| Summary: Proportion of landscaped green coverage in limited and expensive urbanized areas is decreasing day by day as a result of industrialization. Alternatively, green coverage can be distributed linearly around the city to overcome this situation in urbanized areas. This can be achieved by using linear plant compositions such as hedgerows in landscape design. The aim of this study was to investigate, physical properties, space based usage, difference in sensing the linear elements and its co variation with design concept rules. Five different types of areas, residence, public, industrial, transportation and open green are surveyed to define linear plant compositions status. One hundred fields are photographed and grouped using cluster analysis technique to analyze visual impact of hedgerows. One photo representing every group of cluster is used to apply Semantic Differential Technique (SDT) on previously designed questionnaire.Consequently, it is concluded that functions of linear compositions are changing for different usage types and hedgerows with high level esthetics are more preferable. Some implications for future linear planting activities are pointed out and suggestions are given. Keywords: Linear plant composition, Hedgerow, Semantic Differential Technique | |||||||||||||||||||||
