| Summary: | The consequence of multiple existing relationships between the different social agents and those between these agents and the environment in which they live in a continuous process of transformation of their living spaces, is clearly manifested in the landscapes. When resulting from historical constructions, this landscape fills a given spatial reality with senses, symbols, identity, and feelings of groups. To this effect, this study discusses how modifications to the constituents of the landscape can change the meanings and the identity recognitions of social groups in their own living spaces. This article tries to understand the concepts and characteristics of landscape as well the way in which it has been formed as a result of the economic, social, cultural, and political dynamics of social groups. We consider that this same landscape is not limited to perceptions from local sensorial stimulations, but that it is composed of multiple interactions of different cultural and identity phenomena that, over multiplicity of scales, represent a dynamic mosaic of complex realities. |
