The adoption of the European Landscape Convention has required a process of revision and adaptation of national and local laws. In Spain, despite the difficulty in reorganising European standards at all levels of territorial administration, this adoption has resulted in a number of remarkable landscape valorisation projects, including the Guide to the Cultural Landscape of the Ensenada de Bolonia supplemented by the Implementation Plan, as an outcome of research carried out by the Andalusian Institute of Historical Heritage (IAPH). The projects have been nominated for the European Council Landscape Prize for 2018-19, a reward granted to outstanding projects, for achieving high-quality landscape goals.

The Author – ethnologist and anthropologist of culture – defends the thesis that rural landscape is an important component of cultural heritage. Virtual “cyberspaces” as - sume the role of an alternative life environment. Physical space loses the basis for explaining the world and for shaping human experience. The degraded rural cultural landscape is the proof of erroneous conceptions and rural space gathers the effects of a deficit of sensibility to “long continuance”. In opposition to postmodernist assessments the Author objects to the attempts at destabilising culture. Culture is significant. The protection of rural landscape as a particularly sensitive and valuable quality has a sense. In the conclusion of her article the Author suggests that a more thorough humanistic reflection is needed to make it possible to optimally implement the recommendations of the European Landscape Convention.

Recent Policy

The most important recent policy initiative concerning quality and diversity, as well as natural and cultural landscape's values within all Europe is European Landscape Convention. The Convention was adopted by Council of Europe's Community of Ministers on 20th October 2000., in Firenze, Italy. The main goal of the Convention is protection, planning and management of the landscape as important part of the quality of life for people living everywhere: in urban areas and in countryside, in degraded areas as well as in the areas with high quality and those recognized as being of outstanding beauty. Serbia has singed Convention on 21 of September 2007. Diversity and quality, the cultural and natural values linked to European landscapes are part of Europe's common heritage, and it is important to co-operate towards its protection, management and planning According to explored international experiences, landscape plan, with its known methodology, is recognized as the most suitable tool in the most Countries which have already implemented European Landscape Convention. As to situation in Serbia, landscape planning is not treated in adequate or appropriate way within system of spatial planning. On the basis of the recent European experiences regarding The European Landscape Convention, the paper will underline the inevitability of landscape planning integration into the spatial planning system at the national, regional and city level, in Serbia.

This chapter is the first part of an exploration into the history and meaning of landscapes, based on a case study of the “must-see” scenic spots or Eight Views (bajing 八景) of Linfen County in the south of China's Shanxi province. County histories not only include poems and travel accounts describing these places, but often also, from the 18th century onwards, images representing them. They are thus well-documented places, which makes it possible to trace fragments of their history and draw conclusions about the relationship between humans and their physical environment. This part of the study focuses on how the physical environment interlocked with the historical heritage of a place to form a cultural landscape that gave identity and meaning to a place and its people.

The Peloponnese, with its diverse and varied landscapes, positioned at the crossroads of land and sea connections between West and East, and having a rich archaeological and historical heritage, is one of the most significant regions of the Mediterranean world. Yet, while the special qualities of the region’s landscape are well known to geologists and environmentalists, the evolution of its historical sites and landscapes is much less understood. There has been a prioritization of certain periods, sites, and types of data – with a tendency to focus on the Classical and earlier periods – which has resulted in a disparity in the evidence collected for the various periods of its past. The importance of the medieval landscape is fundamental, as during this period the structure of the modern natural and cultural landscape took shape, such as the patterns of agricultural exploitation and settlement distribution. The medieval landscape formed a dynamic backdrop to people’s daily lives, providing the basis for their sense of place and identity.

AbstractThe author discusses recent Slovenian historiography on the Second World War, establishing that numerous high quality works were written before 1990, and before the breakup of Yugoslavia. These works, however, put the history of the liberation struggle into the foreground. In the 1980s, historians started to research several topics that had previously gone unstudied. This decade saw a process of democratization in Slovenia, and new archival materials became accessible. Scholars researching the war after 1990 can be roughly divided into three camps: those with a continued interest in the liberation movement and the partisan war; those who take an apologetic stance towards the issue of collaboration, maintaining that the war in the Slovenian lands was first of all a civil war that had been initiated by the communists; and, finally, those who have asked new questions and explored them in such a way that have put them at eye-level with European standards of scholarship.

