　　當提及各國校園的規劃與設計，西方設計為其設計主流。不論設計模式與地點為何，校園規劃上常以建築配置為主軸，而空間則是被建築物所劃分出來。然而在整體規劃中，戶外開放空間所需要的動線、學習、休閒與美感等機能卻經常被忽略。因此在景觀設計上，必須要尋求新的觀念，針對不同的開放空間進行設計，而使用者需求則是一個成功設計的重要關鍵。本研究主要目的在於評估開放空間的景觀元素設計中，使用者之行為與其喜好。
　　本研究以國立嘉義大學新民校區之三處廣場為研究對象。本校區位於嘉義市中心，佔地14.91公頃。本研究進行兩次實驗，實驗一使用三張廣場的全景照片，受測者則針對其使用頻率與對與廣場的建議給予1-5的評分，廣場使用情形則根據這些使用者行為與建議，例如從事何種活動、為何來到廣場，與其對廣場的改善建議等之評分來進行分析。實驗二針對各廣場進行多種元素設計之模擬，調查使用者之景觀偏好。48張彩色元素設計模擬圖中使用不同樹形之樹木，如傘形、柱形與金字塔形樹，以及不同色彩的草花，包括黃色、紅色與藍色草花來進行配置。為了防止受測者對背景的偏好影響實驗結果，相同的廣場皆使用相同背景照片進行合成。
　　實驗一結果顯示，三處廣場中，位於大樓間的廣場的使用頻率最高。在這個廣場中，「走路」與「四處看看」是最常從事的活動，其中「走路」是所有活動中顯著最高的，其p < 0.05。所有廣場中，「經過」是來到這些廣場最主要的原因，其次分別為「打發時間 / 坐著」與「出來戶外 / 空氣新鮮」。多數受測者希望廣場能增加綠化。實驗二結果則顯示，黃色草花與傘形樹的搭配是使用者偏好最高的組合。

Talking about campus plans or design in several countries, the Western design have became main pattern. Whatever the model selected and whatever the site, a campus plan will almost always be the arrangement of buildings with spaces created between them. However, in the master plan, the outdoor open spaces necessary for circulation, study, relaxation and aesthetic pleasure was frequently ignored. It is necessary to find different designs of open spaces with the aim to have some new perceptions for the landscaping. User requirements are the key to get a successful design. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the user activities and preferences in element design of open spaces.
Three plazas at Sinmin campus of National Chiayi University were studied. The campus has an area of 14.91 hectares and is located at the central of Chiayi city, Taiwan. Two studies were presented, study A and B. In the study A, three plazas panoramic photographs were used and the respondents were asked to give rating scales of 1-5 based on the frequency of usage of the plaza and their suggestions for plaza improvement. Plaza usage were analyzed according to user simple activities and requirements in the plazas such as what they usually do there, their reasons to visit those areas, and what are their suggestions to modified the plaza by giving scale to options given.
Study B, on the other hand investigated the user scenic preferences of various simulated element designs of plazas. 48 color pictures of element designs were simulated using various kind of tree model consisted of umbrella form, columnar form, and pyramidal form. Also flower colors consisted of yellow, red and blue, were used. To prevent the bias from the background influence, all pictures of each plaza was taken with the same background.
In the study A, result showed that there is significant difference between each plaza which plaza one (located among school building) was the most used compared with the other plaza. The most frequent activities in three plazas were walking and watching and walking was significantly highest among all activities at p < 0.05. In all plazas, “pass through” were the main reason they use the plaza, the second and third were come to sit and outdoors/fresh air, respectively. Most of respondents preferred “more greenery” for plazas improvement.
Study B, showed that yellow flower and umbrella tree form were the most preferred and their combination had the highest preference than the other combinations.
