Cultural Landscape Theory

Cultural Landscape Theory examines how human activities shape and modify natural landscapes, reflecting cultural values, practices, and histories. It emphasizes the interaction between people and their environments, illustrating how communities influence land use, architecture, and spatial organization. This theory highlights that landscapes are not just physical spaces but also cultural narratives; they tell stories about traditions, identities, and relationships between communities and their surroundings. By studying these landscapes, we gain insights into cultural heritage and the social dynamics that shape our environments over time.
