摘要：The research took place in a small urban setting, centered on a square type landscape unit, belonging to a town with obvious tourist inclination located in the way of locals and an important flow of tourists. The study started from a simple, yet modern premise: the extent to which the visitors and the “consumers” of a landscape-like set up unit are interested in the natural aspect of that unit. This is due to the context of the impression and strong attraction that the medieval fortress of Sighişoara (UNESCO site) and the myth of Dracula exert. The natural part of the square taken into consideration in the study is very well represented on categories, on a very small surface one being able to recognise from the simple vegetation components to combinations suggesting the ambient-landscape note. Apart from studying the ambient environment of the square and of the neighbouring environment, 112 subjects, locals, and tourists have been questioned. They expressed themselves orally, appreciating the natural elements featured in the square. From their statements resulted the fact that no matter the power of attraction a tourist site had, the appetite of the visitors of a landscape unit for nature and the states associated to nature is high, concluding that the direct or indirect attraction for nature is situated between 16-58%.
