| الوصف: | International audience ; & Context The current paradigms for the sustainable develop-ment of forests and agriculture involve territorial organization of these activities as well as the multifunctionality of the related landscapes. Accordingly, the new management strate-gies need to take into account the suitability of the resulting landscapes to produce the goods and services expected by society. & Aims The aim of the study was to assess the preferred landscape patterns by different groups of users. In focus were the relations between the landscape metrics of preferred pat-terns and the individual characteristics of respondents. & Methods A regional quantitative survey of both production and different consumption landscape users was conducted in the Alentejo region, southern Portugal. Respondents com-posed their preferred patterns on a block diagram representing an area of landscape seen from a single view according to the existing topographic conditions in the study area. & Results In general, the visually complex landscape patterns were preferred more than the homogeneous ones. However, the metrics of preferred patterns varied between the user groups. The montado was the only land cover class that was present in the majority of preferred patterns. & Conclusion For landscape users in southern Portugal, the visually complex landscapes including the montado are es-sential to satisfy their expectations. This may be an important fact to be taken into account for policy and landscape man-agement in the future. |
