  abstract = {{T}he {E}uropean {L}andscape {C}onvention ({ELC}) has affirmed and legitimised the role of the landscape in the quality of life of people, emphasizing the importance of both remarkable and ordinary landscapes. {T}herefore, the convention should ensure that landscape issues are taken into account everywhere - in rich and poor regions and in different cultural contexts especially where the term ?landscape? does not exist in the local languages. {W}e choose to study {M}ayotte, a {F}rench {O}verseas {D}epartment off the east coast of {A}frica, characterised by a particular territorial context with similar issues to those of the countries in the {G}lobal {S}outh. {T}he aim of our research was to reveal how the concept of landscape is understood and defined by local public authorities and their landscape advisers and the extent to which the wider framework of the {ELC} is relevant to encourage landscape to be effectively taken into account in land use planning. {S}emi-structured interviews with 14 key stakeholders (local authorities and landscape advisers from mainland {F}rance) brought to light different ways of understanding the term ?landscape?, and different approaches for including the issue of the landscape in land use management. {T}he results show how integrating the issue of landscape can improve the quality of life in a poor region especially through the adoption of landscape tools. {T}his adoption is still characterised by a top-down approach in which the {F}rench legislation and {S}tate services play an important role but which nonetheless clearly highlights the potential of these tools to coordinate a territorial project.},
