| Abstract;This study assessed the water depth in the channel that created perception of beauty for channel landscape in terms of preserving and/or creating amenity spaces in rural areas. Visual evaluation tests were carried out to identify the relation between the water depth in the channel and its attractiveness. The results of the tests and analyses were as follows: (1) Excellent visibility of the channel and surrounding landscape results when subjects stand about 1m apart from a channel or on a bridge across a channel. (2) The effect of water depth on the attractiveness of the channel was assessed by having subjects choose the level that they found most pleasing of the five tested(0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the channel depth). The results show that this method effectively identified the water depth necessary for a favorable impression of the channel and the surrounding landscape. (3) The water depth that creates a perception of beauty is 75% of the maximum depth of a concrete channel, 25%-75% of maximum for an unlined channel, and 25% of maximum for a masonry channel.
