Abstract

The logical framework of ‘Component-Pattern-Process-Perception’ (C-3P) is introduced for landscape spatial system analysis, which identifies and analyzes the component, pattern, and process of landscape space at a specific scale and realizes the comprehensive and total perception of landscape space in above three dimensions. It establishes a comprehensive and systematic framework for regional landscape space analysis with multi-scale and multi-dimensional characteristics, which mainly includes landscape components dependent on the environment and context, landscape spatial patterns with mosaic and nested characteristics, spatial processes as logic and grammar in landscape pattern language, and landscape space perception analyzed from an ideological perspective. Three spatial scales are proposed for landscape C-3P analysis in this framework, which are holistic landscape scale, aggregated landscape scale, and basic landscape scale.
