ANALYSIS OF RURAL LANDSCAPE

A rural landscape is a mix of a biotic, abiotic, and anthropotic landscape because it has the isolation of the abiotic landcapes, the life of the biotic lanscapes and the variety of the anthropotic landscapes.
 

It is an inland agricultural landcape. It is not a steep landscape because it is a plain, but sometimes we can find a hill, but they are not very tall. The climate is not very hot or cold, and it rains more than in Andalucía but it doesn´t rains as in Galicia. The vegetation is basically formed of small trees and shrubberys.
 
 The plots are private, small-sized because they have less than 1 hectare and they have an irregular shape, that means they don´t follow a special pattern. The fields are bocage because in the image they are surrounded by roads or small trees.

The cultivation system is irrigated because plants need water, and in extensive farming because there are no greenhouses in the picture. The method used to cultivate the plants is not very modern-mechanized beacuse they are small plots, this means it is not profitable to buy a big tractor to work the land, for these reason they continue using the old methods.


The settlement in the picture isn´t nucleated, it follows a linear pattern along a river. The town is growing toward the left side of the river. Houses are small, they also look like if they were made out of rock and painted with lime because they are white, and I think roofs are of slate because they are blue.
 
The land in the picture seems that is also used to raise livestock because there are some big sheds dispersed in the image. I think they mainly raise cows and sheeps because there are big plots of green land where they can eat. It isn´t an old or a very big village and it´s in middle of the countryside so I don´t think they have a lot of tourism or a residential use.
 
This town is big enough to have a small clinic, a small primary school or electricity, the basic things to live now a day, and I don´t think it has. This town has an ageing population and the only way to solve it is creating jobs like a factory or a company that attract people to the town. There aren´t any infraestructure except a principal road that goes through the town but I can´t see any telecommunication tower, and I don´t know if in that there is coverage, if don´t, a way solve it is putting one tower, the tower doesn´t needs to be only for that village, they can also build one for all the surrounding area.
