Environmental heterogeneity as a bridge between ecosystem service and visual quality objectives in management, planning and design
TL;DR: Different dimensions of environmental heterogeneity are reviewed to explore their potential for bridging visual quality with provision of other ecosystem services and resilience in landscape design, management and planning and identify the key strategies and research needs.

Can computer game landscapes target new audiences for landscape quality assessment
Ruth D. Swetnam,Jan Korenko +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the use of digital game landscapes as tools for visual quality assessment of the rural landscapes of Wales and found that >70% of respondents were highly satisfied with the quality of the landscape visualisations.

Geospatial analysis of lake scenery as an indicator for the environment: The City of Van (Turkey) and its surroundings
Hakan Alphan,Feran Aşur +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed lake scenery using user surveys and a visibility map as a quantified variable, which was produced using cumulative viewshed analyses that combine results of a binary (visible/non-visible) function applied to observation and target locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
GIS method and its application for harmonious evaluation of urban construction land and geological environment
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors used geographic information technology (GIS) to reveal the coupling and coordination relationship between urban construction land and geological environment; and reasonable urban land use planning proposals are put forward.

Sensation and Perception
TL;DR: Goldstein's SENSATION AND PERCEPTION as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive examination of sensation and perception, with a balanced coverage of all senses, which offers an integrated examination of how the senses work together, and shows how seemingly simple experiences are actually extremely complex mechanisms and examines both psychophysical and physiological underpinnings of perception.

TL;DR: Object recognition techniques based on invariant local features to select matching images, and a probabilistic model for verification are used, which is insensitive to the ordering, orientation, scale and illumination of the images.

Function-analysis and valuation as a tool to assess land use conflicts in planning for sustainable, multi-functional landscapes
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive framework for integrated assessment of ecological services and socioeconomic benefits of natural and semi-natural ecosystems and landscapes is presented, which can be applied at different scale levels to different ecosystems or landscape units and basically consists of three steps: (1) Function-analysis: translates ecological complexity into a limited number of ecosystem functions, which, in turn, provide a range of goods and services; (2) Function valuation: includes ecological, socio-cultural and economic valuation methods; and (3) Conflict analysis: to facilitate the application of function-analysis and valuation

Assessing the visual quality of rural landscapes
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodology for assessing the visual quality of agricultural landscapes through direct and indirect techniques of landscape valuation, which enables them to rank agricultural landscapes on the basis of a survey of public preferences.
