Abstract

Landscape is part of the natural heritage and it has scenic, esthetic and economic values, both from the point of view of tourism and recreation, as well as in terms of the social access to the contemplation and use of such heritage. Scenic values are in fact, natural resources, and as such, high scenic values are scarce, and thus, valuable. In the case of scenic values, it is necessary to apply techniques of quantitative evaluation of such resources, which are closely related to the geomorphological characteristics of the studied region, to use these results in decision-making and priority ranking processes. This paper presents various techniques of quantitative evaluation which may be applied at the local and regional level. A case study in Tierra del Fuego is herein described.
