摘要: Abstract: Landscape visualizations have the potential to support participatory environmental planning at different spatial scales and decision levels from international farm level. However, it is yet unclear what specific demands are relevant for visualization on levels. In this context more knowledge needed about objectives respective tasks, intended effects suitable techniques Especially level has been neglected in research, although farmers make many decisions that affects public interests visual landscape. Farmers need communicate these an understandable way. The question of how can participation process municipal examined paper by drawing findings Interactive Plan Koenigslutter, Germany (IALP) preferences reactions citizens used landscape local On basis, we applicability differences Furthermore, order explore opportunities scale, management system MANUELA was as example information platform could serve a basis scale visualizations. By transferring results level, developed recommentations application visualization, appropriate scale. general show improve providing participants with common image proposals discussion collaborative decisions. Different methods offer capabilities supporting phases. At 2D diagrams often sufficient customers performance ecosystem services. They may consist maps easily generated GIS data. higher (more interactive) communication activities, such discussions affected neighbors land use changes or integration citizens’ proposals, sophisticated would be required.
