Abstract
The history of what we now call landscape research followed many different paths and several important conceptual changes occurred. To understand this we must consider the multiple meanings the word ‘landscape’ has, as well as the context of society and technology. As the roots of the word ‘landscape’ are found in Western Europe, the perspective of this review will start there.
