| About the Institute |
| The Landscape Values Institute is a non-profit consortium of international researchers and planners interested in advancing knowledge about
landscape values to improve land allocation and management.
Landscape value and special place mapping is a planning technique whose principles are grounded in sustainable land use and environmental protection, meaningful public participation, and the inclusion of multiple values in
land use decisionmaking. Landscape value and special place mapping is a type of public participation geographic information system or (PPGIS) used to support land use planning efforts at multiple scales ranging from local, to regional, to national scales. Within this web site you will find numerous examples of applications, methods, and tools for mapping and analyzing landscape values and special places. You will also find resources to help design and implement landscape value mapping for a variety of planning applications. |
