Since the mid-1990s, landscape has increasingly become a topic in spatial sciences; around the same time, the term gained significance in political and programmatic documents. Dorothea Hokema examines not so much the physical space but rather the concept of landscape. The starting point of the investigation is the view that landscape is a social construction that varies depending on culture, socialization, or interests. From this social constructivist perspective, the similarities and differences in understandings of landscape in spatial sciences, planning practice, and everyday language are analyzed. Contradictions and agreements within and between the discourses are identified and placed in both historical and current societal contexts. As a result, a model of the contemporary concept of landscape is developed.
