Landscape_Character_Assessment

Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) is the recognised analytical technique which identifies areas with a distinct composition of inter-related physical, cultural, historical and perceptual characteristics. The first national programme of LCAs was initiated by SNH in the 1990s, and produced 29 reports with relevant local authorities and other organisations. This dataset has been reviewed to take account of intervening technical improvements in website mapping to produce a revised national suite of landscape character types. This is at 1:50,000 scale and has been created in collaboration and consultation with FCS and HES as well as all local authorities.景观特征评估（Landscape Character Assessment，LCA）是业界公认的分析技术，可用于识别具备相互关联的自然、文化、历史与感知特征独特组合的区域。首个国家级景观特征评估项目于20世纪90年代由SNH发起，并联合相关地方当局与其他机构完成了29份专项报告。本数据集已结合在此期间网络制图技术的迭代升级完成复审，以生成修订后的国家级景观特征类型集。该类型集比例尺为1:5万，系联合FCS、HES及所有地方当局开展协作与咨询后完成编制。
