The Impact of Human and Environmental Components on the Occurrence of Interaction in the Landscape

Abstract

According to landscape definition, interaction is a key concept in landscape formation. Using strategies to increase the influence of the interaction elements (humans and the environment) in shaping and communicating with the landscape is an emerging concern that can be a major part of technology implementation in recent times. The interactive landscape is a different step towards strengthening the relationship between humans and places in a more purposeful approach. As a result, this article attempts to more precisely identify the interaction, as well as the characteristics and features that effectively improve the relationship between humans and the environment. In this regard, the environment and the occurrence of interaction, and the characteristics that affect it, are identified on the one hand, and human beings and human characteristics that affect the two-way relationship with the environment are identified on the other hand. The current study aims to answer the following question: What environmental and human characteristics are efficient in enhancing human interaction with the environment and forming an interactive landscape? This study aims to develop people’s relationships with the environment and strengthen the landscape’s interactive aspect. This article employs a descriptive-analytical approach to first investigate the concept of interaction and then analyze it to determine the effective indicators of interaction occurrence. Then, taking into account the importance of humans and the environment in the concept of landscape, it identifies environmental and human components that affect the strengthening of effective characteristics on the occurrence of interaction in the landscape by analyzing the contents based on human nature and the environment. This research suggests that to enhance the occurrence of interaction between humans and the environment, characteristics such as two-way relationships, activeness, variability, responsiveness, effectiveness, and affectedness need to be taken into consideration. Furthermore, the conditions of occurrence of interaction with the environment can be strengthened by using human and environmental characteristics based on their natures.
