“…In this case, a common layout plan may have limitations in recording the site information, failing to unveil the determinants of affordance actualisation. In this regard, this study adopts the 'layer-cake' method in landscape analysis to develop a multi-layer layout plan for behaviour mapping and analysis (Qi et al, 2022). We used UAV aerial survey to generate the orthoimages of the selected rest areas.…”

Context: Scenic roads are world-widely implemented as policies that turn automobility into landscape capital. As an essential component of scenic road systems, rest areas provide spaces for people to interact with roadside landscapes, enhancing the quality of experiences of recreational motorists. However, the understanding of scenic road rest area usage still lacks empirical evidence. Objectives: Through the lens of the affordance theory, this study developed an empirical approach to explore the affordance actualisation mechanism focused on the context of motorists-rest area interaction. Methods: Our team has conducted site observation and behaviour mapping on seven rest areas along the Nujiang Beautiful Road in northwest Yunnan, China. By conceptualising Surface Materials and Distance References as landscapes’ physical determinants, and Fixed Functional Meanings and Perceived Use Patterns as individuals’ perceptual determinants, this research investigates how these determinants quantitatively affect affordance actualisation. Results: The results outlined a behavioural profile about the usage of rest areas on scenic roads and further revealed that: (1) inspired affordances and anticipated affordances respectively acted on people’s experiences and satisfaction; (2) perceptual determinants are more proactive on actualising affordances compared with physical determinants; (3) traffic conflicts, landscape availability and distance to parking contributed to affordance actualisation vacancy. Conclusion: The findings may reveal some theoretical insights about the affordance actualisation mechanism via an empirical approach and can be used to assist evidence-based planning and design of scenic road rest areas.

“…Similar studies have widely reported the vital influence of vegetation on aesthetics [46,47]. However, our study found that participants' aesthetic perception of national cultural parks is mainly reflected in three landscape elements: decorative archways, landscape sketches, and leisure plazas.…”

National cultural parks are a new form of tourism in China. These parks focus on cultural heritage. Many studies have examined the cultural ecosystem services (CESs) that parks provide from visitors’ perspectives. However, there needs to be more research on the perceived heterogeneity of CESs among different social groups, especially residents, and the relationship between the supply and demand of CESs. This study uses visitor-employed photographs to reveal the landscape features offered by national cultural parks. This study also analyses the relationship between landscape elements in national cultural parks and CESs, as well as the heterogeneity of users’ perceptions of CESs. The results show that the resident group and visitor group agree on the importance of a sense of place in national cultural parks. However, there are differences between the two groups regarding their perceptions of inspiration, recreation, cultural heritage, and social relations in the parks. Residents are most concerned with the parks’ sense of place and social relations. In contrast, visitors are more interested in inspiration, recreation, heritage, and a sense of place. This study highlights the different needs of residents and visitors from the CESs provided by national cultural parks. It also provides insights for the landscape planning and ecotourism management of cultural heritage-type parks.

Urban Open Spaces (UOS) are green infrastructures that provide social and ecosystem services. Green public areas contribute to mitigation and adaptation strategies for addressing climate changes, but their maintenance has a significant cost. Frequent grass cutting operations must be carried out during growing periods to ensure the safe livability of UOS to citizens. In the present paper, a geo database was developed to map green public areas of the city of Latina (Lazio Region, Central Italy) by using a multisource dataset according to the European INSPIRE Directive. The GreenCAL Tool was implemented. Two algorithms to determine UOS extension and the necessary budget for grass cutting operations are used, considering the contribution of different mowing (i.e., mulcher, lawnmower, or brush cutter) and UOS extension itself (~160 ha). The implemented processing chain allowed us to simulate forestation of abandoned areas and potential CO2 sequestration values. Two different scenarios of maintenance programs were also implemented to reduce more than 60% of operational cost according to: (1) different use of UOS; (2) their position within the urban area; (3) guidelines of Italian working group on public green management; and (4) management of vegetal residues. The management of the latter, derived by mowing, contribute to more than 23% of the budget allocated to maintain UOS. Besides the long-term environmental and health perspective, the short-term impact of the present applied research is relevant for a geomatic approach, green public procurements, as well as land use and climate interactions. The alternative management of UOS discussed in the present paper can also reduce organic waste production if the mowing within the UOS is managed as a resource for agriculture rather than urban waste.
