Effects of depopulation, farm family income and changes in agricultural practices, etc. have resulted in the abandonment or destruction of traditional mountainous landscapes. An image-based stated choice survey was applied to explore the effects
of various landscape change processes on the preferences of a mostly urban sample (N = 410). The 128 digitally generated landscape scenarios represented various kinds and intensities of agricultural and tourism use of a historic terraced area in Austria
. Latent class segmentations identified four segments, with different preferences for natural, managerial and social landscape features. While a preference for a more complex, mysterious and natural landscape was found for three segments, one segment
preferred more open landscapes. The results indicate that landscape change can affect humans in different ways, and that evolutionary and cultural preference theories are useful in explaining landscape preferences.

Landscape Degradation Assessment (LDA) of rural areas can play a crucial role in landscape planning. Japan lacks quantitative and cumulative Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) methodologies, especially in the area of LDA. Although a decision
for rurallandscape planning, increase the scale of the assessment of project size to a more strategic local level, and enhance effective communication with decision-makers, a new EIA procedure is proposed with the development of a Landscape Degradation
Model (LDM) for rural areas in Japan. The procedure is based on the equation, LD=Σ kI/V, where LD represents the degradation coefficient of the landscape compartments, Σ kI represents the cumulative impact of human activities, and V quantifies
the vulnerability of a habitat. The value of LD provides a means for supporting decisions aimed at the quantitative prioritisation of working units and developing respective conservation plans. This methodology is a holistic approach to rurallandscape reclamation

The main purpose is to show the method of agricultural landscape evaluation and possibilities for future development as well as the protection of outstanding agricultural landscapes, based on a case study in island of Krk, Croatia. Possible
structural changes of those landscapes are considered and a proposal for the strategy of the preservation of valuable landscape heritage on Krk is formulated. For field landscapes the preservation is possible through the modernization of agricultural

Studies of landscape aesthetics indicate that farmers have a unique perspective (seeing beauty) in the same landscapes that other publics find monotonous and boring. The paper uses Bourdieu’s theory of capital to explore why farmers hold
this perspective. Interpretations farmers place on tidy features such as straight lines and evenly coloured fields are explored through a cross-cultural study between Germany and Scotland. Results show how farmers read agricultural landscapes for signs of skilled

The paper deals with landscape in relation to the production of place and of social identities perceived as local. It offers an interpretation of why residents in a village in Alentejo perceive landscape change the way they do. Residents mobilize
landscape as a symbolic resource when facing changes in land-use that question established farming practices as the best use for the land.

Cultural landscape is currently being rediscovered as a regional potential. To examine the problems and opportunities of landscape change elements of an institutional theory of cultural landscape will be outlined. Following than, two documents

The purpose of the paper is to determine whether dispersed historic settlement can accommodate sustainable rural communities. While the main focus is on rural planning policies in England, there are references to sustainable development policies
in areas of dispersed settlement in selected European countries. Prospects for enhancing rural planning policies in the UK are explored and a framework is outlined for identifying criteria for sustainable rural communities.

The article describes the landscape planning possibilities for changing of rural zone functions on an example from a problem area in the district of Kaliningrad. During the field season of 2003 the group of landscape-ecological planning of Faculty
of Geography and Geoecology, Kaliningrad State University, accomplished the first stage of research - the geomorphological and landscape mapping of Slavsk area (scale 1:50 000), and the tourist map of the area was prepared (scale 1:100 000). On the basis

In this investigation a multi-criteria valuation model for the evaluation of landscapes, a multi-objective linear programming model for optimizing the landscape use, and a model to analyse the trade-offs between ecological and economic objectives
are applied and combined. The data basis results from inquiries and investigations in eight small landscapes which are analysed within the framework of the Sonderforschungsbereich 'Umweltgerechte Nutzung von Agrarlandschaften' at Hohenheim University. - (L'A.).

Gestaltung wassergefüllter Solle in der Agrarlandschaft. (Formation of water-filled kettle holes in the rurallandscape)
On the basis of field investigations at water-filled hollow moulds (kettle holes) in Ostbrandenburg the density of this landscape element, the function and the efficiency in the rurallandscape were analysed. The focus of this investigation lies
in the integration of the kettle holes in the management of the rurallandscape concerning ecological aspects which hall be low in costs and expenditure. (HL).
