通过研究德克萨斯州5个项目/案例的经济绩效成果，评估了风景园林与经济活动之间的关系。5个项目/案例分别为：克莱德•沃伦公园（Klyde Warren Park）、凯蒂步道（Katy Trail）、德州大学达拉斯分校校园特色景观概念性规划（UT Dalas Campus Identity and Landscape Framework Plan）、阿狄森公园（Addison Circle）和布法罗河湾散步道（Buffalo Bayou Promenade）。研究采用了定量和定性相结合的实证调查法，首先评价了风景园林设计及相关设计领域的经济评估和绩效研究情况。之后重点研究了所选项目的景观类型、过程和结果，以突出在经济绩效研究中，确定统一标准和全面框架的重要性。最后，讨论了通过实证证据和系统性调查对经济活动进行研究的价值，并将经济活动作为景观绩效的一部分。总之，综合标准、方法与案例研究的结果来说明不同城市风景园林设计类型项目的经济影响，还讨论了通过统一标准方法来获得可靠实证结果的价值。结果表明，从案例中可以看到，经济绩效并不总是容易被量化的，同样也并非所有的设计改进均与经济活动直接相关。因此，这项研究强调了记录指定的景观项目中所有直接、间接和连锁的经济效应，并突出其经济价值的重要性。这也表明，未来的风景园林设计将对社会产生更大的经济影响和价值。%This paper evaluates the relationship between landscape architecture and economic activity by reviewing the economic performance findings from five projects/case studies in Texas. The landscape architecture projects/typologies reviewed are: Klyde Warren Park; Katy Trail; UT Dalas Campus Identity and Landscape Framework Plan; Addison Circle; Buffalo Bayou Promenade. The research is an empirical inquiry on project evaluation which combines quantitative and qualitative methods. First, the paper reviews economic evaluation and performance studies in landscape architecture and relevant design fields. Second, the paper focuses on the selected landscape typologies, procedures and findings to highlight the importance of identifying consistent criteria, and comprehensive framework to study economic performance. Finaly, it discusses the value of studying economic activity as part of landscape performance with empirical evidence and systematic research. In conclusion, the paper synthesizes criteria, methods, and findings from the case studies to ilustrate the economic implications of varying urban landscape architecture project typologies. The paper also discusses the value of utilizing consistent set of criteria and methods to acquire reliable empirical results. The results reveal that economic performance is not always easily quantifiable, nor that al design improvements directly tie to economic activity in landscape architecture based on the case studies reviewed. Therefore, this research emphasizes the importance of documenting al direct, indirect, and ripple economic effects of a given landscape architecture project to highlight its economic value. Such emphasis also denotes a critical dimension of landscape architecture’s future to communicate the greater economic impact and value to the society.
