Urbanization　has　caused　significant　landscape　changes　in　rural　areas,　leading　to　the　emergence　of　urbanized　landscapes　(ULs),　which　have　been　generally　criticized　by　authorities　and　professionals.　However,　perceptions　of　ULs　among　local　residents　have　rarely　been　studied.　In　this　study,　we　chose　five　typical　categories　of　ULs　from　rapidly　transforming　villages　in　Fujian　Province,　China　-　hardened　water　bank　(HWB),　big　pavilion　(BPA),　big　memorial　arch　(BMA),　big　ornamental　lawn　(BOL),　and　big　square　(BSQ)　to　do　the　study.　We　identified　how　these　ULs　were　rated　and　ranked　by　on-site　surveys,　as　well　as　how　related　aesthetic　and　multifunctional　landscape　characters　(LCs)　played　a　role.　The　results　(N=550)　showed　that　1)　residents　supported　the　construction　of　ULs,　and　the　most　preferred　category　was　that　with　the　most　natural　elements　(BOL)　that　was　simultaneously　well　maintained.　2)　For　the　residents,　the　longer　they　had　resided　in　the　village　and　the　fewer　connections　they　had　with　the　city,　the　more　in　favor　they　were　of　the　ULs,　and　the　more　eager　they　were　for　landscape　change.　In　addition,　residents　with　higher　education　and　Communist　Party　of　China　membership　valued　the　naturalness　related　LCs　more　highly.　3)　Two　contradictory　preference　features,　naturalness　and　livability,　should　be　well　coordinated　and　balanced　to　construct　an　improved　favorable　village　for　the　residents,　to　realize　a　balanced　and　sustainable　development　path.　This　study　makes　great　theoretical　contributions　to　landscape　research　and　provides　new　insights　into　rural　planning　and　construction.
