- Abstract in English : The authors are dealing with cultural factors affecting Perception op urban Forest. As people from all over the world live in Canadian cities, it was hypothesized that people with different cultural backgrounds would have different perceptions of urban forest. The research concerns British, Chinese, Italian and Portuguese communities. Three landscape histories have been identified: British, Chinese and Mediterranean. These cultural differences are largely consistent with the traditional use of trees in British, Mediterranean and Chinese landscaping, and appear to be maintained among North American immigrant populations.
