This study examined the reliability of the Complementary Location Survey using Digital Space (CLS-DS) for application in architectural design education. The findings are as follows: 1) CLS-DS can capture nearby topographic features along with their orientation, though it has difficulty detecting elevation changes within a site. 2) CLS-DS can distinguish surrounding landscapes from an eye-level perspective; however, low-profile and flat objects are difficult to recognize. 3) CLS-DS can identify facilities labelled on maps, as well as known landmarks and broad areas in specific directions, even when not directly visible from the site.
