Welcome to the colloquium Exploring the Visual Landscape!
Exploring the Visual Landscape aims to provide a platform for visual landscape research, an interdisciplinary approach that combines (1) landscape planning, design and management concepts, (2) landscape perception approaches, and (3) Geographic Information Science (GISc)-based methods and techniques.
During this colloquium renowned scholars and young talented researchers will address theory, methodology and application of visual landscape research in the rural and urban realm. The various contributions provide a wide range of insights into: the psychological background of landscape perception, the technical considerations of geomatics, and methodology in landscape architecture, urban planning and design. Furthermore some speakers will discuss applications in the practice of landscape policy making.
We hope that this colloquium will stimulate the dialogue and cooperation in visual landscape research via development of the field, discussion and publications.
We wish you a pleasant and fruitful colloquium.
