The overall aim of this project is to examine the outcome and cost in a societal context related to the use of Landscape Protection Areas (LPA) as a tool in landscape management and to assess whether this form of protection fulfils its aims.
Important sub-goals are to:
- Analyse land use and land cover changes in two samples of comparable landscapes with and without LPA status.
- Compare the development of agricultural practices and land use management within and between the two landscape samples.
- Compare farm economy and the allocation and use of agricultural subsidies in LPAs with trends in non-protected areas.
- Analyse the extent to which LPAs are spatially correlated with the development of landscape-based industries.
- Interview farmers to assess their perceptions of cost and values related to LPAs established on their land, and their understanding of the implications of this form of protection.
