Spatial and Temporal Dynamics of Public Behaviour in Diverse Cultural Landscapes: A Comparative Observational Study in Xishuangbanna, China
Keywords:
Cultural landscapes, physical forms, public behaviours, behavioural patternsAbstract
Cultural landscapes reflect the dynamic interaction between human activities and the natural environment, expressed through physical forms, cultural values, and spatial practices. However, research on actual public behaviours and their spatial distribution remains limited. This study examines public behaviours across three cultural landscape sites in Xishuangbanna, China: Ganlanba Dai Ethnic Park, Manting Park–Zongfosi Temple, and Mengjinglai. Structured non-participant observations were conducted over three consecutive days. The findings reveal the coexistence of daily activities, tourism, and cultural participation, highlighting variations in behavioural patterns and spatial preferences. The results inform visitor circulation, activity space planning, and landscape management.
