Hi
Here are some works on sustainability indicators that may be helpful in a general sense.

Hi Jhoanna
See attached link Biodiversity International Toolkit for the indicators of resilience in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes
http://www.bioversityinternational.org/e-library/publications/detail/toolkit-for-the-indicators-of-resilience-in-socio-ecological-production-landscapes-and-seascapes/
Also the European tourism indicator system (ETIS) developed by the European Commission (EC) might also be helpful

Hi Jhoanna,
1) The following paper may be useful to you, even if its main focus is on ecosystem services:
Jianguo Wu
Landscape sustainability science: ecosystem services
and human well-being in changing landscapes
Landscape Ecol (2013) 28:999–1023
DOI 10.1007/s10980-013-9894-9
2) Although the following paper does not address landscape issues, I hope its approach and scope might be of interest too:
T. Luzzati, G. Gucciardi
A non-simplistic approach to composite indicators and rankings: an illustration by comparing the sustainability of the EU Countries
Ecological Economics 113 (2015) 25–38

Best regards, D.A.
In 1985, Gordon Conway—now Professor of International Development at Imperial College, London—suggested that agricultural systems might be assessed on the basis of four properties: (i) productivity (measured in terms of yield or net income); (ii) stability of yield or net income; (iii) sustainability of yield or net income; and (iv) equitability in terms of income distribution. (See Gordon Conway. 1985. Agroecosystems Analysis. Agricultural Administration. Vol. 20, No. 1, pp. 31-55.) He did not indicate what types of trade-offs should be made between characteristics when a choice is available or who should make trade-off judgments. However, an ex-ante assessment of rural conditions and trends using a cultural perspective would facilitate that exercise.
