| Classical conservation approaches focus on the man-made degradation of ecosystems and tend to neglect the social-ecological values that human land uses have imprinted on many environments. Throughout the world, ingenious land-use practices have generated unique cultural landscapes, but these are under pressure from agricultural intensification, land abandonment, and urbanization. In recent years, the cultural landscapes concept has been broadly adopted in science, policy, and management. The interest in both outstanding and vernacular landscapes finds expression in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention, the European Landscape Convention, and the IUCN Protected Landscape Approach.

Alpine Regions with relatively stable situations (Austria, Switzerland) stand against those ones with major structural changes (Italy, Slovenia). The causes for these processes are manifold and concern cultural, agro-political,and economic as well as intra-farm factors. This study analyses form and dimension of the agro-structural change. Contrary to expectations, the Alpine regions did not always register a more significant structural change than non-alpine regions. Besides clear contrasts on the national and regional level, the analyses show that there are also parallels in the development of the agrarian patterns. In the Alps... |
