Kulturlandschaft gemeinsam verstehen – Praktische Beispiele der Landschaftssozialisation aus dem Schweizer Alpenraum

Abstract. Within the research field of landscape perception new approaches have been developed and applied on different scales in Switzerland. Agriculture still has a huge impact on the appearance of cultural landscape. The project Kulturlandschaft gemeinsam verstehen investigates the perception among farmers and is focusing on regional differences. Therefore problem-centred interviews have been conducted in two case study areas during an on-site walk with farmers. Regarding the theory of landscape socialisation participative and mediation processes in the realm of landscape values have been considered. The results point out a differentiated perception of cultural landscape within the two case study areas and show that an active inclusion of farmers has a positive impact on the landscape perception.
