“…Cottrell et al (2005) showed how different configurations of green spaces were associated with different types of experiences. Shafer et al (2000) related greenways to different use patterns according to their location and design.…”

ABSTRACT. The ecosystem services approach has been proven successful to measure the contributions of nature and greenery to human well-being. Ecosystems have an effect on quality of life, but landscapes also, as a broader concept, may contribute to people's well-being. The concept of landscape services, compared to ecosystem services, involves the social dimension of landscape and the spatial pattern resulting from both natural and human processes in the provision of benefits for human-well being. Our aim is to develop a classification for landscape services. The proposed typology of services is built on the Common International Classification of Ecosystem Services (CICES) and on a critical review of existing literature on human well-being dimensions, existing ecosystem service classifications, and landscape perception. Three themes of landscape services are defined, each divided into several groups: provisioning, regulation and maintenance, cultural and social life fulfillment, with the latter focusing on health, enjoyment, and personal and social fulfillment. A special emphasis is made on cultural services, which are especially important when applied to landscape and which have received less attention.

“…The challenge was to make the recreation types match specific nature values. In 2003, we conducted research on the five modes in a nature area managed by this organisation as an exploration for policy making (Cottrell et al, 2005). At present, Staatsbosbeheer applies the model of modes of experience, in a simple and generalised form, as a main tool for visitor management and the creation of specific environments (Boeschoten, 2010;Goossen, 2008;Goossen, 2010).…”

“…Previous research (Elands and Lengkeek, 2000) with respect to nature recreation and nature tourism has indicated this. Taking all our studies into consideration (Cottrell et al, 2005;Elands and Lengkeek, 2000), the most important out-there-ness experiences are 'change' followed by 'rapture' and 'interest'. Both 'amusement' and 'dedication' are relevant to small groups of tourists.…”

“…As previously explained, this survey was a follow-up of our former modes of experience studies (Cottrell et al, 2005;Elands and Lengkeek, 2000). This study is a subsequent step in this process aiming to test the developed instrument.…”

“…Therefore, we chose a standardised research approach by means of a questionnaire. This resulted in seven quantitative empirical studies in different socio-spatial settings (day visitors of a Dutch forest preserve, day visitors of a Dutch National Park, day visitors of a Dutch National Landscape, holidaymakers within a Dutch National Landscape, holidaymakers within a tourist area cross-bordering the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, international tourists visiting a National Park in Costa Rica, and Dutch tourists travelling on a guided tour through South-East Asia), in which we tested, refined, and theoretically deepened Cohen's theory of tourist experiences (for more information see Cottrell et al, 2005;Elands and Lengkeek, 2000). We tested mode related statements by means of factor analysis and decided to keep the ones with a discriminating capacity and disposed of nondiscriminating items.…”
