In this study we examine if such a consensus in visually experiencing a landscape truly exists and what the main differences in visual perceptions of landscape are. To gather participant’s visual experiences, a participant generated image (PGI) method was used. Each participant took a photo, which he/she believed best represented the surrounding landscape and provided reasoning for their choice. With a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis three distinct perceptions were found. Each places different emphasis on land uses, locality and the concept of nature. The study shows the plurality of visual experiences of a landscape, suggesting caution when using surrogates for representing a landscape and offers alternative possible applications of the PGI method for evoking and understanding people’s views of landscape. date_type: published date: 2017-02 publication: JoDLA Journal of Digital Landscape Architecture number: 2 pagerange: 18-27 id_number: 10.14627/537629003 institution: Arquitectura department: Proyectos_Arquitectonicos refereed: TRUE issn: 2511-624X official_url: https://dx.doi.org/10.14627/537629003 citation: Mestre Martínez, Nieves and Bevk, Tadej and Brereton, Patrick and Lalošević, Marija and Perič, Milica (2017).
