Visual pollution (VP) is a visual landscape quality issue, and its most consistently recognized symptom is an excess of out of home advertising billboards (OOHb). However, the VP related research concerns landscape aesthetic and advertisement cultural context, leaving the impact of outdoor billboard infrastructure on landscape openness unanswered to date. This research aims to assess the visual impact of outdoor billboard infrastructure on landscape openness, precisely the visual volume—a key geometrical quality of a landscape. The method uses 3D isovists and voxels to calculate the visible and obstructed subsets of visible volume. Using two case studies (Lublin City, Poland) and 26 measurement points, it was found that OOHb decreased landscape openness by at least 4% of visible volume; however, the severe impact may concern up to 35% of visual volume. GIS scientists develop the proposed method for policy-makers, and urban planners end users. It is also the very first example of compiling 3D isovists and voxels in ArcGIS Pro software in an easy-to-replicate framework. The research results, accompanied by statistically significant proofs, explain the visual landscape’s fragility and contribute to understanding the VP phenomenon.

The visual landscape quality mapping of tourist attraction in Eka Karya Bedugul Botanical Garden. Eka Karya Bedugul Botanical Garden is a national and international reference to the ex-situ conservation of tropical mountain plant and botanical aspect service, environmental education, horticulture, landscape and tourisms. In order to provide tourism services, actual activities such as conserving and improving the quality of view are needed. The beauty of landscape view is not only determined by enviromental characteristic and landscape wealth, but it also is determined through the assessment of people from their perception over a landscape. The research aimed to map the visual quality landscape in Eka Karya Bedugul Botanical Garden and determine the best criteria of visual quality on natural landscape. The research methods used were surverys and visual assesments which include data collecting step, beauty assesment with scenic beauty estimation (SBE), and descriptive analysis about the determinant factor of visual quality on natural landscape. The beauty of the visual quality over the natural landscape was shown through the harmonic combination of landscape form elements. The visual quality over the natural landscape used were the unity of resources, well maintained natural landscape, and giving a lively effect resulted through the use of combining landscape form elements and design. There were seven landscape points that fall under the best visual quality landscape category, which were landscape number 18,32,33,34,37,38, and 40. The visual landscape quality points in Eka Karya Bedugul Botanical Garden need a regular and persistence maintainence to extend the longevity and aesthetic quality of the natural landscape.

Today, the problem of reducing the cost of resources and time during planning and conducting tests remains relevant. This problem is especially acute in qualified testing agencies, where testing prototypes at different stages of the life cycle is the main functional task. Automation of planning processes and optimization of testing processes will significantly reduce such costs and improve the overall quality of testing. The article considers the theoretical issues of forming quantitative plans for testing samples of armaments and military equipment (AME) in obtaining zonal estimates of stochastic parameters and characteristics. The need for zonal estimates arises to confirm the quality of the sample for a given stochastic characteristic in the range from the allowable probabilistic value to the maximum (minimum) possible. The authors propose an approach to obtaining zonal estimates of the parameters of the armament and military equipment test sample, which theoretically meet the requirements of a given accuracy and reliability. The approach is based on the use of a flexible test plan, which is terminated when statistical confirmation of the probabilistic value not worse than specified by the developer is obtained. Ensuring the quality of evaluation is carried out by virtue of the minimum required number of repetitions of the experiment and the balance of the number of successful to the total number of experiments. It is shown that a flexible test plan can significantly reduce the total number of experiments, which will to some extent reduce the resource and time costs of testing samples of armament and military equipment. For the practical application of the approach of obtaining zonal estimates of the AME sample quality, its formalization and algorithmics is required. It is assumed that the developed approach will be implemented in the form of a functional module as а part of the subsystem of automated planning and quality management of AME sample tests.

The paper deals with urban landscape individualities in the cities and towns of Latgale region. Also show facilities and methods of integrated assessment of urban landscape quality. Article provides information about specifics of urban landscape and factors, that have influence on landscape quality. The paper presents the results of Daugavpils and Rēzekne urban landscape quality complex assessment, that have been realised in 2003- 2005. This results don’t establish significant disparities between quality of urban landscape among Daugavpils and Rēzekne. This method of urban landscape assessment makes possible to get believeable and precise information about landscapes quality.

The traditional heritage corridor is considered as one strategy of regional heritage preservation which linked with urban green space system. However, heritage corridor is seen as one landscape with heritage preservation value and closely bound up with human activities and social conversations which related to the heritage corridor. In this paper, taking the region of Nanjing Qinhuai River from Shuixi Gate to Hanzhong Gate as an example, we divided the evaluation system into two aspects, elements of landscape and ways of observation, to discuss the interaction and relationship between the visual experiences of different human activities and the landscape quality of heritage corridor. Using qualitative study as its primary means while quantitative study as auxiliary one, we attempted to establish one quantitative visual evaluation system under the influence of multi-factor interactive model. With the system, we did the visual evaluation for that region considering different motion ways, which differs from the past single-factor qualitative research, for the aim of facilitating the landscape quality quantification.

The research presented here constructed highway landscape quality evaluation indexes and a model based on public satisfaction. The goal was to determine if public satisfaction of highway landscape quality can be statistically measured. Several methods of highway landscape quality evaluation were first reviewed to determine what limitations were existed. From that review, a highway landscape quality evaluation indexes were selected and a model based on the selected indexes were constructed according to theory of public satisfaction. An on-site study was conducted to obtain public satisfaction of a scenic road using the selected indexes and model, statistical methods were employed to test the validity and reliability. Results indicate that the public satisfaction can reflect the quality of highway landscape, and the selected indexes can fully represent highway landscape quality.

Owing to widely advertized issue of renewal of urban tissue cities gain their chance for re-birth and “second youth”. These entities struggle with degradation and depopulation through, among others, re-discovering cultural, architectural and historical values alike, restructuring postrailway, post-military and post-industrial areas as well as renovation of old housing estates and other damaged building resources. Next to the degradation of the housing substance, another problem of the cities is demographic crisis. The amount of cities’ inhabitants decreases systematically, the process of ageing of society affects more and more aspects of economy and the decline in population growth as well as mass emigration of young people are not promising. Thus main tasks of cities development became tasks of qualitative revival of material resources and human capital. Considering revitalization as a cities revival tool one have to have in mind it cannot concern only the material structure of a city but has to be spread over the broadly understood social issues. Moreover, the revitalization actions have to be based on a new planning model through involving local societies into planning processes. In this way it can contribute to the integration of residents as well as to the larger identification with place of residence which may be an object of their special care in coming years. To summarise, only such integrated and complex attitude as above may bring expected results of increasing the quality of the cities and the Local Revitalisation Programmes, which are one of the requirements of revitalization programmes studies, may essentially contribute.
