“…The result of the evaluation depends not only on the characteristics of the local terrain, but also on the evaluator-his sensitivity, culture, education and attitude towards the evaluated terrain (Lothian 1999). The application of this approach is the basis of research on scenic landscape assessment, where photographs are frequently used, serving as a substitute for the evaluated landscape (Zube et al 1982;Hull and Buyhoff 1984;Clay and Daniel 2000). This method can also be used to assess the geomorphological landscape because relief of the land is the most important landscape component in upland areas.…”

Within Lubelskie province (SE Poland) are several regions notable for groups of landforms unique in Poland. In this paper, tourists' assessments of the geomorphological heritage of the region have been analysed. The most interesting sites, from both the scientific and touristic points of view and also proposed for the national list of geomorphosites, were chosen for the study. The evaluation by tourists was carried out by means of an Internet survey with 693 answers collected over 6 weeks. The sites visited most frequently by the respondents are loess gullies and river valleys with small waterfalls. The sites were mostly visited during car trips and as part of walking excursions during a long-term stay. The main motivation for visiting the surveyed sites was the aesthetic value of the landscape. The respondents sought information, mainly on the Web, about nature, culture and tourist attractions. The results of the survey indicate a need for further promotion of the geotouristic values of lesser-known sites in Lubelskie province and this will also enable tourism to be better managed.

“…There is a long tradition of using photographs to investigate environmental perceptions, particularly landscape assessment (e.g. Kaplan et al, 1972;Zube et al, 1982;Brown and Daniel, 1986). The validity of using photographs as surrogates for the real environment has been demonstrated by several authors (e.g.…”

This is an author produced version of a paper published in Urban greenspace has consistently been argued to be of great importance to the wellbeing, health, and daily lives of residents and users. This paper reports results from a study which combined the visualisation of public greenspace with environmental economics, and which aimed to develop a method by which realistic computer models of sites could be used within preference studies. As part of a methodology which employed contingent rating to establish the values placed on specific greenspace sites, three-dimensional computer models were used to produce visualisations of particular environmental conditions. Of particular importance to the study was the influence of variables including lighting, season, time of day and weather on the perception of respondents. This study followed previous work that established a suitable approach to the modelling and testing of entirely moveable physical variables within the built environment. As such, the study has firmly established that computer-generated visualisations are appropriate for use within environmental economic surveys, and that there is potential for a holistic range of attributes to be included in such studies.

“…Em relação aos componentes paisagísticos, a paisagem 9 tem a segunda menor porcentagem de componentes naturais (64%), perdendo apenas para a paisagem 1 (31%), a qual recebeu menor valoração. A paisagem 9 recebeu alta valoração embora estudos apontem que a presença de recursos naturais na paisagem seja mais preferida pelas pessoas do que a presença de interferência humana (ZUBE e PITT, 1981;ZUBE et al, 1982). Isto pode ser um indício de que a paisagem 9 possui componentes antrópicos em harmonia com a paisagem natural, não gerando impactos visuais negativos.…”

ResumoDiante da crise ambiental, o turismo deve ser planejado para dirimir impactos nas paisagens, conservando seus aspectos estéticos, geográfico-ecológicos e culturais. Neste sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi aplicar o "Método Q" para valorar e analisar as paisagens turísticas do município de Morretes para servir de subsídios às diretrizes de planejamento e gestão da paisagem para o turismo. Para isso, foram selecionadas e analisadas 9 paisagens representativas de Morretes, que foram colocadas em ordem de preferência, através do Método Q, por 207 respondentes (residentes, turistas e profissionais). Os resultados demonstraram que o Método Q foi eficiente e que as paisagens com maior percentagem de componentes naturais foram preferidas, embora estes componentes isolados não tenham sido suficientes para uma alta valoração. Isto indicou que o fator diversidade é determinante. O estudo também demonstrou que residentes, turistas e profissionais possuem preferências diferentes em relação à paisagem, demonstrando a importância do processo participativo de planejamento e gestão.Palavras-chave: preferência da paisagem; componentes da paisagem; diversidade da paisagem; Floresta Atlântica, Método Q. AbstractDue to the environmental crisis, tourism should be planned to decrease impacts on landscapes, conserving their aesthetic, ecological, geographical and cultural aspects. In this sense, the goal of the research was to apply the " Q Method" to assess and analyze the
