“…Similar results are also obtained in recorded data of eye tracking, including the number of fixations, the fixation duration, the number of gaze points, the StrictAverage X-coordinate of gaze points, and the StrictAverage Y-coordinate of gaze points. 13 More specifically, Table 1 shows the results of post-hoc analysis. From the difference in landscape elements it can be seen that the attention area occupied by vehicle/people is significantly larger in (b) than that in (a).…”

Visual attention in tranquility evaluations has been examined by eye tracking experiments using audiovisual materials collected in traditional villages of China. The results show that without sound stimuli, the attention areas in tranquility evaluations are more concentrated, compared with those in visual aesthetic quality evaluations. With sound stimuli, the attention areas of tranquility evaluations disperse significantly from those without sound stimuli, where artificial sounds tend to expand the visual attention area on corresponding artificial landscape elements, whereas natural sounds promote larger attention areas on natural landscape elements. During information extraction for tranquility evaluations, both with and without sound stimuli, buildings and facilities, the sky, and vegetation are attractive landscape elements.

“…From these basic screen coordinate measurements, various gaze metrics are derived in relation to the stimuli (screen display), such as the fixation duration or dwell time (i.e., how long a gaze is fixed on a certain AOI), fixation count (i.e., how often the gaze revisits an AOI), number of revisits of the AOIs and scan-path characteristics (e.g., length and speed of eye movements; Ooms et al, 2014). Although a new technique, ET has already been applied in many research fields, such as software engineering (e.g., usability tests; e.g., Jacob and Karn, 2003;Nivala et al, 2001), marketing (e.g., advertising placement, webpages, product label design; e.g., Goldberg et al, 2002;Pieters, 2008;Pieters and Wedel, 2004;Poole and Ball, 2006), psychology (e.g., reading, scene perception, visual search; e.g., Rayner, 1998Rayner, , 2009Recarte and Nunes, 2000) and landscape perception and design (Dupont et al, 2013;Duchowski, 2007). However, gaze behavior does not provide feedback about why DSS users focus on specific information.…”

Shedding light on the usability of ecosystem services–based decision support systems: An eye-tracking study linked to the cognitive probing approach

a b s t r a c tThe requirements for communicating ecosystem services (ES) information often are not considered in operationalizing ES concepts. In particular, the heterogeneous uses of ES require different functionalities and qualities for the information provided, which must be considered when processing ES data into different types of information. The relevant factors that influence the usability of ES information include the users' knowledge and cognitive ability as well as case study-specific factors. This missing knowledge can affect the transformation of the ES concept into practice, thus preventing the use of ES for further development or for transformation to sustainable management. Providing information that is relevant and useful for decision-making thus depends on understanding potential users' demands and their cognitive processes involving the information in making decisions.In this contribution, we present the evaluation of specific design features of a prototype ES decision support system assessed in an eye-tracking experiment. The study was conducted with more than 100 participants who were split into two groups. The participants in both groups had a background in spatial planning but differed in their connection to the case study region. The tool presented various GIS-based modeled land-use scenarios driven by a new spatial planning policy recently adopted in Switzerland that lead to various impacts on ES in the region. The ES information was shown with additional land-use indicators as well as information about the landscape aesthetic in landscape visualizations. The results show that there were significant differences between the participants in the way they perceived, interpreted and used the information for ES-based decision-making tasks. We also identified critical key factors defining the types of representation of the information that influence perception and cognitive processes.In summary, the results of the study provide design recommendations for representing ES information based on the intended use and identify critical representation features that could potentially influence the perception of ES information.

“…Only a few studies have addressed landscape perception, and studies focused on specific urban planning issues such as flooding maps [50]. One example is the study of Dupont et al [51], who analyzed the observation patterns of 23 participants viewing different types of photographs of the landscape in Flanders (Belgium). The authors tested whether the degree of openness and heterogeneity of a landscape affects the observation pattern.…”

This paper describes a study of the evaluation of cartographic quality of urban plans in the Czech Republic using eye-tracking. Although map visualization is a crucial part of the urban planning process, only a few studies have focused on the evaluation of these maps. The plans of four Czech cities with different styles of visualization and legends were used in this eye-tracking experiment. Respondents were required to solve spatial tasks consisting of finding and marking a certain symbol on a map. Statistical analyses of various eye-tracking metrics were used, and the differences between experts and students and between the map and legend sections of the stimuli were explored. The study results showed that the quality of map symbols and the map legend significantly influence the legibility and understandability of urban plans. For correct decision-making, it is essential to produce maps according to certain standards, to make them as clear as possible, and to perform usability testing on them.
