Abstract The issues of publicness and design strategies related to edible landscapes in urban and rural public spaces are delved in this paper by drawing upon the lens of ecological settlement theory. Edible
landscape goes beyond the mere arrangement of edible organisms within landscape design, but also foster community cohesion and participation. By employing theoretical frameworks,conducting literature research, and examining historical case studies, this paper examined the origins,driving forces, and spatial implications of the concepts of edible landscapes and edible cities. Specifically, the manifestations and significance in terms of publicness across material, social,and spatial dimensions were explored.Strategies and recommendations aimed at cnhancing the publicness of edible landscapes were summarized. Edible landscapes posscss resilient potential in constructing and integrating urban public spaces,shaping intangible and dynamic spatial forms, and fostering cohesion in rural public spaces. Based on the settlement theory, this paper places emphasis on the interaction and connection between“human-nature”and“human-human”, thereby establishing a preliminary framework for defining the applicability of edible landscapes in urban and rural public spaces. The current work provides a theoretical foundation and practical insights for the design and implementation of edible landscapes.
