Keywords: engineering slopes, landscape, valuation, landscape integration.

Abstract

the need to create a method that eliminates the subjectivity at the moment of valuing a landscape, is one of environmental topics which is more important in the last years. Environmentalists and engineers have been invested a lot of time on this matter .the purpose that is chased is to extend the traditional concept of creating sure and economic slopes to doing them more integrated in the environment. this technology can help to mitigate Landscape impact, doing the least harmful works at sight and realizing projects of exploitation with integrated Closings to the environment. It makes a comparative between a direct method of landscape valuation and an indirect method based on the evaluations of a series of parameters (physiography, artificial elements, water, vegetation, etc.).
