近年來隨著使用者對環境景觀品質的日漸重視，景觀規劃設計者深切體認到景觀相關研究之質與量的不足。造園學報由1993年創刊至今十二年期間，已有相當數量之研究成果發表。本研究依發表文章之研究主題、研究地點、研究對象、使用工具、統計方法，及作者特性加以分析討論，期望了解目前台灣景觀領域研究者之研究方向，並對未來之研究發展提出建議。造園學報發刊近十二年間，研究主題以景觀認知及知覺類爲大宗，佔總刊印論文篇次之46%，研究地點主要爲公園（包括都市綠地），而研究對象主要爲學生，研究論文在研究工具的選定以一般問卷法最常被使用，使用之統計方法，除了基礎的描述性統計之外，主要爲變異數分析、相關分析、因素分析及迴歸分析爲多，作者主要爲園藝領域背景、休間觀光領域及景觀領域背景之研究者，作者一致性高。本研究期望景觀相關領域研究者積極進行研究，並將研究成果發表推廣，以有助於景觀實務者之規劃設計工作；而景觀實務工作者亦能不斷參與研究之發展、提供研究人員研究議題與方向，使台灣景觀專業領域之品質更有創造性的提昇。

More and more concern has been emphasized on the environmental landscapes in Taiwan. Landscape planners and designers feel the shortage of landscape researches both on their quality and quantity. Journal of landscape have been published for more than 10 years, which accumulated many research fruitful results in this professional field. This study tries to analyze and make suggestions on the landscape professional field by discussing the study themes, the study sites, their subjects, instruments being used, statistical methods, and author affiliations. For the past 12 years, there were 46 articles study the landscape cognition issue, which makes it the most popular topic in this journal. Major study sites were the parks and greenery areas and major subjects were students. In comparison with other study instrument, questionnaire was the most popular one. Besides the descriptive statistics, the ANOVA, regression, and the correlation were most applied statistical methods. Most authors were from department of horticulture and landscape department, with high consistency on these authors. Finally, this study makes suggestions to landscape researchers, hoping they can have more studies being promoted to the practitioners for improving the planning and design works. Also, the practitioners should make suggestions to the researchers and learn how to use the study results to make their works more accountability and defensibility in landscape planning and design process.
