ABSTRACT

The vision of a widely inter-disciplinary and integrated field of landscape studies has in recent years taken a much wider hold on the scientific and academic imagination of all those working in the many disciplines concerned with landscape research, understanding and practice. Inter-disciplinarity is now a commonplace aspiration in the field and even though the difficulties of attaining such a goal remain manifold, it might be said that a post-disciplinary position is already becoming the next horizon to reach. The European Landscape Convention has also provoked a coming-together of various landscape-focused disciplines and has become a widely used framework for teaching, study and practice.
