dc.description.abstract | Rural landscapes have been slow to gain recognition as an important historic and cultural resource. In 1982 a pioneering study of rural landscapes took place in Lane County, Oregon. Despite the groundbreaking nature of this study, it has largely been ignored in the years since its completion. The case study presented here is a reexamination of a small portion of Lane County that was documented in the original survey in order to determine the ways in which the rural landscape has changed over the last thirty years. The findings of the comparison illustrate a picture of a rural landscape that is changing in some subtle and not so subtle ways. This case study provides a better understanding of the conditions of the rural landscape in Lane County and illuminates the necessity to recognize the rural landscape as an important cultural resource. | en_US |
