“…There can be other factors that affect people's VA preferences. For instance, visual scale was used in some previous studies (Tveit, 2009;Laroche et al, 2020). All factors that have possible impacts on VAL can be used in an estimation model and the success of the model can be tested with traditional methods.…”

There is an interactive relationship between humans and landscapes. Humans inherently assess landscapes by creating spontaneous preferences based on surrounding stimuli. Vision plays a key role in these preferences. Visual preferences are relevant for understanding visual aesthetic liking (VAL), which needs to be evaluated objectively. This study was carried out in Herakleia ad Latmos, comprising Lake Bafa Natural Park and the Latmos-Beşparmak Mountains. The aim of this paper is to predict people's VAL of historical sites (HS) by applying processing fluency theory to social media data. Among fluency theory metrics, four metrics -visual simplicity, visual symmetry, visual contrast, and visual self-similarity, were used to develop an ordinary least squares (OLS) regression model. Two primary questions are explored in this study: (1) How to quantify spontaneous visits of people near historical sites, and (2) how to estimate preferences of people based on distances to HS regardless of landscape types (either cultural or natural). Results show that people mostly visited three HS out of thirteen historical sites between 2004 and 2020: Kapıkırı Island (HS 1), and the ancient cities of Herakleia (HS 2) and Latmos (HS 3). According to the findings of the OLS regression model, year (t = 8.99, p <.0001), visual simplicity (t = -4.64, p ≤ 0.0001), and visual contrast (t = -2.01, p = 0.04) of the geotagged photos were all statistically significant predictors of VAL. HS 2 had the highest VAL value, followed by HS 1, and HS 3.

“…The reason for choosing this analysis approach is based on the data/sample features and the moderation and mediation analysis. Based on (8), SEM consists of inner and outer model analyses, which examine the relationships between independent and dependent variables and relationships between latent constructs and their observed pointers. PLS focuses on variance analysis, which could be done using Smart PLS.…”

“…Agroforestry systems are defined as landscape units comprising land uses that combine aspects of agriculture and forestry, including the agricultural use of trees (6). Agroforestry intercropping systems can provide multiple ecosystem services in regions where agricultural systems are becoming more intensive (7). These research objectives are to identify farmers perceptions about conservation farming and agroforestry also to analyze the effect of agroforestry techniques on farming sustainability in the upper Brantas Watershed.…”

The upper Brantas Watershed area must be conserved, especially for ecological function. On the other hand, the farmers need income to support their livelihoods. So that, the farmers prefer cultivating vegetables in highlands and on land with slopes more than 30 degrees. It will make the agricultural systems tend to be unsustainable in the long run so that it can affect the ecological function of the watershed. This research aimed to analyze the effect of agroforestry techniques on farming sustainability in the upper Brantas Watershed. The location was determined purposively in a farming system with and without an agroforestry system in Batu City. This study uses quantitative and qualitative approaches with survey techniques by field observation and interviews with the farmers and relevant stakeholders. The results showed that the application of conservation farming with the concept of agroforestry will support the farming system‘s sustainability, especially on the ecological aspect.

“…With the exception of the Prime-Vert program, agricultural policies have not encouraged the implementation of agroforestry systems on cultivated land. On one hand, the establishment of trees (and their maintenance) becomes a risky investment for farmers [63], given that agricultural policies (in this case, for Québec) only protect crops and livestock from climatic and economic hazards [64]. On the other hand, the economic role that agroforestry trees may play is neither recognized nor supported; felling agroforestry trees for their timber or biomass is prohibited, and planting more than 50% of a strip or hedge with species producing marketable fruit or nuts is not allowed [65].…”

Temperate Agroforestry Development: The Case of Québec and of France

This study sought to shed light on the political and organizational dynamics favoring the deployment of agroforestry in temperate environments. Development paths of agroforestry practices in Québec (Canada) and France were analyzed regarding five different issues: political status and recognition, regulation and financing, knowledge acquisition, knowledge transfer and training, development actors and implementation in the field. Scientific studies and results continue to accumulate concerning temperate agroforestry and its environmental benefits. Political recognition of the field appears to be stronger in France (and the EU), which makes state financial aid conditional upon the adoption of the practices. In Québec, only the Ministry of Agriculture provides limited support. It financially assists research at a moderate level, as well as the installation and maintenance of trees by participating farmers to perform specific functions, i.e., erosion control, water quality, and biodiversity. A large number of actors are active in France, where efforts are being made to improve consultation and to reduce redundancy. Stakeholders in Québec are linked to the broader agri-environment field and act partially through agroforestry, according to varying degrees of competency, creating a disparity between regions. Recognition at the highest level, i.e., training for councillors and advisors, greater flexibility in obtaining assistance, inclusion of a greater diversity of systems, and a structure that ensures promotion and consultation, would favour the further development of agroforestry in the industrialized nations of the temperate zone.
