Cultural landscape

From Freepedia

Cultural landscape is defined as the human-modified environment, including fields, houses, church, highways, planted forests, and mines, as well as weeds and pollution.

A cultural landscape is defined as "a geographic area,including both cultural and natural resources and the wildlife or domestic animals therein, associated with a historic event, activity, or person or exhibiting other cultural or aesthetic values." There are four general types of cultural landscapes, not mutually exclusive: historic sites, historic designed landscapes, historic vernacular landscapes, and ethnographic landscapes.
