Giving voice to the experiential value of natural environments
People value natural environments in many different ways. In addition to the various tangible products and benefits that can be produced from a natural environment, people may also find value in their immediate experience of the environment while they are in it. This experiential value is an important aspect of quality of life for many people, but it is often not taken into account in making decisions about managing natural environments. In part,…
Stated Choice Models for Predicting The Impact Of User Fees at Public Recreation Sites
A crucial question in the implementation of fee programs is how the users of recreation sites will respond to various levels and types of fees. Stated choice models can help managers anticipate the impact of user fees on people's choices among the alternative recreation sites available to them. Models developed for both day and overnight trips to several areas and types of sites in the Midwest have included user fees as one of the site attributes…
Predicting Scenic Values in Forested Residential Landscapes
Mathematical models that predict perceived scenic beauty have been developed for near and distant forested environments. To date, however, human artifacts such as homes, roads, or vehicles have been excluded from these models. The present research examines the scenic quality of nine forested subdivisions near or adjacent to public recreation areas in Colorado. In one experiment the scenic beauty judgments of panels of subjects successfully discri…
Perception of Personal Safety in Urban Recreation Sites
Photograph of 1 7 urban recreation sites in Chicago and Atlanta were evaluated by college students (n = 6 8) in Illinois, Georgia, and Michigan, for either perceived securig, scenic qualily, or both. For most raters, high visibilig and developed park features significantly enhanced per-ceived securily. Scenic qualily, on the other hand, was enhanced for the major-ily of evaluators by a high degree of naturalness and vegetation. For both per-ceive…
Variations in the perception of urban forest recreation sites
This study demonstrates a procedure for detecting variations in the perceived quality of urban forest recreation sites. Observers viewed photographs of a wide range of sites and rated the perceived quality of each. Factor analysis of the interrater correlation matrix revealed two predominant groups of individuals, one favoring natural‐appearing forest settings and the other preferring well‐developed city parks. Individuals who have spent most of …
Alternative Functional Forms for an Inventory-Based Landscape Perception Model
Models were developed for predicting scenic beauty of forest landscapes using field inventories of forest features. Alternative forms for the models included linear, quadratic, cross-product, logarithmic, and square root terms. The more complex nonlinear forms performed only slightly better than the simple linear form, suggesting that linear models are appropriate for practical use in predicting forest scenic beauty from field inventory data. Con…
Mapping the scenic beauty of forest landscapes
A method for developing maps of the scenic beauty of forests is described and applied to a Ponderosa pine forest in Arizona. Sample points were selected and located on the ground. Randomly‐oriented color slides were taken from each point. Observers were asked to rate the scenic beauty of the sites represented by the slides. Ratings were transformed to Scenic Beauty Estimates (SBEs), a standardized, relative index of interval scale. The SBEs for e…
