Provincial Landscape Policy (formerly National Landscapes) — Provinces (INSPIRE harmonised)

National landscapes are areas with internationally rare or unique and nationally distinctive landscape qualities, and associated with special natural, cultural historical and recreational qualities. Landscape, cultural history and natural qualities of national landscapes must be preserved, sustainably managed and strengthened where possible. Coherence, accessibility and liveability are also key concepts. The starting point is that national landscapes must be able to develop sufficiently socio-economically, while preserving and strengthening the special qualities of the area. This file contains information in accordance with the INSPIRE data specifications for protected areas. For more detailed information, please refer to the source file of the province concerned. More detailed information for the protected areas in the individual provinces can be found in the description of the provincial stocks on this subject.
