Landscape Policy in the Autonomous Community of Andalusia, Spain:

Attempt to Unify the Interventions Taken in Sectoral Policies

Abstract

The Autonomous Community of Andalusia is counted as one of the regions with greatest political interest in landscape in Spain, along with the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. However, unlike Catalonia, due to the lack of landscape law, measures and actions related to landscape policy have been dispersed among multiple ministries and agencies, below the vertical division of administrative structure. In this research, the author intends to analyze some measures and projects implemented by three ministries and agencies of the government of Andalusia, paying special attention to cartographic materials related to the landscape management and planning elaborated by them.
