Thiseffect not only can be identified from archaeological remains, but also from old andmodern maps showing changes in the landscape character in terms of historical attributesand remains. In order to study and manage the historical dimension of these changes,characterisation-based approaches have been developed. This article describes the maincharacteristics and principles of these approaches and their possible evolution in the future.The article also shows some applications that have been made in England with the purposeof illustrating the potential of characterisation-based approaches to manage historiclandscapes in other countries.
