  Abstract:  

Cultural landscapes in the Hills of Ciceu. People have intensified environmental change since their coming into being until the development of agricultural technologies and inventions. Thus, the progress of our civilization led to the transformation of natural landscape into a cultural one. This represents the mirror of the society and it can be defined as a group of elements under the incidence of the anthropic component, according to its economical, social-cultural or military needs and realized by total or partial modification of the natural landscape. Human intervention in the landscape and upon natural elements of the Hills of Ciceu, through the process of agricultural use of the territory, of the land clearing, of the development of the residential areas as well as of the ways of communication, led more and more to the replacement of the natural landscape with the built one. Once the civilizations appeared, modified landscapes have begun to be acknowledged, accepted, recorded, belonging to the specific of each human being, belonging to both urban and rural environment. The panoply of their representations is various, the more so as there are continuous modifications of the landscape’s view, modifications in the sense of evolution of one component or of a set of components, in the end, of the alteration of the landscape’s quality and the quality of the consumers of those landscapes.
