Short Introduction to the Area of Study
In my master course, for the last semester, I am working on Remstal Valley near Stuttgart. The project area is almost 70km long, linear axis along the river. The area is important with its traditional, time-to-time typical southern German landscape elements. The project is about assessing the landscape scenery in Remstal region in Germany- area heavily influenced with road infrastructure. For analyzing we took different criteria such as: sound disturbance, landscape patterns and Landscape colors. Sound pollution will be calculated with GIS analysis using parameters such as topography and landscape buffers- forests and arable fields. As a result we will develop sonic scenario "how could it sound like" by recorded the sounds from the project area and then editing and filtering these sound data. As for the landscape patterns and color analysis, it is going to result with visual scenarios of a change in a landscape. On the end we will merge these two analyses in order to find the most pleasant areas to be. After finding out our parameters for landscape assessment in Remstal, second step will making some decisions and improving some concepts if the landscape should be protected as it is, should it be improved in order to preserve the existing texture.
