SPACE, TERRITORY, LANDSCAPE: LOOKING FOR A CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION

Abstract

Human societies determine the characteristics of its territory by revealing the landscape; it shows how important it is to seek the relationship between territory and landscape, and no doubt, examine what we consider as a starting point for this debate, which is the concept space. The search for a connection between these categories has proved a hard work and difficult to achieve and that is why this article aims to search for this conceptual connection between these categories-concepts. In the debate, it was possible to perceive that Space, Territory, Landscape and Time, are interlinked in one way or another; however, that connection grows stronger as we also consider the so-called "territorialization processes", representing the action of society on the space, physically transforming its landscape and giving it the characteristics of the territory. Thus, the relationship between the concepts discussed is found through the processes of territorialization that usually present themselves as forms of landscape change through the actions of society. Such processes are essential to understanding the transformations of the landscape and should best be used in studies and research on the subject.
