationship between license type; will be concluded by the Botanic Gardens into the museum display area in the theme chosen in order to Landscape Design of experimental study of narrative explanation of the scene mix and match different cards, each scene there are five kinds of combination of types of non-participant observation of the behavior observed by the audience, and to record the spectral notation. The results showed that in the subject by adding visual display of narrative scenes and objects with explanatory signs explanation, explain the attractiveness of the scene the audience and continued strength was significantly higher than those who did not object to import visual narrative, a corollary of the theme by adding visual narrative scenes and objects commentary card can effectively increase the audience of the learning opportunities, thereby enhancing the effect of messaging and to remember to record the spectrum of audience behavior patterns, through qualitative and quantitative method to analyze the scene explained the situation to interact with the audience, The results show highlighting scenes, landscape narrative objects, explaining between brand and the audience will change for any one party, while the indirect effects of learning behavior and interaction, the results will help application commentary on the Botanical Garden, the scene with explanatory signs the design, and thus achieve the purpose of environmental education.

This report argues that historic landscape preservation efforts need to embrace biodiversity planning. Historic landscape preservation sites need to develop biodiversity plans because they are uniquely qualified to provide the continuous monitoring that successful biodiversity planning requires. Not only will biodiversity monitoring at various historic landscape sites contribute to a nationwide collection of biodiversity planning data, but it will also provide a rich source of information that can be presented to draw a wider audience into the biodiversity discussion. After considering three precedents: Old Sturbridge Village, Old World Wisconsin, and Tucson Botanical Gardens, the report focuses on the Kino Heritage Fruit Trees Project and its real and potential impacts on biodiversity planning in southern Arizona and more broadly. Finally, the report considers how seed libraries and seed swaps might serve a similar purpose in other parts of the country.

On the advertisements of daily newspaper, magazines and websites, it is often to find that high greening and views from the environment and landscape within the residential areas proposed by real estate companies. High quality collective mansions usually are equipped with conditions, including: low site coverage ratio, low floor area ratio, low building density and high greening coverage ratio, which are named “three lows and one high” characteristics. From the perspectives of architural development and residential demands, they are looking for both higher efficiency uses of resources and meanwhile more friendly treatment toward the environment. Therefore, the policy of “yield green to the residential community” only for residents within the community to enjoy is the mainstream idea in Taichung City. The motivation of this study was focused on the best efficacy of real estate developers and consumers to reach both price and values maximization from the viewpoint of the importance of botanical greening and landscape to the high quality collective mansions. The purpose of this study was to explore the influences of botanical greening landscape on the prices of the high quality collective mansions and to provide the values of references for real estate investors, housing consumers as well as researchers of this concern.
