The landscape visual aesthetic quality (LVAQ) of urban residential districts is an important index for measuring urban livability and is a tripartite concern among urban managers, real estate developers and residents. The LVAQ of residential districts is determined by their visual openness and the aesthetic degree of the surrounding landscape, a value combining subjective evaluation and objective analysis. Although existing studies have carried out empirical analyses on the LVAQ of residential districts and have summarized some influencing factors, they have largely overlooked the specific impact and interactions of various factors, failing to establish 3D city models meeting LVAQ analysis requirements and falling short in developing appropriate evaluation approaches suitable for whole city scale. In this study, we propose a spatial simulation analysis for the LVAQ of residential districts based on 3D city modeling, aesthetic evaluation and viewshed analysis. In order to improve the accuracy of the study, we collected massive RS data and established a 3D city model covering a large amount of architecture and landscape information. We analyzed three representative cases and calculated the LVAQ of 1258 residential districts in Changsha City, Hunan, China, evaluating the results with various construction and planning indicators. Our results show that the LVAQ of residential districts is affected by their own construction conditions and the surrounding districts and landscape areas. Various architectural and planning indicators have restrictive and direct effects on LVAQ. Optimizing the layout of landscape areas and the construction mode of residential districts through urban planning and urban renewal may help improve their LVAQ. This study helps better understand the general principles that affect the LVAQ of residential districts and supports the development of urban scale LVAQ analysis methods for residential districts. The findings are expected to provide methodological support for the landscape analysis and evaluation of urban residential districts in China and other developing countries and provide optimization ideas for urban human settlement environment sustainability.

“…With respect to wind farm planning, relatively few studies of this kind have investigated residents' perceptions in protected areas in Greece [46,50,[105][106][107]. Studies relating to wind farm impacts often take a 'reductionist' approach with a focus solely on specific impacts; i.e., visual [83], economic evaluations [6,108] or spatial planning design [109].…”

Residents’ Views on Landscape and Ecosystem Services during a Wind Farm Proposal in an Island Protected Area

Industrial wind farms are being developed within many protected areas, such as in EU Natura 2000 sites; this includes proposals on small Mediterranean islands, such as Samothraki in Greece. Scarce wild land areas on islands may be particularly vulnerable to landscape-scale degradation; this may have serious negative societal impacts. Samothraki’s resident perceptions were surveyed in the wake of such a proposal, in June 2018. Of 98 respondents, 48% reported they were against the wind farm plan, while 22% did not take sides. We compare for-and-against sub-group perceptions of the proposed wind farm with potential impacts on the landscape and explore residents’ opinions on ecosystem services and environmental pressures and threats. Conflict over the wind farm was prevalent; residents most frequently reported that the proposal threatens aesthetic and landscape qualities. Aesthetic qualities were also the second highest ranked ecosystem services, after freshwater provision. However, other threats, such as livestock overgrazing, top residents’ opinion of major environmental problems on the island. The questionnaire survey used provides a scoping assessment, which may assist in identifying "conflict hotspots" for wind farm development. A critical review of wind farm planning in protected areas is presented in light of insights gained from this survey and other relevant studies.

Ο γενικός στόχος της διδακτορικής διατριβής ήταν να συμβάλει στη μελέτη των πολιτιστικών τοπίων και των πολιτιστικών οικοσυστημικών υπηρεσιών εντός του δικτύου των προστατευόμενων περιοχών Natura 2000 της Ελλάδας. Η διατήρηση της βιοποικιλότητας είναι η συγκεκριμένη οπτική γωνία από την οποία αυτή η έρευνα μελετά τα τοπία. Οι μέθοδοι είναι διεπιστημονικές. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο, θα μπορούσαν να ληφθούν νέα βήματα για την απογραφή, την έρευνα και την αξιολόγηση της περίπλοκης έννοιας των πολιτιστικών τοπίων. Ελπίζουμε ότι αυτή η συνεισφορά μπορεί να προσφέρει προσεγγίσεις σχετικές με τη διατήρηση για το εξελισσόμενο σύστημα προστατευόμενων περιοχών της Ελλάδας. Αυτή η διατριβή παρουσιάζεται στην αγγλική γλώσσα με εκτεταμένη εισαγωγή και συνοπτική περίληψη της σύνθεσης και των προτάσεων της στα ελληνικά. Η κύρια πτυχή του έργου αφορά τρία επιστημονικά έγγραφα που έχουν δημοσιευτεί σε έγκυρα επιστημονικά περιοδικά και ένα ολοκληρωμένο χειρόγραφο προς δημοσίευση. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε στο πλαίσιο του διδακτορικού προγράμματος μεταξύ Ιουνίου 2015 έως Ιουνίου 2020.
