Title: Indicators for the Identification of Cultural Landscape Hotspots in Europe
Abstract:
Hotspots of traditional cultural landscapes in
Europe can be found in locations which meet a specific set of
characteristics. These characteristics were defined in a study based on
literature review, content analysis and two case studies conducted in
peripheral regions of Europe. The preconditions for hotspots of
traditional cultural landscapes seem to be geographic, economic,
infrastructural and political isolation, marginal agricultural land and
often a population that differs from the surrounding national mainstream.
These indicators are exemplified in two case studies. Based on field work
carried out in Las Hurdes, in Spain, and Gyimes, in Romania, I argue that
the factors that once enabled unique cultural landscapes to emerge are
also those that nowadays help to preserve them as islands or hotspots in a
globalized, and increasingly more uniform world. Finding and monitoring
these traditional cultural landscape hotspots in Europe is the first
prerequisite for systematically studying and eventually protecting them.
But existing inventory, monitoring and policy approaches have not been
designed and hence are not fully able to identify regions with traditional
cultural landscapes. The indicators presented in this study can be used to
identify such regions.

Title: Exploring the Heterogeneity of Rural Landscape Preferences: An Image-Based Latent Class Approach
Abstract:
Effects of depopulation, farm family income and
changes in agricultural practices, etc. have resulted in the abandonment
or destruction of traditional mountainous landscapes. An image-based
stated choice survey was applied to explore the effects of various
landscape change processes on the preferences of a mostly urban sample
(N = 410). The 128 digitally generated landscape scenarios
represented various kinds and intensities of agricultural and tourism use
of a historic terraced area in Austria. Latent class segmentations
identified four segments, with different preferences for natural,
managerial and social landscape features. While a preference for a more
complex, mysterious and natural landscape was found for three segments,
one segment preferred more open landscapes. The results indicate that
landscape change can affect humans in different ways, and that
evolutionary and cultural preference theories are useful in explaining
landscape preferences.

Title: Designing Farmland for Multifunctionality
Abstract:
Multifunctionality has become a major objective
of European agricultural policy. However, recent research concerning the
multifunctionality of agriculture has focused on economic, production or
abiotic factors and has paid less attention to biotic, landscape and
social aspects. In addition, relationships in the form of trade-offs
between different landscape values such as biodiversity, cultural
heritage, recreation and aesthetics have been little studied. This case
study of a farm in southern Sweden explores the synergies and conflicts
that can arise between these landscape values when planning at the farm
scale. The results demonstrated that it was not easy to integrate the
considered landscape values in practice, though we are often asked for
them in policy documents. From the case study, we developed some general
relationships--synergies and conflicts--between biodiversity, cultural
heritage, recreation and aesthetics that can occur when improving
multifunctionality on farmland. We combined methods originating from the
natural sciences and the design traditions of landscape architecture to
analyse and develop assessments of landscape values with the aim of
improving multifunctionality by integrating these values. Finally, we
discuss how the design approach of landscape architects can contribute to
developing multifunctional farm plans and how the design process results
in farm-specific solutions.

Title: Amenities, Affluence, and Ideology: Comparing Rural Restructuring Processes in the US and Norway
Abstract:
In this paper we analyse how conceptions of
nature and rural space, combined with broader structural
influences--particularly rural restructuring and neoliberal
ideology--impact community development in rural amenity areas. Building on
qualitative data (in-depth interviews, photo-elicitation, and participant
observation), the paper applies interactional theory of community to
analyse the amenity-based restructuring narratives of two rural
communities: Bayfield County in Wisconsin, USA, and Hitra/Fr�ya in Norway.
Three primary conclusions are drawn: 1) while amenity-led development
occurs because of rural contrast, the trappings of urban life are growing
in importance; 2) consumption may be the driving force behind growth and
change in many 'post-productivist' rural areas, but landscapes are
actively produced to capitalize upon local amenities; and 3) the study
areas are in different phases of maturation, where Norwegian social
attitudes about land seem to be shifting from a 'traditional' mentality
towards a more 'American' mentality.

Title: The Creation of Play Spaces in Twentieth-century Amsterdam: From an Intervention of Civil Actors to a Public Policy
Abstract:
This case study uncovers a turning point in the
production of play space in Amsterdam. Whereas over the first half of the
twentieth century the creation of play spaces used to be the primary
responsibility of the Amsterdam civil society, this situation started to
change after the Second World War. Between 1947 and 1970, the Amsterdam
Urban Planning Department created over 700 public play spaces. These
spaces were little niches in the urban public domain, specifically
designed and constructed to enable city children's play. This remarkable
change from a predominantly private to a public intervention, is explained
through a rapid increase of the number of children (the post-war
baby-boom), the existence of the General Extension Plan (AUP) with its
detailed age specific approach and the fruitful collaboration between
powerful urban planners and politically dominant socialist politicians.

Title: Diversity Indices as 'Magic' Tools in Landscape Planning: A Cautionary Note on their Uncritical Use
Abstract:
Diversity indices are
often considered by landscape planners as easy to calculate and
informative for planning procedures. The main objective of many landscape
planners using such indices is 'to obtain the magic number'. The
misinterpretation of the real significance of diversity values that this
indicates is alarming because it could induce conceptual traps and the
promotion of poor strategies for ecosystem and landscape management with
serious ecological, economic, and political implications. This paper
highlights the need to plan reliable diversity analysis based on a good
understanding of the relevant theory. The quantitative values of indices
obtained should be used as the basis for planning only after a critical
and qualitative interpretation of such indices by professional ecologists
and considering local features, history, constraints and the human
disturbances affecting the ecological units studied. The aim of this short
communication is to promote a critical use of biodiversity indices while
furnishing some further points of discussion on this topic.

Title: Measuring Visible Space to Assess Landscape Openness
Abstract:
This paper presents and discusses a procedure
for measuring landscape openness, which is an important characteristic of
the visual landscape. The procedure aims to ensure the quality of
descriptions of landscape openness while being flexible enough to produce
descriptions suitable for various purposes. Geo-data and a Geographic
Information System (GIS) are used to develop the procedure, which consists
of five steps: 1) select road network and apply sampling strategy; 2)
merge terrain and topographic datasets and create contour lines; 3)
identify visual limitations; 4) compute visible space; and 5) select and
calculate variables. The procedure is applied to a case study to
illustrate the possibilities. The paper includes a discussion of the
realism, generality, precision and sensitivity of the procedure. The
balance between a high degree of realism and a high degree of generality
ensures a procedure which can be used by policy-makers and planners for a
wide range of purposes at various levels.

Title: A Wildland-Urban Interface Typology for Forest Fire Risk Management in Mediterranean Areas
Abstract:
The transitional areas
that lie between wildlands and urbanized spaces, generally defined as
wildland-urban interfaces (WUI), represent an increasing risk factor in
Mediterranean areas; these define a new scenario in forest fire fighting
and prevention. We have developed a methodological approach in order to
assess the hazard and vulnerability of WUI which is based on landscape
analysis, on the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) techniques
and remote sensing. Unlike traditional approaches which are based on local
scale characterization of WUI, we propose a progressive multi-scale
approach. In order to reach an operative classification of the WUI the
methodology was developed in three stages: a regional urban development
model, a landscape character assessment and finally, a WUI typology. The
last WUI typology has been based on the identification of different urban
morphologies and their context within the type of landscape in which they
occur.

Title: Effects of Urban Vegetation on Urban Air Quality
Abstract:
Vegetation has been well recognized for its
ability in improving air quality and alleviating global warming. Tree
planting has been used to mitigate urban heat island phenomena, sequester
carbon dioxide, and help to trap air pollutants on leaves. Because some
plant species emit biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), planting
of some cultivars increase ozone and particulate matter ambient
concentration and hence deteriorate air quality. Moreover, pollen grains
and fungal spores from plants are health hazards for allergic or other
sensitive members of the population. This paper reviews benefits and
limited hazards of urban vegetation on air quality, highlighting useful
computer simulations for predicting some of the interaction between urban
forestry and the ambient atmosphere. To maximize the beneficial
environmental effects of urban forestry, careful design, planning, and
cost-benefit analysis would be required.

Title: Cultural Landscape and Goldfield Heritage: Towards a Land Management Framework for the Historic South-West Pacific Gold Mining Landscapes
Abstract:
This article
investigates how cultural landscapes (especially the potentially limiting
organically evolved landscape) can be used as a research framework to
evaluate historical mining heritage sites in Australia and New Zealand. We
argue that when mining heritage sites are read as evolved organic
landscapes and linked to the surrounding forested and hedged farmland, the
disruptive aspects of mining are masked. Cultural landscape is now a
separate listing for World Heritage sites and includes associative and
designed landscape as well as those that have evolved organically. These
usages have rarely been scrutinized with care. We analyse how
mid-nineteenth century goldmining sites can be best thematically
interpreted and understood for their heritage, indeed World Heritage,
significance and, where appropriate, developed for their sustainable
heritage tourism potential. Drawing on a number of research disciplines, a
schematic framework is offered for interpreting and classifying these new
world cultural landscapes based upon analysis of gold-rush heritage sites
throughout the Trans-Tasman world. We evaluate and apply this framework to
place-based case studies in Victoria, Australia and Otago, New
Zealand.

Title: Coal Strip Mining, Mountaintop Removal, and the Distribution of Environmental Violations across the United States, 2002-2008
Abstract:
This study draws upon concepts in landscape
research and environmental justice to examine the association between
community poverty and environmental violations that occurred between 2002
and 2008 across 110 coal strip mining operations located within the United
States. Multivariate results suggest that residential poverty is greater
around facilities that have been identified as violating an environmental
law. In addition, the association between poverty and violations is
dependent upon regulatory inspections. While an increase in inspections is
associated with an increase in the odds that a violation will be
discovered, it is also associated with lower levels of community poverty.
We conclude that this pattern of associations between poverty,
inspections, and violations is consistent with arguments in the
environmental justice and landscape literatures.

Title: Geochemical Landscape Analysis: Development and Application to the Risk Assessment of Acid Mine Drainage. A Case Study in Central Sweden
Abstract:
Acid mine drainage containing toxic contaminants
is a major cause of landscape degradation at numerous historic mine sites
in Europe. Risk assessment of acid mine drainage and related polluted
lands requires an approach that is able to study the complexity of
pollution emissions and impacted landscapes. The objective of this paper
is to link geochemical contaminant fate modelling and landscape analysis
for the risk assessment of acid mine drainage along the
source-pathway-receptor chain. A simple geochemical landscape analysis
tool is developed using landscape ecology spatial analysis and geochemical
modelling methods. A case study is presented for the analysis of
geochemical landscapes in central Sweden. Results show that the method can
be used efficiently for the risk assessment of toxic mine contaminants in
the complex wetland landscape in the study area.

Title: Ecological Restoration of Central European Mining Sites: A Summary of a Multi-site Analysis
Abstract:
Sites disturbed by mining were surveyed in the
Czech Republic, central Europe. The sites included spoil heaps from coal
mining, sand and gravel pits, extracted peatlands and stone quarries. The
following main conclusions emerged: i) potential for spontaneous
succession to be used in restoration projects is between 95 and 100% of
the total area disturbed; ii) mining sites, if mining is properly designed
and then the sites are left to spontaneous succession, often act as
refugia for endangered and retreating organisms, and may contribute
substantially to local biodiversity.

Title: Differently Designed Parts of a Garden Support Different Types of Recreational Walks: Evaluating a Healing Garden by Participatory Observation
Abstract:
By participatory observation the researchers have
observed when and where patients choose to walk while they were undergoing
a treatment program for stress related diseases in a healing garden. The
aim was to deepen the knowledge on environment-behaviour relations needed
when designing gardens, parks, public open spaces and especially
therapeutic environments. The purpose was to explore how patients use and
interact with this therapeutic setting by looking at behaviour and
location. This can be viewed as a kind of qualitative evaluation of the
design of the garden. Depending on people's need and intentions, two main
types of recreational walks (Introvert and Extrovert walks) have been
observed, each with three sub-groups. These walks take place in different
parts of the garden having different characteristics, confirming the need
for knowledge on the relation between the design of green spaces and the
activities this stimulates.

Title: An Inventory Approach to the Assessment of Main Traditional Landscapes in Sicily (Central Mediterranean Basin)
Abstract:
EU policy for the conservation of cultural
landscapes is of particular importance for a region such as Sicily (Italy)
which is the site of many Mediterranean traditional cultural landscapes as
well as new landscapes created by contemporary agriculture. Such variety
of landscape, however, is not supported or confirmed by specialised
inventories that identify and classify the typical Main Traditional
Landscape (MTL). On the basis of these considerations, the objective of
the present paper is to draw up a preliminary inventory and present a
brief characterisation of MTLs in Sicily, in line with the
multidisciplinary experiences and approaches implemented at European and
national levels. In defining the typological units, the terminology used
to identify Sicilian MTLs was modified by experiences developed on the
mainland, with entries such as: bocage/semi-bocage, coltura promiscua,
Mediterranean open field, mountain landscape, huerta and terrace
landscape. Using different spatialised data layers, including those
concerned with the main historical processes of land use and land use
change, a total of eight MTLs have been detected, mapped, and concisely
described. The distribution and importance of terracing systems within the
different MTLs is highlighted as one of the most relevant traditional
elements in the rural scenario.

Title: Magnitude and Significance in Landscape Change
Abstract:
Landscape is organised in mosaics: sets of
patches with a defined pattern of boundaries through which patches
interact. Changes in patches cause changes in mosaics. Landscape change
has two components: a quantitative one, referring to the areas in which
changes happen, and a qualitative one, referring to the degree of
similarity among the mosaics substituting each other. The quantitative
component informs on the magnitude of the change: the total area in which
landscape mosaics have changed; the qualitative one informs on the
significance thereof: the ecological differences between the mosaics
substituting each other. This paper presents an index for quantifying
landscape change and for discriminating between magnitude and significance
therein. It was tested by study of changes in the landscape mosaics in
Madrid, Spain. Results show that the index developed is useful for this
purpose. This enables objective comparison of different landscape changes
presenting different combinations of magnitude and significance.

Title: The Algorithmic Complexity of Landscapes
Abstract:
A method to evaluate the algorithmic complexity
of landscapes is developed here, based on the notion of Kolmogorov
complexity (or K-complexity). The K-complexity of a landscape is
calculated from a string x of symbols representing the landscape's
features (e.g. land use), whereby each symbol belongs to an alphabet L,
and can be defined as the size of the shortest string y that fully
describes x. K-complexity presents several useful aspects as a measure of
landscape complexity: a) it is a direct measure of complexity and not a
surrogate measure, well supported by the literature of Informatics; b) it
is easy to apply to landscapes of 'small' size' c) it can be used to
compare the complexity of two or more landscapes; d) it allows
calculations of a landscape's changes in complexity with time; e) it can
be a descriptor not only of the landscape's structural complexity, but
also of its functional complexity; and f) it makes possible to distinguish
two landscapes with the same diversity but with different complexity.

Title: Landscape Degradation Modelling: An Environmental Impact Assessment for Rural Landscape Prioritisation
Abstract:
Landscape Degradation Assessment (LDA) of rural
areas can play a crucial role in landscape planning. Japan lacks
quantitative and cumulative Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
methodologies, especially in the area of LDA. Although a decision support
system is in place for very large projects (Class-1) in Japan, EIAs for
much smaller projects are non-existent, which often results in ambiguity
with regard to environmental problems. To improve the transparency of the
decision-making process for rural landscape planning, increase the scale
of the assessment of project size to a more strategic local level, and
enhance effective communication with decision-makers, a new EIA procedure
is proposed with the development of a Landscape Degradation Model (LDM)
for rural areas in Japan. The procedure is based on the equation,
LD=Σ kI/V, where LD represents the degradation
coefficient of the landscape compartments, Σ kI represents the
cumulative impact of human activities, and V quantifies the vulnerability
of a habitat. The value of LD provides a means for supporting
decisions aimed at the quantitative prioritisation of working units and
developing respective conservation plans. This methodology is a holistic
approach to rural landscape reclamation decision support systems where
these LDM findings are geared toward sustainability appraisal and where
integrated assessment of the economics of a proposal is
recommended.

