summary |
Evaluating Urban green space Characteristics and Human Perceptions (UCHP) is crucial for landscape design and management due to their impact on public health. Online park reviews provide valuable insights into human-environment interactions, enabling the large-scale evaluation of UCHP. However, existing approaches to classify online park reviews commonly ignore text context, leading to low precision of UCHP quantification and supervised approaches are rarely applied due to huge cost. To improve the precision and effectiveness of UCHP quantification, we propose a novel workflow comprising five stages: custom lexicon creation, design of labels for a Large Language Model (LLM), sentence classification using lexicon and LLM, and performance evaluation using a manually annotated dataset and four metrics: precision, recall, accuracy, and F1 score. To examine the performance of the LLM, we compared the classification of 15 UCHP using LLM, lexicon, and lexicon+LLM. The analysis involved utilizing online park review sentences from Google Map and TripAdvisor using the proposed workflow. The higher precision, accuracy and F1 score demonstrate that combination of lexicon and LLM yields the highest performance, followed by using only lexicon and then solely LLM. This performance evaluation demonstrates the validity of the proposed LLM-aided workflow, providing a practical, reliable, and efficient alternative to the lower performance of unsupervised methods, or costly supervised classification methods. We discuss the limitations of lexicon+LLM and outline new opportunities for LLM application in landscape studies. |
