“…One must, rather, guide the changes that are required to better the life of people who live in spaces with significant cultural value by applying measures agreed upon in consultation with local populations. This type of protection or "managed change" is closer to town and country planning than to the methods of protection and conservation characteristic of traditional heritage policy (Lisitzin & Stovel, 2003;Aalen, 2004;Bloemers, 2010).…”

“…Computerization facilitates the up-dating and analysis of information, its open access and reuse, and the provision of advanced public services. It also promotes the dissemination of information, not just to specialists, but for the general public, thereby affecting the appreciation of the population for their heritage and making their institutions more transparent (Visser, 2010;McKeague & Thomas, 2016;Fernández, Carrera, Ortiz, 2017;López et al, 2021).…”

L'interès pels paisatges culturals des d'àmbits acadèmics i administratius s'ha incrementat en els últims decennis a causa de la globalització, amb la conseqüent pèrdua del caràcter distintiu dels territoris, i a l'acceleració dels processos de transformació del mitjà. Aquesta situació ha propiciat, com va ocórrer en el passat amb el patrimoni moble i immoble, l'elaboració d'inventaris de paisatges culturals com a primer pas perquè en prengueu coneixement, reconeixement i preservació davant els potencials impactes que posen en risc els seus valors culturals i naturals. Les diferents teories, mètodes i tècniques sobre les quals es construeixen aquests inventaris poden identificar-se a través de les respostes als següents interrogants Què s'inventariarà?, Per a què i per a qui es realitzarà l'inventari?, Qui liderarà la seva elaboració? Quin serà el procés de treball? Quina informació és necessària? Com es produirà i gestionar aquesta informació? A partir d'una anàlisi bibliogràfica es compararan els principals criteris, mètodes i tècniques aplicats en l'elaboració d'un conjunt d'inventaris de paisatges culturals d'Europa i Amèrica del Nord, i altres d'abast mundial, per a concloure que, encara que el paisatge cultural constitueix una categoria patrimonial cada vegada més assentada en la teoria i en la pràctica de la recerca i gestió del patrimoni cultural, encara necessita de la definició de criteris comunament acceptats per al seu registre i documentació. Academic and administrative interest in cultural landscapes has increased in recent decades due to globalization (and the consequent loss of distinctiveness of different territories) and accelerated process of environmental change. As occurred earlier with tangible and intangible heritage items, this has given rise to inventories of cultural landscapes as a first step towards understanding, recognizing and preserving them in the face potential threats that endanger their cultural and natural values. The various theories, methods and techniques which guide the construction of these inventories can be identified in the answers given to the following questions: What is to be inventoried? For what purpose and for whom is the inventory to be produced? Who will direct its production? How will the work be realized? What information is necessary? How will this information be generated and managed? We use a bibliographic analysis to compare the principal criteria, methods and techniques used in the development of a set cultural landscape inventories from Europe and North America, and others of world-wide reach. We conclude that, even though cultural landscapes are an increasingly established category in the theory and practice of heritage research and management, the definition of commonly accepted criteria for its recording and documentation remains necessary. El interés por los paisajes culturales desde ámbitos académicos y administrativos se ha incrementado en los últimos decenios debido a la globalización, con la consecuente pérdida del carácter distintivo de los territorios, y la aceleración de los procesos de transformación del medio. Esta situación ha propiciado, como ocurrió en el pasado con el patrimonio mueble e inmueble, la elaboración de inventarios de paisajes culturales como primer paso para su conocimiento, reconocimiento y preservación ante los potenciales impactos que ponen en riesgo sus valores culturales y naturales. Las diferentes teorías, métodos y técnicas sobre las que se construyen estos inventarios pueden identificarse a través de las respuestas a los siguientes interrogantes ¿Qué se va a inventariar?, ¿Para qué y para quién se va a realizar el inventario?, ¿Quién va a liderar su elaboración? ¿Cuál va a ser el proceso de trabajo? ¿Qué información es necesaria? ¿Cómo se va a producir y gestionar esta información? A partir de un análisis bibliográfico se compararán los principales criterios, métodos y técnicas aplicados en la elaboración de un conjunto de inventarios de paisajes culturales de Europa y Norteamérica, y otros de alcance mundial, para concluir que, aunque el paisaje cultural constituye una categoría patrimonial cada vez más asentada en la teoría y en la práctica de la investigación y gestión del patrimonio cultural, aún necesita de la definición de criterios comúnmente aceptados para su registro y documentación.

“…The human shaped "cultural landscapes" harbor multilayered imprints of numerous generations and past changes (Bloemers et al, 2010;Palang et al, 2011). Although today's changing landscapes are the interface of different approaches and diverse readings, the human dimension of land-use change has been largely overlooked.…”

South American grasslands, socio-ecological systems used heavily for a long time, are currently experiencing dramatic land-use changes due to implementation of large-scale afforestation and agro-industrial cash crops. Applying the conceptual framework of “Multifunctional and sustainable productive landscapes” to Uruguay, we explored the impacts on rural ecosystems and communities based on a long-term monitoring network by assessing species richness of plant and terrestrial arthropods and socio-economic data from national census. We found that silvi- and agricultural industry established mainly at the expense of extensively grazed grasslands and local family farms with traditional techniques, accompanied by a deregulation of the rural labor market, depopulation and aging of rural society. Governmental nature protection efforts increase the native forest cover and establish nature protection areas focusing mainly on forests. We also discuss pathways of land-use change in recent decades and related discourses of local stakeholders.

“…Archaeologists and cultural heritage managers, engaged in diverse activities through research, development-led, agency and charity-based projects addressing landscape archaeology and management of heritage in the landscape [36][37][38], have been prompted to rethink their professional aims by changes in regulatory frameworks, economics, and their own values. There is a new emphasis on archaeology's public benefits, including informing and inspiring ways to pursue more sustainable practices [39][40][41][42][43] by providing information on the long-term effects of human interactions with the environment.…”

The aims of agricultural land management change continuously, reflecting shifts in wider societal priorities. Currently, these include addressing the climate crisis, promoting environmental sustainability, and supporting the livelihoods of rural communities while ensuring food security. Working toward these aims requires information on the character of agricultural land and how dynamic processes influence it. Remote and near-surface sensing data are important sources of information on the characteristics of soils, plants, water, topography, and related processes. Sensing data are collected, analysed, and used in decision-making by specialists in multiple domains connected to land management. While progress has been made to connect the use of sensing data across agricultural and environmental applications under the umbrella of integrated sustainable land management, archaeological and heritage uses of these data remain largely disconnected. This creates barriers to accounting for the impacts of past human activities on contemporary agricultural landscapes through the alteration of soils, topography, and plant communities. In parallel, it hinders the creation of knowledge about the archaeological features which form an essential part of the heritage of agricultural landscapes. The ipaast-czo project explores the potential of a coordinated approach across all these domains, which would reduce these barriers and provide benefits by better integrating information generated using sensing. To do so, both conceptual and practical barriers to developing shared practices and how these might be overcome were considered. In this study, a conceptual framework designed to create a shared understanding of how agricultural landscapes work and enable collaboration around their management was proposed. This framework treats present-day rural agricultural landscapes as Critical Zones: complex entities shaped by long-term human–environment interactions including contemporary farming. Practitioners in precision agriculture and archaeological remote and near-surface sensing, as well as users of these data, were engaged using workshops and interviews. The relationships between practitioners’ objectives, data requirements for their applications, and their perceptions of the benefits and disadvantages of changing working practices were interrogated. The conceptual framework and assessment of practical benefits and challenges emerging from this work provide a foundation for leveraging shared sensing data and methods for long-term integrated sustainable land management.
