4. Discussion<br />

This paper presents an approach to analysing visual diversity <strong>and</strong> content of l<strong>and</strong> cover <strong>and</strong><br />

change, using GIS tools. The l<strong>and</strong>scape diversity <strong>and</strong> content maps provide information for use<br />

in forest management <strong>and</strong> planning. The final analysis <strong>and</strong> evaluation of the results is ongoing,<br />

based on expert experience <strong>and</strong> opinion. This will include an assessment of their value in terms<br />

of parameters for use in planning tourist routes.<br />
