Intuitive spatial interaction in landscape design

Research in landscape architecture (LA) is an important area to improve natural, anthropogenic, social and economic sustainability. The focus point of the article is territory of historical greenery (THG) of LA, which originates as a result of interaction between material environment design and society. The study of THG problems today is based on the innate human right to live in a harmonious space of both aesthetic material and natural environment. Environmental quality criteria are important to understand the nature and human interaction embodied in LA as an expression of applied art. Therefore, urban spaces formed by the anthropogenic objects of LA, require studies of the systemic relationship between the material and natural environment and its function as a whole. Based on heuristic, qualitative and quantitative research methods and literature review of case studies, the article discusses the problems of interaction between contemporary society, historic legacy and natural processes. In this article, authors explore the natural human abilities to perceive and interact with the environment on the intuitive level. Universal design aims provide a value basis for social, cultural and functional interaction harmonization of the environment on the intuitive level. More universal and intuitive approach reveals the potential to enhance spatial interaction with the THG and to improve quality of its future management and development scenarios.
