Exploring human dimensions of multifunctional landscapes through mapping and map-making

摘要

The question of the relationship between humans and their environment has been one of the geographers' main challenges during this century. It has been approached from different geographical angles using various methodologies. Maps have always been present in geographical research and they constitute important means in research within other disciplines as well. Mapping and map-making, however, implies many theoretical questions, which have to be taken into account particularly when used in human landscape research.
