"The need to implement effective incentive systems for a sustainable management of landscape requires policy makers and stakeholders to understand not only the monetary values that communities attach to landscape and its characteristics but other spiritual, cultural, species & biodiversity and other intangible values the landscape hold. The estimation of such landscapes and  assigning monetary has been challenging  because of the complexity of considering landscape components in economic models"  Tagliafierro. C et al., 2013
