The Observatori del Paisatge (Landscape Observatory of Catalonia) is an advisory body of the Government of Catalonia and Catalan society in general in matters of landscape. Its creation responds to the need to study the landscape, prepare proposals and sensitise Catalan society to the need for better protection, management and planning of the Catalan landscape in the framework of sustainable development. One of the main purposes of the Observatori del Paisatge is to increase knowledge of Catalan landscapes among Catalan society and to support the application in Catalonia of the European Landscape Convention. In this sense, the Observatori del Paisatge will be the meeting point between the Government of Catalonia, local authorities, the universities, professional groups and Catalan society in general, in everything referring to the management and preservation of the landscape.( observatory,naval observatory,earth observatory,the observatory,palomar observatory) Cloister of the Hospici building in Olot, headquarters of the Observatori del Paisatge The Observatori del Paisatge, therefore, seeks to become a centre for the study and monitoring of the evolution of landscape in Catalonia and the factors conditioning change. It also aspires to become a point of reference for scientific and technical research in matters of landscape. The Observatori del Paisatge, in short, is conceived as a centre of thought and action in relation with the landscape.( health observatory,solar observatory,national observatory,astronomy observatory) The Observatori del Paisatge is organised as a consortium and is included in the Act for protection, management and planning of the landscape in Catalonia.
