The main subject of the thesis is planning &ldquo / cultural routes&rdquo / as a method for conservation of cultural and natural heritage areas at regional scale. Defining a framework of conceptual principles which should be considered in spatial planning of cultural routes and regional networks constitutes the major aim of the thesis. Within the scope of the study, a new developing concept recently, cultural routes are discussed as a tool for sustaining historic and local values of rural and archaeological landscapes. In this respect, the study is structured in two main parts. Firstly, conceptual background on the issue is discussed as the development of cultural route concept, definitions declared by international organizations working on the issue and principles of route planning. Secondly, based on the conceptual research, basic concepts and principles for route planning process is discussed through a case study. The case study for the thesis is selected as the Kas- Kekova region in Antalya, known as the Central Lycia in antiquity. Depending on the assessment of region&rsquo / s cultural landscape, the study is resulted by description of a spatial and conceptual framework for planning of a cultural route network in the region. Through areas rich in cultural and natural heritage, planning routes and networks at regional scale could be used as an effective tool for presenting and sustaining multivalent character of the place, and leading economic sectors which have effect on heritage.

Prairie of Mine(s) explores the incorporation of cultural and historical elements within the reclamation of a post-industrial mining landscape in the South Saskatchewan prairie. Reclamation solely by ecological methods often fails to recognize the industrial processes and people that altered the landscape. This project utilizes experiential, cultural, and historical elements within the reclamation of mining lands to shed light on a part of our history that is frequently overlooked and draw attention to actions made on the earth everyday in order for us to live comfortably.

Historische Kulturlandschaftselemente prägen die regionaltypische Vielfalt und Eigenart der Kulturlandschaft. Insbesondere die biotischen Elemente haben als Zeugen oder Relikte traditioneller Landnutzungen eine hohe Bedeutung für die Biodiversität. In dem Bericht werden 16 biotische historische Kulturlandschaftselemente wie Alleen, Extensiväcker, Gruben, Hecken, Hohlwege, Teiche, Streuobstwiesen und Weinberge beschrieben. Dargestellt wird, wie die Elementtypen historisch entstanden sind, welche Ausprägungen historisch typisch sind, welche Funktionen sie früher hatten, ob und wie sich diese Funktionen gewandelt haben, welche Bedeutung sie für den Arten- und Biotopschutz haben und wie sie erhalten, geschützt und gepflegt werden können. Die Beschreibung ergänzt die als Heft 33/2012 in der Schriftenreihe erschienene Studie »Historische Kulturlandschaften Sachsens«.

Tourism has greatly increased world wide in recent decades, especially in China. Nature-dominated Scenic and Historic Interest Areas, representative of the Chinese philosophy of the 'oneness of nature and human beings', are the most popular tourism destinations in China. Tourism impacts in these areas have been receiving the attention of heritage landscape conservation. Management actions have largely been determined with an emphasis on natural values. This thesis maintains that values relating to nature are socially and culturally constructed, and that they dynamically change through history. By investigating the social and cultural structures underpinning values related to nature, a macro-history method has been applied to explore the traditional Chinese View of nature from traditional Chinese philosophies and landscape cultures. An instrumental case study method has been applied to explore the contemporary Chinese values of nature. The relationships between traditional values and contemporary values have been identified. It was found that the traditional Chinese values still have a profound influence today, although many aspects have been distorted. Historic high culture in natural areas has been replaced by mass tourism culture and Western values. The research also found that today's values are more socially and politically contested. It has been revealed that there are deep social, cultural, economic and political roots underlying heritage conservation management actions. Changing and contested values have been interpreted from these perspectives. The values inherent in the Chinese View of nature, such as holistic philosophical perspectives, sophisticated Chinese landscape languages, and evolving living landscapes, have been identified. The contributions of these values to relevant theories of environmental philosophy, cultural landscape, national park tourism and heritage conservation have been identified by this research. The implications for multi-cultural dialogues in heritage landscape conservation have been addressed.

