Figure 1
The circular process of landscape evaluation. The line of argument used in the political debates about the landscape is often reductive in that it refers to one of the landscape values, that is of giving pleasure. In doing this it focuses the debate implicitly on the use value and excludes the other (existence and intrinsic) values.
Figure 2
The circular process of landscape evaluation as applied to the case of Lavaux. From landscape conflicts based on binary oppositions between competing ways of evaluating landscape values (outer circle), a shift toward a circular (holistic) evaluation strategy (inner circle) makes it possible to trigger a dialogue between landscape values.
