Description
Summary:Arthur, L.M., Daniel, T.C. and Boster, R.S., 1977. Scenic assessment: An overview. Landscape Plann., 4: 109–129. The authors present a synthesis and overview of techniques developed for evaluating the scenic beauty of natural resources. Literature is grouped into three categories: descriptive inventories, public evaluations, and economic analyses. Both quantitative and non-quantitative methods within each category are discussed, strengths and weaknesses of the general approaches noted, and, occasionally, alternatives suggested. Discussions are focused on methodological soundness and on utility of the evaluative systems for management of scenic resources.
