Evaluation of the Aesthetic Properties of Plain Landscape by Remote Earth Sounding Methods (Case Study of the Museum-Reserve “Kulikovo Pole”)

Abstract
The aesthetic properties of landscapes are traditionally determined on the basis of a system of visual indicators in the course of field surveys along individual routes. The possibility of using remote methods in such studies depends on the agreement of their results with field data. The article compares the results of the aesthetic assessment of the landscapes of the museum-reserve “Kulikovo pole” based on traditional field methods and high-resolution images obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The study was carried out in May 2021 for the museum’s ecological trail, about 6 km long, on which observation points with panoramic views are marked, typical for the landscape of hilly-ridged structural-denudation plains. Using the example of three indicators–depth and variety of perspectives, forest coverage and abundance of open spaces in the landscape—it is demonstrated that the method of aesthetic assessment of landscapes based on the combined data of DTM (2 m resolution) and SRTM DEM (30 m resolution) allows you to determine these visual indicators with good match with field results. In some cases, it is required to use corrections because of visual distortion associated with the remoteness of the observed objects. It is shown that the method of aesthetic assessment of landscapes using GIS technologies, which was previously carried out for mountainous areas, can be used for less expressive relief and anthropogenically transformed flat landscapes.
