Abstract

From the early Zionist settlement of Palestine (late 19th century), landscape planning in Palestine consisted of not only territorial planning but also of symbolic image and scenery planning, reflecting the role of the scenery for people’s identity, national pride, and source of income. This study analyses the different approaches to the concept of landscape in several of Israel’s national schemes and related legislations. In general, during the pre-state period, the image of the country was intended to represent both the connection to the nation’s biblical past and the modern era. Later, during the early state period, the natural landscape won prestige, and early parks were designed to appear natural, regretting the hectic development of the first decades of statehood. The emergence of the concept of the ‘cultural landscape’ (mainly since mid-1990s), changed preservation and development policies in accordance with global and local nationalistic tendencies.
