As 3D technology advances, many designers are using 3D technology in their design research. Environment designers, in particular, conduct public design research using 3D simulation technology. In the field of environmental design, green space is an important factor in determining the image of public design. Green space, however, has different visual preferences as the seasons change. Thus, this research aimed to analyze the visual preferences of streetscape according to the seasons change using 3D simulation technology. The result of the study shows that the autumn image of maple background and ginkgo background are more preferred than the winter image of maple background and ginkgo background. In conclusion, the change of seasons is a crucial factor in determining the visual preference of the landscape. Designers, therefore, should consider the variation of seasons as well as the shape of streetscape to improve the visual preference of a streetscape. These findings could also be applied as theoretical data to conduct the public design.
