Title : LANDSCAPE CHANGE IN MENTAL IMAGE OF ITS RESIDENTS
Abstract : Cultural landscape went through many changes during the last seventy years. It is possible to measure this change by many ways, including comparative methods. However, is it really the right activity? While there are number of references and land-use maps, old residents are dying. In that sense there is a last chance to record an origin mental image of the landscape. The Project Landscape Memory as a Rural Heritage – The Changes of Czech Cultural Landscape in The Mental Reflection of its Inhabitants aims to identify a unique local identity and create a theoretical base applicable in territorial planning. The methodology consists of following steps: to elaborate typology of contemporary landscape, to define landscape values for the next investigation, to select case study areas. Subsequently the field research will be realized, aimed at own evaluation of the landscape values, perception of the cultural landscape and its changes by seniors (65+) and young people. A synthesis will be based on the comparison of “objective” landscape development using statistical data and aerial photographs and “mental” landscape development hidden in the perception of the people. The two-year project started in January 2014. The aim of this paper is to present a research, which has been carried out till these days. The identified landscape values varied in each of investigated landscape types. Up to now these results confirm how much an individual and a holistic approach is essential.
