(Perbedaan dalam Respon Manusia terhadap Lanskap Alami antara Pelajar Jepang dan
Indonesia)
Abstract
People in different culture distinguish in their response to the environment, especially in interpretation and
understanding of the perceived landscape. In order to plan and manage the environment for the selection of landscape
with the aim of special care, protection, and amenity, it is crucial that people effectively participate and measure the
existing values which nature represents to local residents. The purpose of this study was to clarify the differences of
landscape recognition of Japan and Indonesia and to find the landscape element which is highly valued. The study was
conducted with the following six steps, namely, photos collection, photo grouping, preference evaluation, exoticism
evaluation, analysis, and recommendation. Cluster analysis (Ward’s method, squared Euclidean distance) was applied
for the analysis of photo categories, and Mann-Whitney U Test was applied to examine the significant differences. In
photo grouping, seven natural landscape photos of Japan and Indonesia were categorized in different groups. Forest
photos were categorized as wetland by Japanese students. Two rivers, lake, and forest photos were categorized by
Indonesian students, but Japanese students categorized it as forest and mountain in distant view. Japanese students also
distinguished the wetland as wetland in distant view and wetland in close-up view. The results of preference evaluation
show that significant differences were detected in 25 photos of 68 photos. The exoticism evaluation detected significant
differences in 48 photos of 68 photos. Neither Japanese nor Indonesian students recognized forest and wetland.
However, either the Japanese or Indonesian students preferred waterfall or coast than the others. Based on exoticism
evaluation, river and wetland were not recognized, but coast and waterfall were recognized by both of countries. Both
of countries shared commonality in landscape photographs evaluation of preference and exoticism, but differences had
been found in landscape recognition based on the way of seeing landscape.
Keywords: environment perspetive, cluster analysis, exoticism, photo grouping, preference, landscape photographs.
Abstrak
Manusia dalam budaya yang berbeda membedakan respon mereka terhadap lingkungan, khususnya dalam
interpretasi dan pemahaman lanskap yang dilihat atau dirasakan. Dalam rangka merencanakan dan mengelola
lingkungan untuk pemilihan lanskap dengan tujuan perawatan khusus, perlindungan, dan kenyamanan, sangat penting
bahwa manusia berpartisipasi secara efektif dan mengukur nilai-nilai eksisting yang alam berikan bagi penduduk lokal.
Preferensi lanskap alami penting dalam perencanaan lanskap dari sudut pandang wisata. Tujuan dari penelitian ini
adalah untuk mengklarifikasi perbedaan dalam pengenalan lanskap di Jepang dan Indonesia dan menemukans elemen
lanskap yang dinilai tinggi. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan dengan enam tahapan, yaitu pengumpulan foto,
pengelompokkan foto, evaluasi preferensi, evaluasi eksotisme, analisis dan rekomendasi. Analisis klaster (metode
Ward, jarak Euclidian kuadrat) digunakan untuk analisis kelompok foto dan uji Mann-Whitney U digunakan untuk
menguji perbedaan nyata. Dalam pengelompokan foto, tujuh foto lanskap alami di Jepang dan Indonesia
dikelompokkan ke dalam grup yang berbeda. Foto hutan dikelompokkan sebagai lahan basah oleh pelajar Jepang. Dua
foto sungai, danau, dan hutan dikelompokkan oleh pelajar Indonesia, tetapi pelajar Jepang mengelompokkannya
sebagai hutan dan gunung pada jarak jauh. Pelajar Jepang juga membedakan lahan basah sebagai lahan basah pada
jarak jauh dan lahan basah pada jarak dekat. Hasil evaluasi preferensi menunjukkan bahwa perbedaan nyata
ditemukan pada 25 foto dari 68 foto. Evaluasi eksotisme menemukan perbedaan nyata dalam 48 foto dari 68 foto.
Pelajar Jepang dan Indonesia tidak memilih hutan dan lahan basah. Namun, keduanya lebih memilih air terjun dan
pesisir daripada jenis lanskap lainnya. Berdasarkan evaluasi eksotisme, sungai dan lahan basah tidak dipilih,
sedangkan pesisir dan air terjun lebih dipilih oleh kedua negara. Kedua negara tersebut memiliki persamaan dalam
