kinds of coastal wetlands are the most preferred landscapes have elements of mystery and involvement, and could make higher aesthetic value. If a coastal wetland
only has under story of terrestrial vegetation that is low aesthetic value, especially
yellowing vegetation of under story, which does not coincide with the pattern of
humankind’s preference landscape (Photo 15.2a, b).
Photo 15.5a–d The vegetation has species evenness that landscape would be
appreciated, such as marsh (Photo 15.5a); however, arid and yellowing vegetation
has low aesthetic value (Photo 15.5b). Vegetation composition and location also
have influence on ecological aesthetic. The landscape aesthetic preference is low at
an lack visual penetration coastal wetland, due to people perceive complex, but no
legibility (Photo 15.5c, d); and too complexity landscape not only gave people a
sense of insecurity, but also stopped people access to the setting, such as mangrove
forest swamp (Photo 15.5d).
15.5.4 Overall Landscape
Evolution-base theories, research has shown that most preferred natural landscape
typically possess open areas with low groundcover a water source directly or indirectly apparent and scattered clumps of trees and shrubs, savanna-like setting (Hill
and Daniel 2007). That overall landscape of coastal wetland could put on this archetype landscape. The overall landscape includes openness, view distance, and surrounding land use.
Openness is an aspect of the visual landscape that is strongly related to perceived
visual quality and landscape preference (Herzog 1987; Tveit et al. 2006; Nijhuis
et al. 2011). According to prospect-refuge theory, people prefer a landscape that
offers various options for cover with an overview of large open space. Thus, a balance of open and enclosed landscape is more preferred, moderately openness made
people immediately understand and inferring the environment, and a moderately
enclosed view at a distance could induce people further explore.
On the other hand, an open area of landscape is bordered by such as strips of
taller vegetation, topography, forest etc. that related to the size of patches and affects
the ecological of individual patch through its effect on edge and core habitat (Tveit
et al. 2006; Baguette and Van Dyck 2007). The environmental information of wetland is high-coherence, people may perceived monotonous at this environmental
like as mudflat, estuary marsh. These types of wetlands are unstable and unpredicted environment due to tides variation and climate effect is explicit that r- strategist
species are more flourishing. In contrast, environmental information is too complicated and is not in the hands for people, like as mangrove swamp, coastal forest
wetland; that environment is more stable for provide resistance to climate such as
high winds. The K-strategist species would be vigorous. Like as coastal fresh-water
swamp and a marsh with background of forest have a balance of open and enclosed
landscapes. According to information-seeking theory and environmental information
