Landscape preference assessment of Louisiana river landscapes: a methodological study

Abstract

The study pertains to the development of an assessment system for the analysis of visual preference attributed to Louisiana river landscapes. The assessment system was utilized in the evaluation of 20 Louisiana river scenes. Individuals were tested for their free choice preference for the same scenes. A statistical analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between the assessment model and the individual's preference for the scenes. The test results indicated that the logic followed in the evaluative model may be of value in the prediction of visual preference for Louisiana river landscapes.
