“…In western culture, the term landscape is the subject of several semantic discussions and interpretations. The erratic meanings refer to the terms which are treated by the numerous disciplines that affect the landscape and the aspects that make it up [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Moving horizon was born as a doctoral investigation that moves across research and design dimension. It explores the relationship between landscape design and soil transformation, focusing on the mutual effects and potential disciplinary developments aiming at structurally linking the two fields. Soil is one of the most complex biomaterials on Earth in continuous exchange with the terrestrial systems. The starting assumption is that the soil is a condition of inherent shifting in landscape evolution both in physical and semantic relationship. The value of soil as an element of planning and design lies in handling live and dynamic physical matter. From being ‘background’ for the built environment, the soil transformations become the ‘foreground’ both in landscape design praxis and in theoretical implications, by embedding the soil as a ‘palimpsest’ in reading and writing the landscape. The framework produced by this assessment has been condensed in ten propositions, collected in form of a landscape manifesto. A first application of moving horizon approach has been developed and tested in the Ravenna Climate Change Adaptation Plan (Italy), by identifying a planning procedure capable of integrating territorial adaptation measures to climate change through an approach based on understanding and transforming the soil as a fundamental material of this process.

“…Landscape assessment presents a diversity of approaches and inherent complexity. The concept of landscape assessment includes the "whole" mosaic of land, documenting biodiversity, human land uses, cultural manifestations and subjective human perceptions [1]. The landscape has traditionally been reduced and analyzed into separate parts, for example, ecosystem types, vegetation formations, land cover and land-use types that make up landscape mosaics [2].…”

Within an EU Life project aiming to boost climate change adaptation in Greece, this study develops a transect method for rapid landscape-scale assessment. The procedure applies a holistic assessment of terrestrial landscapes at three spatial scales: a broad cross-section transect zone through the Peloponnese peninsula (240 km long, 1.416.6 km2) and successively the delineation of 35 selected landscape areas and the associated landscape views. Climate change scenarios and relevant indices were incorporated to screen for climate and anthropogenic impacts, including phytoclimatic, erosion and wildfire analyses. The climatic and bioclimatic conditions were examined in three time periods (reference period: 1970–2000 and in the future periods 2031–2060 and 2071–2100). Based on the above framework, the climate change adaptation planning process is reviewed including the Regional Adaptation Action Plan (RAAP) of the Peloponnese Region. The results of this method application effectively assess both the “territorial” and “perceptual” aspects of the selected landscapes; mapping the potential threats, interpreting problems, identifying knowledge gaps and prioritizing vulnerable areas. Analyses show that combined land-use pressures and climatic shifts will cause landscape change, particularly evident in an increase of wildfires, in the near future. Currently, poor conservation measures do not adequately protect landscapes in most areas of the study from expanding anthropogenic pressures (urban sprawl, wetland draining, etc.); these conditions may further aggravate environmental safety concerns during future climate change conditions. The review also documents poor attention to landscape conservation within the current RAAP report. The proposed transect method may assist in promoting landscape appreciation by setting an “enabling framework” for landscape-scale conservation planning during the climate change adaptation process.

“…El concepto paisaje alude a una unidad de terreno dinámicamente modelada por factores tanto socioculturales como biofísicos, el cual es abstraído a través de los distintos canales de percepción sensorial de quienes lo habitan o lo interpretan (Urquijo & Barrera, 2009;Antrop & Eetvelde, 2019;Olwig, 2019). El paisaje es una expresión física y representacional de la relación sociedad-naturaleza, guiada por procesos imaginativos, creativos u emocionales (Cosgrove, 2002;Taylor, 2008).…”

Este trabajo realizamos un análisis descriptivo del desarrollo histórico conceptual del paisaje sonoro. El objetivo es identificar la manera en que se ha construido un campo de estudio alrededor de dicha propuesta. Se desarrolló una búsqueda selectiva de literatura que tuvo como punto de partida textos clave de Murray Schafer y del World Soundscape Project, a partir de los cuales se rastreó su influencia en distintas partes del mundo. Se identificó un periodo de expansión durante la década de 1980, en el cual se conformaron sus dos enfoques principales: el ecológico y el perceptual-cultural. Así mismo, se hizo énfasis en la manera en que fue abordado dicho término desde enfoques culturalistas en geografía y se identificó que a partir de las discusiones hechas surgieron como propuesta las geografías auditivas y del sonido. Finalmente, se realizó una revisión sistemática en índices y buscadores de literatura académica y se encontró un interés latente, durante los últimos tres lustros, por incorporar el sonido como objetivo de estudio a partir de alguna de las posturas mencionadas (paisaje sonoro, geografías auditivas y geografías del sonido), sin embargo, es un tema que continúa en proceso de consolidación.
