Correction: Shen et al. Quantifying Sustainability and Landscape Performance: A Smart Devices Assisted Alternative Framework. Sustainability 2023, 15, 13239

The authors would like to make the following corrections to the published paper [1]. The changes are as follows:

(1)

Replacing the following sentence in “Section 1 Introduction” on page 2:

It can be defined as the measure of inaccurate data and insufficient effectiveness of landscape solutions in achieving their intended purposes and promoting sustainable development.

• with

It can be defined as “a measure of the effectiveness with which landscape solutions fulfill their intended purpose and contribute to sustainability” [9].

(2)

Replacing the following sentence in “Section 3.1. Case Study Investigation” on page 3:

In addition, all metrics and techniques utilized in the 58 projects that were featured in Landscape magazine between 2013 and 2014 were coded and examined [18].

• with

In addition, all metrics and techniques utilized in the 58 projects that were featured in LPS between 2013 and 2014 were coded and examined [18].

Replacing the following reference:

9.

Landscape Performance Series. 2023. Available online: https://www.landscapeperformance.org/benefits-toolkit (accessed on 7 July 2023).

As the source of reference [9] has changed, the authors wish to add an explanation along with a reference in “Section 4.1. Gaps in LPS Online Tools”.

We would like to replace the original version:

The LPS website presents 32 open-source performance assessment tools that integrate online calculators for landscape performance estimation. Practitioners and researchers can utilize these tools to calculate the performance value. These tools could assist researchers in estimating the landscape benefits of completed projects when actual measurement results are unavailable. Alternatively, during the design stage, they can be used to compare the anticipated benefits of various design options [9].
