Abstract
The present study is the third in a series of pilot projects. Working from the findings of the earlier two papers, the authors have attempted to quantify some of the relationships between preference ratings assigned to landscapes and the specific characteristics of those landscapes. Also attempted is an assessment of the relative validity of several different methods of investigating landscape quality: in particular, it was desired to discover which of two experimental methods involving photographs of landscapes comes closest to reproducing the results of experiments involving landscapes themselves.
