Landscape policies - the incontestable elements of a territory development

In recent decades landscape began to insert in the speech of political and and professionals factors as an important component of a territory construction, such as a component of framework for quality life construction. The landscape requires a harmonious and equilibrated construction between the two structures which define a territory: anthropogenic and natural environment. These arguments of landscape discourse find their support in landscape policies as local regulation elements. Thus by adopting the European Landscape Convention the landscape policies can be found at the leval of territory to prevent the depreciation, the trivialization of the of European landscape and even the loss of local identity. Landscape policies are aimed to strengthen the local image by sustaining traditions and natural elements. The two models of landscape policies shown in the article will expose two different approaches of the landscape. In the French Regional Natural Park, the landscape policies are used to expose the dynamic development of the territory, they represent one of the key points of the territorial valorisation. In Romanian Natural Park, we find a landscape approach directed to conservation and protection of natural and human environment within the protected area. Through these two models we will have a clear approach of landscape policies seen from two different angles: one refers to the progressive elements that stimulates a territory, and the other at the Romanian case, where in the absence of a landscape legislation the landscape is seen as a conservative component.
