This project delves into methods for measuring perceived qualities in landscapes, transitioning from quantitative to qualitative research. Drawing from various studies and theories, the aim is to explore different paradigms of landscape perception, with a focus on socio-cultural effects. The discussion emphasizes the importance of embracing an interdisciplinary science approach to identify and communicate intangible values.

Methods for measuring perceived qualities in the landscape - from quantitative to qualitative research Project B: Socio-cultural effects Sofia Jönsson, Marianne Lindström University of Kalmar
Aim of study • Part of Include project B: mapping theories and methods • Litterature study inspired by the research of Swaffield & Fosters (”Community perception of landscape values in the South Island high country”, 2000) • Broad theoretical approach => concrete examples of methods
Short introduction • Perceptions of the landscape - How to ”look” at the landscape - Landscape preferences - Identity • Sustainable development and the concept of ”landscape”: economic interests vs. environmental interests tangible values vs. intangible values
Summary and discussion • Broad variety of research on landscape perception. • Small representation of studies within the socio-cultural approach. Swaffield & Foster argues: this approach has high credability on common preferences and is to prefer when conducting policies and guidelines in authority activities.
Important to focus on a more qualitative approach in landscape perception reserach: identifying intangible values and embracing interdisciplinary science.
Communicate soft values • Additional step in landscape perception research • Landscape values institute, Australia. Public Participation Geographic Information System (PPGIS)
