Abstract(s)
The perception of landscape and
its transformation underpins the
process of socio-ecological awareness
that is essential to a healthy
relationship between Humans and
Nature. One of the great challenges
to contemporary and future society
is the vital need to increase
knowledge and awareness of the
development model that has led
us to the global ecological crisis
that we face today. We know that
resources may become scarce if
we continue to consume them at
the current rate, especially if the
rise in atmospheric temperature exceeds
certain limits. The landscape
reflects this economic model and
the decisions that are taken on the
territory. Different expressions may
be used depending on the scale and
intensity of the transformation that
has occurred as the landscape is a
resource that is essential not only to
the development of economic activities
but also to the qualification
of the territory and the well-being
of the population (Cassatella and
Peano, 2011). In Portugal, the result of two critical
trends can be observed in the
landscape - the depopulation of
rural areas with the consequent
concentration of population in urban
settlements influenced by the coastline, and the inevitable simplification
of the agricultural and
forest cultural mosaics.
