Landscape development and land use change in traditional cultural landscapes - evidence from the peripheries of Europe ; Landschaftsentwicklung und Landnutzungswandel in traditionellen Kulturlandschaften - Beobachtungen aus den Peripherien Europas
The present cumulative dissertation comprises four research articles dealing with different aspects of landscape development and land use change in two marginalized regions of Europe. In order to explore the limitations and potentials regions with traditional cultural landscapes face in their regional development and which changes the landscapes undergo in the process, two case study regions were investigated exemplarily. Gyimes in the Eastern Carpathians of Romania and Las Hurdes in Extremadura, Spain, were chosen to test three initially formulated hypotheses. Firstly, it was assumed that traditional cultural landscapes in Europe today have been preserved due to reasons that can be generalized across the continent. The first set of research questions dealt with what these reasons are and whether the remaining cultural landscapes of Europe have a common denominator. Secondly, the empirical fact that many of the traditional cultural landscapes in Europe are facing changes and decline, was supposed to occur mainly due to outside influences. Taking Gyimes and Las Hurdes as concrete examples, the ongoing changes and their underlying reasons were explored, questioning whether the land use systems that once created the landscapes still persisted. Thirdly, out of the various outside influencing factors two were isolated – regulatory policies and the outside perception – and it was attempted to draw casual relationships from the sources of these influencing factors to their impacts on the field level. The investigation was carried out using literature review, a questionnaire survey of tourists, an interview survey of households and expert interviews for data collection from 2006 to 2010. The generated data was then utilized for a livelihood analysis of households in Gyimes and Las Hurdes and a policy analysis of the regulatory framework of agricultural, rural and regional development policies aimed at the regions. It could be shown that the studied traditional cultural landscapes have survived due to isolation, ...
