Landscape Symbols Auther 3: Reem Hamdan
Wadi Rum also known as the Valley of the Moon, is a valley cut into the sandstone and granite rock in southern Jordan. It has been inhabited by many cultures since prehistoric times including the Nabateans. It is inhabited by the Zalabia Bedouins who, working with climbers and trekkers, have made a success of developing eco-adventure tourism. The area is now one of Jordan's most important tourist attractions including camping under the stars, riding Arab horses, hiking and rock-climbing among the massive rock formations.

Landscape Symbols Author 4 - Martina Anelli
Recently renovated, this square is named Piazza San Francesco and it was built in XIII century thanks to St. Francis of Assisi. In the city center of my hometown, Bologna, unfortunately there aren’t many gardens and parks, but they’re replaced by squares, like this one. Especially during spring and summer, this place is crowded with young people and children seated on the floor or on the benches. During some public holidays, concerts and food stands completely fill the square.
The main symbols of my city are definitely the 40 kilometers of porticoes that cover all the historical center. In medieval age, they were built to increase the areas of the apartment over them, and to create a cover for the shops below. Today they are a protection for the people walking through them from the bad weather or the hot sun of the summer, but also from the car’s roads. There are many shops, cafes, restaurants or galleries from one side, but from the other side it’s possible to see how the urban landscape changes during the walk. Porticoes are a network that give to the walker a sense of continuity, protection and identity.

Landscape Symbols Author 5 - Caroline Fischer
Quite typical as well is fruit growing with meadows below. It's a cultural heritage auf the region, as these areas are too steep and wet for regular farming. You can see plantages in all sizes which are close to the towns and used extensively. Mainly apple trees were planted but also cherry and damson trees. Today it is big challenge to maintain these form of usage as the owners get older in order to preserve the various habitats and the history of the landscape.
