Description: A numerical model capable of accurately predicting the preference for landscape photographs of selected points in eastern Connecticut is presented. A function of the social attitudes expressed toward thirty-two salient visual landscape features serves as the independent variable in predicting preferences. A technique for objectively assigning adjectives to landscape scenes is also discussed. This Landscape Preference Model has received field application in parts of eastern Connecticut for evaluating the effects of human activities on scenic quality.
