Abstract
The landscape visual effect of a city, which is generated by its long-term development, is an important index in city planning. In this study, we build a quantitative evaluation and remote sensing estimation scheme of landscape visual effect. The study contains two main steps. First, utilizing the Elo rating system and in situ sampled panoramic pictures, the quantitative assessment of the city landscape visual effect was carried out. Then, the landscape visual effect estimation model was built and applied to Landsat remote sensing image to generate the spatial distribution of landscape visual effect in Zhengzhou city, 2017. At last, the effect of different combination of land use and elevation to the landscape visual effect was discussed. The results showed the following: (1) the Elo rating system is an effective method to quantitatively evaluate the city landscape visual effect; (2) the landscape visual effect remote sensing estimation model had a good performance, with the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) and root mean square error (RMSE) of the model are less than 0.05 and 80, respectively; (3) the landscape visual effect score of Zhengzhou city, 2017, was high in the southwest and low in the northeast; (4) different land use situation and average surface elevation had a complex influence on the landscape visual effect.

Abstract
This study investigates the effect of art on promoting the meaning of the urban space. After considering the semantic dimension of the urban space and the mechanism of transferring the meanings of art through the views of experts, a model is presented for examining the art’s cooperation in promoting urban space meaning. In the first stage, the categories of space meanings influenced by art were extracted using the qualitative method of interpretative phenomenological analysis, and by examining 61 in-depth interviews in 6 urban spaces eligible for urban art in Tehran. In the second stage, these categories were surveyed in these spaces through 600 questionnaires after converting to the questionnaire items. Based on the results, “experience and perception capability”, “social participation”, and “relationship with context” were the main themes of the semantic relationships between art and urban space. Further, the lower scores related to the theme of “social participation” in the quantitative investigations indicate that this theme was weaker than the other themes in promoting the meaning of the urban space through the art in the selected urban spaces.
