Conformités des paysages ruraux et parc naturels wallons : l’exemple du parc naturel de la Vallée de l’Attert

摘要

The landscape of a nature park is not a relic landscape but a living cultural landscape. The paper questions the conformity of the landscape in the regional nature park of the Attert valley. It analyses more specifically (1) the conformity to the natural environment and the economic context, (2) the conformity from a semiotic or cultural point of view, and (3) the recognition and the management of the landscape as heritage. It states that few landscape features are preserved from the past. Nevertheless the landscape of the Attert valley maintains an identity due to old settlements, and the influence of the natural environment. The rural policy of renovation since 1970, together with the regional nature park activities, and the coming landscape Charter are useful tools to manage the landscape. However, these tools experience trouble with restraining the increase of real-estate due to the proximity of the Great Duchy of Luxembourg.
