The Cultural Landscape Approach

The Cultural Landscape Approach examines how human activities shape and are shaped by the natural environment. It considers the interplay between people and their surroundings, highlighting how culture, history, and social practices influence land use, architecture, and community design. This approach emphasizes that landscapes are not just physical spaces but also carry meanings, stories, and identities. By studying these cultural landscapes, we gain insight into how societies interact with their environment, and how this relationship evolves over time, reflecting changes in culture, technology, and values.
