Improved Photographic Representation of Human Vision for Landscape Assessment

Photographs have been used for many years in landscape assessment. Typically, these methods rely on standard image formats (e.g. 24 x 36 mm). The main objective of this study was to develop a photo based interview process that offers an improved representa­tion of real human vision. The process is composed of two main steps: the first step is to produce photos that replicate real horizontal as well as vertical human vision. These panoramic photos are then used in the second step to interview participants in order to identify local characteristic elements of the study site in Yantai, China. The results revealed that an interview using 180? panoramic photos offers improved representation of human vision and helps to pinpoint and understand people’s perceptions of their surrounding land­scape.
