Abstract

Landscape architecture is a multidimensional approach that experts definit various aspects for it. Also, it is
a interdisciplinary profession that find its way by interaction with different sciences. Cultural and natural
environment, leisure times, visual arts, humanities sciences, technical sciences that are related to the nature
understanding, plant species, infrastructures and many other fields are used in a target and arranged process
for achieving the theory of landscape architecture. because of involving numerous variables parameters,
academic review of this field has so many complexities. Despite of existing of researches that have been
done in related to the landscape architecture dimentions and its qualities, there is a few specific methods
and frameworks for checking the studies of this field yet. So this article is codified in the same line with
this issue and the aim of it, is recognition of major tools that are related to analysing of different dimentions
of landscape. It wants to make regular and arranged the studies of landscape field approximately. Analysis
tools mentioned in the article are collected with reference to previous studies and then are catogorized based
on their studing subject in the framework of mentioned objects for the landscape architecture. After a brief
introduction of some tools, finally five case of them inclusive of LAA, VIA, EIA, SEA, SIA with aesthetics,
environmental and sociocultural subjects and are more comprehensive are studied more. Characteristics
of each tool in terms of methods and techniques to advance the process are described. finally we have an
comparative checking between tools of an object to better understanding and ease selection. The conclusion
of this article is determiner of a framework for classifing and introduction of existing methods of landscape
analysing based on objects, tools and analysis techniques and can be a base article in the field of different
