Abstract: | This study describes a method for quantitative evaluation of visual resources of the Mediterranean coast of Israel. The method
used visual characteristics of contrast, variety, competition, composition and harmony to identify visually preferred sites.
Various coastal physical elements were used as a measurement scale of the characteristics. The study also examined the use
of photographic slides vs. filed visit as a tool for visual resources evaluation of the Israeli coast.
Findings were based on data gathered from a questionnaire given to two groups in the laboratory and in the field.
Statistical analysis of the findings indicated that the proposed method could be used effectively to measure visual preference
of the Israeli coast using physical elements and quantitative values. The data also show that the use of photographic slides
in laboratory conditions is as effective a tool as field observation for the evaluation of observer's visual preference of
the coast. |
