五感意指視覺、聽覺、嗅覺、味覺、觸覺，而人類主要藉由這些感官來與世界作互動，並了解這世界，目前五感在景觀上只充份表現了視覺與景觀上的互動，而其它四感在景觀上幾乎很少被用到，為了能讓觀賞者與景觀之間有更多互動，而不只是做眼神上的交流，所以與景觀植栽設計做結合，來讓觀賞者有更多的五感體驗。
本研究以瑪家鄉瑪家村作為五感體驗的景觀植栽設計基地，並藉由瑪家村當地植物來塑造當地景觀，研究方法將以文獻探討、案例分析五感理論、景觀植栽在景觀上的應用，從中瞭解用於景觀植栽設計上有那些要點，再利用訪談與觀察了解當地的原生植物種類與居民之間的關係，本研究目的藉由五感理論所構築的景觀植栽設計讓遊客能更嘹解與體驗原住民景觀。
本研究結果發現五感體驗的景觀植栽設計需要由多樣的植栽來去組合搭配，且獨立一個景觀植栽設計很難包含全部且完整的五感體驗，所以植栽設計要以主題式的方式強化各個五感體驗做為景觀植栽設計。在原住民景觀中以農作植物及民俗植物最能表達原住民的景觀及生活方式，所以在設計上應多加運用農作植物及民俗植物。 Five senses means sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. One can communicate with and understand the world by those five senses. At present, among five senses, there is only visual sense is more often to be used to represent the interaction between visual and view in landscape. Other four senses except for visual sense are seldom to be mentioned and researched. The purpose of the study is to apply five senses on landscape planting design to bring more interactions between viewer and landscape.
This study is to apply five senses theory in the planting design of Majia village and using the local plants to form the local landscape. The methodology is such as literature reviews, case studies, five senses, planting design. Firstly, it is to understand the principles of landscape planting design, and secondly, to understand the relationship between plants and residents through interviews and observations. The purpose of the study is to understand and experience aboriginal landscape through landscape planting design constituted by five senses.
This study finds out that landscape planting design of five senses experience needs plural plantation to be composed. The single planting design is hard to include the whole five senses. Therefore, planting design should use thematic way to emphasize each sense experience. Aboriginal crops and folklore plants can most express the aboriginal landscape and living style so that one can apply them to landscape design.
