What is Landscape? Natural and humanized landscape

Do you know What is Landscape? THE landscape can be defined as everything that is in front of our eyes, that is, everything that the human senses can reach, so we can say that landscapes are part of our daily lives, as this will always be present in our lives.

On the way you go to school, you will be able to see the difference between the landscapes, whether it is a dense forest that is it is possible to see that there is no transformation by man and also the streets, houses and buildings, which are a result of the transformation human.

Landscapes and their differences

We can now classify the existing landscapes in the environment we inhabit, which are: Natural and Humanized Landscape.

What is Natural Landscape?

• The Natural Landscape is linked to natural elements, such as rivers, seas, mountains, forests, among others; these aspects of nature most often can undergo natural changes, due to some event natural, better known as natural disasters (cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons, landslides, floods, storms, tornadoes, etc.

What is Humanized Landscape?

• The Humanized or cultural Landscape is perceptible to human intervention, it is composed of elements created by man. It also shows that there is a mixture of natural and cultural elements, for example, on a street we can find several houses, buildings, trees and even rivers.

Thus, it is possible to see that the landscape is composed of many elements, such as people, animals, cars, buses, in addition to smells, sounds, heat, cold and even people's culture.

From this, it is possible to describe that certain cities, such as São Paulo, have in their composition the coming and going of people, many cars, pollution generated by car engines, it's a noisy city, full of the sounds of sirens, horns, it's the kind of city that “never sleeps". In other quieter places, such as farms, you can notice the singing of birds, the swaying of trees, the noise of a waterfall (waterfalls) and also that typical smell of forest and earth. Therefore, the landscape comprises the fusion of different elements, being them, the material elements, which are those that we can see, and the immaterial ones, those that we feel.

Landscapes and Inequalities

A very pertinent issue involving landscapes is inequality, since when there is human action, cultural landscapes reveal social inequalities that exist in each type of society. Since there are mansions on one side and a favela on the other, where the difference in income of these people is visible. Another example scenario is where you visualize a boy on the beach selling coconut water and a boy who is on vacation with his parents, taking boat trips and diving.

As we know, our country has a large income gap, where many have little income and few have a lot of money, the so-called social inequality. Unfortunately this scenario will be present in our daily lives.
