Present ActivitiesMy research currently focuses on perceived landscape quality. I am interested in people's perceptions, needs and expectations regarding landscape quality and landscape development, in particular in the living environment. Furthermore, I investigate social aspects in landscape development processes, for example in the context of park projects. A third area of research, which has re-emerged recently, is how people process complex information, in particular with regard to risks in the context of natural hazards. Current Research Projects:- Knowledge-based approach to build a culture of risk prevention in Europe (KULTURisk) >>> - Waldmonitoring Soziokulturell (WaMos 2) >>> - Die Akzeptanz der Akzeptanz von Grossschutzgebieten >>> - Landschaftsbeobachtung Schweiz >>> Former WSL Research Projects:- Evaluation des Potentials der MAP D-PHASE Visualisierungsplattform zur
