Abstract:

According to the historical and territorial context of Europe and America, the concept of landscape, like many others, was characterized by its polysemy until the mid-seventeenth century. It was not until the late seventeenth century that it began to find spaces for development and application in different disciplines, from painting to science. In the geographical sphere, the essence of the concept of landscape has been transformed according to the needs of the territories, schools, and approaches. A theoretical and methodological model has been adopted today, where new trends such as integrated landscape management have emerged. In this context, this paper focuses on recognizing the main evolutionary paths of the concept of landscape, in its transience, from different concepts to what has been called integrated landscape management, to define the trends and scope of the most recent notions in Mexican territory, being able to apply these approaches in other territories towards the adoption of this theoretical-practical-functional conceptualization for the improvement of decision-making that is more consistent with reality.
