Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive study on the visual perceptions of travelers along the Blue Ridge Parkway. Collecting data through surveys to analyze their preferences for vista scenes and roadside vegetation management, the author identifies themes or prototypes that visitors prefer to view. It discusses parkway visitor feelings toward vegetation management alternatives at parkway vistas and roadsides, examining the levels and types of vegetation management and their alternatives. Among the central questions the author answers are: what types of vistas are most and least preferred by visitors? What levels and types of maintenance are required to manage the preferred vistas? What is the predictive basis for selecting new or eliminating present vistas? And, what is the relative importance of the visual experience along the different sections of the parkway? The author concludes that this research provides valuable insights for parkway managers to make informed decisions about vista maintenance and vegetation management practices, ultimately enhancing the visual experience for visitors along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
