This list is not complete, but it should help you to identify approaches that are suitable for your area. You may pick out 2-3 of them and develop your personal approach to this theme:
	* observe people and identify repeating aspects, these can be clustered to form patterns		* observe people and identify repeating aspects, these can be clustered to form patterns
			* ask people about what they frequently do in your area. This may give you additional information on summer activities which you may not find at the moment (at least not in Europe). You may also get some valuable information about people's attachment to the place.

New page

== Lecture by Professor Simon Bell on 'Reading the Landscape' ==

The lecture by Simon Bell included some revision of the layer theme but also gave an introduction into scope, objectives and methods of landscape character assessment, which is quite established in the U.K. The discussion concentrated on how to transfer this methods to the case of everyday landscapes in an urban/peri-urban context.

== Parallel Session ==
The parallel breakout rooms where used to present the findings of the layer analysis within the small groups. Time was very limited which is why part of this may need to be considered by studying the wiki pages. The next parallel sessions will be on the 13rd of December.

== Tasks for the next session ==
=== Landscape Layers ===
* In the lecture, two approaches have been mentioned:
** time based approach leading to a 'landscape biography'
** layering according to different information levels in the landscape such as geomorphology, topography, water, habitats, settlements, points of interest etc.
* Since our time is very restricted and most of you will be facing difficulties finding all this information we recommend you to concentrate on the time based approach
* However, relevant landscape/urban features such as water bodies, topography and/or larger green spaces should be added in your analysis in any case. In this respect you may extend the territorial scope of your case in order to show its wider landscape context.
* Please select the layers you want to analyse according to your specific interest. The types of layers will surely vary according to the character of your area
* Please consider no less than 5 layers in order to assure comparable results within the groups

=== Time Frame ===
* Results need to be uploaded by Monday, 28th of November
* Please add short explanations to your layers
* Again, your findings will be discussed in parallel small groups
