Visual pollution is the visible deterioration and negative aesthetic quality of the landscape. Erosion, marine wrack, litter, sewage, and beach driving are affecting the coastal scenery and are generating a visual pollution problem on the Rabigh coastal area, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This work provides the scenic evaluation of 31 coastal sites using the Coastal Scenery Evaluation System (CSES) to determine the current state of this situation and give management inputs. The CSES assesses values from a checklist of 18 physical and 8 human parameters and allows the calculation of a scenic evaluation index (D Value), which classifies coastal sites into five classes: Class I, usually natural areas of top scenic characteristics, to Class V, poor scenic natural areas with a higher impact of human interventions. Along the study area, three sites (9.7 %) appeared in Class II; five (16.1 %) in Class III; 15 (48.4 %) in Class IV, and eight sites (25.8 %) in Class V. Class I sites were not found in the study area. Assessment presented in this work provides a complete overview of the Rabigh coastal scenery and serves as a baseline for implementing management strategies to cope the visual pollution problem.

风景评估作为沿海环境视觉污染测定的工具:沙特阿拉伯王国拉比格海岸线作为研究案例

视觉污染是景观的可见恶化和负面审美品质。侵蚀、海洋残骸、垃圾、污水和海滩驾驶正在影响沿海风光,并在沙特阿拉伯王国拉比格沿海地区造成视觉污染问题。这项工作使用沿海风景评价系统 (CSES) 对 31 个沿海地点进行风景评价,以确定这种情况的现状并提供管理意见。CSES 从包含 18 个物理参数和 8 个人体参数的清单中评估值,并允许计算风景评价指数(D 值),将沿海地区分为五类:I 类,通常是具有顶级风景特征的自然区域,V 类, 人为干预影响较大的风景优美的自然区域。沿着研究区,三个地点(9. 7 %) 出现在 II 类中;5 人 (16.1 %) 在 III 类;15 个(48.4 %)IV 类,8 个站点(25.8 %)V 类。研究区域内未发现 I 类站点。这项工作中提出的评估提供了对拉比格沿海风光的完整概述,并作为实施管理战略以应对视觉污染问题的基准。
