“…Much has been written about these tensions and trends (Marx, 1964;Glacken, 1967;Williams, 1973;McHarg, 1992;Luccarelli, 1995;Creese, 1996;Parsons and Schuyler, 2002) that emerge as socio-political reform agendas, based in a belief in the importance of access to nature and open space. And they continue into the twentieth century with the further building of garden cities (even today's suburbs-perhaps the most predominant manifestation of a desire to be surrounded by nature while still being in the city), the struggles to build more urban parks, the federal (in the U.S.) investments in National Recreation Areas, and many other examples beyond the scope of this article (Whyte, 1970;Jackson, 1994;Rome, 2001;Seller, 2012).…”

Urban Ecosystem Science is now an established science, arising along side the historic shift of humans to becoming in majority urban dwellers. In this Perspective I suggest there is a need to develop a new framework for UES as embedded in distinct urban biomes that can be classified by city-type and typologized. UES are largely the artifact of human decision making from what to plant where, to determining the urban infrastructure type in which UES will be placed. Developing urban typologies by climate zone, level of development, size and history will better enable the understanding of UES. I attempt to show the rise of the importance of nature, and of urban nature following the development of industrial city, and the importance of human intent in creating these urban ecosystems over time. If humans choose to manage cities through increasing UES, this will require coupled shifts, the shift in rules and regulations, goals and processes and shifts in urban form, infrastructure and function-socio-technical-ecological changes-driven by human decision-making. Such efforts will vary widely by city-by urban biome.

“…This distinction is also the one factor that transforms space into place (cf. Tuan 1974;Jackson 1994). Contrarily, major changes to the physical environment may make places cease to exist, and, as they lose their meaning to people, the geographic locality becomes instead a place understood as space (cf.…”

Realizing that a changing society is in constant need of redefinition, the rural-urban distinction is especially important to look systematically into. One reason is that although the outdatedness of the ruralurban dichotomy is widely acknowledged, it is still largely sustained, not least in 'rural' and 'urban' development endeavors, which are often conducted separately. Such practice may seem questionable in the face of the progressive blurring of these concepts, which makes them increasingly subjective. Acknowledging the continued need for categorization on the one hand and admitting to its flawed nature on the other, we submit there is a pressing need to capture the changing logic of rural-urban subjectivity in order to better handle it in practice. By combining humanistic and materiality-based perspectives, we discuss the concepts of 'rural' and 'urban' with emphasis on perception and experiential space as one possible way forward. In that vein, we also tentatively explore the potential of the concept of 'landscape' to serve as a bridge between physical and subject-centered tenets of rural-urban awareness. We argue it could become a useful conceptual tool for creating context from the divergent theoretical currents in regard to how rural-urban should be understood today.

“…While the initial focus of studies of the ways was from a more physical dimension in order to establish an understanding of territories through an articulator, they have also drifted from their symbolic dimension (Di Méo, 1998). Ways are also considered articulators of ideology and of the symbolic representation of territories (Bonnemaison, 1999 A and B), "…Rather, odology was to be about the human shaping of roads and the ways that roads have shaped humans…" (John Brinckerhoff Jackson 1994).The significance given to the way takes on a much greater relevance in the case of major sacred routes (Lay, 1992). It seems fairly logical that the relationship between both dimensions of the way goes hand in hand with the territory, such as in the execution of a radio-centric network of routes from a centralized ideology.…”

The Sacred Way: The Pilgrimage Route of Saint Sebastian (Yumbel, Chile)

Routes can be understood not only in their spatial dimension but also have to be considered as a temporal way. Spatiotemporal links and dimensions run deep into the sense of place, and have often been used as a way to understand cosmogony. The way therefore becomes a sacred achievement, in a journey of initiation, as a pilgrim. This article will focus on the rediscovery of a historic route along the river Bío-Bíothanks to the traces of a present Catholic pilgrimage's devotion to Saint Sebastian but also based on an older Mapuche tradition. The temporal link related to the date of the 20 th January is the common fact that permits us to prove the adaption of both cultural traditions and the present rebuilding of the old route. The pilgrimage route of Saint Sebastian in Yumbel (Chile) is an example of the survival of a sacred way in an historic frontier land over time. This case allows us to underline the importance of routes as key elements for a spatial embodiment of vernacular understandings. Sacred ways become the invisible markers of cosmogonies.
