From the perspective of sociology, political science, planning and social geography it was of interest how cultural landscapes are constituted through subjective attributions of meanings in everyday-speech acting, discourses and discourse coalitions, the coordination of sectoral institutional systems as well as (cultural) landscape understandings in landscape planning.
