"This paper presents a survey of visual preferences expressed in the Czech Republic. Respondents in several Protected Landscape Areas were asked to respond to a questionnaire on preferences for 24 different photographs of landscape scenes. To ensure that a wide variety of landscape scenes were presented, two landscape groups were established: open landscapes and rural settlement landscapes. Considering possible driving factors of visual landscape preferences, these groups were divided into six categories. Two subcategories were consequently established for each category. The analysis has shown that whereas open landscapes are generally positively rated respondents gave low ratings to rural settlement landscapes. Open landscape scenes that included a cultural or natural landmark obtained the highest ratings, while scenes with a large amount of arable land or containing settlements were rated lowest. In rural settlements, the level of typicality of the buildings in the scenes seems to be crucial. Among"@en . . . "0" . "[35DBC1F33DCC]" .
