“…The German form landschaftcombines land with schaffen (to make)perhaps referring to the human activities involved in the making of the landscape. American geographer Sauer (1925) sees landscapes as systems connecting human societies and natural environments (Gregory et al, 2009). The landscape, especially in geographical thinking, is "an area of a distinct association of forms, both physical and cultural" (Sauer, 1925: 26).…”

“…The landscape idea has a long history and profound theoretical values (Antrop and Van Eetvelde, 2017;Arts et al, 2017;Gregory et al, 2009). In the geographical tradition, landscape refers to an area or unit shaped by both natural and socio-cultural processes (Hartshorne, 1939;Sauer, 1925;Schlüter, 1899aSchlüter, , 1899b. The conceptualisation of landscape and the interrelationships of the objects that coexist in it give rise to a triad of epistemological orientationsthe unifying, morphogenetic and socialised.…”

Peri-urban planning: A landscape perspective

The management of peri-urban development has emerged as a new context of contemporary urban planning. Its dynamic and diverse nature presents major challenges and opportunities for urban sustainability. However, a more integrated framework for peri-urban planning has been progressing slowly. An examination of the epistemology of the landscape concept reveals three salient aspects of landscape relevant to multiple domains of peri-urban planning – the unifying, morphogenetic and socialised. Although landscape research has translated into peri-urban management, its full potential has yet to be realised. Among the three landscape dimensions, morphogenesis is relatively neglected. By foregrounding morphogenesis, the three epistemological orientations of landscape can be rebalanced and reintegrated to form the basis of a new planning framework for more continuous, harmonious and sustainable peri-urban development.

“…The sites include physical and cultural landscapes as separate parts of the landscape. Natural landscapes, sometimes referred to as wilderness, denote that which existed before it was acted on by human culture (Sauer 1925). However, in the twenty-first century landscapes that are totally untouched by human activity are hard to find.…”

The Meaning, Spiritual Foundation, and Mythology of African Sacred Landscapes

In various cultures around the world, past and present, many natural and cultural sites are deemed sacred. What are sacred landscapes? What are the spiritual foundations for their formation? How are they formed? How are they protected? The answers to these questions help frame a discussion of sacred landscapes within the context of their meaning, origin, and management processes as lived experiences of specific societies. In Tanzania the linkages between biodiversity and the worldview of a society have partly been acknowledged but remain unexplored. This paper applies a mixed research approach to studying sacred forests among the Bena community of Njombe in Tanzania. Rather than looking exclusively at the sacred forests in themselves as places, the paper underscores the linkage of human-nature-spirituality as key in explaining the history of sacred forests. It establishes that, among the Bena, the sacredness of a place was founded on the relationship between the visible and the invisible worlds – relations that led to the formation of various mystical-religious homelands’ sacred places that are protected through mythologies.