Purpose. Review of world and domestic experience of ecological reconstruction of cultural landscapes. Methods. System analysis, a method of objective assessment using photofixation. Results. The examples of successful ecological reconstruction of cultural landscapes, realized thanks to the preservation of the historical context, the concept of respect for the “genius loci” as a metaphorical subject, which retains the unique characteristics of cultural landscapes and at the same time inspires the creation of landscapes of high aesthetic expressiveness and modern functionality, are considered. Conclusions. The above examples demonstrate the unlimited potential of landscape design in overcoming human alienation from nature, in filling the urban environment with a full life, in the successful branding of cities, and, as a result, in attracting tourists and investments. Such successful modern projects of revitalization and ecological reconstruction are possible when respect for the historical heritage, the historical cultural landscape is realized, when the “genius loci” is reborn and manifests itself as a metaphorical subject, on the one hand, preserving the unique characteristics of the transformed cultural landscapes, and on the other, the inspirer of giving landscapes a high aesthetic expressiveness, concentration of beauty, modern functionality.

With the rapid development of modern economy and the process of urbanization is faster, a large number of historical relics have been mercilessly destroyed in the urban reconstruction. In order to balance the contradiction between urban development and historical heritage and promote the harmonious development of new and old urban areas, it is necessary to research on the old urban areas from the perspective of historical landscape. Old urban area of Jingdezhen is taken as an example in this paper, the present situation of the reconstruction of the old city in Jingdezhen is analyzed. Then, by using the methodology of urban historical landscape, some specific methods for updating and designing the old urban area reconstruction of Jingdezhen is put forward, such as the elements of spatial form, urban texture, historical and cultural landscape elements, streets and alleys, the Changjiang River, public facilities and landscape sketches, and so on. A new design method of landscape transformation of old urban area is established. As the renewal method of respecting the urban history and cultural heritage is a very intelligent urban renewal model, it is found that the application of urban historical landscape in the old urban city is reasonable and effective, which is based on the development of the old urban area and pursues the coexistence of protection and development.

Ensuring and coordination of high quality indicators of materials in the foundry industry is necessary in the development of Ukraine's economy. High quality products need to be enshrined in new national standards, harmonized with international and European standards. Thus, the purpose of this work is to analyze national and international standards for quality indicators of vermicular graphite iron and their harmonization with each other. The foundry industry of Ukraine has developed mainly with the use of interstate standards - GOST, which differ significantly from European and international and requires coordination and other approaches to the development of new standards. Today there are a number of international standards: ISO, SAE, CEN, VDG, ASTM, JIS, GB, STAS, which regulate the properties of cast iron with vermicular graphite. Most standards define the range of permissible content of spherical graphite (0… 20%) in the structure of cast iron with vermicular graphite, as well as determine the shape of samples to determine the properties and provide for the determination of graphite on surfaces formed after machining castings. In accordance with the needs of the automotive industry, the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has created the standard SAEJ1887 JUL2002 for cast iron with vermicular graphite. The DSTU standard in force in Ukraine regulates only the temporary resistance to tensile and elongation laid down in the brand designation. Thus, the improvement, provision and harmonization of the national standard at the vermicular graphite iron by achieving high quality indicators of materials in the foundry industry, will ensure the stability of the technological production process, and further entry into international and European markets and a qualitatively new level of domestic engineering. An analysis of the current standards in Ukraine DSTU for cast iron with vermicular graphite is given, as well as its regulated mechanical properties and recommended chemical composition. The properties of similar international and European standards for cast iron with vermicular graphite according to ISO, SAE, CEN, VDG, ASTM, JIS, GB, STAS standardization are analyzed, as well as cross-references to ISO 16112 to other standard brands of the vermicular graphite iron. The conformity of brands of materials, depending on their chemical composition and mechanical properties given in GOST, international and European indicators is found out.
