Paisatge i salut

The book covers the various aspects and effects of landscape (and by extension territory) on people's health.

The publication is divided into three sections:

·         Landscape, welfare and quality of life: This section serves to introduce the issues examined and to provide a general overview of the close relationships that exist between landscape, quality of life, and individual and social welfare.

·         Environment, landscape and health – public policies: The second part of the book focuses on public policy in this area.

·         Experiences and therapies: The final section provides examples of specific therapies and initiatives that are concerned with relationships between landscape and health in the broadest sense.
