“…They appear useless to society from an economic point of view (unexploited) as well as an aesthetic point of view, because some consider that they mar the landscape (Liou, 1991). Innumerable landscape effects are attributed to abandoned farmland, such as the loss of scenic and environmental qualities (Perez, 1990), the closure of mountain landscapes (Barrué-Pastor and Fournié, 1996), the disappearance of contours and the loss of spatial hierarchies (Chambres d'agriculture, 1991). All of these negative visual effects foster various feelings that range from an impression of abandonment and isolation, of oppression, of suppression of contact with neighbours (Chambres d'agriculture, 1991), to feelings of insecurity and poverty (Barrué-Pastor and Fournié, 1996); some have even called abandoned farmland a shameful disease of the French soil (Goislard, 1954).…”

“…In economic terms, society deems them useless. Some believe that the closure of mountain landscapes (Barrué-Pastor and Fournié, 1996), the disappearance of contours, and the loss of spatial hierarchies deface the landscape (Liou, 1991;Perez, 1990). These visual effects can prompt negative feelings of apathy and disaffection.…”

There is a lively ongoing debate on Critical Heritage Studies and the Authorised Heritage Discourse, but quite a few authors have viewed the issue from a canonical perspective where the wider Cultural Built Heritage visual experience is assessed and valued in relation with authenticity and integrity. The terms static authenticity and dynamic authenticity appear in this text as dependent on heritage connectivity. Two main arguments are developed in this study. Firstly, a general overview of the context is proposed in order to understand the vernacular internationally. Secondly, the article offers an inside view intended to provide an accurate interpretation of how the vernacular is scrutinised and understood. A fundamental issue discussed in this paper is how cultural heritage is ruled, protected, enhanced, experienced and managed on different scales.

The lack of a particular use associated with abandoned farmland provides real opportunities with respect to the various land-use pressures occurring in productive territories. These environments remain generally poorly known and, because of this, require in-depth studies on the feasibility of management options, on biological as well as social grounds. This study, based on research on the biophysical potential and the perceptions by the owners of abandoned farmlands, analyzes the feasibility of silvicultural management options to improve forestry potential. Using a questionnaire, we surveyed abandoned farmland owners on different aspects of the status of their abandoned farmland in order to determine their willingness toward the management of these private lands. The land owners were also asked to express their interests and their constraints toward various types of interventions, with an emphasis on silvicultural work. The data were analyzed using multivariate methods to establish relationships between the questionnaire data and the characteristics of the land owners (socioeconomic profile and value system toward the environment). The results show that, in general, abandoned farmland is an unwanted space, is generally little used, is poorly known, and has little importance in the plans of its owners. We have found three types of owner profiles; the owners with a farmer's profile are those who are the most interested in managing their abandoned farmland, whether for agriculture or silviculture. The desire to improve abandoned farmland seems less important to owners with an ecocentric profile (high awareness of the environment) and to older owners. Finally, by associating the type of abandoned farmland owned and the characteristics of the owners, it is possible to propose different management options that reconcile the wishes of the owners as well as the biophysical potential of their abandoned farmland.
