Abstract

Increased development of landscapes for tourism now creates problems of integrating the many parts. Accomplishments at the site scale have not been matched with equal progress at the regional scale. This concept, and its example of application, shows promise of assisting regions in assessing their potential of landscapes before development. With such a concept, not only do regions have better guidelines for developing or protecting resources, but also the many developers can make more effective decisions at the site scale.
