Abstract
Physiognomic landscape maps are mainly used in medium-scale planning projects in The Netherlands. The Landscape Information System, developed at The Netherlands Soil Survey Institute from 1977 to 1981, was designed to provide planners with flexible, objective, multi-purpose landscape data bases that would circumvent the limitations of earlier classification-based manual approaches. This article reviews the design of the Landscape Information System, and the methods of data collection, storage and processing (retrieval, classification, simulation and interpretation). The article describes applications of the Landscape Information System in the context of a number of landscape surveys performed in the period 1978–1984 for local and regional Dutch planning authorities.
