TY - JOUR ID - citeulike:576470 L3 - citeulike-article-id:576470 N2 - There are an infinite number of positions and perspectives from which a landscape may be viewed. When assessing landscape visual quality some systematic sampling of this infinitude is essential. This paper focuses attention on this often neglected yet critical task. It is suggested that sampling from the used or visited landscape is at least as important as sampling from the ecological and/or topological landscape. The implications for landscape sampling of the following issues are discussed: the visitor's purpose, the meaning associated with landscape features, the intensity and location of use, sequence of exposure and locomotion through a landscape, emotion experienced while in the landscape, factors which attract a visitor's attention, and the temporal characteristics of the landscape. Participant photography is suggested as a method to supplement existing landscape sampling approaches because it samples the landscape from the perspective of persons who visit the landscape.
