A Study on the Relationship Between Red Memorial Landscape Perception, Collective Memory, and Identity—Take the Martyrs Monument as An Example

Landscape Perception, Memory and Identity are hot topics in landscape research and emotional research in new cultural geography. Although the relationship between the three is supported by a small number of empirical cases, there is a lack of corresponding quantitative research. In this context, the article introduces the commonly used testing methods of intermediary effects in psychology and economics to geography, takes red landscape perception as an independent variable, collective memory as an intermediary variable, and identification as a dependent variable. SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 24.0 are used to analyze the relationship between “landscape perception-collective memory-identity”. The results of the research are as follows: 1) On the whole, residents have a higher perception of the red cultural landscape, but the recognition of image appearance items varies.2) Landscape perception variables can predict collective memory variables. 3) Collective memory positively affects residents’ sense of identity. 4) Landscape perception can not only directly act on identity, but also have a positive effect on residents’ sense of identity through collective memory of residents, and part of the mediating effect played by collective memory has been verified.
