Sammanfattning

The present study investigated if some of the techniques commonly used today in landscape assessment visualizations are similar enough to photographs of the environment they try to depict to not cause disturbances in behaviour or in assessment. The results show that there are key differences in the assessment of species richness and stewardship between the modalities. The study is performed as an experimental study, recording viewing behaviour through eye-tracking and values given by respondents when assessing stewardship and species richness based on digitally created visualizations, compared to photographs of real world scenes. The conclusions of the study are that we need to understand the components and the cognitive functions that are at work during landscape assessments, since there are differences in assessing photographs and visualisations, and that visualisations can work as surrogate to photographs, but not in a mix with photographs
