ESTIMATING GENERATION OF CUT SLOPES AND ITS LANDSCAPE IMPACTS IN PRELIMINARY HIGHWAY LOCATION

The landscape impact of the huge and steep cut slope generated by highway construction is so severe as not to be mitigated easily by the planting and grading of it. Therefore it is most important for landscape conservation to estimate the generation of cut slopes and consider the countermeasure in the preliminary highway location. A small scale map drawn on a scale of 1/25,000-1/50,000 is generally used in the preliminary location. This paper presents a method to estimate the frequency of cuts and the position, height and landscape impact of each cut slope in a proposed highway by the use of the plan of the highway drawn on the 1/25,000 topographic map.
