Landscape Character Areas

The Northern Ireland Landscape Character Assessment subdivided the countryside into 130 Landscape Character Areas (LCAs), each based upon local patterns of geology, landform, land use, cultural and ecological features. For each LCA, the key characteristics were described and an analysis of landscape condition and its sensitivity to change was made. Detailed descriptions of these landscapes are provided in the Northern Ireland Environment Agency's (NIEA) series of Landscape Character Assessment Reports (July 1999); the descriptions are also available on the NIEA website: https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/northern-ireland-environment-agency

北爱尔兰景观特征评估将乡村划分为130个景观特征区域（LCAs），每个区域均基于当地的地质、地形、土地利用、文化和生态特征的模式。对于每个LCAs，均对其关键特征进行了描述，并对景观状况及其对变化的敏感性进行了分析。这些景观的详细描述收录于北爱尔兰环境署（NIEA）的景观特征评估报告系列（1999年7月）；描述内容亦可在NIEA网站上查阅：https://www.daera-ni.gov.uk/northern-ireland-environment-agency
