Abstract
One of the main factors affecting public acceptance of wind parks is their visual impact. Very often this problem can be solved by taking into account certain methods and techniques. This paper reviews the most common methods (such as Quechee analysis, the Spanish method, the method of visual limits); as example is presented the evaluation of the visual impact of a wind park in Chania, Crete. Besides, the outcomes are combined with the psychometric testing of the residents by the use of questionnaires and with the values of the Spanish method. The results of the study prove that the quantification of the potential visual impact could minimize this, apparently, main reason that affects public acceptance.
