中文摘要：

视觉美学意义一直都是景观的重要核心价值。从20世纪60年代以来对于景观作为视觉资源的科学性研究，拓展了现代意义上的视觉景观资源管理工作，并逐步发展到世纪之交开始的景观生态价值观主导和以规划与管理为指向的趋势。简要回顾了现代视觉资源管理学科领域的发展过程，指出地理设计自身的过程逻辑原本就与视觉景观资源管理有相当大的共性，并借助独立的视觉景观资源管理的实践案例分析这种共性，这种新的趋势为地理设计介入视觉资源管理过程提供了进一步的融合可能。

英文摘要：

Scenic beauty has always been one of the key values of landscapes. Since the 1960s, visual landscape has been investigated scientifically and thereafter the domain of visual resource management （VRM） has switched to its modern paradigm. Ecological concerns and planning/management applications were starting to dominate VRM discipline from the end of 20th Century. This paper reviews the development of modern VRM domain and points out that this new trend provides more possibility for the integration of Geodesign and VRM based on the similarities between their processes and platforms. A traditional VRM practical case is introduced and interpreted from Geodesign perspective in order to illustrate this hidden relationship.
