“…Stance three: 'In the countryside are 'felt' changes in the government'. The world examples show that the policy has influenced on changes in the countryside life (Bratton, 1990;Dwyer, 2011;Winter, 2013), but if there was no clear 'rural vision', they were missing (Scott et al, 2011). It was obvious that in Britain were looking at policy ideas, concepts and compatibilities, as well as making assessments of their impact and examining exactly how they might be implemented and allocated resources in practice (Blunden & Nigel, 1988).…”

ABSTRACT. In this article are given the opinions by Pannonia countryside inhabitants that belong to the Republic of Serbia about some characteristics of everyday policy. The opinions are gathered by poll which was distributed by e-mail to different areas of the Province of Vojvodina. Namely, 122 participants who filled the poll correctly estimated ten stances. They were formed on the basis of the themes about which the farmers have most often discussed. Special attention was directed to differences concerning the opinion of participants of different gender and age structure, activity and political engagement. Descriptive statistics, T-test and one-factor analysis of ANOVA variance have been used for establishing the differences and were complemented by Post-hoc Tukey test. This paper could be used for improvement of connections and relationships among the politicians, policy and countryside.

“…The CAP adopted in 2003 gave a large independence to the Member States about the choices for adapt the CAP to specific territorial realities (historical and hybrid models for the implementation of the Single Payment Scheme are an example). The implementation of an environmental policy that took place due to Directives has been more subject to negotiation and influence by domestic stakeholders [74]. Furthermore, the European Convention on Landscape was implemented in different moments and with different tools within Member States.…”

During the past decades the Italian rural landscape has undergone drastic alterations as a result of complex and contradictory transformation dynamics. This paper aims to investigate and evaluate these alterations in Sardinia, one of the most rural Italian regions. Land-use maps from different years were studied to identify the dominant rural landscape features of the region and the transformations they were subjected to over the course of time. The analysis investigates changes on three geographical scales: region, provinces, and "agrarian regions". An overall economic balance of landscape changes was calculated from the value ascribed to types of land use on the basis of the allowances (compensation for expropriation) provided by the local authorities (Provincial Commissions). This economic balance was considered in light of the regional policies which accompanied it. Results partially confirm the national and European general trend of loss of agricultural land when it is converted to new forms of exploitation. The analysis at different geographical scales has, in some cases, revealed data against the general trend, especially for some agricultural regions and for certain agricultural products. There is consistent with economic balance. This shows the need of a deep ex post evaluation of the effects of policies financed by regional and national community funds on the evolution of Sardinian landscapes.

“…European society is seeking an increasingly complex mix of goals from the management of farmed landscapes, combining sustainability with productivity in respect of food and energy (Dwyer, 2010). Ostrom (2010), reviewing similar trends in respect of global commons, calls for polycentric policy, less 'one size fits all', and more flexibility for different scales in governance, to increase innovation, learning, adaptation, and more sustainable outcomes.…”

This paper examines English experience with agri-environment schemes as a tool to promote sustainable landscapes. Evidence is drawn from policy and academic literature and selected recent research. Performance is assessed by reference to key notions of sustainable landscapes: spatial coherence, functionality and socio-cultural meaning. Whilst now widespread across England and well-supported by the environmental community, agri-environment schemes suffer from weaknesses in design and delivery including insensitivity to the evolving needs and concerns of farming businesses, the wider policy context, and thereby to the integrity of the landscape. An upland case study illustrates problems of poor communication and advice, narrow and inconsistent delivery, and under-recognition of social issues which together work against more sustainable agricultural landscapes. In the context of emerging EU and global challenges, a shift of emphasis towards systemic approaches, developed territorially in partnership with farmers, is needed. Emerging non-policy innovations and new initiatives may offer lessons for an improved approach.
