“…Nevertheless, this may be sufficient for the maintenance of specific landscapes, i.e., some alpine pastures linked to cheese and butter production, but also enforces the ongoing discussion, both in the research and policy arena, on who is the public of a specific landscape and on how to balance preferences from different groups (outsiders and insiders) in the formulation of landscape policies and management (Junge et al, 2011;Nijnik et al, 2009;Loupa-Ramos, 2011).…”

“…Moreover, trends in driving forces such as intensification, specialization and risk of land abandonment that are indeed affecting landscape changes are already taken into consideration by other indicators in the agri-environmental framework. While pursuing this intent, though, it should nevertheless be kept in mind that aesthetic values themselves cannot be dissociated from the specific interest of observers toward the landscape (Nijnik et al, 2009;CarvalhoRibeiro et al, 2013a;Surova and Pinto-Correia, 2008;Wylie, 2007).…”

Abstract:Landscape is defined by the European Landscape Convention as "an area perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors".Many efforts have been devoted in addressing the core concepts on which this definition roots: perception and interaction of men and nature, but when coming to large (continental) scale assessments, the latter prevail on the former. This paper aims at presenting a framework for a measurable landscape awareness indicator as a key link to the public demand for a specific type of landscape: the agricultural landscape. This is a necessary effort to complement more physically based assessments, which include as well the impact of human activities on landscapes.The analysis is carried out at different levels of governance: EU and regional, using an example from the Alentejo region in Portugal and EU wide databases, and addresses conceptual and practical questions: what type of societal landscape awareness can be monitored and by whom (e.g., individuals, specific social groups, society as a whole); what are the landscape dimensions that should be assessed; what are the limitations imposed by data-related constraints. By applying the methodology to build composite indicators to map landscape societal awareness, the paper shows the regional and local meaning of indicator approaches developed at European level, presents developments for downscaling to regional level, while introducing the social component to support sound policy development for European rural landscapes.

“…(Uriarte et al, 2010). Yet, we need to have "strictly managed landscapes" in the tropics (Tabarelli, 2010), while "Certain aspects of land use changes are unfavorably viewed by some people and favorably received by others" (Nijnik et al, 2009).…”
