Abstract: This paper addresses the complexity of change processes and related management challenges of rural landscapes. With a reference to the European Landscape Convention, a need for integrated and collaborative approaches to landscape governance is discussed. A landscape strategy-making approach with the potential to meet such demands is introduced. Two examples where the approach has been applied are analysed in respect of processes and immediate outcomes, including goals, spatial plans and strategic projects. With reference to the cases, the applied model is discussed within a wider landscape governance perspective. It is concluded that the model represents a way forward towards a more inclusive, integrating and pro-active landscape governance. Landscape strategy making is suitable for bringing different types of landscape-related challenges and perspectives together with different forms of collaboration and social capacity building to guide rural landscape developments. However, the approach cannot replace traditional land use regulations.
