“…If this were indeed the case, it would be consistent with the findings of other studies that show preference heterogeneity for environmental goods or for landscape, some of which demonstrate that public preferences may be linked to geographic location (e.g. Purcell et al, 1994;Hunziker, 1995;Dramstad et al, 2006;Brouwer et al, 2010;Lokocz et al, 2011) or to personal characteristics (e.g. Kearney et al, 2008;Park et al, 2008;Hanley et al, 2009).…”

Since 2005, Environmental Stewardship (ES) has been the principal agri-environment scheme for England and is the key instrument for the delivery of increased environmental benefits from agricultural landscapes. The main objective of this study is to investigate whether or not individuals' preferences for the environmental benefits associated with ES vary depending on types of landscapes within which these benefits are delivered. A latent class model is applied to data obtained from a choice experiment survey of over 1,000 respondents sampled across England. The results suggest that individuals have heterogenous preferences for the benefits of ES, though different segments of the population with more homogenous preferences can be identified. In particular, higher levels of benefit are often associated with the operation of ES in landscapes close to where respondents live. This leads to the suggestion that, in order to maximise the benefits of ES, its implementation could take this result into account by encouraging greater uptake from farmers whose land is closer to large populations.

“…These studies have revealed potential differences in the ratings of landscape preferences between Western Australian and American students (Kaplan and Herbert, 1987), between Italian and Australian university students (Purcell et al, 1994), and between Yugoslavians, West Indians and Americans (Zube and Pitt, 1981). The results of these studies support the notion that public perception of scenic beauty may be partially the product of a socio-cultural construction and therefore may differ depending on an individual's knowledge, experience or cultural background.…”

“…While biological and physical influences certainly are present in one's cognition of, and preferences for, urban green spaces, personal, social, cultural and geographical differences are also influential (Bourassa, 1990;Herzog, 1992;Home et al, 2010;Purcell et al, 1994;van den Berg and van Winsum-Westra, 2010;van den Berg et al, 1998). Individual as well as general public preferences for recreational experiences are therefore likely to differ across personal, social, cultural and national boundaries.…”

The provision of recreational opportunities forms an important and long-standing urban planning and management objective. However, considering a range of experiences encountered when in such spaces currently does not form part of existing open space assessment tools in the UK. In this paper, 'rec-mapping', an innovative method of analysing and mapping positive recreational experiences in urban green spaces, is explored and piloted within the UK planning context. Originating in the Nordic countries, this on-site method can provide urban planners and designers with data about the extent to which specific green spaces provide and support a range of recreational experiences. The exploration reported here is based on a short review of the method's background and an application in two test sites in Sheffield, south Yorkshire, in early summer 2010. This paper critically appraises the application of rec-mapping at smaller spatial scales and recommends further explorations within the UK planning context, as the method adds to existing open space assessment by providing a unique layer of information to analyse more fully the recreational qualities of urban green spaces.
