Export citation

In the southern Philippines, the viewscape interpretation method was used to complement household interviews aimed at understanding gender-specific appreciation of landscape functions. The viewscape represents the visual connection of women and men farmers with regard to the spatial arrangement of landscape features, such as ecosystem services (ES) and land use practices which they regard as valuable.
