Summary/Abstract: The ethnographic landscapes represents the material and spiritual culture adaptations and achievements of the interrelations between culture-nature, human-environment. This type of landscapes have a genesis and form of organization, unfolding, within the rural world. Respectively, they have an essential cognitive function, validated by the diversity of information which they provide, the ways in which the data are transmitted and received by their owners. Thus, the ethnographic landscapes structure their didactic function by sub-function, like didactic and pedagogical, theoretical and empirical, identity and reporting functions. The dimensions of the data provided by the ethnographic landscapes are temporals, spatials, specialized (by content), aesthetics, sensory, etc.
