Abstract In my paper I would like to analyze two sections of space: natural and cultural landscape (in terms of historical geography) and their reflection in the toponymic landscape. The greater focus will be on those elements of the natural landscape (the shape of the surface, soil, flora, fauna) and cultural landscape (forms and types of settlements, defense system, administrative divisions and borders, economic organization and trade, ownership, communication and roads), which were most often recorded and most frequently used in Polish oikonymy over the centuries.

Road Landscape design does not exist independently in urban construction but intergrates into the urban cultures by design. This article discusses based on Huangshi Mining and Metallurgy culture the urban road design from the aspects of color, pavement, blind sidewalk, plants, and public environment facilities. Also it proposes the way of design that combines cultural landscape and natural landscape according to the city geographical features, therefore makes the urban road landscape design to be more cultural and representative.

Assassing the defensibility of the pre-colonial defensive architecture in Algeria: case study on the medieval fortified villagesAlgeria’s pre-colonial towns of the medieval period still exist in different typologies, ranging from the isolated buildings (forts, castles) and town enclosures to whole urban units (fortified villages, defensives towns). Indeed, the constituent of these fortresses was their defense system, characterized by its large dimension, constituted essentially by the enclosure wall, and architectural features of defensiveness correlated with the outside and the inside of the fortresses. This paper aims to evaluate the relationship between physical landscape, built defensive features and cultural values of the medieval fortified villages in Algeria, two medieval fortified villages in our case “Kalaa of Beni Abbes” in Bejaia and “Kalaa of Beni Rached” in Oran, that we identified as an evolved landscape and interpreted as complex system (both defensive architecture and continuing cultural landscape). This current study consists of quantifying the defensiveness degree of these sites situated within different contexts, in fact, this method ensures to identify the strategy adopted to be protected against different invasions. However, in order to achieve this we calculate a spatial defensiveness index (DI) of these sites. The parameters of our choice are related to the implantation site, the elevation, the visibility and the geometrical shape, which allow us to estimate the defensiveness degree of the defense system of our case studies.

The natural landscape of the pudong ancient town in Shanghai's waterfront with "bridges, water, people" rich in distinctive cultural landscape has always been popular. Rustic country setting and its rich cultural heritage have attracted many people to want to get to know it. Ancient town in Shanghai have been famous in the world too. "Authenticity" town folk culture is the essence of the town's cultural heritage. On one hand, the attention to the life of local residents and traditional architecture "authenticity" can revitalize traditional cultural heritage, promote tourism development and protection of ancient town. On the other hand, building ecology, energy conservation, and sustainability are the current world trend, most importantly the needs of the world's sustainable economic development. In this paper, taking Shao Jia Lou town house as an example for the transformation of the traditional waterfront interface, based on the waterfront interface environmental features, the adoption of the internal layout of the building materials and re-design the ventilation system, heating systems and new energy sources, ecological transformation has been carefully designed. In addition, some practical design studies have been done regarding the diversification of the use of small space. The precondition of making people aware of China's traditional ecological transformation of the waterfront interface is to extend the traditional culture, ancient town in Shanghai, protect and improve the waterfront environment and raise living standards.

The traditions, socio-economic conditions, habitational settings and the climatic factors of a society become stratified with the cultural values ​​and establish the current values of the cultural landscape. The significance of a rural landscape as cultural heritage is directly related to the existence of cultural values and cultural landscape, which constitutes the totality of the cultural values ​​should be preserved in order to ensure historical and cultural sustainability. The study area (Şavşat/Artvin, Turkey) has a rich value based on its cultural landscape and texture, given its rich biodiversity and the lifestyle of different cultures that shaped the traditional settlement. Certain routes were determined within the scope of the present study, with the aim to encompass the whole Şavşat. A method based on an inventory study was employed to analyze the 39 rural settlements and the values of the traditional cultural landscape ​​were quantified through scoring 8 parameters based on the existence or nonexistence of cultural values. The 5-point scoring was ranged as follows: very low, low, medium, high and very high. Based on this scoring, Yavuz village, Kocabey, Kirazlı, Kayadibi, Çoraklı, Şavşat Center, Ilıca, Maden were found have high, Cevizli, Maden, Köprülü and Çağlayan were found to have very high values for the cultural landscape. Consequently, it was indicated that identifying the values of the traditional cultural landscape through the scoring system based on the existence and nonexistence of cultural values with respect to certain parameters could contribute to the literature. It was considered that the findings of the present study could provide an important database in the regional/sub-regional scale for the conservation of cultural values with natural landscape resources and conveying these values to future generations.

