Abstract

The paper have to object the analysis, conduct through the graphical representation, of the anthropic and physical signs of the landscape of Planargia (a geographic region situated in the northwest of Sardinia). The inquired territory is characterized for the variety of landscapes; one of these is representative of the rural settlements system that rotate around the city of Bosa: the rural landscape. The reading of the regional cartography tells of a rich area favourable to the intensive cultivation characterized by a network of settlements strongly linked to each other by a tight net of connections and the name of the places trace and confirm an historic rural use of this area. A use of the territory, than in spite of the recent modifications induced from a uncontrolled building activity, has maintained some elements that define the design of forms and colours of rural landscape and confer to such within a oneness character: the terracing. The terracing represent a system of construction of landscape diffused in the Mediterranean area; in some areas of Sardinia, and in particular in Planargia, we can find many examples of terraced hills tied to the intensive cultivation. Aesthetic qualities, natural materials, the harmony of the architectures and the spaces, constitute a rare example of organic relation with the landscape and the natural atmosphere; these elements are able to guarantee the territorial identity and deserving of a deepened study that can place the bases for a development of the territory.