Title: Revitalisation of Common Use in Management of Modern Multifunctional Landscapes
Abstract:
Land areas in collective ownership or use are traditionally
referred to as commons. Through history, the common use and ownership has
been a widespread means of regulating the use of natural resources.
Changing economic conditions and technology spawned a process however
where land use rights and landowner rights aggregated into the modern form
of private ownership of individual farms with full management and owner
rights. This process had obvious rationales in terms of production of
marketable agricultural products. However, in the twentieth century
increasing awareness of the supply of externalities such as clean
groundwater and recreational opportunities from landscapes turned the
attention once again to commons as an instrument for managing natural
resources. Using groundwater and coastal landscapes as case examples, we
pinpoint problems where outputs from the landscape are multiple consisting
of a mix of public and private goods. In some instances central
intervention is needed to ensure provision of public goods. In situations
where transaction costs are too high to justify the guaranteed supply of
goods, local initiatives, cooperatives and networks may be suitable
regulatory alternatives to the predominant private and individualised
ownership. It is concluded that the management regimes chosen should
reflect the dominant functionality of the area in question.

Title: Hunting and Landscape in Denmark: Farmers' Management of Hunting Rights and Landscape Changes
Abstract:
Hunting represents an important activity in Danish rural
landscapes. In this paper, we analyse recent developments in farmers'
management of the right to hunt and associated landscape activities in
three agricultural regions based on surveys from 1995/96 and 2008. The
results show that the total area on which farmers hunt has increased,
especially the area on which the owner is the hunter. This indicates that
interest in hunting is increasing, and the interest for hunting may play
an increasing role as a landscape activity and as a motive to become a
farm property owner. Concerning landscape management, non-hunters,
surprisingly, seem to have a more game-friendly management practice than
hunters. On the other hand, hunters own farms with forests and/or farms
located in areas of high landscape heterogeneity more often than
non-hunters. Local hunting associations play an interesting role in
relation to non-owners' accessibility to hunting and such associations may
play a significant role in the future management of the landscape as a
commons.

Title: The Role of Farm Advisors in Multifunctional Landscapes: A Comparative Study of Three Danish Areas, 1995 and 2008
Abstract:
This study investigates the influence of farm advisors on
farmers' decisions regarding 'Multifunctional landscape commons', a
concept covering environmental and landscape values that benefit the
public but which depend on farmers' management practices. The influence of
advisors is analysed by combining data about the source of advice with
evidence of land use and landscape changes and participation in subsidy
schemes. The study compares three agricultural areas in Denmark.
Structured interviews were carried out with all farmers possessing more
than 2 ha land in 1995-6 and in 2008. Vertical, production and
business-oriented advisory services predominate, together with legal and
organisational spatial competence networks. A new group of hobby farmers
and pensioned farmers tend not to be included in traditional advisory
networks, leaving them to carry out landscape changes and multifunctional
landscape commons without professional guidance and consultancy. This
means the horizontal coordination among farmers, that is, the territorial
competences, decrease.

Title: Countryside Preferences: Exploring Individuals' Willingness to Pay for the Conservation of the Traditional Farm Landscape
Abstract:
This paper explored individuals' attitudes
towards the traditional farm landscape and using the contingent valuation
method (CVM) their willingness to pay (WTP) for agricultural activities
aimed at its protection. Analysis of consumer attitudes towards the
countryside can provide information from which policy-makers can ascertain
if policy measures aimed at enhancing and protecting the rural landscape
are in line with citizens' views and expectations. Results from a
Generalized Tobit Interval model suggest that attitudes regarding the
importance of particular landscape attributes have a differential impact
on WTP. A variety of background variables and whether individuals live in
the countryside were also found to strongly influence WTP. More generally,
the results would indicate broad public support for second pillar
objectives under the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) such as the
protection of the traditional farm landscape.

Title: Urbanisation Induced Landscape Change of Urban Hills in Jinan City, Karst Geological Region of North China
Abstract:
Rapid economic development has induced urbanisation in China,
especially in most of China's karst geological mountain regions. Jinan
City belongs to the karst geological mountain region of north China and is
well known for its fractured karst springs. The spatial pattern of its
land use has been profoundly transformed by rapid urbanisation, and the
urban hills are facing changes in the city. Although the urban area of
Jinan City keeps enlarging and the dwelling conditions are increasingly
improving, the destruction of Jinan's urban hills occurs owing to the mass
construction of the market housing and excessive real estate investment in
the karst mountainous region within the city, thereby resulting in the
degradation of the urban mountainous environment and threatening the
settlement safety of Jinan's residents.

Title: Eden, Earth Day, and Ecology: Landscape Restoration as Metaphor and Mission
Abstract:
This paper sketches the religious roots of
landscape restoration, showing how it morphed from a theological to an
environmental agenda, while retaining the fervour of a sacred mission. In
the aftermath of Lynn White, Jr.'s 'Historical Roots of Our Ecologic
Crisis' (1967) and the Earth Day reform mission (1970), convergent
redemptive philosophies realigned ecotheology and landscape restoration
along Franciscan lines, shedding commandments to subdue and conquer for
injunctions to live in harmony with nature. Previously condemned as the
antithesis of Eden, wilderness was transformed from dreaded chaos into a
redemptive realm that led ecological restorers to idealise and worship
supposedly virgin scenes. Instead of getting civilised, wild landscapes
were treasured as locales of spiritual and bodily renewal. Favoured
locales defiled by human occupance and imprint were restored to simulated
wildness. Perceived analogies with archaeology, art, architecture and
medicine further shape the aims and conventions of landscape restoration,
widening enduring and unavoidable gulfs between restoration intention and
performance, precept and practice.

Title: What is Landscape Ecology? An Analysis and Evaluation of Six Different Conceptions
Abstract:
'Landscape ecology' is an ambiguous term commonly
used to refer to different research agendas in different disciplines. Here
we seek to contribute to the debate about the proper subject matter and
method of landscape ecology by identifying and discussing six distinct
conceptions of landscape ecology, particularly with regard to their
respective understanding of 'landscape'. Our analysis is based on an
acknowledgment of the cultural contexts in which the idea of landscape has
evolved. Our aims are i) to dispute definitions which involve a purely
natural scientific interpretation of the term 'landscape'; ii) to
challenge the increasingly popular view that landscape ecology is (or
should be) an inter- or transdisciplinary science or research programme
comprising not only several natural sciences but also social sciences and
humanities; iii) as an alternative to both of these definitions, to
highlight and define a landscape ecology research agenda that is
widespread but has not yet been explicitly defined, namely, landscape
ecology as 'ecology guided by cultural meanings of lifeworldly
landscapes'.

Title: Exploring the Relationship between Design Approach and Play Value of Outdoor Play Spaces
Abstract:
This paper reports research that explores the
relationship between approaches to the 'design' of outdoor play spaces and
the play value of these spaces. The paper starts by explaining that there
is an assumption that an outdoor space in the Kit, Fence, Carpet (KFC)
style provides fewer opportunities for play than spaces designed in a more
natural way. To test this hypothesis an evaluation tool is developed that
draws upon a range of academic literature. The tool includes three
dimensions of Play Value, Physical Characteristics of the site and the
Environmental Characteristics of the site. This tool was tested on 10
sites in the East Midlands in England. The results indicate that there is
a continuum between KFC and more natural spaces with a mid-category of
'composite' spaces. Play value increases along this continuum between the
two styles while characteristics such as the amount and type of fixed play
equipment and the use of loose and moving parts also vary between the
types.

Title: Landscape Quality and Brownfield Regeneration: A Community Investigation Approach Inspired by Landscape Preference Studies
Abstract:
Increasing emphasis is given to brownfield
regeneration across Europe. However, many local actors consider landscape
quality as a secondary issue in the regeneration process. The present
research investigated community sensitivity to landscape quality in the
context of brownfield regeneration. This analysis was conducted in six
post-industrial neighbourhoods situated in Wallonia (Belgium). The
investigation method was inspired by landscape preference studies (LPS)
and complemented with a qualitative case study approach. This method
produced valuable insight into local community expectations regarding
landscape management in the context of brownfield regeneration. The
results presented in this paper suggest that perceived landscape quality
influences community evaluation of regeneration schemes and reveal an
unpredicted preference of certain community groups for post-industrial
aesthetics. The findings also suggest that higher landscape quality in
brownfield regeneration increases the attractiveness and liveability of a
locality.

Title: Tracking Restorative Components: Patterns in Eye Movements as a Consequence of a Restorative Rating Task
Abstract:
Eye tracking was used to investigate the task of
assessing how likely it is that one would be able to rest and recover in
small urban spaces and how it affects the view pattern. We assess which
environmental components, for example, flowers and trees, participants
look at when evaluating restoration likelihood. Further, we compare number
of fixations in restorative and non-restorative park photos. Photos were
selected based on ratings of low and high likelihood of restoration.
Participants were asked to imagine themselves in need of restoration.
Photos were presented for 10 seconds each. In contrast to studies adapting
a free viewing approach, the present study shows that image properties
such as contrast and colour did not attract attention; instead
participants looked at components that were of importance for assessing
restoration likelihood. The components participants looked at the most
were trees, followed by benches and bushes. This presents new information
on people's view patterns in relation to the task of rating restoration
likelihood. In addition, relations between the park components at which
participants looked the most and the ratings on restoration likelihood
were explored. As expected, we found a positive correlation between grass
and restoration likelihood. The relations were negative for all other
variables, although not significant. The negative relations were rather
unexpected, and possible explanations for them are discussed. Finally, we
analysed the association between number of fixations and restoration
likelihood ratings, and no correlation was found.

Title: Crossing Borders: Review of Concepts and Approaches in Research on Greenspace, Immigration and Society in Northwest European Countries
Abstract:
Relations between greenspace, immigration and
society are emerging issues in policy and science. However, up to now
research has been fragmented and no overview of approaches exists. This
review describes concepts and approaches in Northwest European research on
immigrants' recreational use and perceptions of nature, rural landscapes
and urban parks and on societal aspects of migration and greenspace. We
show that national research traditions vary considerably, reflecting
national 'contexts of reception' and conceptualisations of immigrants.
Links between outdoor recreation and perceptions of greenspace have not
been properly researched and explanatory factors are only superficially
touched upon. Borders seem difficult to cross: learning processes and
cooperation of scholars across approaches and countries are scarce.
Furthermore, current research often lacks an explicit theoretical
framework. We argue that the concept of identity-in-context can form a
good starting point to build an internationally relevant theoretical
framework on the greenspace-immigration-society interface.

Title: Field Boundary Stone Walls as Exemplars of 'Novel' Ecosystems
Abstract:
In some parts of Europe, stone wall field
boundaries pervade agricultural landscapes, yet despite their prominence
there has been very little research into field boundary walls anywhere.
However, these anthropogenic features within cultural landscapes may offer
insights into current debates on 'novel' ecosystems because of their
artifice, their longevity in the landscape particularly in remote or
exposed regions, and their morphology. In a review of the available,
published literature in Europe, it was found that no publications exist
that examine or illustrate specific ecological characteristics of field
boundary stone walls, despite this longevity. Using examples from Ireland,
where these structures are locally abundant, this paper aims first to draw
attention to the poorly representative literature on this topic, and thus
stimulate research that will detail the potential ecological
characteristics of these ancient forms of field boundary. It then briefly
explores the potential for these walls to be considered as 'novel'
ecosystems within current debates on the issue.

Title: Place Attachment and Memory: Landscapes of Belonging as Experienced Post-migration
Abstract:
This paper examines the role of public spaces in
developing emotions of place attachment by first generation migrants. We
look at the role of memory, of both continuity and dislocation prompted by
everyday experiences of local places among residents who had moved to the
UK from a range of non-European countries. The research was focused on a
neighbourhood in Sheffield, with participants producing on-site
independently recorded audio to communicate their responses to being
outdoors. Our findings indicate the scope of outdoor places to prompt
memories and highlight connections between different periods of the
participants' lives. Performance of familiar activities and reflections of
values in public spaces were important in developing a sense of belonging
at the local scale. A sense of 'personal fit' to places of residence can
reflect transnational identities and sense of continuity over different
life stages.

Title: Historic Landscape Character and Sense of Place
Abstract:
Most studies of landscape character within
archaeology and historical geography have focused on morphological
features such as whether settlement patterns were nucleated or dispersed,
but this paper discusses how adding depth to this, for example by studying
place-names, vernacular architecture, and the territorial structures
within which a landscape was managed in the past, gives us a far greater
understanding of its texture and meaning to local communities. In two
case-studies in southern Essex, for example, it is shown how the
connections that once existed between inland and coastal communities can
be used today to promote public access to the countryside. A further case
study, in southwest England, shows how field-/place-names and vernacular
architecture also make an important contribution to our appreciation of
the time depth and complexity of landscape character.

Title: Capturing the Intangible and Tangible Aspects of Heritage: Personal versus Official Perspectives in Cultural Heritage Management
Abstract:
In discussions on how to handle local heritage
values, local values or insider-ness are often seen as synonymous with
intangible aspects of heritage. At the same time, expert knowledge is
usually associated with material objects, whereby experts have had the
power to define what to preserve. In this study of three Norwegian towns,
complementary and interdisciplinary methods have been used to address the
relationship between personal and official perspectives on cultural
heritage values and their tangible and intangible aspects. Results from
interviews asking people to describe places they value in the area in
which they live have been compared with results from a study of the
official heritage plans in three selected towns. The study shows that a
gap has unintentionally been constructed in the understanding of cultural
heritage. To bridge the gap additional methods for documentation of
cultural heritage and their contexts have to be developed. Experiments
with various forms of active user participation are one way to introduce
new additional approaches and thereby create local engagement and
awareness of the role cultural heritage can play.

Title: Understanding Cultural Interfaces in the Landscape: A Case Study of Ancient Lycia in the Turkish Mediterranean
Abstract:
Landscapes by definition include interactions
between man and nature. Our actions, perceptions and beliefs create and
shape the landscape over time. The aim of this study was to evaluate
aspects of the Lycian landscape in the Turkish Mediterranean, testing an
approach based on interpreting cultural interfaces. Interfaces between
past and present, between man and nature, between culture and space and
between the visual and the spiritual were evaluated in relation to a
selection of specific landscape elements: ancient tombs and local
vernacular structures. The Lycians constructed tombs to be their houses
for the afterlife using the inspiration of their actual houses. The
persistence and the continuity of the original design and construction
techniques utilised in the tombs, still found today in granaries, beehives
and chimneys, was explored in terms of the types of cultural interface.
The results of the study showed that the authenticity of the Lycian
landscape is a unique agreement between past and present on land sharing
the same knowledge and forms, and in this respect cultural interface can
be an instinctive communication tool between pattern, process and product
in understanding the associative cultural values within the landscape that
are worthy of conservation.

Title: Socio-Economic Demands, Ecological Conditions and the Power of Tradition: Past Woodland Management Decisions in a Central European Landscape
Abstract:
Humans have managed European landscapes,
including woodlands, for millennia. Prior to the birth of modern forestry
in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there existed two basic
management forms for lowland broadleaved woods: coppicing and wood
pasture. While the existence and characteristics of these two basic
management types are well-known, the reasons why particular woods were
coppiced while others pastured are little investigated. As a case-study,
we chose two large ancient woods in the southern Moravian region of
Central Europe. One was managed as coppice, while the other as wood
pasture for most of their histories. The woods are similar in size,
location, climate and vegetation. We examined several potential
explanations (terrain morphology, soil productivity, abundance of
woodland, ownership and economy) for past management decisions in these
woods. We found that the links between soil productivity, economic demands
and ownership were of key importance. Other factors were less significant,
for example woodland abundance played no detectable role in spite of the
decreasing availability of woodland resources. We also found that
tradition mattered; it took a major shift in ideology to change entire
management strategies. In sum, management decisions were driven by a
complex network of multiple interactions among the individual factors.

