A method for developing maps of the scenic beauty of forests is described and applied to a Ponderosa pine forest in Arizona. Sample points were selected and located on the ground. Randomly-oriented color slides were taken from each point. Observers were asked to rate the scenic beauty of the sites represented by the slides. Ratings were transformed to Scenic Beauty Estimates (SBEs), a standardized, relative index of interval scale. The SBEs for each location were submitted, along with data describing the location of each sample point, to a computer program (SYMAP) which produces interpolated maps of the scenic beauty of the area. Data concerning the reliability and validity of the procedure are presented. The relationship between the scenic beauty map and maps of physical forest features was investigated. |
