- Abstract in English : OUTLINE: This article analyses the spatial distribution of the landscape relic zones in relation to the physical land qualities defined by soil conditions and slope, and cultural aspects such as the settlement site, the communal territories and boundaries in different landscape regions. The diversity of the cultural landscapes in Flanders is exceptionally high because land qualities vary over short distances, in particular soils and slopes. The main research question focuses upon the meaning of the designated landscape relic zones of the traditional landscape in relation to the landscape diversity and history.
