Abstract
Implementation of the European Landscape Convention requires new tools that link ecological, social and cultural dimensions in practical planning. Here, we propose connectivity as a conceptual tool to include different dimensions into landscape and spatial planning. We present a short review of the connectivity concept in relation to ecological, social and cultural dimensions and illustrate it by examples from a real landscape planning case.

Notes
The Statutory Partition (in Swedish, Laga skifte) was a Swedish agricultural reform (1827–1928) with a very radical aim. Not only should each farm get a few large holdings, the farms were also to move from the hamlet/village toft community and become single farmsteads on the respectively holding.
