Abstract:

Man and the environment constitute an inseparable binomial. Images of their coexistence in a given geographical space are reflected through natural and cultural landscapes. While nature has “painted” the landscape with wide brushes, through the mountains, plains and hills between them, the human hand has emphasized the “tonalities” of painting the traces of its activity. Man has given his identity to the space lived and administered by him. His culture is naturally reflected in Herskovich’s definition of “as a man-made part of the environment.” At the same time, cultural landscapes show regional identity, as a perception that human society has made of the opportunities and constraints that the environment has provided for it.
