Both urbanization and agricultural operations have an impact on the values and environment of agricultural landscapes.

This study, therefore, aims to evaluate the worth of different agricultural landscapes and apply this assessment to the agricultural landscape of Thailand. By thoroughly examining relevant organizations' documents, research papers, publications, and policies, the agricultural landscape has been established to have multiple dimensions, including both natural and cultural elements.
