The survey results showed that 1 Sa altar has the highest perceptibility, and drum tower has the lowest perceptibility; 2 Sa altar and drum tower have the highest recognizability, overall layout, totem signs and environment have the lowest; 3 Location has the highest perceptibility and size has the poorest; 4 Sentiment has the highest perceptibility, function the lowest; 5 Men have higher perception and sense of recognition than women; 6 Education background has greater impact on perception, but no obvious impact on sense of recognition; 7 Length of residence in the village has positive effect on perception and sense of recognition; 8 Distance from the village has positive effect on perception and sense of recognition.
