heritage.
S.I.P.A. is a resource of information and documentation
specialized in architectural, urban and landscape heritage,
focusing on Portugal and Portuguese speaking countries.
This system is divided into several components:
• Library;
• Archives;
•Traditional techniques (know-how) inventory;
• SIPA - Thesaurus;
• Risk management plans;
• Architectural heritage inventory;
• Urban settings inventory;
• Landscape inventory.

Landscape conceptualization (SIPA)
• Landscape is defined as a geographical,
ecological and aesthetic entity that results from
the complex action made by man and all the
living organisms, in balance with the physical
factors of the environment.
• Landscape should be defined as a result of a
dynamical combination (for that reason,
unstable) of physic, biologic, and anthropic
subsystems, which interact with each other.
European Landscape Convention
Landscape: “…an area, as perceived by people,
whose character is the result of
the action and interaction of natural and/or human
factors”.

Landscape
An inventory of cultural landscape implies the
analysis of the elements (biotic, abiotic and
anthropic) that compose the Geosystem and the
evaluation of its systemic interactions.
In this sense, this project has characterized
different landscape units, which, due to its natural,
historical and cultural importance, should be
preserved.
The study of these units followed national and
european legislation.
Landscape
This project is a contribution to:
• Safeguarding architectural heritage, understood
as a structural part of cultural landscape;
•Supporting other entities (local, regional and
central administration) with responsibilities in this
area (environment, land use planning, urbanism,
heritage);
•Scientific and technical research;
•General dissemination of knowledge.
