Landscape Character Assessment - Loch Lomond and Trossachs NPA

Landscape Character Assessment (LCA) is a recognised technique which identifies areas with a distinct composition of inter-related natural, physical, cultural and historical characteristics. A National Programme of LCAs was initiated by NatureScot in 1994 covering 29 regional studies carried out with local authorities and other organisations. Although the broad methodology is similar for each study (i.e. carried out in accordance with published guidance), there is not complete consistency in the naming and describing of LCTs. The 2010 Loch Lomond and the Trossachs (LLTT) LCA dataset sits alongside the National dataset, and is captured at a higher resolution. This dataset should be used in conjunction with the LLTT LCA 2010 Report.景观特征评估（Landscape Character Assessment, LCA）是一项被广泛认可的技术手段，用于识别拥有由相互关联的自然、物理、文化及历史特征构成的独特组合的区域。苏格兰自然遗产署（NatureScot）于1994年启动了全国性LCA项目，涵盖29项与地方当局及其他合作机构共同开展的区域研究。尽管各项研究的整体方法论大体统一（即均遵循公开发布的指导规范开展工作），但景观特征类型（Landscape Character Types, LCTs）的命名与描述并未实现完全一致。 2010年洛蒙德湖与特罗萨克斯（Loch Lomond and the Trossachs, LLTT）LCA数据集与全国性数据集并列收录，且以更高分辨率进行采集。该数据集需配合《2010年洛蒙德湖与特罗萨克斯景观特征评估报告》一同使用。
