Abstract (in English)

The paper explores government encouraged industrial developments in the name of climate change mitigation and the impacts on the aesthetic and social values of rural cultural landscapes and rural lifestyles. The squandering of space and the disruption of spatial scale is also considered and discussed with regard to cultural landscapes. Examples of urban and rural landscapes are presented with an analysis of the effectiveness of heritage listings and the at times unjust and the arduous plight forced on rural communities by development impacts. The paper questions and discusses: (a)the role of aesthetics in the outstanding universal, national and local value of cultural landscapes, the scope of aesthetic value and how it has been applied to identify cultural landscape values in different countries; (b)the attempts but apparent failure of the cultural heritage discipline to provide adequate measures to establish the strength of cultural capital in the competing demands on the resource of physical space; and (c)the big picture and constructive approaches to improve the status of rural cultural landscapes and assist rural communities continue their lifestyle.
