ALBA, María Isabel. Application of the Landscape Character Assessment methodology in the study and treatment of the urban landscape. Estoa [online]. 2019, vol.8, n.16, pp.250-275. ISSN 1390-9274. https://doi.org/10.18537/est.v008.n016.a011.
At present, we are witnessing a great wealth of theoretical and methodological contributions related to the study, assessment and action in the landscape. Among them, those of a partial nature prevail, valid exclusively for certain landscapes, predominantly natural or rural. This has led to a situation of theoretical, conceptual and methodological helplessness when dealing with those landscapes of an urban nature. This raises the need to introduce a turn in this trend that aims to address in a more profound way the study and treatment of these landscapes. This aspect is also reinforced by the enactment of the European Landscape Convention (ELC). This article supports the hypothesis that it is the British Landscape Character Assessment methodology that is the most revealing in this regard. Therefore, in the following pages we will stop to analyze this methodology in depth with the objective of knowing more about it, assessing its adequacy to the postulates that the ELC establishes, in the end, to prove its validity when it comes to advancing in the definition of a theoretical and methodological corpus that contemplates the study and in-depth treatment of the urban landscape from its specificity.
