Explanation

Our landscape is very transformed by the human being having: Natural elements: the trees, the grass and the river Sar.
Built elements: the road, the fences, the works, the banks, the park ... It is not very sustainable naturally since it has a lot of garbage and the river carries a bit of garbage.

Chronology
Unha paisaxe contemporánea

Changes and permanences over time
A vexetación, as costumes da xente e a tecnoloxía. En cambio , as estradas, os edificios e os elementos materiais non cambian. Actualmente, Bertamiráns está moi masificado, xa que hai moitas persoas. Antes Bertamiráns non estaba tan comunicado, e por esa razón non había tanta poboación.

Simmilarities and differences
Esta zona de Bertamiráns, non é moi diferente ó resto da vila, pero hai lugares que unicamente podemos atopar nesta zona de AMES como pode ser o parque do paseo fluvial e o rio Sar só pasa por esta zona de Bertamiráns. En cambio os edificios, a estrada, as casas, etc. sí que os podemos atopar sen dificultade.

Elements detracting from your landscape
Os edificios, a estrada, a contaminación e todos os elementos prexudiciais para o medio ambiente.

Recommendations for environment sustainability
Para que o medio ambiente sexa máis sustentable, habería que evitar que a xente o contaminase, xa sexa tirando lixo ó chan, cos gases tóxicos dos vehículos, os das industrias e os gases dos edificios.

Recommendations for social sustainability
Para que socialmente sexa sustentable, deberiamos evitar todo tipo de discriminacións, xa sexa por raza, sexo, gustos, ideoloxía, etc. Así podeeriamos manter a sustentabilidade social e poderiamos mellorala .

Changes and permanences over time
Like all the landscapes along the years the river walk has been changing a lot but other elements have remained the same.
The elements that have not been changed are: the river. I can not think of another element that has not changed other than the river, but I'm not sure.
Elements that have changed: the plants have changed a lot, the bridge (I include it here because even if it is a built element they have modified it) and the park where the same happens as the bridge.
Built elements: the nursery, the water mill and the laundry.
These are all the elements.

Simmilarities and differences
What makes our landscape unique is how big it is just to be a river walk which for me is quite impressive. It is also made unique by its water mill because few landscapes have one. Also the amount of people there are (as I said before) to be just a river walk. In addition, it combines nature and urban very well.
Although it also has many similarities with other landscapes such as the river.
Many landscapes have a river, even urban ones. And what landscape does not have plants another thing that has in common with other landscapes.
I think that is all.

Elements detracting from your landscape
I think that what most decreases the environmental and social value of our landscape is mainly garbage. There is a fairly significant amount of garbage on the riverwalk. That diminishes the environmental value because it contaminates the landscape and disfigures it. That will mean that many plants will not grow and the landscape will be completely damaged.
In terms of social value also decreases because seeing so much crap lying around, will make people think bad about the riverwalk and not want to come more for that.
It is the only problem that I see him.

Recommendations for environment sustainability
My advice to make our landscape more sustainable from the environmental point of view is only one, but very important. It is necessary to collect the garbage that is thrown by all the fluvial stroll. That damages the landscape a lot and contaminates a lot. Many plants die only because of all the paper and the rotten food they leave lying around. And the river is full of fish that also die because they inadvertently swallow a piece of plastic or get hurt with a glass bottle. We would have to fix that.

Recommendations for social sustainability
Honestly, in my opinion, no advice is needed to make the river walk more sustainable from the social point of view. I think that socially speaking our landscape does not need help in that sense.
