Landscape planning studies usually consider landscape values through expert assessments of landscape aesthetic quality. Combining such expert assessments with people’s perceptions as derived from citizen-based approaches is advisable, but scientific knowledge gaps exist regarding explanatory variables of perceived landscape values. This study aims to investigate determinants of landscape value as perceived by citizens. The suburban area of Wroclaw, Poland serves as an illustrative case study. Our research design consists of a three-step approach: (i) eliciting citizens’ landscape value types using a Public Participatory GIS survey, (ii) formally assessing indicators of landscape aesthetic quality, (iii) comparing physical environmental characteristics and accessibility for both types of areas with spatial-statistical methods. The survey results (n = 468) include 364 important landscape places attributed to environmental, cultural, aesthetic/scenic or personal reasons. Agricultural landscapes were appreciated highest due to associated perceived environmental and aesthetic values. The expert assessment of landscape aesthetic quality was implemented by GIS-based analyses of naturalness, diversity and uniqueness indicators. It’s results showed that landscape aesthetic quality is distributed mainly across forested areas and river valleys. In general, elicited value types and landscape aesthetic quality indicators illustrated only weak relationships, with the exception of perceived environmental value and landscape naturalness. We conclude that citizens’ perceived landscape values often do not correspond with places identified in expert assessments. Landscape planning and management should therefore consider amending its portfolio of evaluation approaches to better capture values relevant for people.

景观规划研究通常通过景观美学质量的专家评估来考虑景观价值。将此类专家评估与基于公民的方法得出的人们的看法相结合是可取的，但在感知景观价值的解释变量方面存在科学知识差距。本研究旨在调查公民感知的景观价值的决定因素。波兰弗罗茨瓦夫郊区是一个说明性案例研究。我们的研究设计包括三步法：(i) 使用公共参与式 GIS 调查得出公民的景观价值类型，(ii) 正式评估景观美学质量指标，(iii) 比较两种类型的物理环境特征和可达性用空间统计方法的区域。调查结果 (n = 468) 包括 364 个归因于环境、文化、审美/风景或个人原因的重要景观场所。由于相关的感知环境和美学价值，农业景观受到了最高的赞赏。景观美学质量的专家评估是通过基于地理信息系统的自然性、多样性和独特性指标分析来实现的。结果表明，景观美学质量主要分布在林区和河谷地带。一般来说，除了感知环境价值和景观自然性之外，引出的价值类型和景观美学质量指标仅说明了弱关系。我们得出的结论是，公民感知的景观价值通常与专家评估中确定的地点不符。
