- Abstract : As an attractive environment urban woodland is important for people. The visual aspects of urban woodland have been investigated. “The visual aspect is how most people experience the woodland, both when visiting and as part of their everyday landscape”. The author searches for tools and approaches for analyzing and describing the visual aspects. This thesis is dealing with some visual concepts: diversity, scale, visual accessibility, stewardship, naturalness and coherence. Urban pressure, cultural context and management are important factors for interpreting and understanding the way management and planning strategies are carried out and hence offer insights into visual resource management. This thesis contains 4 papers. 1) A model for quantifying and predicting urban pressure on woodland. 2) Visual aspects in urban woodland management. 3) Research in urban woodland management and planning – two parallel paradigm. 4) Analysing the woodland content of views: a case study of Aberdeen, Scotland.
