Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between the BLM scenic quality rating procedure and landscape preference. Dimensions based on landscape preference were examined for the presence of BLM scenic quality key factors, as well as perceptual variables identified by others as being important in explaining landscape preference. It was found that the BLM scenic quality rating procedure is a relatively good predictor of landscape preference and reduces variance between professional types. However, the BLM scenic quality key factors, other than landform, were not found to be important stimuli in landscape preference. The paper concludes that while the BLM scenic quality rating procedure is a useful predictor of landscape preference, it does not provide an understanding of causal factors affecting landscape preference. In addition, the paper suggests that in resource management situations the procedure should not be used as a substitute for an understanding of the theory of landscape perception and assessment.
