Resumen
Interest in the peri-urban landscape has grown steadily over the last decade as researchers seek to clarify the character of the space that links the urban and rural environment. However, peri-urban typologies and different perspectives on the relation between peri-urban, urban and rural areas remain unresolved. The present study hypothesizes that exploration and discussion of the views and attitudes of peri-urban landscape users within the frame of current planning-related concepts and practices may make this complexity easier to understand. Using focus groups and interviews, the findings highlight some discrepancies between decision-makers’ knowledge and opinions and users’ views and use of the peri-urban landscape. The study concludes that more inclusive and sustainable planning of peri-urban areas in the future will depend on gathering information about what is going on in the peri-urban landscape.
