“…This would allow for more engagement and interaction within our surrounding environment. It would generate new observations of how landscapes are conceived, as well as allow people to have insight when perceiving movement, form and memory found in landscapes (Birksted, 2000). Hume (2009) stresses that "Cultural planning is about place and placemaking.…”

Cities are never static; they are ever-evolving organisms requiring constant adaptation in an effort to function for the changing and increasingly diverse populations. One of the main issues with past planning practices in the development of social housing in Ontario is the lack of integrative strategies used to build neighbourhoods. Defining what successful integration entails is an important aspect of the creation of successful communities. The purpose of this study is to understand the elements necessary for creating integrative public space for Lawrence Heights; a community located in Toronto that will undergo an extensive revitalization process over the next twenty years. To determine the results, personal observations of the neighbourhood were conducted in a few ways: by taking photographs and notes of activities being enjoyed in the area, by attending a public meeting to comprehend the proposed plan for the redevelopment, and by participating in a workshop to understand the opinions of residents who will be affected by change in the neighbourhood. Integrative public space should include programs, facilities and multi-use, flexible aspects that cater to a variety of people, and can be easily accessed by users. Public space is only one component of integration, but is a very important one to comprehend in the practice of planning.

“…Así, el observador que ve un paisaje por primera vez lo hace con más atención porque los elementos que observa le resultan visualmente nuevos, atraen su atención y le crean expectativas 84 . Este fenómeno se debe al proceso perceptivo de referencia de las particularidades del paisaje, las cuales se hacen "invisibles" para los habitantes del lugar, pues estos no necesitan elementos de referencia para ubicarse y orientarse, al contrario de lo que ocurre con quien llega por primera vez.…”

“…Estos elementos pueden, del mismo modo, influir directamente sobre la comodidad física del observador: la lluvia dificulta la circulación, y la exposición demorada al sol puede molestar al observador, cambiando la apreciación que el individuo hace del entorno. También ciertos aspectos del paisaje, como la posición frontal del sol que puede importunar la mirada y la fuerza del viento que puede desequilibrar el observador, alteran las condiciones de percepción y valoración del 84 Para un enfoque particular sobre la actitud del turista véase ; The visual elements of landscape, p. 11. 85 Boulding (1969); The image, p. 3-18.…”

Los diferentes enfoques permiten considerar los elementos visuales determinantes del paisaje desde dos perspectivas diferentes: una que integra los componentes intrínsecos a la configuración del territorio visual y otra que se refiere a las variables que determinan la percepción del paisaje y su apreciación. En este trabajo se identifica y caracteriza, con base en su origen o estado físico, cada uno de los grupos de componentes y variables. El resultado permite construir un modelo que encuadra y relaciona los diferentes grupos de Elementos Visuales Determinantes del Paisaje.DescriptoresPaisaje / Elementos del paisaje / Elementos visuales / Análisis del paisaje / Evaluación del paisajeAbstractThe definition of a list of elements that determine the visual quality of the landscape is presented as a basic tool to deepen the knowledge of the territory and justify interventions in the environment. The different approaches can considered the determining visual landscape elements from two different perspectives: one that integrates the intrinsic configuration components of the visual territory and another that relates to the variables that determine the perception of the landscape and its assessment. This article identifies and characterized, based on their origin or physical state, each of the groups components and variables.
