“…Previous studies have demonstrated that the use of static images to convey the context of landscapes in terms of buildings and layout is valid (recent examples including Ellis et al, 2006;Ryan, 2006) and that the use of computer models to 'contain' physical attributes related to landscapes is possible and valid (for example, Appleton et al, 2002).…”

This is an author produced version of a paper published in Urban greenspace has consistently been argued to be of great importance to the wellbeing, health, and daily lives of residents and users. This paper reports results from a study which combined the visualisation of public greenspace with environmental economics, and which aimed to develop a method by which realistic computer models of sites could be used within preference studies. As part of a methodology which employed contingent rating to establish the values placed on specific greenspace sites, three-dimensional computer models were used to produce visualisations of particular environmental conditions. Of particular importance to the study was the influence of variables including lighting, season, time of day and weather on the perception of respondents. This study followed previous work that established a suitable approach to the modelling and testing of entirely moveable physical variables within the built environment. As such, the study has firmly established that computer-generated visualisations are appropriate for use within environmental economic surveys, and that there is potential for a holistic range of attributes to be included in such studies.

“…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•]. These immersive virtual environments also enable identifying specific features associated with the respondents' values, either by recording user-provided coordinates or by tracking the users' movements [51].…”

“…These immersive virtual environments also enable identifying specific features associated with the respondents' values, either by recording user-provided coordinates or by tracking the users' movements [51]. Visualizations can also be made spatially explicit by coupling various types of virtual imaging techniques (e.g., photorealistic rendering, image draping, virtual worlds, and augmented realities) with features from GIS data [49].…”

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.

“…Visually mapping and displaying information and encouraging more effective interaction in a common environment can enhance development than would otherwise be possible using traditional consultation and communication methods (Appleton et al, 2002;Appleton & Lovett, 2003;Appleton & Lovett, 2005).…”

ABSTRACT:There is an inherent advantage of geographic information Systems (GIS) and mapping in facilitating dialogue between experts and non-experts during land use plan development. Combining visual mapping information and effective user interaction can result in considerable benefits for developing countries like Botswana. Although the adoption of information and communication technologies has lagged behind that for developed countries, initiatives by the Botswana government in providing suitable information infrastructures, including internet and web based communications, are enabling multiple users to interact and collaborate in community land planning. A web mapping application was developed for the Maun Development Plan (MDP) in the Okavango Delta region in Botswana. It was designed according to requirements of land planners and managers and implemented using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. Land planners and managers from two organisations in Maun involved in the development of the MDP were asked to evaluate the web mapping tools. This paper describes the results of implementation and some preliminary results of the web mapping evaluation.
