Résumé en anglais
One of our deepest needs is for a sense of identity and belonging. A commondenominator in this is human attachment to landscape and how we find identity in
landscape and place. Landscape therefore is not simply what we see, but a way ofseeing: we see it with our eye but interpret it with our mind and ascribe values to
landscape for intangible – spiritual – reasons. Landscape can therefore be seen as acultural construct in which our sense of place and memories inhere. Critical to this has
been the increasing attention given to the study of cultural landscapes, even to theextent of recognition in 1992 of World Heritage Categories of
outstanding culturallandscapes. The paper explores some of the associated ideas of landscape and memory
and how landscape permeates much of our thinking of who we are with some focus onAsia as the cultural landscape idea gains ground in this region of the world.
