The New Landscape Paradigm

The New Landscape Paradigm is a framework for understanding how landscapes are shaped by both natural processes and human activities. It emphasizes that landscapes are dynamic and interconnected, influenced by ecological changes, cultural practices, and social structures. This approach encourages us to view landscapes not just as physical spaces, but as living systems that reflect our values and histories. By acknowledging the complex relationships between environment and society, the paradigm promotes more sustainable land management and encourages a deeper appreciation of how we interact with and affect our surroundings.