Title: Considering the Limits of Rural Place Making Opportunities: Rural Dystopias and Dark Tourism
Abstract:
Tourism is viewed as the panacea for rural
decline. A critical dimension of this is the recreation of rural places as
spaces of consumption as opposed to agricultural production. This
transition draws explicitly upon the discourse of the rural idyll, which
positions rural places as a utopia of harmony, tranquillity and safety.
However, an alternate discourse concerning some rural places exists. This
discourse is darker, embodying a rural dystopia. This paper explores the
limits of idyllic rural place making opportunities. Drawing upon the
systematic stigmatisation of the South Australian rural community of
Snowtown, this paper considers the scope for dark tourism to constitute a
means of renewal for places characterised as rural dystopias. In doing so,
the paper invites discussion on the limited theorisation of dark tourism
with specific regards to new rural economies.

Title: Visual Perception of Agricultural Cultivated Landscapes: Key Components as Predictors for Landscape Preferences
Abstract:
This study focuses on the visual perception of
agricultural cultivated landscapes by examining the role of five specific
landscape components as predictors of visual preferences: field size, lot
shape, land texture, crop texture and built elements. The Lower Galilee in
northern Israel was chosen as the study area. The landscape was viewed by
90 participants using a photographic representation. Overall, the
preference ratings indicated a relatively positive judgment of the
agricultural cultivated landscapes. More specifically, the findings
suggest that visual preferences regarding agricultural cultivated
landscapes may be explained to a large extent by land textures, crop
textures and lot shapes that are associated with complexity and fertility.
Despite these findings, the intensification of agriculture over the last
decades in many agricultural areas is still characterised by the removal
of boundaries and the reduction of crop types. Increasing knowledge
related to the visual perception of these landscapes may encourage the
managers of agricultural areas to begin taking into account several
crucial factors that influence the aesthetic quality of cultivated lands.

Title: Landowners' Participation in Biodiversity Conservation Examined through the Value-Belief-Norm Theory
Abstract:
Landowners' choice of management practices will
directly affect the conservation of biodiversity in large-scale productive
landscapes such as forests and agricultural areas. Using the
value-belief-norm theory, this study identifies the extent to which
landowners differ regarding the psychological variables antecedent of a
moral obligation to protect local biodiversity after participation in
conservation programmes. A survey was carried out among 280 landowners who
had to varying degrees participated in either voluntary forest
preservation or wetland restoration. The results showed that the landowner
groups did not differ in fundamental value structure and ecological
worldview. Landowner groups that had participated in the projects tended
to be more aware of consequences, ascribing more responsibility to
themselves and expressing personal norms obligating them to participate in
local biodiversity conservation more than landowners who did not
participate. Local biodiversity conservation could benefit from addressing
the psychological antecedents of the moral obligation among landowners in
parallel with removing structural barriers.

Title: Tracking the Use of Climbing Plants in the Urban Landscape through the Photoarchives of Two Oxford Colleges, 1861-1964
Abstract:
This paper explores the historical appearance and
use of climbing plants (ivy and creeper) at Trinity and Pembroke Colleges,
University of Oxford, UK. Archival materials are used to present the
evidence and establish an historical record of landscape change in the use
of ivy and creeper in the built environment. The record from the Trinity
College archive captures ivy or creeper between 1861 and 1964. Temporal
trends convey increasing growth on some buildings, such as the Chapel.
Four photographic albums were identified at Pembroke College that contain
photographs dating between 1889 and 1964. Whereas climbing plants appear
in photographs from the nineteenth century, around 1953 they were cleared
from walls that served as backdrops for group photographs. There is,
however, some indication that ivy- or creeper-clad building backdrops were
favoured, perhaps suggesting a continued social preference for this visual
aesthetic.

Title: Towards Harmonisation in Landscape Unit Delineation: An Analysis of Spanish Case Studies
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention has encouraged
member states to develop tools for landscape planning and management.
Landscape character assessment is the most widespread approach. The aim of
this paper is to identify the main trends in landscape unit delineation in
Spain. For this purpose, 29 works are analysed by the Multiple
Correspondence technique (MCA). Each work is characterised by a category
of the variables: scale, type of extent, geomorphology, land matrix and
visual boundaries. Results show that there is an implicit hierarchy in the
way Spanish professionals are mapping landscape units. It is more apparent
in variables related to geomorphology and less evident in variables
related to land matrix. Regarding visual boundaries, they are not usually
used at small scales and are more frequent at intermediate and large
scales. The definition of clear criteria that allow comparable
classifications and the increased consideration of cultural and perceptual
factors is encouraged for future landscape character classifications.

Title: Exploring the Quasi-naturalistic Landscaping Design of a Taiwanese Culverted Urban Stream
Abstract:
De-culverting is promoted to restore natural
watercourses towards sustainable environmental management. However, the
Taiwanese case of the Mei Stream develops quasi-naturalistic landscaping
on top of its culverted areas for improvement. Whilst most case-related
literature emphasises the success in public places, little is known about
why such an approach is used. Therefore, this paper investigates the
physical characteristics and considerations about the implementation of
quasi-naturalistic design within the culverted Mei Stream to aid
understanding of watercourse development in dense, flood-afflicted urban
areas. Through interviews, direct observations, photographs and government
documents, the findings show that green parkways and a pseudo-stream (fed
with pumped groundwater and tap water) form the quasi-naturalistic
approach, revealing the severity of wastewater contamination and the
popularity of hard-engineered watercourses. Water pollution and flood risk
perception are the key factors in watercourse redevelopment. In
conclusion, the study shows the better the water quality the stronger the
argument for de-culverting, and the significance of disseminating

Title: Subdivisions and Deer Uses: Conflicts between Nature and Private Property on the Urban Fringe
Abstract:
This article examines a series of controversies
concerning migratory deer ranges in Deschutes County, Oregon, USA, to
reveal a set of tensions in the process of governing landscapes on the
urban fringe. The complex and contentious processes involved in decisions
concerning the zoning of these deer ranges revealed conflicts between deer
migration routes, private property rights, the public good and cultural
values attached to open space. These issues raised by the movement of deer
and the seasonal variability of their habitat provided an opportunity to
reshape the process of environmental governance on the urban fringe that
was attentive to the cultural value of open space and challenged rigid
property boundaries and property rights. This resulted in a fractured
governance process that sought to balance private property rights, the
public good, and the ecological demands of migratory deer.

Title: Integrating Ecological, Social and Cultural Dimensions in the Implementation of the Landscape Convention
Abstract:
Implementation of the European Landscape
Convention requires new tools that link ecological, social and cultural
dimensions in practical planning. Here, we propose connectivity as a
conceptual tool to include different dimensions into landscape and spatial
planning. We present a short review of the connectivity concept in
relation to ecological, social and cultural dimensions and illustrate it
by examples from a real landscape planning case.

Title: Landscape Underwater, Underwater Landscapes: Kangaroo Island Diving Site Names as Elements of the Linguistic Landscape
Abstract:
A linguistic and cultural analysis of diving site
names and their role as toponyms is absent in scuba diving tourism
research and landscape research. This paper argues for using place-names
for the identification of historical landscape features and that diving
site names as place-names and historical landscape features could be of
interest for creating and documenting coastal and underwater landscape
inventories. It claims that diving site names of Kangaroo Island, South
Australia, and diving site toponymy in general, are linguistic ephemera
linked to tourism activities, which may provide a greater understanding of
the 'linguistics of landscape', the 'linguistic landscape', and the
'landscape of language'. In conclusion, this paper speculates about the
function of diving site names as worthwhile pilgrimage locations connected
with tourism of particular cultural landscapes.

Title: Placing Livestock in Landscape Studies: Pastures New or Out to Graze?
Abstract:
This paper reviews research on livestock and
landscape. It argues that farm animals have started to occupy a central
position in landscape studies, opening up many new pastures for research.
Using the example of cattle in the UK, we consider how livestock have been
understood as text, as social constructions and as beings with their own
lives. In each case, we note how the position of farm animals is contested
and there is a need for a diversity of theoretical approaches to
understand these differences. The article calls for academics,
practitioners and policy-makers to pay greater attention to the myriad
ways in which livestock and landscape are intertwined.

Title: "Who Milks the Cows at Maesgwyn?" The Animality of UK Rural Landscapes in Affective Registers
Abstract:
Landscapes are complex outplays of intersecting
flows of agency in which humans and non-humans combine in a series of
registers, and in cycles of comings and goings to make meshworks of life
in place. The presence of animals in some landscapes can be particularly
culturally, politically, ecologically, and economically significant but
are often overlooked or only partially acknowledged. Here I focus on UK
rural landscapes which are rich in animal presences both historically and
today. I show how animal presences, and human engagements with them, form
key elements of individual and collective practices and imaginings of
identity. These presences come in many interrelating, messy, and
contesting forms, such as companion animals, wildlife, agricultural
livestock, and animals bound up with conservation and field sports. In the
shifting meshworks of social, cultural, economic, political and ecological
forces at work in rural landscapes, the composition of these animal
presences, and the natures of these encounters, will be ever-changing but
also retain familiar themes and iconographies. I argue that the animality
of rurality is far more strongly represented in popular culture
(television, film, literature) than it has been in academic readings of
the rural. I also suggest that much of the exchange that makes up
animality-rurality meshworks is articulated in affective/emotional
registers. Landscape and rural studies need to develop awareness of these
registers, and means by which they can be more sensitively investigated.
This will be an important step in developing our understandings of all
landscapes and the practices of relational, affective, everyday life, both
of humans and non-humans, within them.

Title: Cree Hunters' Observations on Resources in the Landscape in the Context of Socio-Environmental Change in the Eastern James Bay
Abstract:
This article examines the understanding of Cree
hunters in relation to shifts in landscape resources and in particular the
availability of two key subsistence wildlife species (i.e. Canada geese
and woodland caribou) as a result of climatic and socio-environmental
changes and their subsequent impacts on Cree subsistence activities and
Cree culture. These results are based on questionnaires and interviews
conducted among Cree hunters of the Eastern James Bay. Findings indicate
that a number of Cree are concerned with changes in the physical
landscape, in sociocultural and intergenerational dynamics as well as
shifts in wildlife distribution, which are impacting their ability to use
the land and to maintain traditional subsistence activities. This research
provides a deeper understanding of current and future trends in the Cree's
relationship with landscape resources in the context of continuing change,
necessary to future development of appropriate adaptation and landscape
planning strategies to cope with occurring changes.

Title: Exploring Landscape in-the-Making: A Case Study on the Constitutive Role of Animals in Society-Nature Interactions
Abstract:
Landscape research offers
fruitful perspectives on interactions between society and nature. We
suggest that animals may help us to understand these interactions in their
full complexity. We examine the constitutive role of animals in
society-nature interactions through a case study of brown bears entering a
semi-urban landscape of second homes in south-eastern Finland, and
developing a garbage-eating habit. Drawing from relational thinking and
poststructuralist geographies, we analyse the landscape as co-produced by
humans and bears. Analysis of the material and socio-cultural practices of
cohabitation enriches the understanding of society-nature interactions by
emphasising the open-endedness of the interactions. Therefore, the
identification of the underlying material interactions makes visible
alternative ways of living the landscape and provides means to evaluate
spatial strategies with which problematic society-nature interactions can
be manipulated.

Title: "Instead of 40 Sheep there are 400": Traditional Grazing Practices and Landscape Change in Western Lesvos, Greece
Abstract:
In the semi-arid zones of the Eastern
Mediterranean, husbandry of sheep and goats has been an integral part of
livelihoods and survival strategies since the Neolithic, but underwent
major changes after approximately the 1960s. In this paper, we analyse the
landscape changes that were induced by the following increase of sheep
numbers and the underlying socio-economic and biophysical driving forces
in an insular semi-arid locality of the Eastern Mediterranean, Western
Lesvos, Greece. Thirty-four sheep farmers were surveyed and secondary
sources such as agricultural statistics and regional literature were
analysed. The findings indicate a transition from an agrosilvopastoral
system strongly dependent on local ecosystem services to a market economy
with intensified animal production that has brought a significant loss of
traditional ecological knowledge. This loss is expressed in the
simplification of current management practices in comparison to former
ones. The causes of the resulting intensification and environmental
degradation are mostly economic (low incomes from farming) and social
(inability to manage collectively common resources). The landscape changes
recorded are less arable land and more grazing lands in a time frame
stretching back to the 1960s.

Title: The Opportunity Costs of Conserving Pasture Resources for Mobile Pastoralists in the Greater Caucasus
Abstract:
Ecological damage caused by unadjusted and raised
stocking rates are persistent problems in grazed mountain areas in
developing countries, including in post-Soviet Asia. An assessment of this
degradation is difficult due to site heterogeneity and insufficient
knowledge about the grazing systems. We present an integrated appraisal of
the potential stocking rates of sites based on physical site properties.
We combine these ecological and agrarian analyses with the economic
calculation of opportunity costs in scenarios. We apply this approach to a
high mountain region in the eastern Greater Caucasus in Azerbaijan, which
provides valuable ecosystem services and is heavily used as summer pasture
by mobile pastoralists. Hence, an impact assessment of reducing the legal
prescriptions of stocking rates or the calculation of payments for
ecosystem services is possible. Our results show that stocking rates on
many pastures are spatially unadjusted and destocking measures need to be
implemented in order to preserve ecosystem services. We also discuss
different distribution possibilities of the opportunity costs.

Title: Low-intensity Husbandry as a Cost-efficient Way to Preserve Dry Grasslands
Abstract:
Dry grasslands represent unique ecosystems that
are known for high biodiversity. Land use changes have led to a decline in
Europe. Shrub encroachment is a major problem in incorrectly or unmanaged
areas, and affects not only flora and fauna but also leads to changes in
the appearance of the landscape. Our study was conducted on the island of
Hiddensee, north-east Germany, where today dry grasslands are endangered
by shrub encroachment. We analysed the current land use under
consideration of farming costs as well as current agricultural subsidies.
Our results show that revenues of low-intensity cattle husbandry only
account for 61% of total costs and that farming becomes profitable only
with subsidies. Our study illustrates that goats can be a cost-efficient
solution for areas with high shrub cover in contrast to manual clearing.
The maintenance of dry grasslands is therefore more cost-efficient with
grazing animals than with technical-manual labour.

Title: Otters as Symbols in the British Environmental Discourse
Abstract:
The otter is a top predator demanding clean water
to survive and has thus become an important biological indicator of the
purity and health of water and wetland ecosystems. Using the
constructivist approach to explore literary and ethnographic sources, I
argue that otters, in addition to being biological indicators, have become
meaningful and necessary environmental symbols and function as mediators
of ecological values. Following this, I argue that the otter is not only a
mediating symbol, but also a unifying symbol. Because the appreciation of
the otter is uncontested, it can be the spark that kindles further
understanding and cooperation between different interest groups in
landscape management and land use issues. Finally, the symbolic value of
otters as biodiversity markers can benefit other species in need of
protection.

Title: Assessing Grey Squirrel Dispersal Patterns within the Landscape Using Sequence Variation
Abstract:
The grey squirrel Sciurus carolinensis is thought
to have contributed to the decline of red squirrel S. vulgaris populations
in the UK through resource competition and disease spread. This study used
mtDNA sequencing to assess patterns of grey squirrel dispersal in the UK.
Patterns of genetic variation within the dloop sequence were characterised
for seven grey squirrel populations. Infiltration directions and potential
barriers to dispersal are identified and discussed, with a focus on
Cumbria, a county at the forefront of grey squirrel expansion.
Understanding the dynamics of grey squirrel dispersal will aid their
management at a landscape scale and enhance the conservation of red
squirrels.

