Perceptions of the rural-urban fringe: citizen preferences for natural and developed settings

In this study, 510 farmers, township planning commissioners, and other citizens living in Washtenaw County, Michigan, provided preference ratings for 32 pictures taken at the rural-urban fringe. They preferred settings including both farm and forest. Participants also preferred housing developments with mature trees over developments with few trees, and preferred settings with single family housing over those with multiple family housing.
