description In general, studies on scenic beauty assessment observed to flourish tremendously, due to the advance of knowledge in science, technology and socio-politics.

Both paradigms received positive acceptance over the last century. Looking at this, it is unlikely to say, whether the expert is better than the perception or vice versa. The former is found to dominate the environmental management practice, while the latter is highly accepted among the researchers in the studies of landscape preference.
