Abstract
The landscape is a determinant in the construction of cultures and collective identities and it is an important tool for interpretation of the territory. In order to analyze the environmental quality of landscapes under the criteria of sustainability, it is necessary to understand the landscape in a comprehensive and holistic way in which, the cultural appraisal of a community in constant interaction with its environment, conditions the particular dynamics of its visual and spatial development and, therefore, determines the desirable environmental quality. Traditionally, a territory from the landscape perspective has been understood as a natural landscape or as an urban landscape. On the other hand, the cultural landscape that integrates them is the footprint of the work over the territory; it is the result of a social group action on a natural landscape. The cultural landscape is defined as a human registration on the territory. A cultural landscape is like a text that can be written and interpreted, but can also be rewritten constantly. Knowledge and landscapes dissemination as patrimony promote the citizen’s conscience, favor their sustainability and give social, economic and environmental benefits to the community. Landscape must be considered as a fact of general interest, as an environmental, cultural and productive patrimony, and as an inexhaustible source of knowledge in constant transformation which demands each time more social compromise.
