The adoption and use by the World Heritage Committee of the concept of cultural landscapes has caused multiple specialists around the world and many nations to identify cultural landscapes, evaluate them, list the heritage of cultural landscapes, manage them and make them visible to the world.[13]​.

A 2006 academic review of the combined efforts of the World Heritage Committee, multiple specialists from around the world and nations to apply the concept of cultural landscapes, observed and concluded that:

Within academia, any system of interaction between human activity and the natural habitat is considered a cultural landscape. In a sense, this understanding is broader than the definition applied within UNESCO, including, as it does, almost the entire occupied surface of the world, in addition to almost all the uses, ecologies, interactions, practices, beliefs, concepts and traditions of the people who live within cultural landscapes.[13] Following this idea, geographer Xoán Paredes defines cultural landscape as:

The concept of cultural landscape is useful for sustainable management and heritage conservation. Adopting a cultural landscape perspective can interconnect individual aspects of cultural heritage, such as historic buildings, regional material resources and vernacular building techniques, into a unified notion of identity and place.[17]​[18]​ This can unify tangible and intangible heritage, expose risks within complex system dynamics, and shift the focus of conservation from protecting past fabric towards managing future change. It can be a vehicle for people-centred approaches, which support local ownership and participation in cultural heritage sites.[19]​ This paradigm aligns historic environment management with contemporary attitudes towards environmental management in general, which are also influenced by cultural landscape perspectives.[20][21]​.

Qhapaq Ñan (Inca road network), northwest Argentina, southern Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru, Chile (2014)

Qhapaq Ñan is an extensive Inca network of communication, trade and road defense that covers 30,000 km. Built by the Incas over several centuries and based in part on pre-Inca infrastructure, this extraordinary network across some of the most extreme geographical terrain in the world linked the snow-capped peaks of the Andes, at an altitude of over 6,000 m, with the coast, running through hot tropical jungles, fertile valleys and absolute deserts. It reached its maximum expansion in the century when it spread throughout the Andes. The Qhapac Ñan, Andean road system includes 273 component sites distributed over more than 6,000 km that were selected to highlight the social, political, architectural and engineering achievements of the network, along with its associated infrastructure for commerce, accommodation and storage, as well as sites of religious importance.
