Abstract
Although biological diversity has been emphasized as means of regional development, it has not worked successfully. One reason maybe that it has not been paid enough attentions on several aspects of the region, such as regional culture and tradition. This paper introduces cultural landscape as a key concept, which has been introduced by the World Heritage Committee, and has been seen as one kind of regional developing tool. First, we give a summary account of cultural landscape, and then examine the relationship between cultural landscape and regional resources. Finally, we reveal the implication of cultural landscape in regional development.
