Mapping Australia to identify local, regional, and national values

该项目旨在绘制景观价值和偏好地图，以描述澳大利亚的人文景观。景观价值衡量的是地方的重要性；偏好衡量的是社会对发展选择的接受程度。当为具有代表性的人口绘制地图时，它们将识别潜在的土地冲突，评估分区和发展计划的兼容性，并为未来的保护和发展确定地区的优先顺序。该项目将利用基于互联网的公众参与地理信息系统和志愿地理信息系统开发一个国家景观价值地理空间数据库。这可以为未来地方、地区和国家层面的土地利用规划和发展提供信息。

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.
