Abstract This study is about finding out the preferred urban road landscape and suggest a way to plan it. The result summarized as follows. ??First, local characters must be regarded during urban development and expansion. Especially, undeveloped areas with high potential or open space need systematic management. Second, the unvarying shape of roof like the flat-type roof and simple repetition of horizontal and vertical openings are the most serious problems concerning the building shapes. Third, design elements concerning the planing of street area??are space structure, street type and building shape, what pedestrians considered most important was street type,??next was building shape and last was space structure. ??Finally, the trends of road landscape preference is that once the space had been obtained roadside trees and a green environment was properly planted and also continuous building lines were preferred the most by pedestrians.
