Abstract Landscape resource assessment of compound ecological system is the basic condition for planning various management activities. After field survey and obtaining landscape photos of the Badaling region, we built the evaluation system of landscape resources. Then, we recruited people to evaluate the indicators of different scenic spots with evaluation system and overall evaluation by scenic beauty estimation method (SBE). The results showed that A01 and A05 gave a good impression to tourists from the point of view of scenic spots. Judging from the evaluation indicators, the entire region had a high score in geological landscape, while some of the scenic spots had low scores in humanity landscape. Overall evaluation has better practicability for the area with better landscape. The two evaluation methods are consistent in evaluating good landscape by SBE, through analyzing the main reasons for the differences in evaluation. The results and methodology can benefit landscape resource assessments as well as provide support on planning and management for compound ecological system. Keywords Compound ecological system .

Introduction Today, there are sophisticated means to visualize landscape resource by using photo editing and virtual landscape simulators (Karjalainen and Tyrväinen 2002). Sometimes information about people’s views and interpretations are needed by ecosystem manager. Remarkable aesthetic experience can greatly gain from compound ecological system, for local communities and the tourism industry, which also supply a deepseated environmental and socio-economic resource (Beza 2010). However, these ecological systems are under considerable pressure because of urbanization, agricultural intensification, and tourism activities (Geneletti 2007; Wang and Mountrakis 2011; van Zanten et al. 2016; Hosny et al. 2018). As the material basis for the development of ecosystem

management, landscape resources are the basic conditions for planning various management activities. Now, people pay more attention to the “spiritual value” of natural resources, and it is necessary to change the traditional landscape management and evaluate the value of landscape resource. Many approaches have been used to evaluate landscape resource (Silvennoinena et al. 2001; Mao et al. 2015; Peng and Han 2018). The scenic beauty estimation method (SBE) is widely applied in the psychophysical school. It is introduced here to study various urban ecosystem, forest ecosystem, and river ecosystem (Peng and Han 2018). SBE is gene
