To this end, the main physical elements of the Persian garden are identified, and their aesthetic value is assessed by analyzing landscape preferences in three steps: First, the appreciation of main physical elements in Persian garden is discussed; second, their effects on landscape preferences are examined employing photomontages; and finally, the visual impact of main physical elements of the garden, on aesthetical quality of the landscape, is quantified through a statistical model. An analytical-descriptive method is adopted to achieve this goal, and a statistical population including three groups of inhabitants is involved in the survey from November 2023 to December 2023. Three approaches were also used to analyze the landscape preferences. The main study tool is a questionnaire on aesthetic values. For data analysis, one-way ANOVA, paired sample T-test, and regression model were performed, using SPSS 24. This made it possible to determine if and to what extent the Persian garden&#39;s aesthetic values are shared among this study&#39;s participants. The results demonstrate that the alteration in the existence of the main physical elements in the Persian garden would lead to different aesthetic perceptions in three groups of interviewees. These findings may help landscape architects and urban designers in further designs to consider and prioritize the main architectural elements based on their impacts on different generations</span></span></span></i> Landscape, Perception, Persian garden, Delgosha garden. 0 0 http://ijaup.iust.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-11-2195-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Raha Bahtooei raha.bahtooe@gmail.com 180031947532846008281 180031947532846008281 No Faculty of Art and Architecture, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran Kazem Mondegari Mondegari@yazd.ac.ir 180031947532846008282 180031947532846008282 Yes Faculty of Art and Architecture, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran Mohsen Abbasi Harofteh abbasi@yazd.ac.ir 180031947532846008283 180031947532846008283 No Faculty of Art and Architecture, Yazd University, Yazd, Iran
