Although landscape is experienced and use by all many different approaches exist and landscape research is diverging in specialised disciplines and applications are made for specific interest groups, the holistic nature of landscape becomes lost. The book demonstrates the potential of landscape as an integrating concept and gives handles for mutual transdisciplinary understanding. This is achieved by the analysis of the development of landscape research and its concepts in a dynamic historical perspective leading to the variety of disciplines and practices involved today.The book gives a comprehensive overview of the development of landscape research from its geographical origins to the wide variety of today's inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, involving many very different scientific disciplines and professions, as well as the participation of the public. The different perspectives and approaches are analysed and compared and their potential integration is presented based on common holistic concepts. These are found in the multiple meanings and use of the word landscape in different languages, the hierarchical, multi-scale and dynamical systems structure of the material landscape, and perceivable properties to any observer leading to existential meanings and values.â
