Landscape Research, 2025, vol. 50, issue 4, 661-675

Abstract: This article investigates the case of Karla Lake in Central Greece, analysing the effects of landscape loss and the subsequent restoration after its recent overflow, following a long period of environmental rehabilitation. Through a spatial landscape-based approach, it examines historical and contemporary challenges associated with rural development, assesses the environmental and spatial consequences of the Karla restoration project, and highlights the need for robust landscape policies in an integrated recovery strategy, in line with the European Landscape Convention (ELC). The methodology relies on secondary data analysis. The study proposes a strategic recovery plan focused on integrated landscape management, participative governance, and sustainable practices to restore the landscape and bolster community resilience, offering actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders.
