- Abstract in English : The reintroduction of agroforestry networks is one of a number of strategies that some authorities of the lagoon of Venice drainage basin (in Italy) are planning to use in order to control lagoon pollution and to achieve landscape amelioration. While attention is paid to the conservation implications and environmental effects of an ecological net work, socio-cultural impacts are not generally given the same consideration. The aims of this paper are: to analyze the influence of socio-economic variables of the effect of agroforestry on the landscape; to assess the impact of landscape amelioration planning output on the scenic beauty of the landscape; to analyse the relationship between scenic beauty and landscape descriptors at the local and at the landscape scale; to assess the strength of the Scenic beauty evaluation approach.
