Prototype Landscape Catalogue

Through its novel character and its importance in spatial planning in Catalonia, the Landscape Observatory has prepared a Prototype Landscape Catalogue which establishes a basic conceptual, methodological and procedural outline to ensure that the seven catalogues are put together in a coherent and coordinated way.

In 2005 this document was presented to more than 70 institutions, research groups and landscape experts in order to obtain the maximum consensus as to its contents, and it was the subject of a first review in May 2006.

Now, with all the landscape catalogues completed and approved by the Catalan Ministry of the Territory and Sustainability, it is the best time to explain their preparation methodology in a publication: Landscape catalogues of Catalonia. Methodology. This publication explains and records the methodology used for preparing the seven landscape catalogues and is, at the same time, a basis and a precedent for future methodological tools.
