The European Landscape Convention emphasises the need for public participation in landscape planning and management. This demands understanding of how people perceive observe landscapes. can objectively be measured using eye tracking, a system recording movements fixations while observing images. In this study, 23 participants were asked to 90 photographs, representing 18 character types Flanders (Belgium) differing degree openness heterogeneity. For each landscape, five photographs shown,...

We analyze if the visual exploration of landscape photographs is influenced by urbanization level and whether this correlated with complexity. determine differences in viewing behavior are related to complexity, expressed photograph's spectral entropy. An eye-tracking experiment conducted measure while observing photographs. A more extensive dispersed found urbanized landscapes. The fixation pattern restricted clustered weakly When buildings lacking, trend cannot be extrapolated since these...
Land use changes have been investigated in the surroundings of 14 rural Montenegrin settlements order to get specific information about trends land abandonment since around 1950. Permanently, seasonally and less inhabited with different geographic conditions were studied. This was done by interviewing local inhabitants, which enabled a holistic approach reveal underlying processes abandonment. According observed patterns change, study sites can be categorized into intensified, urbanized,...
Stormwater runoff is the major source of surface flooding in urban communities. Urban water one most worrisome issues, due to their negative impacts on public health. Green infrastructure has developed as an alternative approach cope with flooding. The reduction capacity green needs be elucidated better support planning. There are some models assess landscape. However, these do not consider landscape patterns and usually need large time, data, making it less accessible planners...
