Culture-Nature Interfaces, Sacred Landscape, and Heritage: An Appraisal from Asia

The concept of “multifunctionality” of a cultural landscape can help
envision landscapes that cross urban-rural divides in a sustainable and
integrated way and characterized by wholeness and ecospirituality that
developed in the cultural history of landscapes. That is how the idea
of “wholeness” (cosmality) is transformed into “holiness” (sacrality)
–evolved and represented with sacred ecology and visualized through
the cosmic frames of sacredscapes, more commonly in the Asia-Pacific
region–. In the era of cybernetics, it has become a global concern to
understand and re-revealed the grounds of shared wisdom among
various cultures. Yet, despite all the changes, the inherent roots and
instinct spirits still lie in their roots.
