Abstract

Public policy for adaptation to climate change includes assessing potential impacts offuture land uses, using an Ecosystem Approach. Visualisation tools have been used to test for publicpreferences for scenarios of future land use, suggesting preferences for visual diversity, soundstewardship and perceived naturalness. A virtual reality environment was used to elicit a scenario ofpreferred future land use from audiences familiar and unfamiliar with the study area. Findings showedagreement in developing amenity woodland adjacent to a village, and environmental protection, butdifferences arose in relation to proposals for medium-sized windfarms.
