Аннотация:Policies at multiple levels pronounce the need to encompass both social and ecological systems in governance and management of natural capital in terms of resources and ecosystems. An approach to knowledge production and learning about landscapes as social-ecological systems is to compare multiple case studies consisting of large spaces and places. We first review the landscape concept’s biophysical, anthropogenic; and intangible dimensions. Second, we exemplify how the landscape concept’s different dimensions can be used as a theoretical background to derive variables to derive sustainability indicator variables. Third, we review gradients in the three dimensions of landscape on the European continent, and use this for stratification of multiple case studies. We discuss how the landscape concept can be applied when encouraging collaboration and learning about sustainable development toward sustainability in social-ecological systems, and for analyses of multiple landscapes as case studies to understand the role of different approaches to governance and management in different contexts.
