Urban River Basin Enhancement Methods – Identification of parameters to be monitored for aesthetic assessment - Work Package 4

This deliverable presents the way we looked to aesthetic evaluation of watercourses. In a first step the team begun the structuration stage with the help of an experts panel that gave us a wide perspective of what can influence the aesthetic value of urban watercourses. The obtained framework acted, in a second step, as a reference guide to the choice of parameters that were needed to the aesthetic assessment.
The third step was the study of river-city relationship and their reciprocal influence. A set of parameters to get a basic characterization of river and city was proposed and should be improved in the future.
