Explaining the Landscape Approach
The Landscape Approach[1] is a framework for the management of land and land-uses in a integrated and holistic fashion. The genre of “landscape approaches” arose in response to the trade-offs that need to be made between conservation and development tradeoffs. The landscape approach recognises the need to address the priorities of people who live and work within the landscapes concerned even when they conflict with the traditional goals of conservation. Non-alignment between these two sets of objectives has historically posed a problem with no clear definitive formulations.
The approach recognises that prevailing jurisdictional boundaries and fragmented administrative systems are mismatched with the multifunctionality of landscapes. At its heart, the framework strives to move beyond this segregated land administration, which fails to acknowledge the profound interconnections and mutual interests that exist between land uses. Land governance can only be optimised if governing structures match the sets of overlapping ecological, socio-cultural and economic networks that constitute a landscape, with decision-making moving from hierarchical silos to complex, adaptive and inclusive network structures.
