Abstract
AbstractThis chapter lays out the foundations for this book regarding the concepts of “landscape” and “traditional cultural landscapes.” The term “cultural landscape” is introduced from a holistic perspective and examples of operationalization are given. “Traditions” should hereby be considered as a combination of elements through which it is possible to evoke collective memories, identities, and social cohesion. Multifunctionality of landscapes is addressed here as an interdisciplinary approach integrating both environmental and socio-economic characteristics. Additional to outstanding and well-known examples of traditional cultural landscapes worldwide such as the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, also the “every-day” cultural landscapes are considered here.KeywordsLandscapeCultural landscapeEvery-day landscapeMultifunctionalityTraditional cultural landscapeTraditions
