关于文化景观背景和特征的信息对于理解和找到可持续管理的解决方案至关重要。在埃塞俄比亚的Gurage社会生态生产景观中，“Jefoure”指的是一条两边都有住户的传统的长满草的道路。这项研究旨在绘制和描述Jefoure道路，以帮助可持续地管理它们。利用调查工具和最近的正射影像收集数据，然后进行定性和定量分析。结果强调Jefoure作为一个可变长度的道路网络，可以扩展到87米。值得注意的是，景观的自然地理对这些道路的长度，形状和方向有影响。Jefoure道路是多功能道路，由当地人设计和管理了几个世纪。古拉格聚落格局以道路为中心，影响着其家园功能空间。居民、地方团体、土地使用规划者和决策者需要可持续地管理文化道路。这项研究产生了宝贵的经验信息，古拉克景观功能，这是不是常识，它可以支持决策者和其他保护措施，旨在可持续管理。它也可以启发和鼓励其他研究者在类似的文化道路上进行研究。这条路具有文化价值，需要结合社区的各种文化资产，努力将其遗产化。
Information about cultural landscape settings and characteristics is essential for understanding and finding solutions for their sustainable management. In the Gurage socio-ecological production landscape of Ethiopia, “Jefoure” refers to a traditional grass-covered road with households on either side. This study aims to map and characterize Jefoure roads to help manage them sustainably. Data were compiled using survey tools and recent orthophoto images and then were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed. The results underscore Jefoure as a network of roads of variable lengths that can be as extensive as 87 m. Notably, the physical geography of the landscape has an impact on the length, shape, and directions of these roads. Jefoure roads are multifunctional roads that have been designed and managed by local people for centuries. The Gurage settlement pattern is centered on these roads, which influences their home garden functional spaces. Residents, local groups, land-use planners, and decision-makers need to manage the cultural roads sustainably. This study generates valuable empirical information regarding a Gurage landscape feature that is not common knowledge, and it can support decision-makers and other conservation initiatives aimed at the sustainable management. It may also inform and encourage other researchers in their studies on similar cultural roads. This road has a cultural value and needs to work on its heritagization, in conjunction with the community's various cultural assets.
