Digital Extraction and Quantitative Study of Regional Cultural Elements in Landscape Design
Main Article Content
Abstract
Preserving regional cultural identity in landscape design requires systematic approaches capable of transforming cultural characteristics into quantifiable design elements. This study proposes a methodological framework integrating digital extraction, parametric translation, and multidimensional evaluation to support data-driven cultural landscape design. A digital database of regional cultural elements is established using 3D laser scanning, multispectral imaging, and semantic text mining technologies. Extracted cultural parameters are translated into spatial generation rules through a parametric design platform, enabling algorithm-driven landscape creation. Quantitative evaluation combining spatial syntax analysis, behavioral observation, and user perception assessment is then employed to verify design effectiveness. A case study based on a Jiangnan water-town cultural landscape demonstrates that the proposed method significantly improves both spatial integration and cultural identity perception. The study provides a systematic pathway for cultural information modeling and offers methodological references for spatial data analysis, multispectral sensing, and digital landscape generation.
