Abstract
An approach to modeling of a cultural landscape, developed for its typology and mapping at various territorial levels, is presented. The proposed model of cultural landscape consists of points (loci), tracks (lines) and shapes (polygons), which together reflect the diversity of forms and types of anthropogenic impact. The age of the cultural landscape is understood as the age of its constituent elements indicating of the experience of interaction between man and nature. It is suggested that the problem of multi-scale nature of the cultural landscape is defined by multi-scale nature of culture. The approach is illustrated by the case of the identification of elements of the cultural landscape at the local level for individual regions of Europe and at the regional level for the Mediterranean. The indicative role of cultural heritage sites of recognized global significance in determining of the age of cultural landscapes and areas of the palimpsest landscape on the base of composition and location is considered.
