“…22 The mechanisation of production and the agricultural policies conducted from the mid-1960s by the then Minister of Agriculture, Edgard Pisani, increased the size of agricultural fields and led to the removal of trees and plants, remodelling the landscape as a result. 23 This change in the French agricultural model impacted the territories' paths, and voices were raised to protect a heritage endangered by the effect of land reparcelling. At the same time, observers and political officials condemned the deteriorating rural living conditions, with social relegation, remoteness and increased poverty being the main stigmas denounced.…”

“…More than just a mere location, paths became a channel for political engagement, as well as a potential influence on lifestyles that were torn between modernity and tradition. 17 We will endeavour to define Brittany's 'sense of place', 18 focusing on the changing relationships between city and country through the rediscovery of the region's paths. The aim will be to examine the role of the latter in the transformation of Brittany's social, economic and territorial values, via the enhancement of heritage, in particular.…”

This study looks at the role of hiking in the development and the identity of a French region. Both rural and agricultural, Brittany saw a reorganisation of its territory during the 1970s, partly due to activities such as hiking. By becoming a political focus, the activity contributed to making paths, only previously used for field labour, a tool for territorial development. It also rejuvenated Brittany’s regional identity as it explored a forgotten heritage. The course of action adopted aimed to bring new populations, particularly urban ones, to rural areas. Behind the attention focused on paths, as an essential requirement for hiking, lay a concern for environmental and social sustainability with effects on lifestyles, tourism, and the shaping of a region in transition.

“…Both frameworks often advocate for policies that will lead to the restoration of either natural or heritage even when strict “conservation” may not be the most appropriate goal to manage change in the landscape (Macdonald and King, 2018). That conundrum for landscape planning is being brought into focus by the new levels of risk in peri-urban areas, as decision-makers are effectively being asked what degree of transformation can be considered acceptable in order to maintain aesthetic, cultural and ecological values (Le Dû-Blayo, 2011; Rotherham, 2015).…”

“…The principles effectively encapsulate the current state of the research on biocultural diversity that encompasses both the natural and social sciences and integrate tangible and intangible manifestations in the landscape (Table 1). This points to an operational approach for further research, promoting the combined exploration of natural and cultural dimensions of the landscape to guide local sustainable development and generate important environmental lessons for planned forms of resilience (Le Dû-Blayo, 2011; Palazzo, 2013). In particular, the principles identify key attributes of the biocultural landscape that frame the nature-culture connection within both disciplinary and traditional knowledge systems.…”

PurposeThis paper investigates the adaptive capacity expressed by an agricultural region in response to changing conditions as a mean to address the future of cultural landscapes in a time of extreme uncertainty. Through the conceptual framework of biocultural diversity, the work assesses regimes shifts and persistence as a dialectic between natural and anthropogenic components of the landscape.Design/methodology/approachSpecifically, the mechanisms of progressive landscape adaptation are explored by using an integrated method to align manifestations of biological and cultural diversity. Through a multidimensional approach applied to spatial analysis, the study determines a relationship between the footprint of past and modern landscape regimes and contemporary rural management practices in McLaren Vale, South Australia.FindingsThe biological and cultural diversity patterns along riparian corridors, or “biocultural corridors” are indicators of past and current adaptive capacity, which are able to convey novel trajectories of sustainable management in the landscape system.Originality/valueUnderstanding the positive feedback loops between nature and human interactions as represented by their interrelationships in the landscape can inform planning decisions for sustainable agricultural development and enable effective regional long-term trajectories of resilience.

“…For traditional landscapes to become part of not only the European past, but also of its future, systems of sustainable management that accept landscape change as an inherent part of its character should be developed [43,44]. We would emphasize four points:…”

At the 2018 meeting of the Permanent European Conference for the Study of the Rural Landscape (PECSRL), that took place in Clermont-Ferrand and Mende in France, the Institute for Research on European Agricultural Landscapes e.V. (EUCALAND) Network organized a session on traditional landscapes. Presentations included in the session discussed the concept of traditional, mostly agricultural, landscapes, their ambiguous nature and connections to contemporary landscape research and practice. Particular attention was given to the connection between traditional landscapes and regional identity, landscape transformation, landscape management, and heritage. A prominent position in the discussions was occupied by the question about the future of traditional or historical landscapes and their potential to trigger regional development. Traditional landscapes are often believed to be rather stable and slowly developing, of premodern origin, and showing unique examples of historical continuity of local landscape forms as well as practices. Although every country has its own traditional landscapes, globally seen, they are considered as being rare; at least in Europe, also as a consequence of uniforming CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) policies over the last five decades. Although such a notion of traditional landscapes may be criticized from different perspectives, the growing number of bottom-up led awareness-raising campaigns and the renaissance of traditional festivities and activities underline that the idea of traditional landscapes still contributes to the formation of present identities. The strongest argument of the growing sector of self-marketing and the increasing demand for high value, regional food is the connection to the land itself: while particular regions and communities are promoting their products and heritages. In this sense, traditional landscapes may be viewed as constructed or invented, their present recognition being a result of particular perceptions and interpretations of local environments and their pasts. Nevertheless, traditional landscapes thus also serve as a facilitator of particular social, cultural, economic, and political intentions and debates. Reflecting on the session content, four aspects should be emphasized. The need for: dynamic landscape histories; participatory approach to landscape management; socioeconomically and ecologically self-sustaining landscapes; planners as intermediaries between development and preservation.
