    Abstract:
    Landscape studies frequently apply a group of indicators to the entire territory without taking into account the point from which the user has access to it. This study considers the communication channels as a resource through which the population comes into contact with the landscape. Both, the selection of the road (national highway, local road and railways) and transport (on foot, by car and train) influence the perceived image of the territory and configure its identity. The objective of this work is to design a methodological proposal to characterize and evaluate the landscape observed from different modalities of roads and transport between two population centres of Tarragona. The consideration of multiple routes and modalities of transport have allowed the identification of landscapes of urban-rural transition. The contribution of this study is based on the combination of different work methodologies. On the one hand, geographic information systems are used to make a first characterization of the landscape and determine the visibility from the itineraries. On the other, the perceived quality of the landscape is evaluated by mean of photographs. As a result, a useful methodology is obtained and, in addition, it is possible to apply it in other territorial contexts.
