As social interest in landscape is increasing, collaboration with various fields is being carried out in landscape planning and projects. However, there is a lack of research of publications on landscape grossaries to enhance understanding of terms commonly used in the field of landscape. Therefore, in this study, the trends and frequencies of the current landscape terms was analyzed to prepare the basis for the landscape terminology dictionary. The study was conducted by analyzing trends in landscape terms in domestic landscape planning reports and books.
First, the frequency of counts all collected terms were reviewed and each explanations were compared, and secondly, the frequency changes of terms before and after the revision of the Landscape Act were compared with the term types. The terms with the highest frequency were terms such as ‘skyline, view point, and visibility’, which are mainly used only in the field of landscape, and the interpretation of these terms tended to be similarly written by referring to authorized books. In addition, as a result of comparing the frequencies before and after the revision of the Landscape Act, the number of terms related to nightscape that needs to be explained has increased. The frequency of terms by type was analyzed by two criteria: classification according to conceptual standards and classification according to the characteristics of the subject. The frequent types of landscape terminology were terms in the physical objects for current landscape, and implementation guidelines or plannings. The frequency and trend of terminology in the results of this study can be used as criteria for term selection or classification for systematization of landscape terminology in the future, and are meaningful as a basis for establishing a landscape terminology dictionary.
