Operational landscapes as culture generators: the case of Barros de Beja
Historically, the countryside has been seen as having a subordinate role to the development of cities. Its place in the understanding of the processes that shape the spatial and social organization of society has often been neglected. But if the countryside is thought of not only as a support to the city, but as a territory with autonomous characteristics, it acquires a radical potential for the transformation of urban development. Starting from this question the research aims to explore the confrontation between ancient and contemporary organization of the hinterlands territory, and examines it as an opportunity to establish alternative development processes. This investigation finds its specificity in the low fields of Alentejo, a region in the south of Portugal that can be understood as a mutating territory, where a wide range of traces of its historical landscape are dispersed within a highly operationalized agro landscape. The proposed research advocates for the view of the countryside as a cultural generator, and sees this characteristic as having the potential to mediate between infrastructural transformations and human settlements. ; Historically, the countryside has been seen as having a subordinate role to the development of cities.
