A Study on Landscape Characteristics of Mount Tai in Big Data

초록

Mount Tai, with an elevation of 1,532 meters, has a reputation as ‘The Most Revered of the Five Sacred Mountains(五嶽獨尊)’, despite not being the highest mountain in China. With the popularization of social media, more and more contents of landscape experience are generated by people spontaneously. By analyzing the data about these contents, we can understand the landscape experience of individuals objectively. The purpose of this study is to investigate the landscape characteristics of Mount Tai by analyzing vocabulary frequency, the landscape types and elements, the Kernel Density, Mean Center and Standard Deviational Ellipse of the landscape elements in the text data about landscape experience of Mount Tai. The research results of this study are summarized as follows. First, by analyzing vocabulary frequency, the importance of “the summit of Mount Tai”, “climbing”, “it dwarfs all other hills(一览众山小)”, “sunrise”, “majestic”, “continuous peaks” as landscape elements is confirmed. Second, after 2020(2020∼2021), the proportion of “climbing” has increased, and at the same time “reaching to the top(登顶)” ranked the top 10 in the vocabulary frequency for the first time. Based on this, it is believed that people are more eager for outdoor activities and landscape experiences. Third, from the perspective of time series(2010∼2021), human activities is the most important one in six time periods, and as it comes closer to the present, people prefer the natural landscape more and more. Fourth, from the subdivision of landscape types, the order of importance is semantics, topography, image, meteorology, structures, behavior, and plants. Fifth, the spatial distribution of landscape elements is centered on “the summit of Mount Tai” and concentrates on the domain of Mount Tai, with almost no distribution in Lingyan Temple(灵岩寺), Haoli Mountain(蒿里山) and Lingying Palace(灵应宫). The results of this study provide necessary theoretical basis for future landscape conservation and improvement in Mount Tai.
