“…In recent years, European landscape research has focused on applied landscape studies taking into account people's perceptions and images, as well as the participation of the public and stakeholders (Buijs et al, 2006;Pedroli et al, 2006). There are several studies dealing with ongoing landscape changes as a consequence of changes in agricultural policy (e.g.…”

International audienceIn a period of agricultural decline in the uplands of Europe, agriculture is ceasing to provide the primary rationale for the organisation, utilisation and functioning of rural space. Policy reform, market trends and changes to the way citizens and consumers think about the countryside all suggest a need for thinking strategically about the future development of these areas. However, without a broad involvement of stakeholders, land use conflicts, and social and cultural conflicts in general, may increase. Involving stakeholders in upland areas can be facilitated by using scenario technique and by discussing alternative futures in local stakeholder panels. In this paper we present four scenarios of land-use change for the year 2030, and their assessments by stakeholder panels in Scotland, France, Norway, Switzerland, Slovakia and Greece. The aim of the paper is to explore the ways in which stakeholders in these locations advocate and assess these scenarios. We also explore how stakeholders in different countries weight the visual landscape impacts, the livelihood and biodiversity aspects of the scenarios in their assessment, and the reasons for their prioritising. The cross-country analysis shows that stakeholders across the study areas are united in their overall rejection of agricultural liberalisation, advocating a production-oriented, but multifunctional and environmentally-friendly agriculture that maintains landscapes and biodiversity

“…In seeking to understand recent developments in landscape science and the content of this feature, lessons can be learnt from the four-year program of the Australian Government's Commonwealth Environmental Research Facilities program, launched in 2005 (see also Pedroli et al [2006] for a European perspective). This funded eight research hubs in its first round, one of which, Landscape Logic, features in the book of the same title by Lefroy et al (2012).…”

This is the introduction to the Ecology and Society special feature on "Applying Landscape Science to Natural Resource Management". Primarily drawing upon examples from Australia, the nine papers in the feature illustrate how landscape science seeks to integrate information from diverse sources to generate management solutions for implementation by individual land managers, communities, and governments at different levels. This introduction refers to the genesis of the feature, briefly outlines the nature and content of landscape science, and then summarizes key features of the nine papers. These are organized into two sections: one deals with inputs from human agents in the landscape, and one with the development of models enabling different management scenarios and environmental changes to be envisaged, understood, and applied to policy development

“…In many regions all over Europe, including The Netherlands, new multifunctional land use demands are being raised (Pedroli et al, 2006). In The Netherlands, we see, for example, that forests are seen as being increasingly important for the land use functions of nature and recreation.…”
