Index Preservation of the landscape


The "Belvedere" memorandum outlines policy on the maintenance and development of cultural/historical features in the landscape and in built-up areas, with a number of specific Belvedere areas being designated. Some of these are subject to planning protection. Planning protection also applies to other landscapes.

An incentives policy on valuable cultural landscapes was in place between 1994 and 2000.

The government intends improving the quality of 400 000 hectares of land in rural areas. Relevant experiments are going on in the form of pilot projects.