Title: Green Space as Classroom: Outdoor School Teachers' Use, Preferences and Ecostrategies
Abstract:
More and more Danish teachers have started introducing curriculum-based
outdoor learning as a weekly or biweekly 'outdoor school' day for school
children. This move towards schooling in non-classroom spaces presents a
challenge for green space managers. Basic managerial knowledge related to
what, who, when and where has thus far only been supported by anecdotal
evidence, but seems fundamental to the decision-making of a range of green
space providers. The present study aims to describe, characterise and
discuss outdoor teachers' use, preferences and ecostrategies in relation
to green space. A nationwide survey was conducted among Danish teachers
practising outdoor teaching (107 respondents), and it showed that a
majority used and preferred forest areas. The outdoor teachers used mainly
school grounds and local green space for their outdoor teaching with a
majority using the same place or mostly the same place and preferring
natural environments with easy access. We recommend that green space
managers try to accommodate the ecostrategy preferred by outdoor teachers,
i.e. visits to local and well-known places.

Title: Nearby Nature and Experiential Farming: How are their Roles Perceived within the Rural-Urban Fringe?
Abstract:
This paper presents the preferences of residents towards green areas and,
in particular, for agricultural environments in Vantaa City, southern
Finland. The study area includes three growing suburbs and farming land
immediately adjacent to the city centre. During the study period, new
residential areas in the fringe area, combined with a simultaneous
build-up of the road network, resulted in fragmentation and increased land
use diversity. We found that the farming land at the fringe of the city
had a greater recreational role than its basic function linked to either
food or fodder production. Visual mapping of pleasant places proved the
importance of public traditional farms and that preserved nature areas
were preferred more than constructed parks for residents living in the
urban fringe. This suggests that an emphasis in careful urban land use
policy might be placed more upon the maintenance of natural areas that
remain unchanged.

Title: Historical Changes in the Distribution and Abundance of Constructed Ponds in Response to Changing Population Density and Land Use
Abstract:
In the United States most ponds are constructed for varying purposes and
at varying historical rates, yet little attention is paid to their
presence or ecological impact. We evaluated changes in pond density,
landscape position with respect to streams, and rates of pond construction
and loss within a watershed in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern
Delaware that has experienced increases in population density and
associated changes in land use. Based on aerial photographs taken on nine
dates between 1937 and 2005, and maps prepared in 1883, abundances of all
water bodies declined slightly from 1883 to 1937, then increased 18-fold
during the remainder of the study period. Most ponds in 1883 (94.6%) were
'in-line' impoundments receiving stream inflows, whereas 'off-line' water
bodies without inflows represented 77.3% of total ponds in 2005. Pond loss
rates averaged 3.2%/year between 1883 and 1946, but declined to 0.16%/year
between 1946 and 2005. Because of their changing abundance and landscape
position, ponds are assuming rapidly changing ecological roles within the
watershed.

Title: The Delphi Method as a Useful Tool to Study Governance and Protected Areas?
Abstract:
The Delphi method is a systematic, interactive, written method, which
relies on a panel of experts. This paper seeks to discuss whether the
Delphi method is an appropriate method for obtaining information about
governance. In this study we used the Delphi method to assemble
information from 10 professionals with vast experience in nature
conservation, protected areas and governance. The purpose of this study
was to get a better understanding of the scientific governance debate.
Three rounds of questionnaires were sent to the selected experts. The
results of this Delphi Questionnaire reveal that there is a broad common
understanding of protected area governance. They also reveal insights into
how individual categories of protected areas will develop in the future.
However, the study also shows that specialists are not fully agreed on
this point.

Title: Spatiotemporal Landscape Pattern Change in Response to Future Urbanisation in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
Abstract:
Urban growth combined with increasing population modifies landscape
structure and functions at various scales. Identifying the accumulated
effects of urbanisation on landscape composition and configuration over
time is crucial to anticipate the functional change of altered landscape
and to gauge landscape sustainability. Focusing on critical ecosystems,
this study aims to understand how landscape patterns will evolve in
response to the proposed development plans in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Two primary GIS data layers were developed including the urban ecosystem
layer with different natural land cover types (e.g. desert shrub,
grassland, green space, and agriculture) and the urbanisation layer with
residential, commercial, and recreational land use. To examine the
spatiotemporal pattern change, urbanisation scenarios were designed with a
basis on development status and implementation certainty, along with
landscape metrics calculation. The findings demonstrated how the landscape
metrics behave differently across different urbanisation conditions and
which type of landscape will be most likely sensitive to future
urbanisation processes. The study provides significant implications for
landscape planning and guides planners to seek more optimal alternatives
among various policy decisions.

Title: Recording Manifestations of Cultural Ecosystem Services in the Landscape
Abstract:
Attempts at assessing the values people attach to ecosystems reveal
profound methodological gaps regarding the non-material domains associated
with aesthetic, spiritual or heritage values. This paper presents a new
approach for trying to grasp these intangible benefits-conceptualised as
cultural ecosystem services (CES)-based on the assumption that making use
of CES leaves discernible marks on the physical landscape. We explore the
potential for tracing visible manifestations of CES in a field walk-based
landscape analysis. The results provide information on the character,
significance, and spatial distribution of CES and allow for analysis in
terms of correlations with landscape features or ecosystem services
bundles. Based on our results, the method has two main strengths: 1) as an
approach suitable for statistical analysis and integration with spatially
explicit and quantitative data in comprehensive landscape assessment; and
2) as a simplified version which can generate valuable data for
exploratory or complementary uses.

Title: Landscape and Infrastructures: Design Issues for the Integration of Parking Areas in Non-urban Contexts
Abstract:
This work represents a critical review of a selection of significant
parking area projects chosen within the contemporary international
context, aimed at discussing the role of parking architecture conceived as
an opportunity to reinvent non-urban landscapes. Such an issue is part of
the very topical broader theme of relationships between infrastructure and
landscape, and of the various space and time scales on which landscape is
perceived. Nowadays designers have to deal with several parking design
opportunities related to the construction of intermodal stations,
airports, shopping malls, industrial areas, as well as natural, cultural
and leisure parks. Even if these places and design themes have now become
usual, they still require an appropriate and original design research.
Parking areas, besides their specific original function, can represent
gardens and public spaces lying between the city and the countryside,
capable of producing new hybrid landscapes blending art, nature and
architecture.

Title: Landscape Fieldwork: Scientific, Educational and Awareness-Raising Requirements in the Context of the European Landscape Convention
Abstract:
Fieldwork reaches its full potential when one of its key objectives is the
interpretation of the landscape. Field trips are part of a longstanding
and effective tradition of contact with the natural environment, which has
evolved from the nineteenth century to the present day, in accordance with
the scientific, educational and awareness-raising requirements of advanced
societies. In keeping with the fundamental principles of geographical
science, direct contact with the landscape has enabled a holistic approach
to our surroundings which are increasingly complex. The European Landscape
Convention (ELC) provides a new focus on the enhancement of a landscape
culture, one of which main sources is fieldwork. This paper reflects on
the evolution and premises of direct landscape data recollection within
the frame of the ELC and its contribution to student and general public
engagement.

Title: Planning Rural Landscapes: A Participatory Approach to Analyse Future Scenarios in Monferrato Astigiano, Piedmont, Italy
Abstract:
The future of rural landscapes in Europe is the subject of considerable
debate between policy-makers and researchers. This paper aims to analyse
public awareness of social, economic and political forces affecting future
rural landscapes in an effort to support local planning policies
implementing the European Landscape Convention in a rural landscape
(Piedmont, Italy). Public consultation with two focus groups
(Institutional Stakeholders and Civil Society Stakeholders) was set up to
reveal personal perceptions. In the first part, the main driving forces
affecting local landscape transformations were identified and their likely
effects were discussed with the participants. Participants' preferences
regarding three alternative future scenarios were analysed in the second
part. Results confirmed the complexity of a shared decision-making process
in planning rural landscapes. Not only did the two groups differ in
expectation, perception and attitude, but also in their interpretation of
the landscape scenarios.

Title: Landscape Quality in Farmyard Design: An Approach for Italian Wine Farms
Abstract:
This study addresses the issue of landscape quality in farmyard design for
farm wineries. Tourist and marketing strategies have been increasingly
emphasising the relationships between landscape and typical products
through the farmyard image. However, ordinary farms often lack accurate
design research, due to economic constraints and cultural issues. The
study aims at defining the main variables that should be considered in
designing outdoor spaces of small and medium-sized wine farms, based on a
contemporary interpretation of the hortus topos. It allows us to consider
the farmyard as a transition space between architecture (farm buildings)
and cultivated land, combining functional and aesthetic values. Landscape,
composition and architectural characters of various design solutions, as
well as the main requirements and critical issues related to farmyard
design have been analysed on a representative sample of farms, with
reference to an Italian study area. Moreover, useful design references
were obtained from the analyses developed.

Title: The Value of an 1827 Cadastre Map in the Rehabilitation of Ecosystem Services in the Křemže Basin, Czech Republic
Abstract:
The analysis of land use and landscape structure changes over the last two
centuries has allowed us to articulate proposals for the conservation and
the rehabilitation of natural, aesthetic and historical landscape values
in the Křemže Basin. Landscape assessment was based mainly on
information extracted from Stabile Cadastre maps drawn in 1826-1827,
supplemented by military maps from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries
and 1950s aerial photographs obtained historical archives. In the early
nineteenth century, the landscape reflected a spatial order and a balance
of regulatory and provisional ecosystem services as well as aesthetic
appeal. The evolution of land use practices brought about by the
industrial revolution period was associated with structural changes, such
as fragmentation and homogenisation that impacted negatively on
environmental stability. The restoration of selected elements, crucial for
the preservation of landscape character as well as of cultural and
aesthetic values, provides a chance to enhance the current structural
diversity. This is of paramount importance for stabilising landscape
functions and ecosystem services such as water cycling, nutrient
processing, support to biodiversity, aesthetic appeal and transfer of
educational values. The Stabile Cadastre maps offer an ideal baseline for
streamlining the rehabilitation of selected natural, aesthetic and
historical landscape features that can be reappraised during participatory
processes with the contribution of local communities.

Title: Policy Change and ELC Implementation: Establishment of a Baseline for Understanding the Impact on UK National Policy of the European Landscape Convention
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention (ELC) now presents an important frame
for the approach to achieving desirable landscape change in Europe. A
response within national policy is seen as one way to achieve such change.
This paper discusses the process of the construction of a baseline survey
as the starting point for examining national policy change in relation to
the ELC in the UK. It outlines the theoretical approach and methodology,
the components of the baseline and provides concluding comment. The
baseline was devised as i) an overview of present understandings of
'landscape change' in the UK context; ii) an overview of relevant sectoral
policy and tools, iii) a detailed national policy content review and
discourse analysis using the principles and Articles of the ELC as
monitoring indicators, and iv) a survey summary. Collaborative working,
complexity of criteria to judge 'progress', the need for transferability
and manageability of information and the development of a monitoring
framework with feedback mechanisms emerged as key considerations. This
work was seen by UK government as a starting point for the development of
a range of policy, attitude and physical indicators of change in relation
to ELC implementation in the UK.

Title: Intersecting Dynamics of Agricultural Structural Change and Urbanisation within European Rural Landscapes: Change Patterns and Policy Implications
Abstract:
European rural landscapes are, with few exceptions, characterised
by farming and forestry as key functions. Whilst farming has been dominant
historically and is still a significant dynamic in most regions,
urbanisation is also a vital factor. This involves rural-urban emigration,
urban expansion and migration from cities into the countryside
(counter-urbanisation). A conceptual framework for the analysis and
understanding of change patterns in European rural landscapes is presented
and then applied at two spatial scales. First, the combined effect on
local landscapes of agricultural structural changes and
counter-urbanisation is analysed using data from two Danish case studies.
Second, their expression at a wider European scale is explored using
available regional statistics. Research and policy implications of the
change patterns are identified and discussed, highlighting data
limitations and challenges of managing the organisational and regulatory
interface between local landscapes and international market policy
institutions.

Title: Strategies for Enhancing Landscape Architecture Research
Abstract:
Landscape architects have always felt that they benefit, in practice and
education, from fundamental and applied research. The results of recent
surveys among landscape architecture educators now make it possible to
conduct a substantive discussion about the connections between research on
the one hand and teaching and practice on the other. Such connections, it
seems, are still weak. To develop these connections and be able to define
landscape architecture as a discipline that relies on its own body of
knowledge, it is important to build a common framework of theory and
methods, and to start developing specific standards for academic quality
assurance, such as the evaluation of research. Strategies to put these
objectives into practice include organising conferences, colloquia and
seminars on research and research methodologies, and developing network
activities for academic exchange, including links with research
communities outside landscape architecture.

Title: Sacred Landscapes: Albany and Anzac Pilgrimage
Abstract:
Albany in Western Australia lays claim to special commemorative status as
the last Australian place of anchor for the fleet that carried Australian
and New Zealand troops to Egypt and eventually the slopes of Gallipoli in
1915. Recently, this claim has been given credibility by the National
Commission on the Commemoration of the Anzac Centenary in Australia, a
federal body set up to guide the Anzac centenary celebrations beginning in
2014. Albany's aim is to mark out spaces of pilgrimage and ritual and to
place itself at the 'beginning' of the Anzac narrative and tourist-pilgrim
journeys to Gallipoli. Through an exploration of the sacralisation of the
Albany landscape, this paper shows how Albany is pursuing its share of the
Anzac mythology and concluding that leaving the shores of Albany may be as
commemoratively important to the story of Anzac as arriving on the shores
of Gallipoli.

Title: Peaceful, Pleasant and Private: The British Domestic Garden as an Ordinary Landscape
Abstract:
This paper uses narrative accounts of private gardens in Britain from the
Mass-Observation Archive (MO) to explore ideas of landscape, privacy and
attachment that emerge from daily practices and routines in these ordinary
domestic spaces. We argue for the domestic garden as a vernacular or
ordinary landscape that displays tensions between the private and the
public nature of home within ambivalent emotional responses. Extended
personal narratives offer privileged access to a site of intense
engagement and carefully guarded privacy, yet with varying levels of
attachment. The garden is a space well described in Britain in its public
form but less well known as a private, everyday landscape. In this way a
cultural landscape study becomes a contemporary critical geography of an
ordinary space.

Title: Pastoral Abandonment, Shrub Proliferation and Landscape Changes: A Case Study from Gorkha, Nepal
Abstract:
Seminatural grasslands have long been shaped and maintained by
human-induced fire and grazing regimes in order to utilise extensive land
areas, not suitable for intensive cultivation, for the production of
protein for human consumption. Changes in either management regimes have
great implications for vegetation cover and composition. In this context,
we qualitatively examined 18 grasslands used by transhumance
agro-pastoralists in western Gorkha, Nepal, to 1) show that the pastoral
landscape is undergoing change due to shrub and tree encroachment; 2)
understand the role of change in grazing and fire regimes in shrub
encroachment dynamics; and 3) discuss management practices and policy
implications of shrub control. In this region, grassland abandonment and
livestock population decline have been the overriding land-use change
trend over the last four decades brought on by out-migration of local
people from these marginal areas. Our results revealed that
Berberis shrub encroachment started approximately three decades
ago and attained a problematic cover approximately 15 to 20 years ago. The
shrub encroachment drivers are discussed in the context of changed fire
and grazing practices. We underscore the necessity of management
intervention to maintain the services provided by these seminatural
systems; and suggest synergistic application of burning, weeding and
grazing, rather than sporadic single treatment.

Title: Promoting Youth's Physical Activity through Park Design: Linking Theory and Practice in a Public Health Perspective
Abstract:
Young people are increasingly prone to physical inactivity, which
may have severe negative effects on their health in adulthood. The aim of
this literature review was to identify components and characteristics of
parks that have an effect on youth physical activity, and to discuss how
these findings can be applied in park design. The results show that access
to green space is the most frequently reported predictor of park use among
youth. The review identified a range of characteristics and components of
urban green spaces important to youth physical activity. These include
sports fields/facilities for movement, walkways and paths, shadow and
shelter, trees, water elements, maintenance, renovation, form and size,
openness, naturalness and safety. The study identifies some shortcomings
in the currently available literature on the topic. Studies investigating
the importance of specific park components and characteristics are few,
and youth is an understudied age group.

