Although the Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) method of characterising landscape used in England and Scotland is relatively well known, there is also a method which provides complete coverage of Wales, which takes a slightly different approach. This method of landscape assessment constitutes a multi-disciplnary approach to landscape assessment and characterisation. Although not an interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary approach, the LANDMAP methodology encompases multiple aspects of landscape providing a relatively holstic assessment.

Yet there are some weaknesses within this method as with all methods, firstly it is extremly timeconsuming and thus expensive and secondly; and as is the case with many assessments and landscape planning projects there is a lack of public involvement.