The Svatý Tomáš Highlands and the Trojmezí Highlands in the Šumava foothills were constantly settled during 13th century. Although this area is a borderland with a less favourable climate, agriculture had a significant influence on the landscape changes. However political and economic changes during the 1950´s, especially the establishment of the Iron Curtain, had impacted previous trends. Displacement of inhabitans, destruction of villages and inaccessibility of the area have restored the natural processes. The aim of this work is to describe changes of land use in The Šumava foothills with regard to nature protection and results evaluated by geographic information system technologies. From stable cadastre maps it was detected, that land use in 1st half of 19th century in the Šumava foothills was very varied, it was there existed a lot of small fields of arable soil. However the surface of arable soil diminished gradually during the time and at the present time don´t exist any more in the study area. In monitored areas in the first place grew the share of forests. The changes of management also had an impact on the size of succession areas. It was found, that changes in land use are very similar in the all monitored regions.

The City of Areia is one of the newest urban sites to receive the title of National Heritage, with its tumbling approved in 2006, due to its historical, architectural, urban and landscape importance. If distinguished primarily by their location and urban expansion following the ridge of the Serra Borborema. However, the favored asset protection only to safeguard the urban core, with the landscape denying the "frame" of the city. However, what is perceived by reviewing the history of the city is the landscape, formed mainly by their rural area, especially the mills of cachaça and rapadura , sets up a cultural heritage as or more important than the urban. The growth and development of the city have been based on agriculture, and through different economic periods throughout its history: cotton, sugar cane, coffee, agave and cattle breeding, but out of all these crops, the sugar cane has behaved like that intermittent, never totally abandoned. Thus, were the engines of cachaça and rapadura which outlined its growth, influencing directly the social, economic, urban and cultural Areia, and strengthening its tradition as producing city of cachaça and rapadura . The set of different forms of assets that comprise the landscape of the mills - the architecture, environmental characteristics, the intangible heritage - assisted in the configuration and transformation of the landscape of the city, and urban and cultural characteristics. All these issues lead to reflect on the importance of the mills to the history and culture of the city and the need to promote their safeguarding, while important documents in preserving the cultural identity of Areia. / Esta dissertação visa investigar a importância do município de Areia, na Paraíba, enquanto uma paisagem cultural formada pela junção de seu meio urbano e rural. A cidade de Areia é um dos mais recentes sítios urbanos a receber a alcunha de Patrimônio Histórico Nacional, tendo seu tombamento homologado no ano de 2006, devido a sua importância histórica, arquitetônica, urbanística e paisagística. Se distinguindo, principalmente, por sua implantação urbana e expansão acompanhando o cume da Serra da Borborema. Porém, a proteção patrimonial privilegiou apenas a salvaguarda do núcleo urbano, sendo a paisagem renegada a moldura da cidade. No entanto, o que se percebe revendo a história do município é que a paisagem, formada principalmente por sua área rural, sobretudo os engenhos de cachaça e rapadura, configura um patrimônio cultural tão ou mais importante que o urbano. O crescimento e desenvolvimento do município têm se baseado na agricultura, e atravessou diversos períodos econômicos ao longo de sua história: algodão, cana-de-açúcar, café, agave e pecuária, mas, dentre todas essas culturas, a cana-de-açúcar tem se comportado como aquela intermitente, que nunca foi totalmente abandonada. Assim sendo, foram os engenhos de cachaça e rapadura que delinearam seu crescimento, influenciando diretamente os aspectos sociais, econômicos, urbanos e culturais de Areia, e reforçando sua tradição como município produtor de cachaça e rapadura. O conjunto de formas diferentes de patrimônio que compõe a paisagem dos engenhos a arquitetura, as características ambientais, o patrimônio imaterial auxiliaram na formação e transformação da paisagem do município, e em suas características urbanas e culturais. Todas essas questões levam a refletir sobre a importância dos engenhos para a história e a cultura do município e a necessidade de se promover a salvaguarda destes, enquanto documentos importantes na preservação da identidade cultural de Areia.

