Abstract

The enforcement of interests in landscape and nature protection is often impeded by the fact that the definition of so-called aesthetic value of the natural formations is economically not really convincing. The market value of the landscape scenery is especially hard to be defined. The paper partly provides an overview of the objective indexes with which the qualification of the landscape scenery may be more reliable and partly introduces the possibilities suggested in the special literature for expressing the monetary value of landscape beauty.
Geography hopes to make the measurability of the landscape scenery more objective with the help of its values calculated for the geographic configuration, anthropogenic impact intensity, and the contrast in the forma and colour. Experts suggest so-called „supposed marketing methods” (contingent valuation) that is the WTP/WTA-method for the expression of the scenery value in financial terms. Among these, the travel cost method, the estimation of the property value changes and the value of the ecosystem “service” – published by Costanza et al. in 1997 – are the most widespread. The latter one regards the functioning of the ecosystems as a real service for the social environment and thus expresses, for example, the recreational value or the value of the regenerative capacity of soil potential.
