Abstract

Shafer Jr, E.L. and Brush, R.O., 1977. How to measure preferences for photographs of natural landscapes. Landscape Plann., 4: 237–256. A regression model is described that predicts preference scores for black and white photographs of natural landscapes. Examples are presented on how the model can be applied to individual and groups of landscape photographs; and theory development suggested by the model's terms are discussed. Decision makers can use the model: to help plan and manage natural landscapes for an optimum range of scenic preferences; to prepare environmental impact statements related to the aesthetic quality of the landscape; and to monitor trends in environmental quality.
