Art. 1. Definitions.

"Landscape" is defined as a zone or area as perceived by local people or visitors, whose visual features and character are the result of the action of natural and/or cultural (that is, human) factors. This definition reflects the idea that landscapes evolve through time, as a result of being acted upon by natural forces and human beings. It also underlines that a landscape forms a whole, whose natural and cultural components are taken together, not separately.

 

Article 2 – ScopeSubject to the provisions contained in Article 15, this

Convention applies to the entire territory of the Parties and covers natural, rural, urban and peri-urban areas. It includes land, inland water and marine areas. It concerns landscapes that might be considered outstanding as well as everyday or degraded landscapes.

An Integrated Cultural Territorial Plan (PTCI) has the landscape as its main objective

An Integrated Cultural Territorial Plan (PTCI) is (the seven quality point of PTCI):

• Operative, but organised by projects• Structural (identification of hierarchies and integrated system

components)• Incremental (made of parts that have functional self-efficacy: minimum

significant parts)• deployable (no need to have immediately a "Plan perfect and complete”.

The various parts can be articulated, made them more complex and depth for future implementations)

• flexible (ie not too difficult to modify, not a plan "hard" and "normative", but a "scenario", a program of policies and guidelines to develop the projects components in a coordinated manner and in accordance with the goals of conservation and appreciation of resources)

• strategic (shared, participatory, concerted, communicative)• Managed ("accompanied" by competent public authorities, operators and

associations)

An Integrated Cultural Territorial Plan can be produced according to a process which involves the development of seven points in sequence and with successive iterations (elaboration process made by successive implementations: the seven "layers”):

• 1. Charter of the landscape;• 2. Map of the "current cultural structure" of the studied area;• 3. Scenario of the physical and social assets;• 4. Policies and guidelines, rules for transformation process;• 5. Plans-operational programs;• 6. The projects;• 7. The management of the ICTP.

One of the possible criteria for identifying an area of landscape: perceptual criterion (the landscape is also what we see and how we see it: It is most immediate and understandable criterion).

To deal with the perceptual criterion is necessary to consider three types of perception of the landscape, resulting in three types of landscape:

Distant landscape (the bottom, the scene)Middle landscape (the landscape of everyday spaces meaningful experiences, or memories of experiences)Near Landscape (the living spaces, the "rooms" of the landscape)

You can find yourself in situations of contemporary perception of the three types of landscapes.

But in the context of perceptual criterion must be considered not only visual perceptions, but also the hinabitants perception of their territory.

• But there are other possible criteria for the identification of the scope of the landscape, which should be taken into account simultaneously:

Criterion of "visual basin" (perceptual criterion)

Criterion of "morphological boundaries"

Criterion of cultural and social homogeneity

• Criterion of existing and possible uses

• Criterion of environmental relationships and interdependencies
