Abstract:In order to explore the influence of greenway landscape features on runnability at the levelof perception and material elements, this study captured first-person perspective videosof the greenway around Nantai Island in Fuzhou and intercepted 100 image samples.Semantic segmentation was employed to calculate the material features of the landscape,while a subjective questionnaire was utilized to evaluate perceptual features and overallrunnability. A Bayesian network model integrating 'material features-perceptual featuresrunnability' was subsequently constructed. The results showed that nature, safety, andaesthetics can directly and positively explain the runnability of greenways, whereasattraction indirectly influenced runnability by influencing aesthetics. At the level of materialelements, excessive buildings negatively impacted naturalness perception, high skyvisibility reduced environmental aesthetics, and redundant walls and fences diminishedenvironmental attractiveness, which in turn reduces the runnability. Vegetation not onlysignificantly explains the potency of nature, safety, aesthetics, and attraction, but alsodirectly explains the runnability. Based on the research findings, the design of greenwayrunning environment should focus on plantscape creation, improving the coverage toenhance naturalness and aesthetics, utilizing plants to beautify the artificial structures andmoderately shade the buildings, and enclosing the safe spaces through plants to improvethe running experience.
