Landschaftsokologische Karten für künftige Stadtentwicklung Landscape-ecological maps for future regional planning
The user orientated urban thematic maps serve for inventory surveys of urbanlandscape areas, their evaluation, documentation and for the representation of urban-ecological suggestions concerning planning. Some map designs are iteratively tested
This article examines landscape policies and the inclusion of the landscape level (geomorphology, land cover and coasts/island) in the spatial planning national framework in Greece (Attica, Thessaly, Epirus and the Cyclades). It investigates
the most important processes of change for each type and links these processes with spatial planning policy. The identification of these dynamics sheds light on current and future trajectories of the changes of Greek landscapes, thus providing challenges
for its management in the context of the European Landscape Convention.

Analysis of landscapes designed for shared residential projects created during the period of post-war France (1945–1975). The three cases studies presented—La Butte Rouge, La Maurelette and Les Chatillons—are part of a larger examination of more
than 200 projects realised during this time. The methods include cartographic and textual analyses, on-site verifications, and archival studies. These projects represent a little-known stratum within landscape research. By revealing the landscape

Geographers have begun to consider animals and the urban moral landscape, and assess competing rubrics of planning practice as they relate to animals in the city. Together, these efforts suggest a research agenda for urban geographers interested
in human-animal relations, that may help bridge gaps between human and physical geography, and propel the study of nature-society relations to the fore in urban geography.

supported by them have left little impact on the landscape. A. also discusses the city of Pueblo to the north, the main destination for the coal. - (SLD)
. Most of these farmers are hobby farmers with an urban income who have moved from an urban setting to the rural landscape. As such, these hobby farmers represent a form of urbanisation, usually termed ‘counter-urbanisation’, and they manage the landscape
Agricultural landscape sustainability is affected by combinations of agricultural developments and various forms of urbanisation. This paper analyses how public policy, including spatial planning, has responded over time and affected these two
differently to full-time farmers, while they also affect demand for land and thus price levels. Furthermore, long-term and recent developments in public policy as responses to changing agricultural landscapes are analysed and discussed. With a focus on counter
. The paper proposes a collaborative landscape planning approach to ensure policy integration and to promote agricultural landscape sustainability.

Engineering the Rural Idyll: Road Construction and the Peri-urbanLandscape in Belgium, 1925–1940

. Subsequently, we will examine how other parties—the road association, the construction industry, urban planners and architects—appropriated fragments of landscape to frame or support their own projects.
As in many other Western countries, the road network in Belgium was subject to an extensive modernisation project during the interbellum period. This paper analyses how this project affected the relationship between the road and landscape
. In the absence of a comprehensive landscape project for road construction from the government, other parties played an important role in defining the road's relation to the landscape. Through their publications, images and discourses, an idealised image
of landscape—a rural idyll—became interwoven with the narrative of the modern road. We will first position this Belgian project vis-à-vis other road projects abroad, and describe why landscape was a non-issue for the Belgian government and its engineers

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
. 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.

The paper explores the similarities and differences of the two fields (landscape and environmental history) and the current challenges and opportunities they face. It suggests that they have much to offer each other- especially when dealing
