The paper investigates land use changes in a rurallandscape with contrasting biophysical potential for agricultural production in western Denmark in a 136 year period (1870-2006). The purpose is to explore links between drivers of landscape change
and observed changes during this period as well as to document the spatial variability of landscape changes. The environmental history of rurallandscape is examined in order to highlight the co-evolution of the land use dynamics and major socio-economic

Slovenia is a country of exceptionally diverse landscapes at the intersection of four major European macroregions: the Alpine, Pannonian, Dinaric, and Mediterranean regions. Terraces, which are a characteristic Mediterranean landscape element, occur
in all landscape types, but they vary in terms of density, purpose, and current function. Terraces, which define the most characteristic terraced landscape, are most common in the Mediterranean environment. - (L'A.).

The paper examines the development of sacred structures in rural Czechia. They could be associated with the creation of important symbols and distinctive rural regional identities. Rural Czechia is not uniform : it represents several different rural

The aim of this article is to point to the possible interface between landscape-ecological planning and programmes supported by the European Community. Priorities and measures embraced by SAPARD (Special Accession Programme for Agriculture and Rural
Development) were used in a landscape-ecological plan applied at the local level. The study area is situated in the Trnavska Pahorkatina Hill land (northern part of the Danubian Lowland), one of the most fertile regions of Slowakia.

In the post-war period, the area of the Sudety Mountains has been subject to two main trends regarding the transformation of the landscape in rural areas. In a first phase, it was possible to observe an abrupt depopulation process
areas, and the result has been disruption of the spatial order. Various actions are today underway with a view to the typical cultural landscape being reinstated and protected, with the rural aspect of the mountain landscape being promoted

In countries of the former Soviet Union the landscape underwent many changes as a result of agricultural collectivisation and its aftermath. This situation has been analysed for six sample rural municipalities (pagasts) in Latvia. All sampled
pagasts had experienced significant landscape change during the Soviet times that replaced the pre-Soviet character with a new ‘ideological landscape’.
Same land cover, same land use at the large scale, different landscapes at the small scale : landscape change in olive plantations on Lesvos Island, Greece : Special section : Landscape change and regional identity
Agricultural landscape change at the small scale is studied to conceptualize the processes that change these landscapes according to the decisions that farmers make. The five-year differences in land cover, land use and landscape at the small scale

The development of nature in extensive parts of the Netherlands appears to be becoming the guiding principle for planning and designing in rural areas. This development can also be a challenge for the improvement of the tourist recreation product
. In this chapter the essential elements of recreational behaviour are transformed into design principles. The sustainibility of the natural landscape can be secured in this way. - (AGD)
