- PerceptionScenic beauty and impression ratingShowing photos or slides and turning people's judgements of beauty or preference into numbers, to compare landscapes and find what drives the ratings.2 papersDraft
- PerceptionRestorative environments and stress recoveryResearch on how natural and green settings help people recover from stress and mental fatigue, measured with physiological indicators, recovery outcomes or attention tests.3 papersDraft
- Use & behaviourBehaviour observation and behaviour mappingObserving where people are and what they do in parks and plazas and recording it on a plan, to link physical settings directly with behaviour.2 papersDraft
- Imagery & dataGreen view ratioThe share of greenery visible in an eye-level photograph, used to compare how much green people actually see along streets and in parks.2 papersDraft
- Imagery & dataStreet-level imagery and machine learningCollecting large numbers of street-level images and using image recognition and machine learning to estimate greenery or perceived qualities across whole cities.2 papersDraft
- Spatial analysisSpace syntaxQuantifying how streets and spaces are connected to explain and predict pedestrian movement; well-integrated streets tend to carry more people.1 papersDraft
- Spatial analysisLandscape metricsQuantifying the size, shape, dispersion and connectivity of patches (such as green spaces) from land-cover maps; widely used in landscape ecology.1 papersDraft
- Use & behaviourPublic participation GIS (PPGIS)Asking residents and users to mark places on a map (favourite, unsafe, used) and using the resulting spatial data in planning.1 papersDraft
- Environment & ecologyMicroclimate simulationSimulating air temperature, wind, radiation and surface temperature in a 3D model of buildings, paving, trees and water to predict thermal comfort, often with ENVI-met.1 papersDraft
- Environment & ecologyUrban forest ecosystem services assessmentSampling urban trees and estimating functions such as air pollution removal and carbon storage from tree counts, species and sizes; i-Tree (formerly UFORE) is the best-known tool.1 papersDraft
- Design researchResearch through designingUsing the act of designing itself as a research method to generate new knowledge, discussed as a bridge between research and practice in landscape architecture.1 papersDraft
