摘要：AbstractBiophilia discussed on the similarity of human intrinsic values that bonded mankind with the environment. This paper aimed to investigate the similarity trait of experts and non-experts in assessing the aesthetic quality of ecological landscape. Thus, selected visual aspects are tested to identify the visual concepts that represent the emotional attachment of both groups. Therefore, 5 photographs of ecological landscapes have been used in a conducted survey of 51 experts and 126 non-experts. By using Different Item Functioning (DIF) analysis, the results indicate that complexity, naturalness and legibility are the dominant visual concepts endorsed by both groups.
