Landscape is in fact one of the fundamental dimensions of territory that reflects the interaction of nature, human settlement and history.City functions and their associated networksare an important and impacting factor in the development and change of landscape. This development in several cases is managed within the metropolitan boundaries and does not include also urban-rural interaction, which needs to be managed not only in an institutional framework and need to be understood at the local level. In this complexity, identifying, characterizing, evaluating are fundamental tools for planning and manage this complex urban-rural interaction, which is already an urgent issue at the global scale.
