Abstract

Value systems are generally acknowledged to be a constitutive element of human life and certainly play a fundamental role in human-landscape interactions. Whereas, however, values form main factors within the most influential action theories, there is only little empirical knowledge about the role of values in landscape research. Based on existing knowledge on the role and nature of people’s value systems presented in a first part, the findings of two empirical studies on people- landscape interactions are re-interpreted on the background of two recent value concepts. The insights and difficulties encountered illustrate the potential of value-based landscape research and highlight challenges for future research.
