abstract = {Roads dominate our daily surroundings and are essential
conditions of the access to the visual landscape. This paper
focuses on the dual landscape role of secondary and tertiary
roads in a semi-rural setting, to be understood as the
access to scenery and as their direct influence to the
landscape characteristics. A combination of techniques was
used including a radiocentric morphological landscape
analysis, a perception study on landscape photographs and a
cumulative logit model to assess the factors of landscape
appreciation in this kind of environment. The results show
that roads do not entirely open up the information content
of the visual landscape. Furthermore, roads and built fabric
seem to have a negative impact on landscape appreciation.
This result does not rely on the structures themselves, but
on the artificial materials they are constructed of. The
methodology applied proves to be useful and is probably
applicable in other geographical contexts. It can be a
supporting tool to plan and manage road networks for
improvement of landscape quality, especially in parts of the
countryside strongly affected by urban sprawl. (C) 2009