Title: Entangled Landscapes and the 'Dead Silence'? Humphry Repton, Jane Austen and the Upchers of Sheringham Park, Norfolk
Abstract:
This paper explores two aspects of designed landscapes in the
late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries that are often
neglected-first, the importance derived from intersecting
(auto)biographies of designers and patrons; and second, how they relate to
global social, economic and political networks. Sheringham Park, Norfolk,
reveals the significance of the relationship between the designer, Humphry
Repton, the patron and his wife within their respective (auto)biographies.
It is positioned alongside Jane Austen's Mansfield Park
(1814), its exact contemporary, to draw out relationships between
the principle actors and the wider colonial world. The paper will
therefore address questions about the role of designed landscapes in
personal and historical narratives, and in particular, their position
within the international issue of colonialism.

Title: Landscapes of Intersecting Trade and Environmental Policies: Intensive Canadian and American Farmlands
Abstract:
Farming in Canada and the USA is dominated by row cropping
concentrated in central regions. Using the Corn Belt of Iowa and the Lake
Erie Lowlands of Ontario-sources of pollution affecting the Gulf of Mexico
and Great Lakes-as exemplary regions, this paper provides a retrospective
review of the landscape effects of policies and practices related to
environmental stewardship and agricultural trade. Conservation policies
and typical farm practices are described and compared for the two regions
with an emphasis on lasting beneficial environmental outcomes. Connections
among land cover changes, environmental consequences, and changes in
environmental and trade policies and programs are considered along with
future changes in farm management, trade liberalisation, and farm revenue
sources. The paper concludes with prospective ideas of how policies and
practices can maintain or enhance environmental benefits within
intensively farmed landscapes as best approaches for agriculture.

Title: Agricultural Landscape Sustainability under Pressure: Policy Developments and Landscape Change
Abstract:
Agricultural landscape sustainability is affected by combinations
of agricultural developments and various forms of urbanisation. This paper
analyses how public policy, including spatial planning, has responded over
time and affected these two drivers which intersect in various ways
depending on the regional context and local conditions. Using data from
recent Danish studies, the paper shows how a large proportion of farmers
perceive their farm more as a living place than as a production place.
Most of these farmers are hobby farmers with an urban income who have
moved from an urban setting to the rural landscape. As such, these hobby
farmers represent a form of urbanisation, usually termed
'counter-urbanisation', and they manage the landscape differently to
full-time farmers, while they also affect demand for land and thus price
levels. Furthermore, long-term and recent developments in public policy as
responses to changing agricultural landscapes are analysed and discussed.
With a focus on counter-urbanisation, the paper discusses how agricultural
policies, environmental policies and spatial planning policies are poorly
integrated and-when viewed together-fail to respond to the intersecting
dynamics of agricultural developments and urbanisation. The paper proposes
a collaborative landscape planning approach to ensure policy integration
and to promote agricultural landscape sustainability.

Title: Urban Food Security and Landscape Change: A Demand-side Approach
Abstract:
This paper looks at cities as socio-technical systems consisting
of patterns of interaction between actors, rules and artefacts. The issue
of urban food security emerges as a key policy goal. This goal can be
achieved through the coordination of a series of policies including
territorial planning, commerce regulation, public procurement, health
prevention and waste management. This paper discusses an example of how
new narratives linking consumption to the environment-namely 'quality
turn' and 'sufficiency' narratives-can help achieve more sustainable
landscapes when implemented into food policies. Through the proposed
approach, education, information and communication are seen as keys to
change. The new approach may have important effects on landscape, and on
the relationship between cities and the adjoining countryside.

Title: Preservation and Development: The Cultural Landscape and Heritage Paradox in the Netherlands
Abstract:
Heritage managers and spatial planners have traditionally developed
conservation-oriented (that is, defensive) strategies to protect
archaeological-historical values in rural landscapes. However, despite
increasing government policy conservation efforts, rural landscapes face
continuous encroachment. In the Netherlands, an interdisciplinary research
programme entitled 'Protecting and Developing the
Archaeological-Historical Landscape' has explored an alternative approach
that focuses on non-destructive change with the help of the concept of
landscape biography. This paper presents an overview of the underlying
philosophy and the lessons learned from two specific cases. The
maintenance-by-way-of-development concept can help resolve the apparent
paradox between landscape heritage preservation and development. The
development strategy combines storytelling and scientific analysis in
order to assist in the building of territorial identity. However, the fact
that the policy concept and the underlying premises have not yet been
subjected to stringent testing undermines the credibility of claims of
wider applicability.

Title: Policy Integration for Sustainable Agricultural Landscapes: Taking Stock of UK Policy and Practice
Abstract:
This paper examines English experience with agri-environment
schemes as a tool to promote sustainable landscapes. Evidence is drawn
from policy and academic literature and selected recent research.
Performance is assessed by reference to key notions of sustainable
landscapes: spatial coherence, functionality and socio-cultural meaning.
Whilst now widespread across England and well-supported by the
environmental community, agri-environment schemes suffer from weaknesses
in design and delivery including insensitivity to the evolving needs and
concerns of farming businesses, the wider policy context, and thereby to
the integrity of the landscape. An upland case study illustrates problems
of poor communication and advice, narrow and inconsistent delivery, and
under-recognition of social issues which together work against more
sustainable agricultural landscapes. In the context of emerging EU and
global challenges, a shift of emphasis towards systemic approaches,
developed territorially in partnership with farmers, is needed. Emerging
non-policy innovations and new initiatives may offer lessons for an
improved approach.

Title: Sustainability Practices in New Zealand Agricultural Landscapes under an Open Market Policy Regime
Abstract:
Current best practice in New Zealand landscape management at the interface
of the global trade agenda with local landscape sustainability is
identified through key informants and report literature, and classified
into two categories. Systemic management practices such as product
certification and nutrient budgets complement and contrast with
territorial practices such as riparian planting, environment farm plans,
area co-management and integrated catchment plans. Expert informants
highlighted the importance for best practice of local leadership,
enlightened self-interest and partnerships based on trust. Further
research is needed into ways to better integrate the strengths of each
approach, and on the role of the local political economy and local
governance in shaping distinctive combinations of local practice.

Title: The Landscape as an Asset in Southern European Fragile Agricultural Systems: Contrasts and Contradictions in Land Managers Attitudes and Practices
Abstract:
Transition theories suggest that there is a spatial, temporal and
structural co-existence of several processes of transition from
productivism to post-productivism going on in rural areas in multiple
combinations resulting in a more complex, contested, variable mix of
production, consumption and protection goals. This is particularly true
for South European landscapes dominated by extensive agro-silvo-pastoral
systems. The fragile agricultural sector is in some cases just entering
the productivist phase, let alone moving towards post-productivism both in
terms of discourse and management practices. At the same time, these are
landscapes increasingly valued by society, and this demand should
encourage new strategies for farm survival and new ways of managing the
land. But such new strategies require a paradigm shift, not only in policy
goals and formulation, but also in farmers' attitude towards their role
and their management goals. In this paper, the question addressed is how
the land managers within this system, facing multiple transition options,
are choosing different management paradigms, in the complex range between
productivism and post-productivism. Based on a farm survey in southern
Portugal, a typology of land managers is produced, aiming to grasp the
combination between their management practices in the farm and their
expressed attitudes towards farm management and the role of their farm in
the landscape. Results reveal some inconsistencies between land managers'
intentions and their landscape outcomes, in an opposite sense to what has
been earlier identified in Northwestern Europe. Even if they manage a
multifunctional system, their self-concept is dominantly productivist and
not affected by the public expectations of multifunctionality. This
tension may reflect contradictions in the policy framework and, at the
same time, raises challenges which the existing policy mechanisms do not
consider.

Title: Landscape Character Assessment as an Approach to Understanding Public Interests within the European Landscape Convention
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention's (ELC)
definition of landscape, "an area, as perceived by people...", places the
public central to any understanding of landscape. This paper argues for
'just' involvement of the public and looks at how the focus of landscape
as a perceived entity has been taken up within Landscape Character
Assessment (LCA), an approach applied in England and Scotland for
implementing the ELC. Based on a conceptual framework grounded in
perception as a phenomenological experience of landscape and informed by
principles of participation, LCAs from 2007 to 2011 have been assessed as
to how public involvement has been considered. The results show that only
a quarter of all assessments accessed involved the public, and that among
these there is great disparity in the degree to which the public is
engaged.

Title: Leveraging Community Capacity for Nature Conservation in a Rural Island Context: Experiences from Brier Island, Canada
Abstract:
In many instances nature conservation projects
require input from and collaboration with communities that live near or in
ecosensitive regions. The ability of communities to be collaborative
varies and often requires capacity development for full participation in
conservation planning and management. Such capacity development can be
expensive, and where sufficient resources are not available the success of
conservation projects can be limited. Through a case study of the Brier
Island Nature Preserve, near Westport, Nova Scotia, ways in which existing
capacity in a community can be better leveraged for the purpose of
conservation are examined. We describe how the linked concepts of
community values, place dependence, place identity and motivation have
influenced conservation on the island. We then suggest how these concepts
can provide opportunities to leverage additional resources within the
community of Westport for conservation activities. We conclude that an
integrated approach that more comprehensively reflects community values,
place dependence and identity should foster and enhance local motivation
for conservation management and planning.

Title: When the Everyday and the Sacred Collide: Positioning Płasz�w in the Krak�w Landscape
Abstract:
In Krak�w, Poland, the sacredness of the former
Płasz�w concentration camp is positioned within the everyday and
urban landscape. The grievous history of the site contrasts the urbanity
of the busy thoroughfare along one of the site's perimeters, where
commercial developments are increasing in number and size. The site's open
green spaces and the paucity of formal and material monuments place it
outside the ambit of more common public portrayals of collective cultural
memories. In this short commentary, I unpack the positioning of memory
within the everyday landscape by means of landscape reading and visual
methodologies. I critically consider the challenges of representing memory
in everyday settings by (de)constructing Płasz�w's memory layers.
Culminating around the question of how to maintain the site's sacristy
amid an increasingly distractive urban landscape, these challenges
position memories of the past alongside the stronger attachments we may
have with places associated with our daily routines.

Title: Blank Space: Exploring the Sublime Qualities of Urban Wilderness at the Former Fishing Harbour in Tallinn, Estonia
Abstract:
The gradual relocation of industry and other
related activities out of the core areas of cities often results in voids
in the urban structure-spaces that are 'left over'. These places-in
transition between their past and future functions-are landscapes with no
formal spatial arrangement or current use. Their state of limbo often
allows for a variety of informal and spontaneous uses that may enrich the
urban structure, albeit temporarily, with their diversity. However, they
are usually shown as blank areas on city planning maps with a status of
awaiting some future use: thus the space is considered to be empty. As a
case study, the temporary in-between status of a disused and abandoned
fishing harbour in Tallinn, Estonia, is documented, in order to present
and discuss ways of analysing both positive and negative aspects of
dereliction in a post-Soviet context. This blankness, the paper concludes,
is an opportunity and a quality, not always a vice but in some cases a
virtue and that the rich content of derelict places is worthy of
consideration in city planning.

Title: The Need for Advocating Regional Human Comfort Design Codes for Public Spaces: A Case Study of a Mediterranean Urban Park
Abstract:
Though widely acknowledged, climate change and
global warming considerations are poorly integrated in landscape planning
practices. Exploring this matter, the paper analyses the design of a
contemporary urban park in Jaffa, Israel, investigating why climate
considerations are so poorly addressed. The analysis focuses on the
various competing parameters such as social use, design, political
considerations and community desires that influence the planning process
as well as the park experience. Results confirm a paradox. Though climate
conditions are highly acknowledged, and aggravation in heat stress and
discomfort conditions are well known in this region, planners and users
alike prefer to suspend them in favour of image and aesthetics. Responding
to these results, the paper discusses possible venues for further
integrating climate considerations into landscape planning.

Title: Assessing the Landscape Value of Public Works: Validation of the Methods in the Lowlands of the Middle Section of the Tajo River, Spain
Abstract:
This paper proposes a method of landscape
characterisation and assessment of public works associated with fluvial
landscapes, which is validated in the middle section of the Tajo River. In
this method, a set of criteria is identified that unifies various
characteristics of the landscape associated to the infrastructures. A
specific weight is then assigned to each criterion in such a way as to
produce a semi-quantitative value ranging from a minimum value of 0 to a
maximum value of 10. Taken together, these criteria enable us to describe
and assess the value of the public works selected for study, in this case
helping us to evaluate the sections of the River Tajo analysed in our
study area. Accordingly, the value of all the infrastructures associated
to a stretch of the river covering several hundred kilometres was
determined and after dividing this stretch into sections, they were
compared under equivalent conditions to provide a hierarchal ranking.

Title: Do Preferences for Waterscapes Persist in Inclement Weather and Extend to Sub-aquatic Scenes?
Abstract:
Water is often a feature of preferred landscapes. Three experimental
studies explored possible boundary conditions and extensions of this
finding. Study 1 examined the role of weather and found that landscape
preferences were moderated by climatic conditions. While waterscape
preferences were significantly higher under clement than inclement
conditions, urban/built landscape preferences were unaffected. Studies 2a
and 2b explored reactions to sub-aquatic compared to above the waterline
views, using colour and monochrome images respectively. In both cases,
reactions to sub-aquatic scenes were broadly similar to those of green
space. Findings are discussed in terms of possible evolutionary, cultural
and personal mechanisms.

Title: Accommodating New Housing Development in Rural Areas? Representations of Landscape, Land and Rurality in Ireland
Abstract:
Housing development in rural localities represents one of the most visible
and contested indicators of landscape change, as many European rural
landscapes that are regulated by weak planning regimes are transformed by
incremental suburbanisation. However, scant attention has been given to
understanding stakeholder perceptions and interpretations of the physical
processes of landscape change and preferences towards accommodating new
housing development in rural areas among stakeholder groups. We address
this deficit by drawing on a series of stakeholder focus groups undertaken
in Ireland addressing: 1) stakeholder perceptions of landscape change and
2) attitudes towards future change scenarios based on digitally
manipulated images of landscape change. The focus group analysis suggests
a nuanced interpretation among rural residents of the impact of
accommodating housing development, particularly in balancing local demand
for rural housing with preferences for maintaining a sense of 'rural
character'; however, there were variations across rural space dependant on
the extent of development experienced in recent years.

Title: Local Visions of the Landscape: Participatory Photographic Survey of the World Heritage Site, the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras
Abstract:
Inscription as a World Heritage Site increases tourism and the
area is depicted in a variety of media. Many stereotypical landscapes have
been formed in this way. A lot of research has focused on landscapes as
formed by outsiders; however, the landscape of the local residents has not
been well analysed. Here, we used a participatory photographic survey to
examine the landscape of the local residents of the World Heritage Site,
the Rice Terraces of the Philippine Cordilleras in Ifugao Province,
Republic of the Philippines. We clarified that the local inhabitants are
acutely aware of the space inherited from their ancestors, as well as the
space as it relates to their livelihoods and food supply. This awareness
is reflected in the photographs of the landscape taken by the local
residents.

Title: Swedish Pasture-An Exploration of Perceptual Attributes and Categorisation
Abstract:
This study explores the concept of pasture, looking at how people classify
it and the features that determine how an image is classified. The
analysis is based on two parallel studies that used the same image
material. The first study was a web-based survey in which respondents were
asked to make a pairwise comparison of the images they felt best
corresponded to pasture. The second study used eye-tracking to investigate
the elements viewed by respondents as they considered the degree to which
images corresponded to pasture. It is found that the respondents had clear
and mostly similar concepts of pasture and that they apply these
consistently when categorising pasture.

