The concept of landscape is assuming an increasing importance in legislation, and the Natural Heritage and Biodiversity Law requires a analysis of the landscape for the Natural Resources Ordination Plans. This calls for a range of tools to assist in studying the landscape prior to the assessment of management plans for natural resources. The advances in the techniques employed by Geographic Information Systems for assessing the landscape can be enhanced by the incorporation of numerous variables into the analysis. This work presents a landscape assessment methodology using GIS tools and including a number of variables which evaluate the landscape in terms of the viewshed and the distance from the observation point, applied to the specific case of the traditional cattle migration routes.
