Establishing Models for the Interpretation and Education in Botanic Gardens and Study on the Application Potential of Landscape Narrative

These pupils were randomly divided into four homogeneous groups. Four groups of pupils were then given evaluation test and questionnaire survey to determine the effectiveness of the landscape narratives. The main findings of the research include: 1.When the interpretive content was well associated and matched with the narrative landscape, the comprehension and retention of content was increased significantly for both simulated film and on-site treatment. 2.The results also indicated that interests, attractiveness and visual preference of narrative landscape scenes for both receiving simulated film and on-site treatment were increased. 3.Learning efficiency of pupils shows significantly positive correlation to visual preference in both the simulated film and on-site treatment. 4.Simulated film shows comparable effects to real site scene.

The results are valuable for evaluating message sending efficiency and visual preference of display areas by computer simulation before real site creation. 5.The research has proposed an ideal model for setting display areas with interpretation system for boatanic gardens 6.The studies has generated preliminarily cognitive model for landscape narratives.
