Landscape is the impression given by a place. The five senses
construct five landscapes: there is not only the visual landscape
but also non-visual landscapes such as smell, touch, sound
('sound-scape'), and taste landscapes. The visual landscape is
experienced by most people, while the remaining four non-visual
landscapes mainly construct the non-visual world of the blind. In
their innovative study, Angeliki Koskina and Nikolas Hasanagas
explore this non-visual world on an empirical basis. What
landscapes do blind people prefer? Is the natural or built
environment most attractive for them? How differently do blind
people perceive the 'landscape' compared to sighted people? Which
feelings does the landscape evoke in blind people, and which values
do they attach to these feelings? How satisfied do they feel with
the urban or natural landscapes where they live? Spatial Planning
and Land-scape Design for handicapped people constitute a
much-discussed academic and social issue. Koskina's and Hasanagas'
study in the Anthropology of Senses and in Landscape Sociology can
be used as an aid tool for planners and designers as well as
researchers in various areas such as Architecture, Medicine, Social
Sciences, or Psychology.
