An attempt was made to assess the value of a village district’s landscape for the purposes of recreation. The assessment was mainly based on an evaluation of the natural environment while the other aspects of the landscape (the cultural and visual environment) were treated as supplementary assets. The prioritised qualities of the landscape provide a basic source of information on its attractiveness. Such information can be used for formulating recommendations on how to shape the landscape of an area to meet e.g. recreational needs.
