Landscape areas in the province of Latina

Abstract

The concept of landscape is characterized by many attributions and interpretations according to the field or fields of study which use it and the perception of its role varies according to the guiding principles applied. This article starts with the definition of landscape in the European Convention on Landscape: “a specific part of land, as perceived by the people (living there) whose characteristics come from the action of natural factors and/or human ones and from their interrelationships, “and uses the methodology followed by the province of Latina understood as parts of a territory which have similar climatic, morphological and litholitic conditions, within which certain types of fauna and flora exist and secondarily, the action of man and the way he uses the territory and the transformations which he has made on it and which he continues to make. The methodology used is based in part on the Hierarchical Classification of the territory devised by C. Blasi, adapted to this specific case.
