Abstract

The conservation of culture in landscapes has to be based on a transdiciplinary systems approach. By this approach landscapes are recognized as the tangible Gestalt systems of our Total Human Ecosystem, integrating humans and their total environment at the highest co-evolutionary level of the ecological hierarchy. Cultural landscapes are the tangible meeting points between nature and mind, and the conservation of their cultural assets has to be an integral part of holistic and dynamic landscape management. This has to be aimed at the protection, conservation and restoration of total landscape ecodiversity, namely their biological, ecological and cultural diversity and their intrinsic and instrumental values
