Sažetak
The authors held this paper on the 21st Session of the Permanent European Conference for the Study of the Rural Landscape - One Region, Many Stories. Mediterranean Landscapes in a Changing Europe on the theme »Theory and Methodology of Landscape Research
« (Limnos and Lesvos, Greece, 15-21 September 2004). Affirmation of
landscape research as part of territorial identity and sustainability concerns in the era of globalised economy and culture has been gaining importance in the peripheral, less developed and largely rural
EU regions, such as Portugal. However, the pro-identity rhetoric has
not been matched with practice: changes in landscapes, provoked by
diverse interests and power-relations between local and global stakeholders often undermine sustainable development prospects. This situation, it is argued in this paper, reflects the lack of adequate
conceptual-methodological framework for the translation of landscape
and other territorial identity-related concerns into local and regional
development policies and instruments. This limitation can be overcome by operationalizing the complex and ambiguous concept of
territorial identity into an analytical category in order to allow for recording, assessment and monitoring of consumption and (reproduction of traditional and emerging landscape and other identity
features. Empirical studies of territorial identities, conceived as sets of
material and immaterial spatial fixes and flows within the local/global
nexus, need to integrate in an effective manner the role of changing land scapes in local and regional development. In this context, a
conceptual-methodological framework for development-oriented research on landscape and other territorial Identity features is proposed.
