“…Discourses between urban expectations of rural areas and the reality in such areas have been widely recognised, for example, urban people's desire to preserve the countryside ideal instead of promoting improved farming and industrial opportunities (Orland 1988, Bunce 1994, Pollock-Ellwand 2001. Shepard (2002) pointed out that the beauty of farmland is admired not by those who work in it, but by those who live in the city or travel through the countryside.…”

This study explored the public perceptions of mobile telecommunications development - new landscape elements installed to deliver new technology - in a protected area. It examined: (1) the perceived landscape impacts of such development; (2) the importance attached to the socio-economic value of mobile telecommunications; and (3) the factors underlying the perceived landscape impacts of mobile telecommunications development. A postal questionnaire survey was conducted in the Peak District National Park, England with 420 respondents drawn from National Park residents and visitors, urban dwellers and members of environmental organisations. The study suggests that: (1) there was a prevailing antipathy towards the landscape impacts of mobile telecommunications development in the National Park; (2) apart from emergency uses, the other socio-economic benefits of mobile telecommunications technology were thought to be relatively unimportant in the National Park; and (3) rather than socio-demographic characteristics, it was respondents' understandings of protected areas' needs for the technology and potential health risks that had significant effects on the perceived landscape impacts. Overall, this study suggests that the significance of National Park landscapes is respected by the public, even when setalongside the convenience of modern technology, which has substantial implications for landscape planning and management in protected areas.public perception, protected areas, socio-economic value, symbolic attributes, perceived health impacts, National Park residents,

“…Some of the key links were lost for want of regulatory status, expert advice and nancial support. The Canadian environmental planners were negotiating at a distinct disadvantage without the formal adoption of the policies at the local level and with a new provincial government that weakened planning legislation in 1996 (Pollock-Ellwand, 2001). The private developers received higher gross residential density in the New Urbanist plans, but they still resisted the loss of property not designated as hazard lands for ecological restoration.…”

Large-scale Traditional Neighbourhood Development and Pre-emptive Ecosystem Planning: The Markham Experience, 1989-2001

Environmental protection and restoration in 10 suburban community plans are compared to the recommendations of an innovative Natural Features Study (NFS) of Markham, Ontario. The secondary plans will accommodate 150 000 people and are North America's largest concentration of new communities planned with traditional neighbourhood design principles. Their planning and development is an early test of whether New Urbanism can collaborate with pre-emptive ecosystem planning. The results of the comparison indicate that the plans met or exceeded most objectives for environmental protection. The record on environmental restoration is mixed, with several proposed links lost during the design and development process, perhaps because the NFS was not adopted as of cial policy before neighbourhood planning began. It appears that environmental restoration is best approached on a regional basis, with plans and nancial incentives in place before land is subject to development pressure.

“…Μεμονωμένες προσεγγίσεις είτε των κοινωνικών είτε των φυσικών επιστημών κρίνονται ανεπαρκείς (Pollock-Ellwand 2001). Ως αντικείμενο μελέτης το τοπίο εκφράζει την ευαίσθητη σχέση ανθρώπου και φύσης, ενώ ως μέσο έρευνας αναγκαία κρίνεται η ανάπτυξη και προσαρμογή του μεθοδολογικού πλαισίου για τη μέγιστη αξιοποίησή του.…”

The present research focused on cultural landscapes: how do indigenous/local populations exploit their natural resources? How does their cultural identity interact with natural resources' exploitation? How do policies affect local populations and their landscapes?We studied Christian, Muslim (sounni) and Pomak landscapes. Research was based on the following spatial units: ecotopes, landscape units and systems. Ecosystem services were related with these spatial units. Social research found ecosystem services' indicators, as recognized by the landscape users and producers, spatial dimension of conflicts and policies' influence on the landscape.Results show that ecological factors, religious identity, origins, social organization, customs, tradition and policies shape cultural landscapes.Landscape policy aiming at cultural landscapes has to take into account all the above. The first step for a successful landscape policy is to map landscape and define and understand all the factors that shape landscape. Clear targets and strategies, administrative, organizational structures and mechanisms, financial tools and programs are necessary for a successful landscape policy.vii Ευχαριστίες___________________________________________________ iv Περίληψη ____________________________________________________ vi Abstract______________________________________________________ vii Ι.
