Landscape character is a term widely used in connection with landscape conservation, its image, aesthetic and natural values. Landscape character assessment stems from two approaches – an expert one (landscape-ecological) and a perceptional one, that is, in what way are the given landscape or the construction perceived. The expert evaluation is an essential basis for decision making processes in the landscape. As the quality of landscape character cannot be measured exactly, each such evaluation faces the problem of subjectivity. Therefore it is rather impossible to separate these two approaches when making a complex assessment of wind turbines impact on the landscape character.
