  • Resource landscapes
  • Landscapes defined by ownership
  • Supernatural landscapes

  • Defined boundaries in the landscape.

 Note that this academic journal is free and open-access and is read by a wide international audience of academics and landscape practitioners. It is our intent to promote this special issue widely to stimulate debate and to provide further material for follow-up issues. We would like see this develop into a wider audience examining indigenous expression in landscape using wider-world exemplars and writings. Also, if you decide to contribute to one article, you will be asked to review two other articles. The reviewing process will be done with complete anonymity. Your text can include visual aids: images, sketches, plans, figures, diagrams (in high resolution – 300 dpi or above) are welcome with proper full referencing and permissions.
