“…The woody boundaries themselves are elements with high visual preferences, which enhance the aesthetic quality of rural landscapes, mainly by increasing their degree of ''naturalness'' and the percentage of plant cover, and by providing colour contrast (Angileri and Toccolini, 1993;Arriaza et al, 2004). An overview of the arguments for and against protecting hedges is presented by McCollin (2000).…”

“…Coeterier, 1996;Kaplan and Kaplan, 1982;Ode et al, 2009;Retchman, 2013). It has been found that the perception of these landscapes is strongly influenced by such elements as vegetation (Angileri and Toccolini, 1993;Swanwick, 2009), water elements (Bulut and Yilmaz, 2009;Dramstad et al, 2006;Hammitt et al, 1994) or meadows (Clay and Daniel, 2000), and also by the overall characteristics of the landscape. Clay and Smidt (2004) note that vividness, variety and unity are generally considered to be the most influential characteristics in this respect, while other authors have also emphasised openness (Rogge et al, 2007;Strumse, 1994), colour contrast (Arriaza et al, 2004), naturalness (Ode et al, 2009;Palmer, 2004;Van den Berg and Koole, 2006), typicality (Fyhri et al, 2009;Stamps and Nasar, 1997), or the age of structures (Tilt et al, 2007).…”

“…Angileri and Toccolini, 1993;Bulut and Yilmaz, 2009;Clay and Smidt, 2004). Since any practical application of the results of landscape preference studies implies that there should be agreement among individuals (Hägerhall, 2001), consensus in judgments of landscape visual qualities is highly important.…”

Landscape planning and design occupies a major role in forest policy in the UK. Since the 1980s, UK forests have been managed increasingly for multi-purpose objectives, a policy which has been underpinned by international agreements on sustainable forestry. Within this context, there is a need to understand public preferences for forest landscapes in designing policies that meet the needs of multi-purpose forestry. This paper is based on a study to investigate public willingness to pay (WTP) for regular visual and recreational access to a wide variety of generic forest landscapes. A total of 33 forest landscapes were investigated, each of which was defined as a combination of the configuration of the planting and the landscape factors. Computer-generated images of each of these landscapes were used to underpin a series of choice experiments conducted as part of a questionnaire survey of over 400 households across Great Britain. The results confirm the importance of landscape in contributing to the social and environmental benefits provided by forests and suggests that current policies of woodland expansion may generate additional benefits especially if more woodland is located close to urban populations. The paper concludes by discussing the implications of these results for forest policy across the UK.
