Giving real meaning to the concept of coherence is a key action in the definition of territorial planning practices. In the search of coherence at the territorial level, landscape is a fundamental issue, being the result of the interaction between communities and territorial dynamics. Landscape is the product of the different policies playing in the territory and needs criteria for coherence. This research shows the process defining strategic objectives and key concepts (identity, heritage, diversity, connections, integration) in the framework of the Regional Landscape Plan in Friuli Venezia-Giulia (Italy). The results of this process question conventional approaches to landscape planning and underline the role of coherence in setting-up multi-actor practices of landscape construction.
