摘要: Visualisation technologies are powerful tools for communicating the scientific outcomes of environmental planning models. This study specifically explores strengths and weaknesses landscape visualisation techniques in by drawing upon insights from multi-agency Lower Murray Landscape Futures (LMLF) integrated modelling analysis project south-eastern Australia. The explored spatially explicit policy options scenarios assessing impacts achieving regional natural resource management targets. Alternative futures were communicated using a range available online. We assessed suite products deployed to two audiences (i) current users comprising managers planners working within area (ii) future university students currently studying spatial information sciences as part their program. Semi-structured interviews website evaluation surveys undertaken with users, respectively. Results indicate that both appreciated investment decision support products. had concerns around target audience nature extent communications stakeholder engagement product development. user group more interested visual clarity End feedback provided number useful recommendations relation how could be refined improve communication effectiveness end experience. conclude presenting directions science outcomes.
