The territory is a dynamic geographical space where nature converges with the interests and human activities. Currently, the constant growth of scarcely planned human settlements has caused a deficient natural resource management that is reflected in environmental and social problems. Proper land use planning requires methodological tools as landscape perception evaluation. The aim of this paper is to have a conceptual approach of landscape perception evaluation and its importance in the planning of a particular territory. To do this, some definitions of landscape perception reported in the past decades were analysed. The study of landscape perception or environmental evaluation is considered a trans-disciplinary methodological tool, fundamental in all territorial planning process, based on the active participation of users and oriented to give answers to its environment necessities perceived subjectively. In addition, a regional planning requires that it takes into account the social perception to contribute to the preservation of culture, biodiversity and promote a sustainable development.