The present research aimed to analyze the resignification of the cultural landscapes of the drylands of Alagoas in a context of regional development through the iconographic representation, which permits to make visible the changes present in the environment, as well as the “permanences” that are responsible for maintaining a collective memory of the drought problems. The representations that helped to consolidate the images which are commonly related to the drylands (or “sertão”) of the semiarid and transported to the Northeast region as a whole —whether in the academic sphere, or through cultural works and the mass media—were related to poverty, drought and drought landscapes representations, consolidated, in the imaginary of people in a generalized way, as "hunger and misery" CASTRO, (1992, 1996, 1997); RIBEIRO, (1999); SILVA (2010). The Drylands of Alagoas, as well as the Northeast region, has been presenting, in recent years, a new configuration, allowing the development of the region and changes in its socioeconomic panorama. New landscapes have emerged with the transformation, presenting different culture and ways of living in relation to the imaginary created of the drylands. This study had support in the cultural geography with phenomenological base. Documentary researches and field work were done through iconographic records and interviews. To that end, we back up the studies of Durval Muniz (2011) and Geralda de Almeida (2003), who discuss the construction of the Northeastern imaginary through tragic bias, through drought, hunger and misery. Regarding the relationship between Phenomenology and Geography, the interaction between landscape and the concept of culture were based on the theoretical contributions of the French School: Augustin Berque (1994) and Paul Claval (1997); and it was also made an investigation on the constitution of the geographic science and the use of image, according to Gomes (2002, 2013) and Oliveira Jr. (2013), who discuss the visibility of the images. The analysis of the data was supported by a qualitative and bibliographic analysis of the landscape and its iconographic representations, in which both the transformations that occurred in the Drylands of Alagoas and its impacts on landscape representation were examined. The insertion of structural policies and family farming, the organization of civil society in cooperatives and the actions of coexistence provided a new way of facing life in the drylands. At the same time, new alternatives for the development of the semiarid are being planned, making the idea of coexistence emerge. / FAPEAL - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Alagoas / A presente pesquisa buscou analisar a ressignificação das paisagens culturais do sertão alagoano num contexto de desenvolvimento regional através da representação iconográfica, capaz de visibilizar as mudanças presentes no ambiente, assim como, as permanências que são responsáveis em manter uma memória coletiva das mazelas da seca. As representações que ajudaram a consolidar imagens, comumente relacionadas com o sertão semiárido e transportadas para a região Nordeste como um todo, pois, seja no âmbito acadêmico, seja através de obras culturais e pelos meios de comunicação de massa a sua paisagem foram relacionadas à pobreza, a seca e paisagens de estiagens representações essas consolidadas no imaginário das pessoas de forma generalizada de “fome e miséria” CASTRO, (1992; 1996; 1997); RIBEIRO, (1999); SILVA, (2010). O Sertão Alagoano, assim como a região Nordeste, vem apresentando nos últimos anos uma nova configuração, permitindo o desenvolvimento da região e de mudanças no seu panorama socioeconômico, novas paisagens surgiram com a transformação, apresentando cultura e modo de vida diferente do imaginário criado em relação ao Sertão. Este estudo teve respaldo no apoio e saber da geografia cultural de base fenomenológica, foram feitas pesquisas documentais e trabalho de campo através de registros iconográficos e entrevistas. Para tanto nos respaldamos nos estudos de Durval Muniz (2011) Geralda de Almeida (2003), que discutem a construção do imaginário nordestino através de viés trágico, relacionado com a seca, a fome e a miséria. Sobre a relação da fenomenologia com a Geografia, a interação entre a paisagem e o conceito de cultura com base nos aportes teóricos da escola francesa, Augustin Berque (1994) e Paul Claval (1997), também uma investigação sobre a constituição da ciência geográfica e o uso da imagem, de acordo com Gomes (2002, 2013) e Oliveira Jr. (2013) que abordam uma discussão da visibilidade das imagens. A análise dos dados se respaldou em análise bibliográfica qualitativa sobre a paisagem e suas representações e iconográfica, em que foram analisadas as transformações ocorridas no Sertão Alagoano e seus impactos na representação da paisagem. A inserção de políticas públicas estruturais e para agricultura familiar, organização da sociedade civil em cooperativas e ações de convivência proporcionaram um novo modo de encarar a vida no sertão, e começam a serem construídas novas alternativas para o desenvolvimento do Semiárido, surgindo a representação de uma paisagem marcada pela ideia de convivência.

The central idea of this project named “My way home” (the project’s name was inspired by Karel Václav Rais’s poem of the same name) is the work with the memory of a landscape. The project concerns a 700-metre-long area which is part of what used to be a road near Stráž nad Nežárkou. First of all, I try to return the road its original purpose. Also, I try to find out its historic foundation. Finally, I try to return the road its integrity. The road used to go from the village of Dvorce to the now cancelled Gabler’s mill (house number 98) in Stráž nad Nežárkou. The Diploma also includes an observation of the changes of the landscape near the village. The Diploma itself consists of three phases: The road, apple trees, The object.