Title: Eye-tracking Analysis in Landscape Perception Research: Influence of Photograph Properties and Landscape Characteristics
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention emphasises the need for public
participation in landscape planning and management. This demands
understanding of how people perceive and observe landscapes. This can
objectively be measured using eye tracking, a system recording eye
movements and fixations while observing images. In this study, 23
participants were asked to observe 90 landscape photographs, representing
18 landscape character types in Flanders (Belgium) differing in degree of
openness and heterogeneity. For each landscape, five types of photographs
were shown, varying in view angle. This experiment design allowed testing
the effect of the landscape characteristics and photograph types on the
observation pattern, measured by Eye-tracking Metrics (ETM). The results
show that panoramic and detail photographs are observed differently than
the other types. The degree of openness and heterogeneity also seems to
exert a significant influence on the observation of the
landscape.

Title: Safeguarding Cultural Heritage in the Urban Fringe: The Role of Legibility
Abstract:
This paper discusses the condition and legibility of prehistoric grave
mounds and their landscape context and assesses legibility for experts and
lay people by combining archaeological landscape analysis and visual
historicity landscape analysis. The paper compares, on the one hand, the
heritage object with inherited meanings, and on the other, how it is
perceived and understood. The results reveal that legibility in
archaeological terms and in visual terms sometimes overlap, but sometimes
diverge. Divergences occur when visual legibility of a grave mound is high
but where the prehistoric context and legibility are changed. In
situations where the context of the mound is preserved and legibility of
the mound is high in visual terms, the two overlap. At the fringe, the
monuments were mostly both non-visible and had a changed context.
Accepting that the prehistoric context has changed, within landscape
planning and heritage management, recognising cultural heritage as
features in the present-day landscape can be one way forward in urban
fringe areas.

Title: Landscapes, Vegetation, and Folklore in Late Medieval Art: An Iconographic Study Based on Selected Austrian and South German Panel Paintings
Abstract:
This article examines the symbolism and realism of naturalistically
depicted flowering plants in Late Gothic art from Southern Central Europe.
A large number of fifteenth- to sixteenth-century pre-Reformation panel
paintings with a landscape context were studied in order to learn about
their plant species, the contexts the plants were shown in, and their
symbolism in connection to religious subjects. Paintings were studied in
groups of 1) roadsides and execution sites and 2) fenced meadows, gardens
and courtyards. In addition, the seasonality of depicted plants was
observed in the scenes of the Passion cycle and in the scene of the
Visitation. The realism of these landscapes was manifested in these
pictures by showing plants growing in places they belonged to naturally or
culturally, and in seasons of religious feasts that the paintings were
connected with. However, this realism was not consistent, but combined
with plant metaphors and symbols, neatly associated to the subject, and
recognised by plants' overall frequency, placement, properties and naming.
Plant names in late medieval and early modern herbals appeared to be a
particularly good tool for understanding their possible meanings in
paintings, assuming that the first question the late medieval viewer could
have asked was: 'What is this?' The religious art of the period is rich in
links between natural and cultural environments; from it we can learn
about the diversity of past vegetation as well as the spirituality and
poetics of the society.

Title: A Multidimensional Investigation into Children's Optimal Experiences with Nature
Abstract:
This article combines a review of literature with observations from an
empirical study that examined how five children aged 6 to 10 years
experienced nature in a botanical garden setting with a focus on the
behavioural, sensory, affective and cognitive dimensions of these
experiences. Visually expressive methods (sculptures, drawings,
photography and sand tray pictures) enabled children to highlight aspects
of their experiences in nature that were memorable and important. The
theory of optimal arousal and the circumplex model of affect frame the
results. Experiences of nature, as communicated by the children in this
study, emphasised the sensory and affective dimensions of experience.
Findings also demonstrate that these children sought out optimally
arousing experiences that were influenced by challenge and novelty. The
circumplex model of emotion and theory of optimal arousal have not been
extensively applied to the study of children's experience. The concept of
interest is also explored in relation to research findings. They, in
combination with a committed attention to all four dimensions of
experience are important conceptual tools in understanding children's
interaction with nature. This article also outlines how these findings
contribute to practitioners' efforts to connect and re-connect children
with nature.

Title: Integrating Archaeology and Landscape Analysis for the Cultural Heritage Management of a World War I Militarised Landscape: The German Field Defences in Antwerp
Abstract:
The approaching centenary of the start of World War I and the booming
cultural tourism at the former Western Front in Belgium, combined with
recent urbanisation and agricultural intensification processes, have
promoted the demand for a more effective and sustainable heritage
management. In addition, there is need for interdisciplinary research on
how war and socio-natural landscapes reciprocally reproduce each other in
time and space. The focus of this paper is a WWI defence system in the
Province of Antwerp (Belgium), some 100 km to the east of the actual
Western frontline. Research included the inventory and evaluation of the
remaining above-ground relics of military features in a landscape
archaeological perspective, based on WWI aerial photographs, historical
maps and fieldwork. Landscape types and dynamics were identified from 1918
to 2011, based on a time series of aerial photos and maps, complemented
with fieldwork. Second, an overall vision was formulated for sustainable
heritage management of the militarised landscape. Both vision and
practical recommendations are immediately useful for policy makers and
stakeholders.

Title: Commemorative Landscapes to the Missing: The HMAS Sydney II Memorial
Abstract:
The sinking of Australian cruiser HMAS Sydney II in a
mutually destructive battle with the German HSK Kormoran
off the Western Australian coast in November 1941 was a national tragedy
amplified by the failure to find the wrecked cruiser until 2008.
Uncertainty over the ship's fate and its crew led to a frenzy of
speculation. Parallel to this public interest was the will to commemorate
the missing sailors somewhere along the coastline opposite the battle
site. And so the HMAS Sydney II Memorial in Geraldton, a highly symbolic
and emotive memory landscape, was built. This paper explores this memorial
as a memorial landscape to 'the missing'-a special category of military
death-and examines how this landscape offers closure to the trauma of
survivors and subsequent generations by providing a narrative landscape
that attempts to heal distress caused by an absent body.

Title: Planning Rural-Urban Landscapes: Railways and Countryside Urbanisation in South-West Flanders, Belgium (1830-1930)
Abstract:
In the international literature on today's urban condition, Flanders is
presented as prime example of urban sprawl, generally described as
unplanned incremental development induced by the quantum leap of private
car ownership. The research on rural-urban landscapes in south-west
Flanders qualifies and substantiates this assertion by analysing pre-war
keystone processes of infrastructure planning in relation to land-use
patterns and landscape transformations. The research reveals that not only
the development of rural-urban landscapes reaches back far beyond the
welfare state, fuelled by railways prior to highways, but also shows that
the supposedly chaotic hybrid landscape has its roots in drawn-out
landscape ideologies inscribed in public works policy. The analysis-which
crosses the divides between disciplines (landscape and infrastructure
planning), concepts (rural-urban, modern-traditional), and geographical
scales (national, regional, local)-reveals consistently planned mechanisms
of public works policy and landscape change underlying both the diffuse
regional urbanisation patterns and local landscape transformations, which
are generally perceived as spontaneous or vernacular developments.
Infrastructure planning facilitated a spatial organisation that attributed
centrality to the transport network rather than the metropolis, and that
conceived a resilient infrastructure framework rather than a stylistic
spatial constellation in order to steer and geographically root
heterogeneous modernisation processes within the landscape.

Title: Landscapes of Threat? Exploring Discourses of Stigma around Large Energy Developments
Abstract:
In UK policy, concerns about climate change, energy security and
system renewal, combine to create an imperative for transitions in
landscapes of energy production. Some of the energy developments that will
be central in these transitions are imbued with historical associations
of, for example, 'risk and threat', which have been asserted to
potentially lead to the stigmatisation of place and people in place. This
paper explores stigmatisation through an analysis of data from interviews
across two case sites in close proximity to existing and proposed energy
developments. We show how our participants engage with or resist the
notion that they are dwelling in 'landscapes of threat' and argue that
stigma is a multi-dimensional phenomenon that is differentially
encountered and experienced even within similar areas. In concluding, we
argue that whilst people may experience stigmatising effects, this does
not necessarily lead to them feeling stigmatised.

Title: On the Origin of Soil Bioengineering
Abstract:
Soil bioengineering is a discipline dealing with hill slopes, riverbanks,
and earth embankment stabilisation, which in recent decades has gained
worldwide popularity. Its peculiarity consists in the technical use of
vegetation, sometimes coupled with other materials. Owing to aesthetic and
environment-friendly characteristics of vegetation, soil bioengineering
techniques are frequently adopted to achieve a low environmental impact of
protective works within the fields of landscape architecture and
environmental restoration. In spite of such success, the origin and the
contents of soil bioengineering have not been completely investigated.
This paper shows that soil bioengineering is not as old as most of the
researchers think; rather, it was developed in a very specific context,
the building of highways during the Nazi dictatorship, although it is the
result of a longer process. The paper also shows that the contents of soil
bioengineering are not related to the mere use of vegetation for
stabilising purposes, but they focus on broader environmental concerns.

Title: The Difficulties of Designing Future Coastlines in the Face of Climate Change
Abstract:
This paper adopts two perspectives. The first is a framing process aimed
at defining and examining the conditions for adopting adaptive coastal
governance. The second applies to relevant themes of changing coastal
policy, central to the testing of adaptive coastal governance, namely
cooperative science, risk-sensitive planning, socially fair insurance
cover and effective ways to design, finance and engage with local
communities over actual coastal change. We illuminate both missions
through case studies in North Norfolk (England) and Portugal, all notably
affected by coastal change. In England and Portugal, there is a broad
understanding and acceptance of the likely effects of climate change. This
recognition encourages debates over risk-averse planning, the design of
proactive insurance cover, creative relocation of endangered property and
new ways of predicting and paying for coastal adjustment. Yet, moving from
a basic willingness to engage with coastal change to actual practices of
landscape adjustment through such policy shifts is proving very difficult.
In this research, we find that coastal landscapes are lived experiences,
resigned acceptances of inevitable change and hopeful imaginings. Coastal
management institutions are not geared to resolving this incompatibility
and this paper explains why.

Title: Shifting Shores: Managing Challenge and Change on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall, UK
Abstract:
In this paper, we look at how landscape and climate change are
simultaneously apprehended through institutional strategies and then
negotiated through local knowledge and social relations on the ground. We
argue that by examining landscapes that are practised, embodied and lived,
it is possible to gain an understanding of people's actions, beliefs and
values in relation to climate and climate change. This attention to
cultural landscapes also enables us to ask how a variety of publics make
sense of climate change, and how they are invited to do so by
organisations that take responsibility for the management and preservation
of landscape, such as the National Trust, Europe's biggest conservation
organisation. This paper considers how the Trust makes sense of climate
change via the document Shifting Shores and how its strategies are
operationalised on the Lizard Peninsula, Cornwall, UK.

Title: Visualising Sea-Level Rise at a Coastal Heritage Site: Participatory Process and Creative Communication
Abstract:
This paper describes a research project that aimed to translate complex
spatial and scientific data about coastal change into accessible digital
formats for general audiences. The project used fine-scale remote sensing
techniques including airborne and terrestrial laser scanning to produce
spatially accurate and realistic 3D digital visualisations of projected
sea level rise at Cotehele Quay, a site on the River Tamar in Cornwall
owned and managed by the National Trust. Area residents and stakeholders
were involved in a series of focus groups which provided guidance on the
integration of the spatial models into a short film. The paper focuses on
how the participatory, iterative process adopted in the project shaped the
content and design of the film. The paper concludes with a discussion of
how this process enhanced the viability of the film as a communication
tool for use in wider engagement activities.

Title: Public Perceptions and Uses of Natural and Restored Salt Marshes
Abstract:
Only a few restoration projects incorporate public perception in their
monitoring. However, participation of local people is a key process if
social benefits are to be achieved. This study analyses, through a survey,
citizens' perceptions and usage of natural and restored coastal marshes in
the city of Huelva (southwest Iberian Peninsula, Spain), as well as
landscape preferences. Most of Huelva's citizens recognised the benefits
of coastal marshes (75%), a perception which increased with level of
education. The majority of the respondents showed a low level of knowledge
about the eco-lo-gical services and functions of salt marshes. In
addition, visitor numbers to the studied restoration project increased by
27% after restoration. Regarding landscape preferences, most of the
respondents preferred the native Chenopodiaceae salt marsh, and the native
Spartina maritima landscape was chosen less often. In light of our
results, environmental education campaigns should be carried out in the
city of Huelva to increase its citizens' knowledge of salt marshes.

Title: Wetland Restoration and the Involvement of Stakeholders: An Analysis Based on Value-Perspectives
Abstract:
This work represents an analysis of the values that underlie our
perception of nature and how these interact and influence wetland
restoration. The focus is on the restoration of wetlands along K�vlinge
and H�je Rivers in Sweden. Applying environmental ethics as a framework,
the study addresses the difficulties that may arise when a project is
dependent on voluntary stakeholder participation. The values and
preferences of 32 individuals concerning programme objectives and
implementation were captured through a review of project documents, a
questionnaire, interviews and group discussions. The results suggest that
the participants' values not only differ in terms of how they perceive
nature, but also in terms of the importance and function associated with
wetlands and the agricultural landscape. Despite the successful
construction of a number of wetlands, value-based differences caused the
administration to make compromises that reduced the programmes'
environmental impact. It is argued that a better understanding of ethics
and the interplay between professional and personal values on decision
behaviour should be utilised when engaged in the management of disparate
stakeholder groups and the development of incentives for
participation.

Title: Building Watershed Narratives: An Approach for Broadening the Scope of Success in Urban Stream Restoration
Abstract:
The success of urban stream restoration is often measured through
biophysical attributes, or the progress towards restoration of a
notionally intact section of landscape. What remains understudied is how
success can be defined across social, economic, as well as ecological
parameters. This research offers a narrative approach for urban
restoration research that serves as a chronotope for untangling the
biophysical and sociocultural complexities of the contemporary urban
environment. The framework of this approach is presented through a case
study of a recent stream restoration project in Seattle, Washington. The
findings highlight the need for urban stream restoration processes to be
grounded within a sociocultural context that is interdependent with
biophysical conditions, and recommends measures of project success to
include community, educational and participatory goals.

Title: Revealing Repton: bringing landscape to life at Sheringham Park
Abstract:
The year 2012 marked 200years since Humphry Repton (1752-1818) produced
his design for Sheringham Park in north Norfolk, bound as one of his Red
Books. On paper, Repton is England's best-known and most influential
landscape gardener. On the ground, his work is much harder to identify,
focused as it was on light touches that equated more to landscape makeover
than the landscape making of his predecessor Lancelot "Capability" Brown.
This paper documents and evaluates a project that celebrated this
bicentenary through a temporary exhibition within the visitor centre of
Sheringham Park, whilst also making reference to the commemoration of his
work in other places and on paper. In attempting to reveal Repton at
Sheringham, we explore the context of the 1812 commission and the longer
landscape history of the site, as well as the different methods of
representing Repton on site that are open to site managers.

Title: Speeding Towards the Future through the Past: Landscape, Movement and National Identity
Abstract:
Recent theorising has emphasised the importance of movement in
people's engagement with and understanding of landscape. We suggest that
there is a need here to problematise movement further. Rather than taking
movement and the engagement with landscape that it offers for granted, we
need to pay attention to the different forms of engagement with landscape
that different forms of movement afford. This suggests, in turn, the
importance of looking at how different forms of movement are made
possible, demanded or denied. In looking at driving in Iceland we seek to
draw attention to how different ways of moving are facilitated or
hindered. We point out how the experience of driving is embedded in a
larger and always complex political history so that the moving engagement
with landscape is mediated by a larger story of the 'nation' and its
relationship with the land.

