THE POLITICS, HEALTH, AND BIOCULTURAL HERITAGE IN THE EUROPEAN LANDSCAPE CONVENTION AND IN THE VIENNA MEMORANDUM

Abstract

The question of landscape has been dominated by the professional interpretation that each discipline has given to this concept, so we can approach it from a multitude of approaches and possibilities and, although it seems to start from an absolute objectification, the reality is that it seems more and more subjective. this discipline. There are currently two international normative instruments, the European Landscape Convention dedicated to European countries, and the Vienna Memorandum with an international focus, which together have sought to give clarity and breadth to this landscape issue. This article analyzes these documents and their scope in the relationship of the landscape with politics, health and biocultural heritage, and of course the socioeconomic factor that affects and significantly modifies the three previous topics, always referring to what happens in European countries, since as the article explains, there is little development of this issue and, therefore, of public policies in Mexico. The objective would be to be able to expand on the subject in the search for greater knowledge about the landscape today.
