Corridors of Value Rural Land in Rural Life

Herbert Gottfried

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1996, vol. 12, issue 01

Abstract: People’s intense experiences with the land have enhanced the cultural value of rural areas. Most rural landscapes are “constructed”—that is, they show a many-layered history of human intervention. Cultural conservation holds an important place in rural policy because it reinforces the sensory experience of the rural landscape and strengthens landscape’s role as a symbol of stability.
