“…Those cultural values that yet remain must be conserved because they represent an important source of historic knowledge (Cano et al, 2013), e.g., Bran Castle, the church and the sheepfolds. Without these historic sites, the new generations cannot learn about the traditions and ways of living of former generations.…”

“…Such a low value may indicate a phenomenon similar to that noted by Elbakidze and Angelstam (2007), who stressed that the historical value of the villages is endangered. Thus, identifying and cataloguing traditional rural buildings in this area could represent a first step for their preservation as part of cultural heritage (Cano et al, 2013).…”

“…Hence, the identification of cultural values and their preservation should be a priority (Van Eetvelde & Antrop, 2009) because they not only represent a past legacy, but can also contribute to sustainable development. Thus, the promotion of cultural values could be a driver for stimulating new economic activity as part of cultural tourism (Cano, Garz on, & S anchez-Soto, 2013). International legal frameworks under UNESCO have outlined countries' responsibilities to protect their cultural heritage (e.g., UNESCO World Heritage Convention, (UNESCO., 1972).…”

“…Connections, such as those between rural settlement and the natural environment, will be difficult to identify and therefore it is unlikely that they will be incorporated into management decisions (Moylan et al, 2009). In terms of methods and technology, two-dimensional (2D) maps and geographic information system databases are commonly used in rural landscape surveying (Appleton et al, 2002;Cano et al, 2013;Norwood, 2009). These professional representations cannot easily be understood by members of the public.…”

Key insightsThe strengths of point cloud technologies can meet the requirements of rural landscape heritage documentation from a cultural landscape perspective. This approach could greatly improve the efficiency and precision of traditional rural landscape documentation, which has the potential to change the methodology of rural landscape research and management.[Correction added on 5th February 2020, after first online publication: The key insight section was included] AbstractOver the past few decades, rural landscapes have been the subject of increasing international cultural heritage research, and one of the most important issues under investigation at both theoretical and pragmatic levels concerns how to identify the spatial character of rural landscapes for conservation purposes. This article establishes an innovative approach adopting a cultural landscape perspective with the support of point cloud technologies to capture spatial patterns of rural landscapes. This approach was explored by reference to Tunpu villages in Guizhou, Chinathese being a specific kind of military fortress settlement. Cultural landscape values and landscape characters of Tunpu villages were identified using historical research and document analysis. Aerial and terrestrial photogrammetry and laser scanning systems were combined to collect and process spatial information at environmental, village, and architectural scales. Point cloud models can quantitatively represent villages' spatial patterns and inform the interpretation of their heritage significance. We conclude that the strengths of point cloud technologies could meet the requirements of rural landscape heritage documentation from a cultural landscape perspective. This mixed-technology approach could also greatly improve the efficiency and precision of traditional rural landscape documentation, which has the potential to change methodologies applied to rural landscape research and management.

“…GIS data can also be used as a way of distilling priorities for management decisions. For example, the Almería Province in Spain utilizes its cultural and heritage inventory data to assess the rehabilitation potential of buildings and has established a priority order for their reuse for a 'decision index' which corresponds to the considerations of each building (Cano, Garzon, & Sanchez-Soto, 2013). This makes each management decision unique to its corresponding heritage structure.…”
