Abstract:The street and alley appearance is an important component of the traditional village landscape. To explore the visual perception characteristics of tourists towards the street and alley appearance in traditional villages, this paper adopts eye movement experiments, deep learning image semantic segmentation and subjective questionnaires to conduct qualitative and quantitative evaluations of the street and alley space appearance. The results show that the tourists’ gazes are mostly concentrated on buildings, landscape nodes and the end of the road, and tourists’ average fixation time on landmarks and landscape nodes is longer. Comfort and orderliness, plant configuration, color, coordination and visual hie-rarchy all show significant positive correlations. The average fixation count shows significant positive correlations with green view ratio, plant configuration and color, and a significant negative correlation with building enclosure degree. There are significant differences in tourists’ visual perception of street and alley scenes with different element proportions.
