Using geographical terminology, it is possible to state that landscape is a manifestation of the geographical environment. However, in looking at the landscape one may in turn interpret what is going on in, and with, the environment. Thus, to learn
something about the landscape it is essential to know something about geographical environment. Such relations exist in reality and they determine the cohesion of geography, as well as the subject of a geographer's research interest. The activities
of the geographer and the architect thus appear complementary. - (BJ)

, the residual influence of a geographic environment is measured by the gap between, on the one hand, the advantages obtained through its development and, on the other, the resources utilized to achieve this development.
