The landscape is first an external reality, which is perceived through seeing, listening or smelling. The landscape is divided into elements according to categories which are social constructs: ponds, lakes, brooks, rivers; forests, woods, groves, hedges, meadows, fields, orchards, vineyards, etc.; lots, fences, walls, etc.; cottages, ...

They analyze it, distinguish different elements and develop ideas about their possible uses. For an urban dweller, a rural lanscape is a surface of green colours during Spring and Summer, of yellow, gold and red in Autumn, of brown, grey, black – or white, if there is snow – during Winter time: it offers possibilities for walking, practicing different sports, relaxing. For a farmer, the ...

The models of landscape people build in their minds differ according to cultures: (i) In most traditional societies, people saw their environment ...

These values play a significant role in the dynamics of landscapes. The religious reading of landscapes has important consequences. It is often conducive to the opposition between profane and sacred areas. In the sacred areas, everything has to be respected, since its presence results from the action of supranatural beings or transcendental forces. Hence the total preservation of nature in sacred areas: ...
