Funded Activity Summary

Mapping Australia to identify local, regional, and national values. This project aims to map landscape values and preferences to describe Australia’s human landscape. Landscape values measure place importance; preferences measure social acceptability of development options. When both are mapped for representative populations, they identify potential land conflict, assess the compatibility of zoning and development plans, and prioritise areas for future conservation and development. This project will develop a national geospatial database of landscape values using internet-based public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS) and volunteered geographic information (VGI) systems. This can inform future land use planning and development at local, regional, and national levels.