Title: The Role of Landscape in Regulating (Ir)responsible Conduct: Moral Geographies of the 'Proper Control' of Dogs
Abstract:
Practices of outdoor access involve the regulation of people and animals
as together they constitute particular landscapes. Conduct is ordered
through law and moral norms to avert or minimise harm to people,
livestock, wildlife and wider ecologies. This paper examines dogwalking in
the Cairngorms National Park, illustrating how conceptions and experiences
of landscapes and animals combine to shape the ability to co-exist across
species boundaries. Drawing on a study using video methods, it
investigates how 'wildness' and allied notions of 'freedom' and 'escape'
are mobilised in practice to produce particular (ir)responsible
cross-species encounters, and how joint human-animal conduct-specifically
the 'control' of dogs-is geographically constituted. A tension emerges
between well-being and countryside regulation: the well-being associated
with experiencing 'freedom' and the 'control' required by law for
multispecies flourishing. The findings contribute to broader debate on how
landscapes matter in the achievement of ethical animal-human relations.

Title: The Workplace Window View: A Determinant of Office Workers' Work Ability and Job Satisfaction
Abstract:
Office workers' job satisfaction and ability to work are two
important factors for the viability and competitiveness of most companies,
and existing studies in contexts other than workplaces show relationships
between a view of natural elements and, for example, student performance
and neighbourhood satisfaction. This study investigates whether
relationships between window view, and work ability and job satisfaction
also exist in the context of the workplace by focusing on office workers'
view satisfaction. The results showed that a view of natural elements was
related to high view satisfaction, and that high view satisfaction was
related to high work ability and high job satisfaction. Furthermore, the
results indicated that job satisfaction mediated the effect of view
satisfaction on work ability. These findings show that a view of a green
outdoor environment at the workplace can be an important asset in
workforce work ability and job satisfaction.

Title: Wind Power and the Emergence of the Beauce Landscape, Eure-et-Loir, France
Abstract:
In 2003 wind power arrived massively in the Beauce (on the
outskirts of the Parisian basin). This article follows the evolving
practice of landscape planning over the course of wind power development
in this region of France. Our analysis suggests that landscape is
regulated through practices, discourses and aesthetic codes, which define
what is important about landscape and attempt to protect it. It shows that
wind power not only affects existing landscapes, but also challenges the
working of these underlying practices and discourses, triggering the
emergence of new codes. By calling for a renewal in the way in which we
regulate and experience our landscapes, wind power enables us better to
understand the way in which the energy transition might raise issues about
landscape protection.

Title: Is Landscape a Driver of Short-term Wildfire Recurrence?
Abstract:
Repeated burning in a short return period (> 3-5 years) may significantly
contribute to land degradation in Mediterranean countries. We apply
logistic regression analysis to model spatial relationships between
reburning and site (topographic) and landscape-level factors (land use
pattern); forest areas burned twice at least between 2006 and 2009 in the
Italian peninsula are used as a case study. Few landscape factors prove to
be correlated with the probability of fire recurrence, and the overall
logistic regression model explains 24% of the variation in the fire
recurrence. This fact is not surprising since human factors are known to
be the biggest determinant of wildfire events in Mediterranean countries
such as Italy. Nonetheless, findings from this exploratory study prove to
be qualitatively helpful to identify at least landscape drivers, easily
quantifiable and available on a national scale, significantly affecting
short-term fire recurrence (i.e. slope roughness, exposure, distance from
the nearest water body, pre-fire dominant forest type).

Title: Crossing the Boundary: Memories and Narratives of a River Valley Landscape during Zimbabwe's War of Liberation, c. 1976-1980
Abstract:
This paper discusses a history of the liberation struggle in
Zimbabwe focusing on a particular aspect and group of people. It focuses
on a river landscape found in the Dandawa chiefdom, located southwest of
Hurungwe district, in northwestern Zimbabwe. During fieldwork, the river
landscape appeared central in explaining relations at various levels,
notably among people themselves, between the people and the guerrillas and
between the guerrillas and the Rhodesian security forces. It shaped
relations and defined geographical space in a particular way during the
war period. The river landscape is used to interpret activities of the
liberation struggle in this chiefdom. The paper is about how people
remember and construct narratives of the struggle in relation to the river
landscape. It traces these memories arguing that landscapes carry not only
shared experiences, but different memories as well. It illustrates how
this landscape conditioned confrontations and movements of actors during
the liberation struggle.

Title: The Social Construction of Landscapes: Two Theoretical Lenses and Their Empirical Applications
Abstract:
There is growing interest amongst landscape researchers on social
constructivist perspectives on landscapes. This paper discusses two ways
of conceptualising the social construction of landscapes: historical
institutionalism and post-structuralist discourse theory. The aim is to
explore the opportunities that both approaches offer, and to assess their
strengths and limitations. Drawing on two local case studies from Germany,
we illuminate the ontologies of landscape implied by the two theoretical
lenses, how they conceive of the social construction of landscapes, and
finally the ways in which they can inform political processes. Both
approaches apply an anti-essentialist agenda, though in different ways.
Whereas in historical institutionalism materiality is treated as separated
from the social sphere, in post-structuralist discourse theory material
objects, practices, subjects and linguistic utterances are all part of
relational systems of meaning called discourse. Both approaches can
contribute to a more democratic and pluralistic practice of landscape
planning and policy-making.

Title: The Streets of Los Angeles: Power and the Infrastructure Landscape
Abstract:
The following paper deals with the relation between infrastructure
and power. Against the background of social processes of
postmodernisation, the development of the road infrastructure of Los
Angeles will be analysed. Heinrich Popitz's theory of power, which
distinguishes between power of action (Aktionsmacht), instrumental
(instrumentelle), authoritative (authoritative) and data establishing
power (Daten setzende Macht), serves as a basis for the analysis of power.
It will be shown that mass mobilisation is connected with all four types
of power. Authoritative power as unquestioned imperative of the
organisation of everyday life with the help of cars, and data establishing
power of the general orientation of transportation to road traffic, play a
central role. The paper shows the historical development of different
aspects of the power definition of infrastructure, especially viewed in
the context of the reduction of contingency through the loss of importance
of alternative modes of transport.

Title: Custom, Praxis, Possession and Dispossession in Foxhunting Landscapes
Abstract:
E. P. Thompson's classic text Customs in Common (1991) explored
the complexities of space, praxis and custom. Thompson observed that it is
the active, pre-modern, lay quality of customary access to land which
makes it an evasive phenomenon to examine. However, I uncovered a rich
seam of this obscure form of customary tenure during seven years of
in-depth participant observation as a rider with Hunts. Modern foxhunting
originated as a sport of the landed classes, beneficiaries of enclosure,
and grew from enclosed landscapes, but over two hundred years ago, Hunts
lost the legal right to freely use their territories. In response to this
divestiture, they increasingly relied upon patterns of informal land use,
which were practised by the poor, who were dispossessed by enclosure. An
analysis of foxhunting landscapes reveals legacies of possession and
dispossession and the survival of ancient custom evident, yet largely
unrecognised, within the English countryside.

Title: Evolution of the Metaponto District, Southern Italy: From Land Reform to New Sustainable Scenarios
Abstract:
In this paper we have represented the economic, environmental and
territorial transformation of Metaponto district (southern Italy)
generated by the land reform since 1950. The coastal area, once
inhospitable and unproductive, through land reform has become a point of
development for the entire Basilicata Region. The intensive model of
economic development applied to agriculture and tourism today represents
the main critical points of high environmental impact. In particular, the
great human pressure exerted by economic activities has led to an
insufficient capacity of water purification systems in the area and such
criticism is amplified in the summer mainly for seaside tourism. In this
study we have measured the environmental load exerted on the territory and
we have estimated the human pressure on the district in the year 2030 and
made proposals for amendments to current patterns of development in the
agricultural and tourist sectors.

Title: Urbanisation-related Landscape Change in Space and Time along Spatial Gradients near Roads: A Case Study from Estonia
Abstract:
The quantification of landscape patterns and the changes caused by
suburbanisation processes is essential to the understanding of the causes
and consequences of the human-induced spatial patterns. By using spatial
gradients along main roads near cities, we attempted to quantify the
influence of roads on the suburbanisation process and settlement structure
in Estonia. The rapid suburbanisation process that has been influenced by
the revision of planning principles and land reform has created
preconditions for creation of scattered housing areas around cities.
Landscape metrics gradients were calculated for three roads leading out of
Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. Results showed that the
urbanisation-related fragmentation of landscapes decreases with distance
from the road. The number of buildings is highest between 100 and 500
meters from the road. Distance from the city causes less difference in
fragmentation than distance from the road. Because of the land reform and
revision of planning principles that took place after the Soviet period,
suburbanisation has not, however, been symmetrical in relation to roads.
We could not detect significant in-filling near the roads and therefore
this should be under more serious consideration in planning process in the
future.

Title: Habitat Suitability and Landscape Structure: A Maximum Entropy Approach in a Mediterranean Area
Abstract:
Species distribution models have recently become important tools
in ecological research. Prediction of suitable habitats for threatened and
endangered species is essential for the conservation and management of
their native habitats. A landscape scale approach is relevant for
biodiversity conservation since landscape planning and management are
generally conducted at wide spatial scales, focusing on areas with complex
landscape configuration as a consequence of human activities. The aims of
this study were to test a maximum entropy approach (Maxent) to the
development of a niche-based model for species of conservation interest
and to relate this model to landscape structure metrics. The results
obtained here showed a good predictive power of Maxent for the three
target species and highlighted the importance of landscape structure
analysis for the detection of patterns of habitat suitability. Moreover,
this work stressed that combining classical environmental information with
landscape structure in analysing habitat suitability for species of
conservation interest may be used to guide conservation efforts and
landscape management practices.

Title: Evidence-Based Playground Design: Lessons Learned from Theory to Practice
Abstract:
This paper develops, explores and evaluates an evidence-based
approach to playground design, with a public park playground (playlab Cph)
in Copenhagen as a case study. In the increasingly urbanised world, park
playgrounds are valuable places that support healthy child development by
providing opportunities for play, nature exploration and sensory
stimulation. As it is increasingly expected that designers base their
decisions on research evidence, there is a need to develop approaches to
facilitate this, which also applies to playground design. The design of
PlayLab Cph was based on relevant evidence, best practice, and the
theories of Affordances and Behaviour Settings. A post-occupancy
evaluation was carried out through a questionnaire survey and observation
studies, which revealed that a majority of the potential evidence-based
affordances were actualised, and that the application of the theories
resulted in a more informed design. Although preliminary, this
evidence-based approach seems valuable for practitioners and students
within the field of playground design.

Title: An Examination of Tabriz Gardens in Iranian Garden Art
Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the place of historic
gardens in the city of Tabriz vis-a-vis Iranian garden arts. It provides
information on the historic gardens of Tabriz, which are no longer in
existence, for example, 'Saheb Abad' Garden, 'North' Garden, 'Sefa'
Garden, 'Amir Kabir' Garden, 'Saheb Divan'Garden and 'Fath Abad' Garden,
as well as four historical maps belonging to the Qajar era in the city of
Tabriz. In this research, the factors influencing the design of El-Goli
Garden were studied, which can be grouped into three major categories:
physical, biological and cultural. After a brief study of the above
factors in the city of Tabriz and its different microclimates, the types
of similarities that exist relating to Iranian garden art were
determined.

Title: Landscape Characterisation: The Living Landscapes Approach in the UK
Abstract:
This paper describes refinements to the process of landscape
characterisation that have been developed by the Living Landscapes Project
(LLP) within the context of the now widely adopted approach to Landscape
Character Assessment (LCA) in England. The Living Landscapes project was
developed in an attempt to improve the consistency of LCA at different
spatial scales within the UK. This was achieved by the introduction of the
Land Description Unit (LDU) into the process of LCA, enabling users to
develop a consistent spatial framework based upon relatively homogeneous
landscape units that reflect differences in the natural and cultural
dimensions of landscapes at different scales. The paper describes the
method and demonstrates its potential for improved mapping within the Peak
District National Park, in the UK.

Title: Between Development and Protection: Different Discourses in Urban Planning
Abstract:
This article identifies topical storylines centred on the future use of a
Norwegian urban forest. All stakeholders accept a 'protection storyline'
where species, artefacts and places deemed as unique and valuable shall be
spared from development. The tension is, however, between a reductionist
approach where the remaining forest can be exploited and a comprehensive
approach where the quality of the forest as a whole supersedes the unique
qualities it hosts. Supporters of the reductionist approach enforce their
argument by drawing on the enhanced attention to health effects of near
recreation and accessibility. Over time, this understanding of
accessibility as topical value for outdoor recreation may in the future
give weight to a more reductionist approach to management of the
recreational areas.

Title: Cultural Landscape: Stone Towers on Mount Etna
Abstract:
This work reports the findings of an investigation by Etna's local
councils whose publicly owned land has high concentrations of particularly
significant towers. The towers are original stone constructions, presumed
to have been built between the end of the 1700s and the beginning of the
1900s and so are unrelated to medieval towers, emblems of ancient yet
sophisticated building techniques and located in numerous agricultural
areas on the slopes of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano. They are
built out of the stones removed from the agricultural land of the soils
regenerated from the lava flows wedged in between basalt outcrops.
Together with other stone artefacts, they form part of a renewable
heritage of great value both for their recognised role in maintaining
biodiversity as well as for their cultural, landscape and historical
significance. These constructions are in a state of extreme abandonment or
are gradually disappearing due to the loss of agriculture or the
changeover of agricultural land into building sites. The enquiry used
historical documents, censuses of tower characteristics and field data.
Four council zones were identified and in each only clearly identifiable
towers were considered (total: 19). The field data highlighted
considerable architectural complexity in their proportions and
construction techniques. Their historico-cultural-landscape validity was
confirmed as was the necessity of appropriate and urgent state
intervention.

Title: Exploring Indigenous Landscape Classification across Different Dimensions: A Case Study from the Bolivian Amazon
Abstract:
Decisions on landscape management are often dictated by government
officials based on their own understandings of how landscape should be
used and managed, but rarely considering local peoples' understandings of
the landscape they inhabit. We use data collected through free listings,
field transects and interviews to describe how an Amazonian group of
hunter-horticulturalists, the Tsimane', classify and perceive the
importance of different elements of the landscape across the ecological,
socioeconomic, and spiritual dimensions. The Tsimane' recognise nine folk
ecotopes (i.e. culturally recognised landscape units) and use a variety of
criteria (including geomorphological features and landscape uses) to
differentiate ecotopes from one another. The Tsimane' rank different folk
ecotopes in accordance with their perceived ecological, socioeconomic, and
spiritual importance. Understanding how local people perceive their
landscape contributes towards a landscape management planning paradigm
that acknowledges the continuing contributions to management of landscape
by its inhabitants, as well as their cultural and land use rights.

Title: Past Human Activities Recorded in the Landscape: A Case Study from the Glenveagh National Park, Ireland
Abstract:
The aim of the research was to investigate the persistence of landscape
changes induced by former human activity in the area of the present
Glenveagh National Park (NW Ireland), which was subject to intense
depopulation and land abandonment in the middle of the nineteenth century.
The research involved a field survey, including the earthwork survey of
old anthropogenic landforms, as well as examination of available source
materials, such as cartographic data (maps of habitats, land use maps) and
aerial photographs. The research shows that human-induced landscape
changes, old anthropogenic landforms and human-altered plant communities,
are persistent in the environment, even in depopulated areas. The
long-lasting persistence of anthropogenic earthworks is mainly due to the
local environmental conditions, while the contemporary vegetation cover is
mainly the result of economic factors, especially the long-term variations
of land-use and the local economy. The present state of Glenveagh
represents a cultural landscape, with both biotic and abiotic features
influenced by long-term human impact. Therefore, the well preserved relics
of the past can serve as a characteristic example of long-lasting
human-environmental interactions. Such historic cultural landscapes are of
a high educative importance and can be perceived as valuable
'laboratories' of human-induced environmental changes.

