“…7 One of the advantages of the design approach taken was that, once created, the VR environments could be readily exported to and run on conventional PC machines. This greatly enhances the potential for such applications to enhance the participatory decision-making process [1]. However, for experimental purposes allowing subjects freedom to determine their own investigation of each VR environment seemed likely to lead to individuals taking substantially different lengths of time to complete each choice task, potentially weakening the comparability of responses.…”

“…1 Standard economic explanations of gain/loss asymmetry focus upon income and substitution effects [22], although Sugden [50] argues that it would take ARTICLE IN PRESS 1 Pertinently, Horowitz and McConnell find that the less a good is like an ''ordinary market good'' then the higher is the degree of gain/loss asymmetry. Given that the present study examines an environmental non-market good we should not be surprised to find substantial asymmetry within our resultant valuation estimates.…”

ABSTRACT:There is an inherent advantage of geographic information Systems (GIS) and mapping in facilitating dialogue between experts and non-experts during land use plan development. Combining visual mapping information and effective user interaction can result in considerable benefits for developing countries like Botswana. Although the adoption of information and communication technologies has lagged behind that for developed countries, initiatives by the Botswana government in providing suitable information infrastructures, including internet and web based communications, are enabling multiple users to interact and collaborate in community land planning. A web mapping application was developed for the Maun Development Plan (MDP) in the Okavango Delta region in Botswana. It was designed according to requirements of land planners and managers and implemented using ArcGIS Viewer for Flex. Land planners and managers from two organisations in Maun involved in the development of the MDP were asked to evaluate the web mapping tools. This paper describes the results of implementation and some preliminary results of the web mapping evaluation.

“…During these processes visual representations are an important means of communicating analytic findings, abstract ideas, and design principles, and to inform and persuade participants (van den Brink & Bruns, 2012;Mertens, Robinson, & Kirkland, 2010). Representations range from free-hand sketches, photomontages and video to digital 2D and 3D perspective views (Appleton & Lovett, 2005;Barnaud, Le Page, Dumrongrojwatthana, & Trébuil, 2013;Paar, 2006). As catalysts for discussions (van den Brink, van Lammeren, van de Velde, & Däne, 2007) representations help to establish mutual understanding through knowledge construction.…”

The semiotics of landscape design communication: towards a critical visual research approach in landscape architecture

et al. 2016

In landscape architecture, visual representations are the primary means of communication between stakeholders in design processes. Despite the reliance on visual representations, little critical research has been undertaken by landscape architects on how visual communication forms work or their socio-political implications. In this theoretical paper, we argue that such research is of great importance. We explain how concepts of visual and critical social theory such as visual semiotics, simulacra and simulation, and power/knowledge can be used to critically reflect on landscape architectural representations. We further propose to study these representations at different stages of meaning-making by using visual methodologies such as visual discourse analysis, iconographical content analysis and social semiotic analysis. We conclude that these research approaches have the potential to explain issues such as dominant power structures, miscommunication between participants, and visual path-dependencies during landscape design processes.
