“…A general concern is that the saliency and contextual validity being enhanced on-site cannot be evoked by a photograph (e.g. Bernaldez et al, 1988;Hodgson & Thayer, 1980;Kroh & Gimblett, 1992;Scott & Canter, 1997;Stewart & Hull, 1996). Huang (2009) concludes that, for example, motion in waterscapes is not validly represented through videos and slides compared to on-site observations.…”

Landscape Representation Validity: A Comparison between On-site Observations and Photographs with Different Angles of View

Some concern about the representation validity of photographs in visual landscape assessments has been expressed in literature. Mostly, studies consider one type of representation, using the mean ratings for only one preference variable, often scenic quality. Here, validity coefficients are calculated using several landscape preference variables. Three types of stimuli are compared: the in situ landscape, panoramic and standard normal photographs. Landscape vistas were evaluated on site during field excursions. The same scenes were represented as wide angle photographs and standard normal photographs in two other questionnaires. For half of the variables measured no difference in validity could be established between the stimulus types. Standard normal photographs appeared to be more suitable for measuring certain variables. The results demonstrated that both the preference variable being measured and the landscape being evaluated can determine the type of stimulus that is most appropriate to use in questionnaires on landscape assessment.

“…Screening around this threshold (50%) clearly increases the likelihood of finding ratings of at least "Acceptable" in the case of trees (Figure 9), although for climbers, plant coverage should once again be increased to 70-80% for good probabilities of acceptance ( Figure 9). Although some authors question the validity of the photographic method and express doubts about whether a photo can represent a complex scene and if it is possible to evaluate in the office attributes that are not perceptible via photos, such as sounds, smells and shades of color [53,54], most studies vouch for the usefulness of this technique in landscape assessment [55][56][57][58][59][60][61]. Moreover, infographic simulation from a photographed scene allows viewers to compare and evaluate a range of possible scenes [62][63][64][65][66].…”

Using Native Vegetation Screens to Lessen the Visual Impact of Rural Buildings in the Sierras de Béjar and Francia Biosphere Reserve: Case Studies and Public Survey

et al. 2019

Tree screens have a demonstrated role in lessening the visual impact of buildings nonintegrated aesthetically by means of filtering façades. This is particularly useful on village fringes and in areas bordering urban green spaces. However, the role of other vegetal structure such as climber species, and their optimal percentage for façade filtering, have not been measured yet. The main objectives of present study were: (1) To guess if climber species have a similar positive role to lessen the visual impact of a façade than tree species, and (2) to compare optimal percentage of coverage for both vegetal structures. To explore them, we designed three percentages of partial-concealment vegetation screens (0% none, 40–50% medium, 70–80% high), comprising tree or climber native species from a study area, in eight buildings from the same region. As a result, 24 final infographics were evaluated by two groups of interviewees: 27 local people and 39 non-local university students. Respondents had to assess the integration of the building in terms of visual preference using an ascending scale with 5 options from “Very poor” = 1 to “Very good” = 5. The results show a clear linear positive response of participants when increasing the percentage of coverage by both types of vegetal screens. However, positive significant valuation over 3 points on average was reached before in tree species screens (3.06, in 40–50% of façade coverage) than in climbing species screens (3.02 in 70–80% of façade coverage). Finally, there was a high consensus in responses when both groups polled were compared.

“…The use of images as surrogates for natural landscapes (described by Jacobsen (2007) as ''representational validity'') in perception surveys has been extensively debated in the literature. Questions have been raised regarding such use (Hull and Stewart, 1992;Kroh and Gimblett, 1992;Palmer and Hoffman, 2001). Photo-based simulations may be subject to other influences that can potentially confound interpretation.…”

“I know it when I see it”: Identifying ocean wilderness using a photo-based survey approach

a b s t r a c t ''Wilderness'' is identified and defined, in large part, as places perceived by people as possessing characteristic qualities and attributes such as remoteness, providing opportunities for solitude, and where the influence of man is not readily apparent. It has been suggested that ''wilderness is what people think it is.'' To better understand how this idea of wilderness can be most appropriately applied to ocean and coastal waters, a photo-based online survey was conducted, targeting a sample of protected area resource managers and scientists. The survey results suggested that the respondents overwhelmingly and strongly perceived coastal waters, and particularly waters adjacent to designated coastal wilderness areas, as ''wilderness.'' Offshore areas were also perceived as possessing value as potential wilderness, but somewhat less often than places located near the coast.
