Multi-stakeholder perceptions of landscape changes are increasingly recognized as essential inputs to discussions on future landscape developments, particularly when addressing the future of European rural areas experiencing agricultural abandonment. This research presents a case exploration of abandonment of olive plantations in east Lesvos, Greece. We conducted two sets of semi-structured interviews to relate an exploration on local farmers’ ability and willingness to maintain the plantations, to the results of a landscape preference survey undertaken with tourists. Three farmer types are identified following a cluster analysis based on attributes of individual ability and willingness to farm. Farmers belonging to the prevalent type revealed low ability and willingness and expect to further extensify their farms. The remaining two farmer types have higher willingness; they are motivated by cultural reasons, more frequently expressing a desire to maintain their land under family ownership, and partake in social cooperative initiatives promoting practices valorizing the olive plantations. We outline how these types interact with regional drivers of change, and partly also contribute to persistence of abandonment through constrained ability to farm. Abandonment does not align with current landscape preferences of tourists, who favor cultivated landscapes, elements of traditionality within built infrastructure and undertake nature-based activities. We discuss how high willingness to farm associated with professional and pluri-active forms of farming may however provide opportunities to maintain the cultivated landscape and synergize with (agri-)tourism demand. Our findings are comparable to those of other European studies, contributing to discussions on the future of its rural landscapes.

农夫和游人的观点在农业放弃的在东部莱斯沃斯岛，希腊。

多方利益相关者对景观变化的认识日益被认为是关于未来景观发展的讨论的重要投入，特别是在解决遭受农业遗弃的欧洲农村地区的未来时。这项研究提出了在希腊东部莱斯沃斯岛放弃橄榄种植的案例研究。我们进行了两套半结构化访谈，将对当地农民的能力和养护意愿的探索与对游客进行的景观偏好调查的结果联系起来。根据个体能力和耕作意愿的属性进行聚类分析后，确定了三种农民类型。普遍类型的农民表现出较低的能力和意愿，并希望进一步扩大自己的农场。其余两种类型的农民有较高的意愿。他们受到文化原因的驱使，更经常地表达出维持其土地所有权的愿望，并参与社会合作倡议，以促进橄榄种植园的增值实践。我们概述了这些类型如何与区域变化驱动因素相互作用，并且在一定程度上还通过限制耕种的能力促进了放弃的持久性。遗弃与游客目前的景观偏好不符，后者偏爱耕地景观，已建成基础设施中的传统元素并从事基于自然的活动。我们讨论了与专业且多学科的农业形式相关的农业意愿有多高，可能会提供机会来维持耕地景观并与（农业）旅游需求协同作用。
