TL;DR: Shafer et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a regression model that predicts preference scores for black and white photographs of natural landscapes, which can be applied to individual and groups of landscape photographs; and theory development suggested by the model's terms are discussed.

TL;DR: Carlson, A.A. et al. as mentioned in this paper discuss the possibility of quantifying scenic beauty in the natural environment from the point of view of philosophical aesthetics and bring out certain general themes which characterize this work and contribute to its overall approach.

TL;DR: It is pointed out that the importance of the landscape structure should be considered both for conservation of endangered species and for prevention of pest outbreak.

TL;DR: Leonard and Cobham as mentioned in this paper discuss the nature of the growing concern about landscape change, and notes the different values placed on the landscape by different groups in our society, concluding with the case for the use of practical demonstrations as a useful method of landscape conservation.

TL;DR: Myklestad and Wagar as mentioned in this paper developed a program called PREVIEW that facilitates visual management of forested landscapes by generating perspective drawings that show proposed timber harvesting and regrowth throughout a rotation.

TL;DR: McBride et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a check list of nineteen vegetation parameters as a basis for making a complete analysis of vegetation, grouped into five classes: amenity, human safety, ecological, economic, and scientific.

TL;DR: In this method the requirements of the users are systematically dovetailed into the opportunities presented by the environment, representing a great advance above the arbitrary methods still evident in current planning.

TL;DR: In this article, Rowe et al. developed a process for choosing alternative land uses for reclaimed strip mined areas in the Central Appalachian Region that is applicable to many strip mine areas of the world.

TL;DR: Amir et al. as mentioned in this paper proposed a general multiple use policy for maqui land in northern Israel as a means to increase economic return, sound management and use of the recreation potential of the region.

TL;DR: Hadac et al. as mentioned in this paper defined a system of geobiocenoses, techno-anthropo-enoses and inorganic objects such as glaciers, rivers or rocks for the study of landscape.

TL;DR: In the insular Pacific, European and United States interests from the late 18th century onwards brought new pressures, such as exploitation of natural resources, establishment of European-controlled commercial plantations, the progressive incorporation of island people into a monetary economy, and the deliberate and uncontrolled introduction to the islands of new plants and animals all helped to disturb the pre-existing equilibrium as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors define Eco-engineering as the art, science, and practice through which nature, landscape space, and natural resources are made more beneficial to man, and propose the concept of Eco-Engineering as a direct continuation of the existing science of land reclamation and improvement.

TL;DR: Fitzsimmons et al. as mentioned in this paper conducted a survey of senior Park Service decisionmakers involved with western national parks and revealed their awareness of the potential for park development to spoil the inherent scenic quality of park landscapes.

TL;DR: A case study of how one local authority, the Lindsey County Council in Great Britain, perceived the harm caused by uncontrolled development along 40 km of its coastline is presented in this paper, where the author traces the origins and promotion of the Act of Parliament and analyses the extent to which the Council found it possible to implement this early and farsighted measure.

TL;DR: In this paper, a rural settlement pattern was planned for the cereal growing and sheep raising area of the Murray Mallee in South Australia, which ensured that every farmer was within about 16 km of a railway and a small trade centre.

TL;DR: In this article, a case of poor development of vegetation on roadcuts along a motorway is presented, with a decrease in the aesthetic quality of the roadside and an increase in road maintenance costs.
