The role of food production in planning for open space: Post-war planning of the rural–urban fringes of Copenhagen and Brussels
Following the renewed attention for food production near cities, multiple concepts propose the creation of spaces for food production at the rural–urban fringe (RUF). The RUF is an area of multiple policy domains and, as a consequence, those new concepts are confronted with complexity when put into practice. Local planning history is part of the complexity as it casts shadows on contemporary planning debate and practice. This paper explores how p…
Defining Landscape Democracy: A Path to Spatial Justice
The paper proposes the explorative concept of ‘democratic landscape’ to interpret the processes underlying the landscape appearance, and in particular its “level of democracy”. In our aim this concept allows to observe not only procedural democracy in decision making concerning landscape, but the whole landscape construction process and the substantive democracy of its results, including roles and interests of different social actors. The paper a…
European Landscapes in Transition: Implications for Policy and Practice
The Great Trossachs Forest is a 16,500 hectare area set in the heart of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park (LLTNP) in central Scotland (Figure 1), and accounts for 9% of the National Park area. It stretches from Inversnaid on the eastern shores of Loch Lomond in the west, across the Loch Katrine catchment to Glen Finglas and Callander in the east (Figure 1). According to Scottish Natural Heritage’s Landscape Character Assessment (SNH…
The driving forces of landscape change in Europe: A systematic review of the evidence
Landscape strategy making and landscape characterisation—experiences from Danish experimental planning processes
Landscape strategy making including landscape characterisation is the subject of this article. Traditional approaches to landscape planning is briefly and critically discussed and a more place based and strategic approach to rural landscape planning is argued for. Landscape characterisation and community involvement is discussed in relation to three dimensions: the landscape as a common good; landscape rights; and the landscape as a development f…
Challenges for a shared European countryside of uncertain future. Towards a modern community-based landscape perspective
This paper addresses current changes in the highly diverse European landscape, and the way these transitions are being treated in policy and landscape management in the fragmented, heterogeneous and dynamic context of today’s Europe. It appears that intersecting driving forces are increasing the complexity of European landscapes and causing polarising developments in agricultural land use, biodiversity conservation and cultural landscape manageme…
Agricultural Landscape Sustainability under Pressure: Policy Developments and Landscape Change
Agricultural landscape sustainability is affected by combinations of agricultural developments and various forms of urbanisation. This paper analyses how public policy, including spatial planning, has responded over time and affected these two drivers which intersect in various ways depending on the regional context and local conditions. Using data from recent Danish studies, the paper shows how a large proportion of farmers perceive their farm m…
Intersecting Dynamics of Agricultural Structural Change and Urbanisation within European Rural Landscapes: Change Patterns and Policy Implications
European rural landscapes are, with few exceptions, characterised by farming and forestry as key functions. Whilst farming has been dominant historically and is still a significant dynamic in most regions, urbanisation is also a vital factor. This involves rural–urban emigration, urban expansion and migration from cities into the countryside (counter-urbanisation). A conceptual framework for the analysis and understanding of change patterns in Eu…
The Farmer and Landscape Management: Different Roles, Different Policy Approaches
The relationship between farming and landscape is a topical and disputed issue - in academia, among policy analysts and between policy makers and involved citizens. At a general level, agriculture affects most rural landscapes, and when agriculture changes, landscapes change, often with great implications for biodiversity, cultural heritage, recreation and other functions. The farmer is the key agent concerning landscape management decisions and …

Hunting and Landscape in Denmark: Farmers' Management of Hunting Rights and Landscape Changes
Hunting represents an important activity in Danish rural landscapes. In this paper, we analyse recent developments in farmers' management of the right to hunt and associated landscape activities in three agricultural regions based on surveys from 1995/96 and 2008. The results show that the total area on which farmers hunt has increased, especially the area on which the owner is the hunter. This indicates that interest in hunting is increasing, an…

The farmer as a landscape manager: Management roles and change patterns in a Danish region
Rural landscapes are mainly maintained and changed through farmers' decisions and practices.As a landscape manager the farmer has many different roles of which three roles related to the farm as a whole is investigated in this paper: producer, owner and citizen.Although most farmers take landscape decisions in all these three roles production based decisions are assumed to be more important for full time farmers than for hobby farmers who have th…
Introduction: Landscape Change and Rural Development
European rural landscapes are changing. Flows of capital, people, goods and information affect functions and forms of the rural landscape and change its character and, more or less, coordinated policies for agriculture, landscape and rural development are applied at different levels. Rural landscapes constitute a number of resources which in various ways can be mobilized by the rural actors and the local landscape is a suitable spatial level for …
Functional and Structural Changes of Agricultural Landscapes: How Changes are Conceived by Local Farmers in Two Danish Rural Communities
The subject of this paper is the views of farmers concerning their local landscape. In two contrasting Danish case study areas previously analysed in the 1990s, a small number of farmers have been interviewed regarding their views of the landscape and recent changes in their respective area including landscape changes. One of the areas (Hvorslev) is characterized by good conditions for agriculture, intensive husbandry production and a relatively …
Conceptual development of a harmonised method for tracking change and evaluating policy in the agri-environment: The Agri-environmental Footprint Index
Multiple interfaces of the European Landscape Convention
The multiple interfaces of the European Landscape Convention were the topic of a roundtable panel discussion held at the meeting of the Permanent European Conference for the Study of the Rural Landscape in September 2006. The roundtable was convened by Kenneth R. Olwig, who together with four other speakers presented the main topics for discussion. Their presentations are given here as a series of short articles. Initially a brief historical back…
Land system changes in the context of urbanisation: Examples from the peri-urban area of Greater Copenhagen
Peri-urban areas are characterised by great heterogeneity and rapid changes of land use. Furthermore, population composition changes as peri-urban areas offer attractive residential alternatives to city centres or more remote locations. The dynamic processes leave peri-urban areas in an in-between situation, neither city nor countryside and home to a range of functions, spanning from agricultural production to residential and recreational areas. …
