Planning and monitoring of landscapes cannot be reduced to its outstanding features, but must take into account all its characteristics. In this context, the relationship of landscape with roads is of particular importance, because roads alter the territory's environmental resources but also constitute a resource through which the individual comes into contact with the landscape. The aim of this work is to design a methodology to evaluate both the character and the scenic quality of the landscape as viewed from motorways and to provide measures to assess whether the motorway conveys the character of the landscape of which it forms part. The main contribution of this research consists of assessing landscape character through a novel series of map-based indicators and combining the findings with a photo-based method of assessing visual landscape quality. The method has been applied to a case study around a motorway in Madrid Region (Spain). Landscape character values regarding coherence, complexity, naturalness, visual scale, disturbance, historicity, and ephemera are obtained using Geographic Information Systems. Additionally, the landscape quality results derived using photographs allow the incorporation of the user's perception at a local scale.
景观的规划与监测不能仅局限于其突出特征，还必须考虑其所有特性。在此背景下，景观与道路的关系尤为重要，因为道路改变了地域的环境资源，但同时也构成了一种资源，通过它个体得以接触到景观。这项工作的目的是设计一种方法，用以评估从高速公路上所看到的景观特征和风景质量，并提供措施来评估高速公路是否传达了其所在景观的特征。本研究的主要贡献在于通过一系列基于地图的新颖指标来评估景观特征，并将研究结果与基于照片的视觉景观质量评估方法相结合。该方法已应用于西班牙马德里地区一条高速公路周边的案例研究。利用地理信息系统获取了关于连贯性、复杂性、自然性、视觉尺度、干扰性、历史性和短暂性等方面的景观特征值。此外，通过照片得出的景观质量结果能够纳入当地尺度下用户的感知。
