Résumé en anglais
Cultural landscapes typically comprise intangible as wellas tangible elements, both 'natural' and 'modified'. To
their regular users, whose cultures have constructed themat least in part, these landscapes have significant
meanings. Sometimes the cultural significance of suchlandscapes are obvious even to outsiders, but typically,
even in those cases, hidden meanings and levels ofsignificance are real to some and not to others. In the
general South African context of rapid population growth,urbanization and new settlement establishment, both the
identification and the management of intangible elementsof cultural landscapes has to be strongly tied to
contemporary developments: in other words, themanagement of cultural landscapes, on the one hand, has
to be conceptually and practically linked to developmentplanning and spatial adaptations, on the other. Utilizing a
range of material from South Africa, the paper makesproposals for an appropriate conceptual and
methodological framework for the proper conflation ofintangible elements, when consideration is given to policy
concerning cultural landscapes and planning.
