appraisive image The meaning invoked by a particular place, usually with regard to its attractions. A distinction is made between an affective, emotional response to an image and an evaluative response, where an objective judgement is made between places. Put more simply, an individual may prefer the scenery of Snowdonia to that of the South Downs because the former is, subjectively, more ‘awe‐inspiring’, or because, objectively, it displays more marked breaks of slope and higher relief.
