Abstract
Landscape aesthetic quality (LAQ) of Lithuania (national scale) was calculated by assessing three indicators: a) landscape diversity, b) landscape naturalness, c) landscape uniqueness. The framework was originally described by Hermes et al., 2018a. It was reviewed and improved for the current study, adjusting it to available datasets and geographical location of Lithuania. Each pixel represents the 100 x 100 m cell with low (red) to high (green) score for aesthetic values. The framework for the LAQ is based on subjective and objective criteria. For more detailed description of methodology please consult the scientific article "Mapping and assessment of landscape aesthetic quality in Lithuania" by Kalinauskas, M., Mikša, K., Inácio, M., Gomes, E., & Pereira, P. (2021). https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112239
