What is Mining Landscapes

Chapter 7
Handbook of Research on Methods and Tools for Assessing Cultural Landscape Adaptation
An anthropic product, defined by their inherently polarizations, by the geological resource location, and by determined referential elements. Hierarchically, they are organized through the topographical appropriation intended by the mining project, simultaneously functional and symbolic, cellular, resuming urban events in environments, generally rural in the Portuguese case.

Abstract
This chapter addresses the main existing issues concerning industrial heritage as a territorial resource for the revitalization or valorization of functional landscapes (former or existing). It addresses the conceptual framework of cultural landscape and its possibility as a “horizon concept,” as well as an object of intervention according to a territorial dimension. The proposal of “Cultural Landscape of Alentejo Pyrite” based on three mining sites—Lousal, Aljustrel, and São Domingos within the Iberian Pyrite—was designed to be a territorial project for mining landscapes. This is a previous response to an existing demand for operative methodologies that can convey a new paradigm of territorial planning, with emphasis on interdisciplinary and prospect views. It provides a voice to an architectural and urban planning point of view to these particular landscapes.
