Landscape evaluaton: a research project in East Sussex

Abstract

Fines K. D. (1968) Landscape evaluation: A research project in East Sussex, Reg. Studies 2, 41–55. A method of landscape and townscape evaluation is described. A worldwide scale of values was devised by testing a selected group with photographs to remove personal bias. A network of view evaluations is converted to land-surface values. A micro-evaluation of East Sussex is set against an outline evaluation of Britain; regional “landscape value profiles” with parameters being illustrated. The rate of “landscape erosion” is discussed. Applications of the technique and an example of route selection for a supergrid transmission line are explored. Methods of defining conservation areas by statistical techniques are described and a plea made for the recognition of areas important in relation to population and accessibility.
