Sammendrag
This chapter presents the results of an analysis of usages of the con cept "cultural landscape" in a selection of official documents from N orway and Norden, and indicates how variations in usage reflect diffe rent attitudes and values in different administrative sectors. The hi story of the concept "cultural landscape" in academic literature is f irst briefly presented. Different ways in which the concept is unders tood in different official documents are then summarized. Misundersta ndings can arise because formerly more or less separate landscape dis courses, based on separate although overlapping values, have come tog ether in a common discourse promoted by a new focus on the cultural l andscape by public bodies from the mid-1980s. The principal administr ative sectors engaged in this discourse are the agricultural authorit ies, nature conservation authorities, cultural heritage authorities a nd local planning authorities.
