Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Since the second half of 20th century, an increasing social concern about the
maintenance and protection of the landscape has been developing in Europe. In this
context, the Council of Europe published in 2000 the European Landscape Convention
(ELC, henceforth). This document contains a serial of objectives related to the
landscape management, planning and protection. Among these objectives there are
some focused on educating and making aware the society on landscapes issue. The
aim of these proposals is to encourage the development of respectful attitudes towards
the territory and achieve a capable society to take part in decision making in matter of
landscape.
