Abstract

The landscape crisis and the climate crisis strongly affect coastal landscapes in many coastal regions worldwide. Evidence shows that the difficulty of governing coastal regions has increased alongside the attractiveness of contemporary societies for settlements near the coastline. There is a growing debate in landscape governance conceptualisation and operationalisation, in landscape research. Despite the significant progress on this theme, empirical discussions on coastal landscapes are scarce, a trend already followed by landscape and coastal planning and management debates, highlighting the need for empirical research. This article explores this research gap, conducting an evolutionary analysis of the governance of the coastal region in Portugal, tracing the co-evolution of its institutions and actors since 1950 to understand whether the landscape concept has been integrated into the governance of the coastal region. Our research design comprised two main parts. Firstly, we conducted a literature review comparing the Portuguese landscape and coastal governance diachronic analysis with the evolution at the European level. Secondly, we undertook a content analysis of the principal legislative institutions over the analysed time frame. Results reveal that Portuguese governance evolution diverges somehow from European trends, particularly after the European Landscape Convention, and show that the integration of the landscape concept into the coastal governance system was strongly dependent on powerful actors, their particular interests, values and stocks of knowledge. Along its evolutionary path, the imperative for coastal landscape governance arises from recognising its pivotal role in addressing the intricate and interconnected challenges inherent to coastal regions, needing further research to advance its theoretical and empirical knowledge.

景观在沿海地区治理中发挥作用吗?从葡萄牙 1950 年以来的演变角度看
景观危机和气候危机对全世界许多沿海地区的海岸景观产生了强烈影响。有证据表明,随着当代社会对海岸线附近居民点的吸引力增加,治理沿海地区的难度也在增大。在景观研究中,关于景观治理概念化和可操作性的讨论日益增多。尽管在这一主题上取得了重大进展,但有关沿海景观的实证讨论却非常稀少,景观和沿海规划与管理的讨论也呈现出这种趋势,这突出表明了实证研究的必要性。本文探讨了这一研究空白,对葡萄牙沿海地区的治理进行了演变分析,追溯了自 1950 年以来其机构和参与者的共同演变,以了解景观概念是否已融入沿海地区的治理中。我们的研究设计包括两个主要部分。首先,我们进行了文献综述,将葡萄牙景观和沿海治理的非同步分析与欧洲层面的演变进行了比较。其次,我们对分析期间的主要立法机构进行了内容分析。结果表明,葡萄牙的治理演变在某种程度上偏离了欧洲的趋势,尤其是在《欧洲景观公约》之后,并表明景观概念融入沿海治理系统在很大程度上取决于有权势的参与者、他们的特殊利益、价值观和知识储备。沿着演变的道路,沿海景观治理的必要性来自于认识到其在应对沿海地区固有的错综 复杂和相互关联的挑战方面的关键作用,需要进一步研究,以推进其理论和经验知识。
