Abstract

The cultural landscape impacts our senses, our activities, interferes in decision-making, judgment, and values and in communication with the urban space. The interrelated dimensions, necessary for understanding the perception of the cultural landscape are the physical, social, and symbolic dimensions. In this article, we address the perception of the landscape in historical centers in the physical (categories: group/dispersal, integrate/segregate, attract/repel, open/close, walk, sit, and stand) and social (categories: necessary, optional, and social) dimensions.
