Routledge Handbook of Environmental Hazards and Society
The processes that produce volcanic eruptions, impacts on people and their activities and the measures that may be taken in order to mitigate their consequences are the foci of this review. The nature and style of eruptions are related to differing plate tectonic situations and features of the sub-aerial environment, especially water availability. Eruptive style is related to both the traditional descriptive terminology (e.g. Plinian, Strombolian…

The English Beach: Experiences and Values
This paper reports on a decade of empirical research on the experiences and perceptions of English beach users. Surveys have been conducted at 15 locations and interviews held with nearly 4000 people to gain insights into the meanings that beach experiences have for them, and the values that they attach to these and their associations. This research indicates that the dominant meanings of beaches for those interviewed are linked to concepts of na…

Flood Hazard Management in Britain: A Changing Scene
Flood hazard management in Britain is changing. This reflects the changing political economy in Britain towards the end of the 1980s, which has brought greater emphasis on lessening the role of the public sector. The results are increased attention to the worthwhileness of government investment in flood alleviation, greater environmental awareness, and shifting institutional arrangements. The latter reflects the reduced influence of farming and l…

A public preference evaluation of landscape quality
Penning-Rowsell E. C. (1982) A public preference evaluation of landscape quality. Reg. Studies 16, 97–112. Results are presented from a survey of attitudes to landscape quality for 540 residents of Dacorum District, Hertfordshire, England. A single semantic differential rating scale is shown to capture the public's apparently firm and rational attitudes to landscape quality. Consensus was high and both ranked evaluations and proferred reasons for…

The Influence of Scale on the Factors Affecting Stream Channel Slope
The effect of scale on geographical explanations is noteworthy because of the need to relate spatial patterns and form to the correct processes so that valid process/form models can be developed. An investigation in south-east England of the factors affecting stream channel slope, an important variable influencing landscape morphology, shows that local variations in stream slope are related to stream bed material size while broader variations in …

Constraints on the Application of Landscape Evaluations
Planning authorities undertake landscape evaluations in order to formulate and operationalize policy in the areas of landscape preservation and protection, landscape improvement and recreation. Different evaluations provide different types of data as inputs to decision-making in these policy areas, and no one method of evaluation is appropriate to all four. The suitability of the data input is constrained by landscape-evaluation type, survey-unit…
