Mediterranean ecosystems have been more frequently exposed to wildfires in recent decades. Those wildfires are caused by changes in land use and land cover that enable extensive forestry and farming. This qualitative research investigates a changing landscape identity related to a subjective perception after cyclical and seasonal wildfires (2012–2017). In this regard, we conducted twelve semistructured interviews among inhabitants from Quillón, Florida, and Yumbel (Mediterranean central Chile). The questions considered elements of the visual landscape, perception, identity, and management policies regarding landscape. Consequently, the core results of the research are the following: (1) Loss of traditional livelihood becomes more important than the damage of physical characteristics of a landscape (land cover, vegetation, and aesthetic features); (2) the relationship between the individual’s perception of the landscape and the identity of the landscape changed drastically, especially before and after 2017 where wildfires followed patterns that were predicted by inhabitants; and (3) the community’s expectations concerning reconstruction aid from the government were turned into frustration and feelings of helplessness. Considering this information, we suggest that a landscape identity is a holistic approach that helps us to understand the changes generated by fire disturbance in biophysical, social, and economic aspects.

近几十年来，地中海生态系统更频繁地暴露在野火中。这些野火是由土地利用和土地覆盖的变化引起的，这使得广泛的林业和农业成为可能。这项定性研究调查了与周期性和季节性野火（2012-2017 年）后主观感知相关的景观特征变化。在这方面，我们对来自佛罗里达州基永和云贝尔（智利地中海中部）的居民进行了 12 次半结构化访谈。这些问题考虑了视觉景观、感知、身份和景观管理政策的要素。因此，研究的核心结果如下：（1）传统生计的丧失变得比景观物理特征（土地覆盖、植被和美学特征）的破坏更重要；(2) 个人对景观的感知与景观身份之间的关系发生了巨大的变化，尤其是2017年前后，野火遵循居民预测的模式；(3) 社区对政府重建援助的期望变成了沮丧和无助感。考虑到这些信息，我们建议景观特征是一种整体方法，可以帮助我们了解火灾干扰在生物物理、社会和经济方面产生的变化。(3) 社会对政府重建援助的期望变成了沮丧和无助感。考虑到这些信息，我们建议景观特征是一种整体方法，可以帮助我们了解火灾干扰在生物物理、社会和经济方面产生的变化。(3) 社会对政府重建援助的期望变成了沮丧和无助感。考虑到这些信息，我们建议景观特征是一种整体方法，可以帮助我们了解火灾干扰在生物物理、社会和经济方面产生的变化。
