“…The latter can be exemplified by both conceptual models (e.g. Stobbelaar and Pedroli, 2011) and case studies (e.g. Bessiere, 1998;Fritz-Vietta, La Vega-Leinert and StollKleemann, 2015;Oreszczyn and Lane, 2000).…”

Regional identity is the shared sense of regional 'one-ness', distinctiveness and difference. However, it is an undervalued factor to promote development in lagging rural areas and little is known about methods to reveal its content. This paper aims to develop and apply a method to explore regional identity in rural areas. We argue that the most important cultural markers -understood as rural landscapes and heritage features, perceived as regional identity reference points -can be analyzed and used to characterize regional identity. To this end, a case study was undertaken in two rural areas in northern Germany. We conducted 55 semi-structured interviews and determined cultural markers, using a new procedure with different analysis stages (identification, collectivity, historical depth, relationships). Results revealed a broad spectrum of cultural markers exhibiting collective significance with respect to landscape, built structures, history, intangible heritage and land-use. Next to traditional cultural markers, we found modern ones, introduced after the Second World War. Partially, traditional and modern cultural markers were perceived as related. Based on this knowledge, a first characterization of both regional identities was conducted, showing differences between our study areas. While one regional identity appears to be fragmented, conflicting and influenced by modern cultural markers, the other was characterized as coherent and rooted in traditional cultural markers. However, the integration of these characterizations into further planning steps remains challenging and needs additional, regionally adapted methods. A key finding of the study is that there is no single standard method for linking regional identity and rural planning.

“…It refers to the distinctiveness of uniqueness of a place which is a result of the interaction between its physical features and its users. For instance Stobbelaar and Pedroli (2011) use the term "landscape identity" and they point out that the concept lacks clarity and not well-defined [25]. They define landscape identity as the perceived uniqueness of a place.…”

“…Intensification or extensification processes affect landscape identity but also landscape character and biodiversity (Stanners and Bourdeau 1995;Stobbelaar and Pedroli 2011). Tscharntke et al (2005) observe that biodiversity declines in already intensively used agro-ecosystems due to further intensification and technological innovations.…”

“…The intensification or extensification processes Vos and Klijn 2000) affect entire landscapes, landscape identities, landscape characters and biodiversity (Stanners and Bourdeau 1995;Stobbelaar and Pedroli 2011). Agricultural-and forestry expansion often compromise biodiversity, and lead to encroachment of natural areas (Brussaard et al 2010;Sayer et al 2013).…”

“…The diverse impacts of these landscape changes have been described by many authors, such as changes in landscape identity and landscape quality (Antrop et al 2013 ;Stobbelaar and Pedroli 2011), biodiversity and connectivity (Cormont et al 2016;EEA 2015;Rüter et al 2014). Furthermore the impacts of landscape changes manifests themselves in a changed composition of the associated landscape services (e.g.…”
