environment and to experience and enjoy nature. Hence, the
evaluation of scenes that the residents prefer from their windows
becomes important for the design of residences in the urban
context. Literature has established that the view of nature has had a
positive effect on the health and well-being of urban residents. This

by people, whether natural or other than natural. The aim of the
paper is to investigate people's preferences for window views with
nature vis-a-vis those lacking nature. The objectives of the paper
are: to study various window views from different urban residences,
to analyze people’s satisfaction associated with different views,
and to identify which views add to more satisfaction to the people
viz. natural or other than natural. The method used is, people's
evaluation of window views from their house using a face-to-face
interview technique. The random sampling consisted of 56 people
living in urban residences in various parts of the city of Pune. The
scope of the study is to reveal which surrounding views need to
