Concepts and definitions

Fardokht Hadjisalimi:[1]

  • Concept 1: Concepts of human-centered landscape
    • People’s mental landscape constructs relate to (a) General knowledge, (b) Special knowledge. Since perception is culturally contextualized, landscape is a “cultural phenomenon: (a) Sensual responses to landscape, (b) The way people attach meaning and value to it (Bruns, Bartolomei, 2016). (A theoretical model is attached in the linked file)


  • Concept 2: Areas that people perceive as landscape
    • The landscape is people’s perception of their surroundings, a kind of nostalgia that can be detected. Our perceptions are socially and culturally contextualized, including memory. Landscape’s meanings can be interpreted by our minds and it can be perceived and appreciated differently by insiders and outsiders (Bruns, Bartolomei, 2016).


  • Concept 3: Value people give to in areas of their surroundings
    • According to constructive theory, we have four layers model about what people give value to in their surroundings (Bruns, Bartolomei, 2016):

1.Physical features and processes of nature and human made artifacts 2.Things that people take note of in areas of surrounding 3.Values that are shared among members of groups, learn from so called “significant others” 4.Individual landscape experience, values and emotions (A brief model and examples are attached in the shared link)

Vittoria Maria Di Giannatale

  • In this picture you can see the Gran Sasso mountain, right from the window of my house in my hometown Villa Vomano, Abruzzo. This is my example of a strong, powerfull natural landscape symbol, which dominates and characterizes our everyday view. [42°37'04.7"N 13°46'34.6"E]

  • In this picture I show how we can influence everyday landscape with our own signs and symbols. This graffiti is located in Rimini, which is a town very close by the town where I study in, Cesena. It shows the symbols of Rimini and the park where it is located, a rooster and a peacock. [44°03'50.6"N 12°33'46.0"E]

  • This picture is unfortunately a bit blurry, but here I have photographed la Rocca Malatestiana, in the city where I study. This is my historical symbol, which belongs to the landscape of my everyday life. It dominates Cesena from above, and it's not only a symbol but also a place where people gather to spend free time.

  • This is a typical landscape along the costa dei trabocchi. Costa means seashore and a trabocco is an ancient fishing “machine”. Along the shore some of these trabocchi were turned into restaurants, while some are considered as monuments. Trabocchi are an active presence of the landscape, they characterize it, shape it and create gathering and tourism. [42°17'46.6"N 14°27'58.4"E]

  • Rocca Calascio is characterized by the presence of a medieval castle, from which you can have one of the most striking views of the region of Abruzzo. This is an interesting example of artificial elements melting and coexisting perfectly with natural ones. Nature is dominated by the building but in a balanced way and without being obscured.

  • This building is considered as an example of not democratic landscape. In an area of small houses and green areas it arises breaking every balance. Next to it you can see an historical house (it is a mill that the municipality is going to renovate) which is totally dominated by it. [44°08'28.7"N 12°14'26.4"E]
