Landscape character types

Landscape character types describe the distinct qualities and features that define different areas of land, such as rural countryside, urban parks, or coastal regions. They consider factors like natural features (hills, rivers), land use (farmland, cityscape), historical elements, and visual appearance. Recognizing these types helps us understand how landscapes have been shaped by nature and human activity, and guides planning, conservation, and development efforts to maintain their unique identity and character. Essentially, they provide a way to categorize and appreciate the diversity of landscapes in a meaningful and organized manner.
