How are different concepts of nature and time embedded into human
practices of landscape and environmental management? And how can
temporalities that entwine past, present and future help us deal
with challenges on the ground? In a time of uncertainty and climate
change, how much can we hold onto ideals of nature rooted in a
pristine and stable past? The Scandinavian and Australian
perspectives in this book throw fresh light on these questions and
explore new possibilities and challenges in uncertain and changing
landscapes of the future. This book presents examples from farmers,
gardens and Indigenous communities, among others, and shows that
many people and communities are already actively engaging with
environmental change and uncertainty. The book is structured around
four themes; environmental futures, mobile natures, indigenous and
colonial legacies, heritage and management. Part I includes
important contributions towards contemporary environmental
management debates, yet the chapters in this section also show how
the legacy of older landscapes forms part of the active production
of future ones. Part II examines the challenges of living with
mobile natures, as it is acknowledged that environments, natures
and people do not stand still. An important dimension of the
heritage and contemporary politics of Australia, Sweden and Norway
is the presence of indigenous peoples. As is clear in part III, the
legacies of the colonial past both haunt and energise contemporary
land management decisions. Finally, part IV demonstrates how the
history and heritage of landscapes, including human activities in
those landscapes, are entwined with contemporary environmental
management. The rich empirical content of the chapters exposes the
diversity of meanings, practices, and ways of being in nature that
can be derived from cultural environmental research in different
disciplines. The everyday engagements between people, nature and
temporalities provide important creative resources with which to
meet future challenges.
This important and insightful book provides, for the first time, a
broad presentation of ongoing research into public participation in
landscape conservation, management and planning, following the 2000
European Landscape Convention which came into force in 2004. The
book examines both the theory of participation and what lessons can
be learnt from specific European examples. It explores in what
manner and to what extent the provisions for participation in the
European Landscape Convention have been followed up and
implemented. It also presents and compares different experiences of
participation in selected countries from northern, southern,
eastern and western Europe, and provides a critical examination of
public participation in practice. However, while the book's focus
is necessarily on Europe, many of the conclusions drawn are of
global relevance. The book provides a valuable reference for
researchers and advanced students in landscape policies and
management, as well as for professionals and others interested in
land-use planning and environmental management.
