[Objective] In recent years, research on vernacular landscapes has shifted from a primary focus on physical entities and historical significance to a greater emphasis on the perception of landscape value by individuals and communities. This paradigm shift has been significantly supported by the advent of digital technologies, which offer a diverse tools and methodologies. This study aims to explore the comprehensive application of digital technologies in vernacular landscape research.
[Methods] The study reviews and synthesizes the key research dimensions and digital methodologies employed in vernacular landscape studies. It identifies the essential elements and underlying meanings of vernacular landscapes, and elucidates the intrinsic connections between vernacular landscapes and the theory of sense of place concerning value perception. Additionally, it examines the role of vernacular landscapes within the context of cultural landscape heritage, focusing on their significance in heritage conservation and tourism.
[Results/conclusion] Building on this foundation, the study explores how digital technologies can be leveraged to collect landscape information, identify landscape value, and enhance the presentation and conservation of landscape heritage. It proposes an integrated research methodology that combines qualitative and quantitative analyses using digital tools. This approach aims to provide a more comprehensive, in-depth, and inclusive understanding of the value of vernacular landscapes, from data collection and analysis to visualization, while also offering technical support and data-driven foundations for their adaptive conservation.
