Mountainous vernacular landscapes reflect the difficulty of living in remote areas.
Living in mountainous areas often poses significant challenges due to steep slopes, potential isolation, difficult weather conditions, and limited access to resources. Vernacular architecture in these areas is commonly designed to address these difficulties, with features that are adapted to the rugged terrain, such as terracing for agriculture, the use of local materials for construction, and houses that are built to withstand harsh weather conditions. These landscapes do not generally reflect ease of travel but rather the adaptability and resilience of human settlements in challenging environments.
