Abstract

Abstract Cartographic representations of landscape beauty face many pitfalls. Historically, significant problems have been associated with the use of surrogate variables to represent overall quality, as well as the general difficulties of two‐dimensional representation of views seen in elevation. Although current methods of landscape mapping appear to remain neutral on matters of qualitative judgement, and purport only to classify landscape types, these may be associated with problems of consistency and meaning. Future efforts might profitably be directed to analysing landscapes in terms of their probability of providing particular experiences and opportunities, and developing rules about people's appreciation of different landscape types
