“…Research comprising whole regions has been carried out [9][10]. Furthermore, metropolitan areas [11][12] as well as geographical regions [13][14] have been studied. For smaller areas of research, studies in protected areas [15], forested areas [16], periurban areas [17], areas of mining deposits [18], or river valleys [19] have been undertaken.…”

“…This diversity, however, might be seen as an expression of a vibrant field that includes diverging epistemological interests, approaches, scales, and fundamental research interests within land change science and landscape research. This opens the field to a wide diversity of studies that relate in one way or another to the concept of driving forces (Eiter and Potthoff 2016).…”

“…Commonly, the more weight that is put on single actors' decisions, the smaller the scale of study will have to be, as larger scale studies inevitably have to include more diverse actors, who are assessed and integrated adequately (Verburg 2014). Relations between the study scale, the approaches chosen, and the role of quantification, data availability, and upscaling therein have recently been discussed by Eiter and Potthoff (2016). We use these four conceptual models in a spatial context, referred to as landscape, link them with specific research approaches, and then illustrate their application in a Mediterranean landscape.…”

The underlying drivers or causes of landscape changes have been investigated by many different approaches, which has resulted in a diversity of terminologies (Meyfroidt 2015, Van Vliet et al 2015a, 2015b, Eiter and Potthoff 2016, Plieninger et al 2016). …”

ABSTRACT. Landscape change and its drivers have been the focus of a growing body of literature in the past years. Our objective is to present different approaches to studying and understanding landscape change. We sketch the way in which different approaches and existing conceptual models are related to spatial scales and epistemological aims, and discuss complementarity and a range of applications with five specific research approaches from a Mediterranean landscape, including approaches at national and European levels. These include an analysis of historical landscape change, an investigation of decision-making processes, public awareness raising, evaluation of landscape services, and provision of policy support with data from published and unpublished material. The findings indicate that on the issue of complementarity, some models work better together with others. A major difference observed is the role that conceptual models and related approaches provide to the "voice" of stakeholders and actors of landscape change, sometimes contradicting, but often complementary. An important issue that comes up is a need for a plurality of research approaches and underlying conceptualizations of human-environment interactions, as the approaches represent different lenses for looking at the humanenvironmental system that are all abstractions from the full complexity of how decision-making on land use is conducted.

“…population growth, urbanisation, level of accessibility, calamitous events, economic factors, technological development, as well as changing cultural values (Antrop, 2005;Eiter & Potthoff, 2016;Plieninger et al, 2016). The publication of the Dobris assessment of 1995, documenting the state of landscape changes across the continent, acted as a wake-up call for politicians and planners throughout Europe (Stanners & Bourdeau, 1995).…”

Changing landscape identity—practice, plurality, and power

Through this special issue, we aim to contribute to the conceptualisation of landscape identity in the context of landscape change. Interest in landscape identity has been growing over the past decade, paralleled by a heightened understanding of landscape change. The papers presented in this special issue provide a diversity of empirical studies and theoretical reflections. They also provide a broad geographical coverage, from Japan to Portugal; a diversity of scales, dealing with local and global issues; and a broad spectrum of methodological approaches from quantitative questionnaires to studies of discourses in literature. The special issue came about through a session on landscape change and landscape identity held at the Permanent European Conference on the Study of Rural Landscapes (PECSRL) in Innsbruck 2016, which in turn built on a similar session from PECSRL 2014 in Gothenburg. The special issue starts with a paper by Kati Lindström where she addresses the UNESCO listing of Mount Fuji, as an example of intangible landscape change, to discuss the multiple and diverse ways in which identity of the landscape is formed, reformed, and transformed by local, regional, and global agendas. Piret Pungas-Khov and Ene-Reet Soovik also address the intangible, presenting a study of literature on Mires in Estonia, where text acts as a driver for changing, and a lens for addressing, identity developed through the transforming discourses. Butler et al., in their quantitative study, focus on the dramatic change brought about through a forest fire in Sweden and how this has impacted on the landscape identity and its relationship to activities undertaken in the landscape. The paper also addresses how a landscape's change affects how people engage and how activities act as anchors for identity. More tangible landscape changes are also taken up by Isabel Loupa Ramos et al. Using a multi-method approach, they question how changes to physical elements in the landscape, which function as anchors for identity, are fundamental for understanding connections to the landscape. In the final paper, Joanna Storie and Mart Külvik reveal the interplay between landscape and community identity and how both develop through participatory processes in the village of Kaldabruņa in Latvia. The contributions provide an insight into the diversity of landscape identity studies, empirically as well as methodologically, in relation to changing landscapes. In this editorial, we set out a frame for the subsequent papers, examining the perceived duality between the landscape's physical identification and its role as a medium for developing individual and social identity. First, we touch on the two pillars of the special issue-landscape change and landscape identity-before delving deeper into an understanding of what landscape identity means in relation to transformation. The dialogue with theory is supplemented with an overview of the articles presented in this special issue in relation to potential directions for future theoretical consideration. Chang...
