This dissertation proposes to contextualize some thoughts about recent motives that push people into
rural landscape and into finding new ways to intervene in the countryside and how this movement is
quite clear in what Alentejo region concerns.
Here we try to show an ensemble of events and dynamics, that made society more aware of certain
aspects of landscape and development, but also how those aspects help to develop land management
politics and tools. Coming out from this awareness emerge new rural development paradigms that
help to establish the new bases for rural landscape evolution.
Most of the reflections here presented gain a special meaning when associated with a practical
perspective, achieved by the evaluation of intervention projects connected with one of the most
prominent economic activity nowadays, the tourism. Considering this context three projects were
taken in account: Peral Manor Touristic Project, Valadas Manor Touristic Project and Milreu Manor
Touristic Project. They try to materialize some of the contemporary imprints in rural landscapes,
satisfying the main policies and development guide-lines for Alentejo region, for tourism and also for
preservation and valorization goals concerning ecological and cultural values.
