Abstract Mountain protected landscapes continuously endure conflicts of appropriation that bear inherent transformations. One type of direct intervention is by Commercial Concessions within these areas, affecting their landscape value. The aim is to determine conceptual gaps in Environmental Impact Studies regarding landscape assessment and propose a way to improve them in this sense. Shortcomings regarding landscape are checked in different normative frameworks and tensions are analyzed through the case of a Commercial Concession grant within a Mountain Protected area in the South-Central Andes of Chile (38°22′S;71°35′W). Weak or absent definitions of landscape are found in normative frames and Environmental Impact guidelines. A reductionism of landscape as mere viewshed units avoids a proper differentiation for several types of economic transformations and conservation management purposes therein. Hence, transformations affecting the inherent value of landscape are latent under monitoring and legislation abiding practices. Tensions between protected areas and commercial concessions depend on landscape management strategies which are associated to capital gain uncertainties by risking the nonuse-value of landscape. This uncertainty as a natural insurance value can be integrated to conceptual analyses assessing landscape transformations and report their depreciation. These transformations of landscape value are deemed necessary to be implemented in Environmental Impact Assessment without having to discretize bipartite purposes in protected areas by assessing landscape value through conceptual and economic analyses.

保护区景观改造评估

摘要 山地保护地景观不断地承受着具有内在变化的占用冲突。一种类型的直接干预是通过这些区域内的商业特许权，影响它们的景观价值。目的是确定环境影响研究中关于景观评估的概念差距，并在这个意义上提出改进它们的方法。在不同的规范框架中检查了景观方面的缺陷，并通过智利安第斯中南部山区保护区（38°22'S;71°35'W）内的商业特许权赠款案例分析了紧张局势。在规范框架和环境影响指南中可以找到薄弱或缺乏景观定义。景观作为单纯的视域单元的简化避免了其中几种类型的经济转型和保护管理目的的适当区分。因此，影响景观内在价值的转变在监测和遵守法规的做法下是潜在的。保护区和商业特许权之间的紧张关系取决于景观管理策略，这些策略通过冒景观的非使用价值风险而与资本收益的不确定性相关。这种作为自然保险价值的不确定性可以整合到评估景观转变的概念分析中，并报告其折旧。
