“…Les questionnaires reposent souvent sur des photographies en couleur, la couleur restituant mieux les différentes facettes perçues par l'oeil humain (Shuttleworth, 1980). Différentes études comparant les réactions de groupes de personnes sur place ou à partir de photographies ont montré que les perceptions du paysage n'étaient statistiquement pas différentes (Shuttleworth, 1980;Zube et al, 1987;Vining et Orland, 1989).…”

Pour intégrer le paysage dans la gestion globale des cours d'eau, nous proposons une méthode permettant d'établir un diagnostic paysager, basée sur une analyse qualitative et quantitative de la structure éco-géographique du paysage et une analyse de sa perception par les différents acteurs. Ces analyses complémentaires, réalisées à des fins de gestion, permettent au gestionnaire de connaître les différentes facettes micro paysagères de son cours d'eau, d'évaluer leur agencement longitudinal, leur diversité et la perception qu'en ont les usagers. Dans cet article, nous montrerons comment, dans la première analyse, des photographies des berges, prises au sol, constituent une source d'informations permettant de déterminer l'identité paysagère des cours d'eau de taille moyenne (largeur < 50 m). Nous analysons statistiquement les taches, au sens où l'entend l'écologie du paysage, composant le paysage et présentes sur les photographies pour déterminer des types de paysages. Une première étude, basée sur 116 photographies de berge de quatre cours d'eau du sud-est de la France, a permis d'identifier 11 types de micro paysages rivulaires représentatifs, déterminés par des caractéristiques d'ouverture de vue, de végétation et d'anthropisation. Une seconde étude visant à évaluer l'intégration paysagère de berges de cours d'eau français et suisses restaurées par des techniques de génie végétal, basée sur 54 photographies, met en évidence des différences paysagères entre les paysages naturels et les paysages aménagés.Landscape is increasingly taken into account now in French management projects. With the water law of the third January 1992, managers are developing new options such as integrated basin management and consequently are studying river landscapes. As they would like to base their actions on improved and replicated methods, more research is needed. The present paper aims to identify fluvial landscapes from ground photographs taken from the banks. The landscape patches are statistically analysed in order to distinguish fluvial landscape types. Two studies have been successively completed. The first one was based on four rivers located in south-eastern France. A typology of fluvial landscapes was built using one hundred sixteen photographs, allowing to group rivers and river reaches according to their structural landscape types. Eleven types were determined by opening, vegetal or human characteristics. The aim of the second study was to assess the scenic integration of banks which were protected by bioengineering technics. The photographs are taken on ten French and Swiss water courses. The analysis of fifty four photographs shows slight differences between reference landscape and protected landscape

“…The use of photographs as environmental surrogates is widely practised in landscape scenic assessment [15], with many studies suggesting that judgments based on photographs are highly correlated with on site judgements of the same area using rating scales [16][17][18][19] or other response formats [20,21].…”

“…This high central tendency coupled with a constrained range (Figure 2) deviates from a normal distribution (Kolmogorov-Smirnov test Z=2, p =0.001). A number of studies illustrate correlation between natural landscapes and higher aesthetic quality rating [4,18,27,28]. In the study the 'after' photograph was taken shortly following completion of the defences, with rock armouring at the base of the sea wall concealed by beach material, giving the defences a new and 'tidy' appearance ( Figure 1).…”

This study evaluated the visual impact of the new hard engineering coastal defences at Wiseman's Bridge, Pembrokeshire, Wales. This beach had existing hard coastal defences, road, car park and dwellings, which may have lead planners' to believe that the change would not impact upon beach users' enjoyment.However, a change in coastal scenery was expressed by 79% of those surveyed, using the perceptual approach, whilst the beach classification was unaffected using two checklist models. The beach is primarily utilised by families for children's play and to enjoy the surroundings. Nearly half of the beach users had concerns with regard to the new coastal defences and were willing to pay (£1.62 per visit) to fund alternative defence methods for the remaining shoreline. A fifth of respondents were willing to pay (£1.91 per visit) for the new defences to be removed and replaced with a more natural method of sea defence. The preferred payment mode in both cases was a car parking fee. Thus, this study has found that even apparently minor changes in scenery impact markedly upon the recreational enjoyment and valuation of the beach experience.

“…Zube and others [47] reviewed methods for simulating landscapes including new potential for immersive environments that included audio, visual, and dynamic stimuli. The field has made significant advancements in technology to capture the landscape experience including 3D environment technologies [48] that can be projected on large screens to simulate walking and experiencing an environment [49,50] or immerse individuals in the designed environment using 3D goggles [37•].…”

Purpose of Review Human perceptions of the landscape can influence land-use and land-management decisions. Recognizing the diversity of landscape perceptions across space and time is essential to understanding land change processes and emergent landscape patterns. We summarize the role of landscape perceptions in the land change process, demonstrate advances in quantifying and mapping landscape perceptions, and describe how these spatially explicit techniques have and may benefit land change research. Recent Findings Mapping landscape perceptions is becoming increasingly common, particularly in research focused on quantifying ecosystem services provision. Spatial representations of landscape perceptions, often measured in terms of landscape values and functions, provide an avenue for matching social and environmental data in land change studies. Integrating these data can provide new insights into land change processes, contribute to landscape planning strategies, and guide the design and implementation of land change models. Summary Challenges remain in creating spatial representations of human perceptions. Maps must be accompanied by descriptions of whose perceptions are being represented and the validity and uncertainty of those representations across space. With these considerations, rapid advancements in mapping landscape perceptions hold great promise for improving representation of human dimensions in landscape ecology and land change research.
