### Statistical Analysis of Eye-Movement Data
#### 4.1.1 Analysis of Differences in Eye-Movement Indicators in Different Types of Public Spaces
Among them, the public green space had the highest number of eye bounces and gazes (90 and 91, respectively), while the square space had the lower numbers of saccade counts and fixation counts, which means that the subjects searched for more information on and were more interested in the landscape composition of the public green space. The information search for the square space was smaller, the importance of this space was lower, the scene characteristics were clear at a glance, and the landscape composition was not rich enough. In summary, when the subjects observed different types of rural public space scenes, they were more interested in the public green space landscape than the other three spatial landscapes (in descending order: public green space, waterfront space, street space, and square space). In terms of feature distinctness, the square space was the most prominent, and the subjects searched for the most information on the public green space landscape. The most cognitive effort was made for the street space landscape. The subject's visual behavioral information was influenced by the feature distinctness of the public space landscapes.

Based on the classification of the four types of public spaces in Huangshandian Village, we calculated the average fixation duration, fixation count, saccade amplitude, and saccade count, and we summarized them based on the screened eye-movement-index values (Table 3). The suitability of this test was verified through a homogeneity test for all four spatial categories of eye movement index values before analyzing the comparison among variables. ANOVA was used to verify whether there was a significant difference between the eye-movement indicators of the two user groups in different public spaces. The differences and effect sizes were further analyzed for the data with significance. The Cohen's \(f\)[69] and \(\eta^{2}=z^{2}/N\)[70] were adopted to calculate the effect size (Small: \(>\)0.1 and \(<\)0.25; Medium: \(>\)0.25 and \(<\)0.4; Large: \(>\)0.4). We observed substantial differences in the subject's eye-movement indicators for different types of public spaces and users, and the comparative study between the two had some relevance. Average fixation duration: The average fixation duration of four kinds of spaces passed the homogeneity test (\(p\) = 0.397, \(p\) = 0.171, \(p\) = 0.245, \(p\) = 0.147), which verified the applicability of this test. As seen in Figure 4a, the average fixation durations of the visitors were all higher than the local residents, which indicates that the visitors worked harder than the local residents to perceive the public spaces. The longest average fixation duration was 0.41 s for the street space, and the shortest was 0.27 s for the plaza space, figures which were demonstrated by the local residents. The longest average fixation duration was 0.47 s for the public green space, and the shortest was 0.29 s for the plaza space, figures which were demonstrated by the tourists. The shortest average fixation duration was 0.29 s. According to the analysis of variance, the average fixation duration of the local residents and visitors in the waterfront space (\(p<0.05\), \(\eta^{2}\) = 0.315) and the public green space (\(p<0.01\), \(\eta^{2}\) = 0.746) were significantly different, and the value expressed by the latter was significantly greater than that of the former, and the degree of difference was different to a large extent, however it was not suitable for the square space and the street space. Fixation count: The fixation count of four kinds of spaces passed the homogeneity test (\(p\) = 0.242, \(p\) = 0.176, \(p\) = 0.514, \(p\) = 0.178), which verified the applicability of this test.
