Establishment of the Evaluation System for Rural Landscape Quality Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process: Taking Western Sichuan Linpan As an Example
In order to better protect landscape in rural area,and to clearly understand the relationship between the factors which affect the quality of rural landscape,this paper took Linpan of Western Sichuan as an example to establish assessment system for rural landscape quality by using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method.Through the analysis of 103 sampling plots,17 assessment indixes were selected from the aspects of aesthetics,ecology,and society,including residential local characteristics,water quality,the function of maintenance,the carbon and oxygen balance,local culture,etc.The weight of each hierarchy index was calculated by assessment matrix analysis.The results indicated that the ecological value (0.466) > aesthetic value (0.275) > social value (0.259).The most important factor in the ecological value was the purification function.The most important factor of the aesthetic value was the residential and local characteristics.The most important factor of the social value was the green culture of sustainable development.Based on the results,a model for the assessment of the landscape quality of Linpan was established to provide theoretical references for the future rural landscape quality studies.
