“…Given the experience of the team on the topic (e.g. Vaz et al, 2019Vaz et al, , 2020Ros-Candeira et al, 2020;Moreno-Llorca et al, 2020), and to minimise classification biases, the manual classification of the photographs was done by one author (ASV), being then independently verified by other two authors (RML and ASC). We excluded photographs with irrelevant subjects (e.g., advertisements, pamphlets, or drawings).…”

Significance StatementReconciling nature conservation and cultural ecosystem services (CES) has become fundamental to manage mountain protected areas. The timely monitoring of CES opportunities at large scales is therefore a pressing need. We combined social media data and Earth observations (EO) into a multi model inference framework to assess CES opportunities in two contrasting mountain Biosphere Reserves in Southern Europe: Peneda-Gerês (Portugal) and Sierra Nevada (Spain). EO indicators expressing people’s accessibility to leisure elements and landscape visual-sensory characteristics appear to be effective candidates for the monitoring of attributes underlying CES. Our findings recognise EO as complementary tools to socio-cultural approaches for the evaluation of CES, aiding stakeholders in their management decisions focused on the resilience and sustainability of mountain protected areas.

“…Landscape studies also used other visual imaging techniques such as photomontage, simulation (Mahdjoubi and Wiltshire 2001 ), graphically enhanced images (Lee et al 2019 ; Liu et al 2018 ; Lothian 2017 , 2012 ) and videos to present animated landscape scenes such as water motion and public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS) (Brown and Weber 2011 ). Today, photographs uploaded in the social domains have been widely considered as suitable substitutes for measuring public interest and preference in landscape studies (Bubalo et al 2019 ; Callau et al 2019 ; Hansen 2016 ; Richards and Tunçer 2018 ; Ros-Candeira et al 2020 ; Stepchenkova and Zhan 2013 ; Tenerelli et al 2016 ; van Zanten et al 2016 ; Wood et al 2013 ). These techniques may all be used to study and manage lands.…”

Assessing Public Preferences of Landscape and Landscape Attributes: a Case Study of the Proposed Appalachian Geopark Project in West Virginia, USA

et al. 2023

Photographs have been utilized as substitutes for on-site scenes in the assessment and evaluation of landscape’s visual quality, perspective, and preference. Visual quality, perception, and preference are assessed through human eyes and their judgment. However, the human judgement is often generally categorized as expert vs. citizen. Literature searches show that the expert-based assessment dominates over the citizen level judgement. There is a lack of information on methodologies to assess public preference of landscape and landscape attributes. This paper discussed two different approaches of assessing landscape preferences of the public (local and visitors) in the proposed Appalachian Geopark Project (hereafter referred as pAGP) covering Fayette, Greenbrier, and Raleigh Counties in West Virginia (WV). A set of two questionnaire surveys were administered. There were questions for answering as a cognitive preference exercise and a set of photographs for rating as a visual stimulation exercise. Both instruments were delivered to respondents as anonymous links using Survey123 and Qualtrics software respectively. The results from both surveys revealed the highest preference was found for forested landscapes followed by water features and the associated landscapes. This study’s findings revealed how multiple methods of assessing public preferences can strengthen and justify the results from different methods. Surveys were completed by 47 respondents.
