The European Landscape Convention has pointed out the cultural, ecological, environmental and social relevance of landscapes, to ‘achieve sustainable development based on a balanced and harmonious relationship between social needs, economic activity and the environment’. Among the specific measures listed in Article 6 is the need to also promote ‘multidisciplinary training programmes’.

The human and social sciences are privileged fields for the synchronous and diachronic study of human interactions with landscapes, in all their complexity.

Landscapes, at least in Europe, are the result of human action and can be approached from diverse disiplines. History, cultural studies, economics, sociology or geography have all identified landscapes and analysed their features, along with the powers and pressures that transform them. Landscapes are linked to environmental transition, territorial management and the establishment of just relationships between people and the landscapes they inhabit.
