DESCRIPTION:The growing demand for energy from renewable sources is usually
  at odds with landscape protection. The use of QGIS capable of processing 
 from a qualitative-quantitative perspective presents itself as a powerful 
 and effective means of analyzing foreseeable impacts and guiding projects 
 to minimize the effects on landscape and territory.\n\nWe will present and
  discuss selected real-world case studies on intervisibility and the visua
 l impact of new renewable energy plants\, using the viewshed analysis plug
 in. We will also examine the configuration of key parameters\, such as obs
 erver height and viewing distance\, the digital terrain model\, and subseq
 uent calculations\, along with insights derived from both the raster outpu
 ts of the plugin and the processing techniques that best represent terrain
  morphology.\n\nWe will examine the different methodological approaches to
  intervisibility analysis for wind farms and photovoltaic plants. The “p
 ure” results derived from these analyses will be compared with actual vi
 sibility conditions on site. To this end\, maps will be produced that acco
 unt not only for terrain morphology but also for vegetation cover and huma
 n visual perception parameters. The analysis will include the calculation 
 of affected pixels and surface areas across visibility categories\, as wel
 l as the definition of visibility (sharpness) bands to support a more cons
 istent interpretation of the results.\n\nThe presentation will also focus 
 on the graphic rendering and subsequent reading of this information\, as w
 ell as on the production of bivariate legend cards for an in-depth study o
 f the impacts of cumulative intervisibility.
