Rubbish in a forest environment is a great threat to this ecosystem, but this threat may also apply to the lost benefits for visitors to the forest. Previous studies proved that forest areas have a positive effect on obtaining psychological relaxation in the people visiting them. However, it was not known whether this restorative experience could be disturbed in any way by the presence of an open dump in the forest. To check how the presence of a landfill affects the visitors, an experiment was planned in which the respondents observed a forest area with a landfill and a forest landscape without a landfill for 15 minutes (control). The respondents then assessed the landscape using the semantic differential method and the Perceived Restorativeness Scale (PRS). An analysis of these observations showed that the presence of a landfill in the forest significantly changed the appreciation of the landscape by the respondents, the values of positive experiences decreased, and the negative experiences increased. Restorativeness was also reduced. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the presence of garbage in the forest may interrupt the restorative experience of its visitors.

Proceeding from the industrial design, this paper proposed the concept of product form gene with combining the product form and product style, and researched on the extraction of product form gene based on constraint style. It explained how to express product form gene based on style constraints, and construct the description model of product style semantic. This paper using analytic hierarchy process and semantic differential method to extract product gene, and take the real example to illustrate and validate, thereby providing a certain methodology direction for extraction of product form gene.