This article examines the ways in which Zionist intellectuals interacted with Arabo-Islamic culture in the Yishuv by looking into the cultivation of Islamicate knowledge pertinent to land and nature and its impact on the construction of the Jewish cultural landscape. I argue that in establishing a connection between Jews and the natural landscape of Palestine/ Israel, Jewish intellectuals relied on Arabo Islamic culture and its centuries of knowledge about the flora and the land itself. In their search to comprehend the flora and place names of the land of the Bible, Jewish individuals consulted Arabo-Islamic sources, finding them instrumental to their national enterprise. The culmination of these endeavors is that, in addition to Jewish and Western sources, Islamicate culture was one of the wellsprings from which Jewish intellectuals drew in shaping the emergent culture in the Yishuv and the early decades of the State of Israel.

This chapter reconsiders monumental architecture as everyday, both for people in the past and archaeologists today. Since the authors see sediments as evidence akin to artifacts, they assert that it is capable of being interpreted in many of the same ways. How a mound site is prepared; where the earth comes from; how it was moved; and the ways it was built up, shaped, packed down, and repaired are all important considerations for understanding not just the engineering of the mounds (and make no mistake, the native mound builders were sophisticated earthen engineers) but also the organization and mobilization of labor; the deployment of resources; and the social, cultural, and symbolic values of the builders. Born out of the natural landscape and created as a central places in the cultural landscape, mounds were essential parts of everyday routines, planning, and memory.

Esta prática tem como intuito propor a linguagem fílmica como recurso didático no ensino de Geografia, pois acreditamos que o cinema é uma arte capaz de aproximar os fenômenos geográficos, que podem parecer distantes do universo escolar, a realidade dos alunos. Com base nos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais: Geografia (PCN’s) de 1998, desenvolvemos uma proposta de plano de aula com o a utilização do Filme Rio 2, à luz do entendimento dos elementos geográficos presentes no quarto ciclo do ensino fundamental, em específico o nono ano. A proposta de plano de aula encontra-se sustentada, principalmente nos escritos de Dollfus (1972), Santos (2014), Claval (2014), Costa (2013), Castrogiovanni (2007), Chaui (2000), Santos et al (2011) e Tuan (2012). A proposta metodológica é uma crítica às práticas pedagógicas tradicionais, conhecidas como mnemônicas, que tem por objetivo a memorização de conteúdos, e não contextualizam com o meio em que os estudantes estão inseridos. O filme Rio 2 é uma produção da Blue Sky, sobre a direção do brasileiro Carlos Saldanha, e seu gênero perpassa aventura, comédia e animação. Desse modo, apresenta-se como uma excelente mídia para a discussão geográfica dos conceitos: paisagem, paisagem natural, paisagem cultural, espaço geográfico, território e ralação sociedade e natureza. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Paisagem. Sociedade e natureza. Cultura. Ensino de Geografia. CINEMA AND TEACHING GEOGRAPHY: the use of the Rio 2 film in the classroom - a didactic proposal in addition to the landscapes ABSTRACT This educational practice intends to propose the filmic language as didactic resource in the teaching of Geography, because we believe that the cinema is an art capable of approaching the geographic phenomena, which may seem distant from the school universe, the reality of the students. Based on the Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais: Geografia (PCN’s) of 1998, we developed a lesson plan proposal with the use of the Rio 2 Film, in light of the understanding of geographic elements present in the fourth cycle of elementary education, specifically the ninth year. The proposal of the lesson plan is based mainly on the writings of Dollfus (1972), Santos (2014), Claval (2014), Costa (2013), Castrogiovanni (2007), Chaui (2000), Santos et al (2011) and Tuan (2012). The methodological proposal is a critique of the traditional pedagogical practices, known as mnemonics, that aim to memorize contents, and do not contextualize with the environment in which the students are inserted. The film Rio 2 is a production of Blue Sky, directed by the Brazilian Carlos Saldanha, and its genre perpasses adventure, comedy and animation. In this way, it presents itself as an excellent medium for the geographical discussion of the concepts: landscape, natural landscape, cultural landscape, geographic space, territory and society and nature.

Abstract A change in livelihood and folk architecture is an indicator of cultural landscape transformation, which is often the result of changes occurring in the natural and socio-political realms. The diversity of architectural types of buildings as an element of landscape diversity distinguishes our research region. The presented study deals with a long-term change of housing and architectural types of settlements. Our goal was to identify, geolocalise, and classify the vernacular architecture of Samtskhe-Javakheti within the different types of natural landscapes. For this purpose, we used the HGIS (Historical Geoinformation System) approach, which comprises the application of both historic sources and GIS technologies. We identified seven types of buildings in the study area, the characteristics of which depended on the natural landscape features. The following factors had been determining the geography of the construction: geology, seismicity, terrain, climate, access to building materials and defence. Dominant architectural types of buildings in the study region were as follows: fortress Rabat with stone houses, stone houses, semi-underground houses mixed with stone houses, semi-underground houses, terraced semi-underground houses, cave dwellings and wooden log houses. In modern times, it is quite rare to come across these kinds of architectural buildings, and there is a tendency of their disappearance.
