To quantitatively measure or evaluate aesthetic factors is not easy in comparison with physical, functional, behavioral or economic factors. Yet aesthetic factors essentially play an important role in design modeling process. Despite its importance, research on aesthetic assessment or the interaction of aesthetic influential elements is insufficient. Therefore, this study is intended to find the relationships between visual preference and aesthetic variables of perceptual-cognitive dimension and affective dimension in commercial space design. According to the result of this substantiation research, aesthetic variables that give a positive effect on the preference of commercial space design are unity, order, and clarity in perceptual-cognitive dimension and 'pleasant', 'relaxing' in affective dimension. On the other side, aesthetic variables that give a negative effect on the preference are contrast, complexity, and ambiguity that is a contrary concept of clarity in perceptual-cognitive dimension and 'exciting', 'arousing' in affective dimension.

Is golden proportion, which has been classical beauty among aesthetic rules and orders, avaiable in the present \ulcorner or Does ${\surd}$rectangle proportion replace the classical proportion \ulcorner It is a main theme in this thesis to answer the above questions. This study is basically about favorite proportion in the field of fine art, architecture and design. For this study, 2oo students participate in the answering to the questionnaire. The conclusions which result from the above surveys are as follows ; The results of the first survey is the preference of ${\surd}$2 rectangle to other ${\surd}$rectangles. The second result is the preference of golden proportion as 1 : 1.618 to ${\surd}$2 rectangle as 1 : 1.414. This survey proves that ${\surd}$rectangle proportion as modern proportion does not substitute the golden proportion with the classic proportion.

If environmental aesthetics contains the whole area of grand beauty of nature and the meaning of the urban landscape, the urban landscape is defined 'fine view of urban, or beautiful sight' therefore, we must look for the wary to introduce and solve the aesthetic problem with a new paradym of the urban landscape. Such environmental aesthetics as to seek a new planning for the urban landscape can provide a new meaning for urban environment design by extracting design elements of street furniture resulted form aesthetic evaluation in context of formation aesthetics to review the aesthetic value and substance, and explain aesthetic experience, and explain aesthetic experience of urban the landscape.

Landscape design pursues a balance among different values in our society, but aesthetic value and ecological value in landscapes must bring complex relationships into harmony. Ecological aesthetics can be defined as a domain of study that manages the relationship between landscape ecology and landscape aesthetics to create aesthetically attractive and ecologically beneficial landscapes. Despite the importance of the research area, there has been limited empirical research addressing ecological aesthetics. This article aspires to connect and expand the conceptual framework to the research methodologies of ecological aesthetics. First, this study suggests a conceptual framework that examines the relationship between landscape and perceptual process in the context of ecological aesthetics. This framework stresses the importance of information and design intervention as moderators in this relationship. From this framework, three key topics in ecological aesthetics arise: (1) correlation between ecological integrity and aesthetic preference, (2) "compromised" design and management intervention principles that enhance aesthetic pleasure and still have biodiversity, and (3) the impact of information intervention in aesthetic experience. The framework indicated three domains affect each other; thus, when one domain is studied, the other two need to be considered. Secondly, several theoretical and empirical studies on ecological aesthetics will be reviewed from a methodological point of view. This will help to consider ecological aesthetics research, which has primarily been limited to theoretical discourse in empirical research.

Design is inseparably related to aesthetics. In spite of that, it is difficult to explain the precise aesthetic variables that affect the aesthetic value of space or environment. Therefore, this study intended to find the relationships between aesthetic variables by perceptual and affective judgement for space design with focus on complexity and preference variables. The research found low level of 'arousing' as well as high levels of affective dimension variables 'pleasant' and 'relaxing' evoked high preference. High preference also appeared in space design cases with high unity, order, and clarity with low contrast and complexity, which are variables of perceptual dimension. Complexity, one variables of preference by Kaplan, is in an inverse proportion to space preference. Thus, space design with high complexity has high level of 'exciting' and 'arousing' affective responses and relatively low level of 'relaxing' response. Additionally, it was confirmed that the most importantly influential factor on complexity was diverse components rather than visual richness and ornamentation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the landscape image and visual preference for ridges of the Seongpanak district at Mt. Hallasan. For this, the evaluation of the artificial and natural landscape is compared through the medium of color slides. Data is analyzed through the descriptive statistics and spatial image is analyzed by factor analysis algorithm. Principle component analysis and Varimax Method are applied to extraction and factor rotation respectively. The results of this study can be summarized as follows : General visual imagesthe Seongpanak district at Mt. Hallasan are clean, beautiful and attractive. The degree of visual preference increased commensurately with the lower rate of artificial factors. Landscape Factors covering the spatial image are found to be 'aesthetic value', 'spatial scale', 'natural quality', and 'topography' factor, which account for 57.6% of the total variants. The aesthetic value variable is the most important factor in visual preference and the unnatural factors are found to present negative elements with visual preference.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the correlation between the demographic characteristics of Korean men and the preference of women's grading such as age, education, marital status, occupation, monthly income, and residence. After the questionnaire distribution, 333 questionnaires were analyzed statistically. Through this study, we will investigate the preference of men according to the step length of women's graduation cuts, and contribute to the establishment of the most preferred type of graduation cuts. As a result of the questionnaire analysis, 51.1% of all males preferred the gradation type with a large step of the cut length, and it was found that there was a difference in the preference for the step according to demographic characteristics (p <0.05) It is possible to conduct various studies on the style of the graduation cut among the hairstyles of women who are visually preferred and beautiful. In addition, it will be possible to derive the importance of customer satisfaction in hair salons, and it will be a basic index for searching for changes in the gradation cuts that can be applied in various ways while maximizing the aesthetic image of women.

The purpose of this study is to survey the outdoor living space of apartment housing complexes in Daejeon area and to find out the degree of satisfaction, the frequency of use, the preference of facilities and the degree of importance. This study insists that the recognition about the residents' changing demands and interests be considered more important than the aesthetic design. Moreover, it can be proposed as the basic resource which can be used for the social demands. Therefore, various perspectives about the outdoor living space of apartment housing complexes can play an vital role in improving the design process and developing better residential environment.
