“…Empirical models (33,35,37) are supported by perceptual surveys that use computer visualizations of changes in landscape features predicted by biologically based models to assess the perceived aesthetic consequences of those changes (33,34,38,39). Both types of models have supported monetary evaluations (40,41), including demonstrations of increased values for private properties with views of aesthetically desirable landscapes (42).…”

Cultural ecosystem services (ES) are consistently recognized but not yet adequately defined or integrated within the ES framework. A substantial body of models, methods, and data relevant to cultural services has been developed within the social and behavioral sciences before and outside of the ES approach. A selective review of work in landscape aesthetics, cultural heritage, outdoor recreation, and spiritual significance demonstrates opportunities for operationally defining cultural services in terms of socioecological models, consistent with the larger set of ES. Such models explicitly link ecological structures and functions with cultural values and benefits, facilitating communication between scientists and stakeholders and enabling economic, multicriterion, deliberative evaluation and other methods that can clarify tradeoffs and synergies involving cultural ES. Based on this approach, a common representation is offered that frames cultural services, along with all ES, by the relative contribution of relevant ecological structures and functions and by applicable social evaluation approaches. This perspective provides a foundation for merging ecological and social science epistemologies to define and integrate cultural services better within the broader ES framework.natural capital | scenic beauty | cultural landscapes | tourism | spiritual value

“…However, changes in agricultural practices and policies, and low farm income have resulted in the abandonment of traditionally managed mountain meadows globally and across the Alps Hersperger & Bürgi 2010;Arnberger & Eder 2011;Rom et al 2013). The question arises of whether mountain meadows can provide health benefits to humans, and whether there are differences in restorative effects between managed or unmanaged meadows.…”

“…Rural buildings [44], particularly farm buildings [45,46] and cultural buildings [47,48], are positively related to landscape evaluations, especially when these buildings are old [41], traditional [16,37,49] or well preserved [42]. Moreover, respondents approve of the presence of visual dividers, i.e., buffer zones that contain grassy or tree-covered areas, hedgerows or terraces [15,45,50,51], and the presence of grazing animals [37,46,49].…”

Better recognition of public perceptions is called for in developing policies that affect landscape qualities, such as agri-environmental policies. The present study focused on the evaluation of typical agricultural landscapes in Finland. We utilized and operationalized the visual landscape quality scales introduced by Tveit et al. (2006) and further explored how these scales can be applied in citizen evaluation of agricultural landscapes. From landscape data collected via an Internet survey, we analysed whether and how the attributes of agricultural landscapes were linked to their evaluation. The results demonstrated that visual concepts such as openness, naturalness, species richness and the impression of being taken care of were significantly associated with six landscape attributes, i.e., grain, cattle, bales, farmhouses, buses and disturbances. A relationship between key landscape concepts and normative evaluation was found. The normative pleasantness of the landscape also significantly associated with individual landscape attributes and the socio-demographic characteristics of the perceivers.