Title: Landscape Continuity Analysis as a Tool for Landscape Planning: A Case Study in Istanbul
Abstract:
In the last decade the city of Istanbul has suffered a gradual decrease in
green areas because of the growing need for space for new settlements,
trade and industry. Landscape continuity analysis takes its starting point
from the analysis of built areas rather than the landscape in between.
This study aimed to demonstrate the applicability of landscape continuity
analysis within a region adjacent to a large metropolis-Istanbul-that is
utilised for multiple purposes and composed of an important amount of
green areas including Belgrade Forest. The general framework of this
research consists of two major steps: 1) quantification of the inferred
influence of human activities on green areas; and 2) evaluation of the
compatibility between the inferred influence of human activities, and
implemented planning decisions (particularly the Forest Management Plan).
The results support the use of landscape continuity analysis as a
timesaving and cost-effective supplementary tool in decision-making
processes. This is achieved by the development and comparison of
alternative land-use options, aiming where possible to prevent the
fragmentation and alteration of green areas.

Title: Water Meadow Management in Wessex: Dynamics of Change from 1800 to the Present Day
Abstract:
Relatively little attention has been given to post-1800 changes in water
meadow management. Before this, many 'bedwork' systems originally provided
grazing within sheep-corn husbandry but this changed in the nineteenth
century when water meadows provided grazing for dairy herds and grew hay
crops. Using oral and published accounts, this paper explores changes in
management from water meadows as heavily invested agricultural systems to
ecological, hydrological and landscape service providers today.

Title: Foucault in the Landscape: Questioning Governmentality in the Azores
Abstract:
This article focuses on the use of governmentality as a technique
of government and its effects, with reference to a protected landscape.
Drawing on ethnographic materials from the Azores, it demonstrates that
governmentality is not always practised by governments in the way it is
meant to be. Although the state's conservation efforts in Sete Cidades
meet the accepted criteria of a governmental programme, they do not
transform local subjectivities as intended. The protected landscape of
Sete Cidades is a government initiative, but also a tool used
strategically by certain social groups living and working within this
landscape to object to the appropriation of the space upon which their
livelihood relies, and to understand, communicate and legitimise their
place in the world.

Title: Effect of Floods on Village Spatial Structure and Hierarchy - Hahoe Village, Korea
Abstract:
The development of the spatial structure of a traditional Korean village
and its social hierarchy is analysed using a river engineering approach to
determine the relevance of river flooding and examine how floods have
transformed the landscape around the village. The subject focuses on the
village of Hahoe, which was registered as a World Heritage Site in August
2010 for its well-preserved traditional architecture and beautiful natural
landscape. The village is located on a small plain surrounded by mountains
and within a loop of the serpentine Nakdong River. As a riverside village
surrounded by water on three sides, its development is assumed to have
been influenced by flooding, but no study has previously investigated the
correlation between village development and inundations.

Title: Recent Landscape Changes on a Small Mediterranean Island
Abstract:
The Mediterranean region is a major hotspot of biodiversity. However, over
the last 50 to 100 years, this area has suffered dramatic changes in human
pressure that has led to significant landscape changes resulting in a
recovery of the vegetation cover to one of higher biomass. A
multi-temporal vegetation analysis of Giannutri Island, based on
inspection of a 50-year series of vegetation maps (1958-2008), shows an
increase in high maquis and Juniperus-thickets positively
correlated with a decrease in open and low maquis. The increase of high
maquis and Juniperus-thickets shows two distinct types of
strategies in their advancement: the first increases its coverage with new
patches arising some distance away from one another, while
Juniperus-thickets expand from the margins. These two
behaviour types may be correlated to a different pressure from thrushes
(Turdus spp.) their disperser found on the island. The few
patches of Quercus ilex woodland have remained constant due
to the absence in Giannutri of its principal disperser: the jay
(Garrulus glandarius). Based on this it would be impossible
to take into consideration the Potential Natural Vegetation (PNV) concept
in addressing conservation activities on an island like Giannutri.

Title: Mapping Alpine Landscape Values and Related Threats as Perceived by Tourists
Abstract:
Alpine environments are increasingly appreciated by nature-based tourism,
notwithstanding recent economic crises. To benefit from this and maintain
the attractiveness of a tourist destination, it is important to recognise
the values of landscapes. We developed and tested a qualitative spatial
valuation methodology, integrating existing quantitative survey methods,
to support destination management and landscape planning at the local
level. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and a
mapping exercise at a nature-based tourism destination in northern Italy.
In identifying and mapping tourists' perceived landscape values and
related threats, we also considered tourist profiles, experiences and
preferences. The results indicated three tourist types (active seniors,
families and sportive visitors). They identified five different landscape
values (scenic, outdoor activity, aesthetic, historical-cultural and
tranquillity) and seven categories of threats (urbanisation, lack of
maintenance, congestion, visual and/or acoustic disturbance, pollution,
overuse, and traffic). The maps show diverse 'tourism landscapes' and
provide useful insights into sites with high value or with potential
conflict between rival uses, which can effectively ground proposals for
the management of valued sites and support local spatial planning to
maintain perceived landscape values.

Title: How to Evaluate and Forecast Changes in Landscape Image: The Case of a Small River Valley in Poland
Abstract:
River valleys play a key role in functioning landscape systems on
a regional and continental level. Their ecological and cultural functions
have developed simultaneously for centuries, creating a unique
composition. Cultural heritage has grown from natural heritage and has
enriched it wonderfully. However, river valleys have become areas of
particularly intense human pressure for approximately the last two
centuries, but especially over the last half century; changes occurring in
the landscape are more and more drastic. The analysis and evaluation of
these changes can therefore be a good indicator and predictor of changes
that occur in the environment of entire (regional and transregional)
landscape systems. This paper presents the method and results of landscape
studies based on the sequence: retrospection-diagnosis-variant prognosis.
The aim of the present work was to attempt to answer questions concerning
the future direction of the development landscape physiognomy of small
river valleys.

Title: Large-scale Spatial Patterns in Species Richness of Orthoptera in the Greater London Area, United Kingdom: Relationships with Land Cover
Abstract:
This paper explores species richness of insects of the order Orthoptera
(grasshoppers, crickets, etc.) along spatial gradients defined using
remotely sensed land cover data for an area of 5600km-super-2 centred on
the city of London. The number of species within grid-squares of a
national atlas, controlled for recording effort, declined along composite
multivariate spatial gradients representing landscapes with increasing
dominance of arable and urban land uses, yet was uncorrelated with the
area of an individual land cover representing cultivated land, and only
weakly correlated with a second land cover representing urban development.
Few orthopteran species reside directly within either arable crops or
non-vegetated urban land covers. Thus, whilst the areas of the individual
land covers are intuitively sensible (and simple) measures of agricultural
and urban cover respectively, their areas do not capture ecologically
relevant information about variation in the composition of the
uncultivated and non-urban land cover matrices within which the species
actually reside. The results illustrate the advantages of using
multivariate data reduction techniques (such as the Principle Components
Analysis applied here) to describe spatial gradients in the extent of
agricultural and urban influence. Relatively few landscape scale studies
have focused on insects and the present study illustrates a) the potential
for using Orthoptera to explore issues of biodiversity in the landscape
and to monitor impacts of land use via analysis of large-scale spatial
patterns from national species distribution atlases combined with remotely
sensed land cover, and b) the importance of selecting appropriate measures
of land use which incorporate information on the complex mix of land cover
types utilised by the species under investigation.

Title: Geolandscapes and Geotourism: Integrating Nature and Culture in the Bucegi Mountains of Romania
Abstract:
Originally considered "exclusively geomorphological", geolandscapes are
multilayered landscapes defined by remarkable sights of natural diversity
and different levels of human use. The paper approaches geolandscapes and
geotourism from a geographical perspective and advances a unifying view of
geodiversity, biodiversity and cultural values as major components of
geolandscapes. Within this context it addresses the compelling issue of
endangered protected areas, especially since mass tourism practices and
lack of proper policies are involved. The Bucegi Mountains in Romania's
Southern Carpathians are rich in geodiversity and biodiversity. They
comprise a Sacred Natural Site as a last reminder of ancient beliefs and a
war memorial as an iconic landmark and a place of remembrance.
Inconsistencies between international standards for conservation and local
management practices are obvious. As an overcrowded destination, the
Bucegi Mountains face biodiversity loss and constant degradation, with
sacredness and symbolic significance being on the brink of perishing. It
is the first time a comparative analysis is carried out with the purpose
of revealing the full extent of the educational potential and endangered
status of geolandscapes, understood as both natural and cultural
landscapes. Geotourism, which hasn't been introduced so far in the Bucegi
Mountains area, is advocated as an educational tool for geolandscape
management.

Title: Ephemeral Urban Landscapes of Guerrilla Gardeners: A Phenomenological Approach
Abstract:
This short research paper discusses the potential for understanding
Guerrilla Gardening--a practice that creates informal and illegal green
areas in urban environments--as a practice that both appropriates urban
space and renders it public on the grounds of temporality, hybridity and
humility. Guerrilla Gardening achieves this kind of publicness through the
creation of an ephemeral landscape that both overlaps the existing
programme of a space and makes rules and representations that it
communicates visible and available for analysis. The paper offers a
preliminary descriptive analysis of the practice and discusses the
importance of linking the research on Guerrilla Gardening to the subjects
of power and public space. This paper also proposes a phenomenological
approach to understanding Guerrilla Gardening as a spatial practice
through which individuals express their need for dwelling and caring by
the means of recreating urban space.

Title: Modelling Individual Farm Behaviour and Landscape Appearance
Abstract:
We develop a farm- and plot-specific land-use model, which allows to
examine the influence of changing socio-economic conditions on
agricultural landscapes. The outstanding feature of our model is that we
directly consider the knowledge of local farmers and agrarian experts for
the specification of the farm-specific adaptation process. Furthermore, we
visualise changes in landscape appearance by photo manipulation. The study
takes place in three typical (Pre-) Alpine regions in Southern Germany and
in Austria. In all study regions, we apply three scenarios: Status
quo (the persistence of the current economic and agri-political
conditions), liberalisation (the abolishment of public payments and
decreasing of producer prices) and alternative (treating a specific
development of particular importance in the respective region). The
abandonment of land in marginal regions and the intensification and
homogenisation of land use in more productive regions are the most
important developments. The initially given farm structure is of
fundamental importance for the future development of landscapes.

Title: An Introduction to Landscape Design and Economics
Abstract:
This paper offers an introductory overview over the points of contact
between landscape architecture and economics, and shows that economics has
been fundamental to landscape practice throughout the centuries. It points
towards the neglect of histories of labour and materials in landscape
studies and the disconnect between landscape history and urban political
ecology, two fields of scholarship which have much to offer each other.

Title: Manorial Economy and French Seventeenth-Century-designed Landscapes: The Formal Type by Savot (1624) and at Sceaux (1670-1690)
Abstract:
A different understanding of the French formal garden type can be gained
from considering how it was shaped by manorial economy within the
framework of land institutions. This paper visualises and describes the
socioeconomic and spatial matrix underlying the landscape in the Paris
basin before the French Revolution. Drawing from Savot's 1624
architectural treatise, it synthesises a scheme for the formal type of
layout for the demesne understood as a productive unit in the manor. After
discussing the consequences of demesne enlargement and landscape design on
taxation imposed on the fiefdom, it looks at manorial economy in a
specific case, that of the park of Sceaux (1670-1696), south of Paris, and
analyses a correlation between taxation and landscape design. By proposing
an alternative and empirically informed theoretical framework for the
study of complex interactions between stable land institutions and dynamic
social environments, this research provides methods for future case- and
process-focused investigations of French seventeenth-century-designed
landscapes, and their lasting and varied impact on contemporary cultural

Title: Use Dimensions of an Alley Revitalization Project
Abstract:
The redesign of alleyways located in commercial districts is typically
undertaken to effect economic development and to develop a sense of
community and a sense of place through these spaces. An investigation of a
recently renovated alley in the Hollywood neighbourhood of Los Angeles, CA
was conducted to assess aspects of the efficacy of this project--namely,
how and by what magnitude use of the alley differed from use of an
unconverted alley. Behavioural observations carried out in the East
Cahuenga Pedestrian Alley and a nearby control alley revealed considerable
differences in use. Findings include that nearly 90% of all recorded
activity occurred in the redesigned alley and the majority of this was
pedestrian- and dining-related, while control alley activity was heavily
transportation- and work-oriented. Results substantiate claims that alley
landscape redesign revitalises social life in commercial district alleys.

Title: Settlement Typology and Community Participation in Participatory Landscape Ecology of Residents
Abstract:
Numerous scholars have emphasised the importance of providing
participatory landscape ecology (PLE) that local residents deem
acceptable. However, the complexity of PLE may require promoting the
understanding of settlement types and community participation in PLE of
residents. Our empirical study contributes to the critical PLE by adopting
physical and social environments to determine the community participation
of residents. The physical environments are classified into four
settlement types: high-rise/urban, low-rise/urban, high-rise/rural and
low-rise/rural. Survey data collected from 495 residents in the Taipei
metropolitan area revealed the typology of physical environments, which
can be used to substantially explain community participation. Perceived
residential satisfaction (PRS) and neighbouring behaviour (NB), derived
from the social environment, were tested for describing community
participation. We observed an indirect relationship between settlement
typology and community participation through the two intervening roles of
PRS and NB. This affirms the importance of social environment to the
relationship between settlement types and community participation.

Title: Teachers' Perceptions οn the Use of Botanic Gardens as a Means of Environmental Education in Schools and the Enhancement of School Student Benefits from Botanic Garden Visits
Abstract:
The potential of Botanic Gardens (BGs) to contribute to environmental
education is well documented. To what degree this potential is met
concerning school students' environmental education is to be considered.
In Greece, Environmental Education Centres (EECs) develop Environmental
Education Programmes (EEPs) for schools to implement. A questionnaire
survey addressing teachers employed at the EECs in Greece investigated the
use of BGs as a means of environmental education and identified their most
important features in supporting school EEPs. Findings indicated that the
majority of EEC teachers (90.6%) have not developed EEPs involving the use
of BGs, although BGs were ranked as most suitable amongst other green
spaces for conducting such programmes, particularly for primary school
students. Teachers identified the need for BGs to be designed accordingly
and provide the necessary infrastructure to be educationally effective
that included facilitating teaching (e.g. open spaces, areas to
congregate, easy access paths and indoor facilities) and plant-orientated
elements as well as plant management displays. A strategy by BGs to
promote their role in environmental education and a multidisciplinary
design approach would maximise student benefit.

Title: Charting the Potential of Landscape Urbanism in Dubai
Abstract:
Landscape Urbanism has been, to date, a theory emerging primarily from the
Western world. This paper counters the Western focus by exploring the
potential of Landscape Urbanism theory in Dubai. In a previous article
published by the author, landscape architecture in Dubai has been
identified as diverging from the tenets of the various charters of the
International Federation of Landscape Architects (IFLA), having apparently
scant regard for pressing ecological, social and cultural design issues.
Landscape Urbanism in this paper is discussed with respect to its ability
to bolster the practice of landscape architecture in Dubai in relation to
these issues. The paper argues that a number of key facets of Landscape
Urbanism appear difficult to reconcile with the ecological, social and
cultural conditions of Dubai. Further to this, it tends to lack the tools
by which landscape urbanists in Dubai could link theory with practice.

Title: Hani Rice Terraces of Honghe - The Harmonious Landscape of Nature and Humans
Abstract:
The Honghe Hani Rice Terraces, set in the mountainous slopes that flow to
the valleys of the Hong River in the southern Yunnan Province, is a
cultural product of rice farming. The rice terraces were created by a
particular ethnic group that utilised the water and vegetation resources
of their unique geography and climate. Today, after hundreds of years of
cumulative effort, the terraces constitute a breathtaking cultural
landscape. The rice production technology interwoven with the local
people's cultural spirituality and governance is a unique way of living
that has been developing over a thousand years, creating and maintaining a
spectacular landscape. The Hani Rice Terraces in the Honghe region of
China's Yunnan province was inscribed as a cultural landscape on the World
Heritage List in 2013 for bearing a unique testimony to a cultural
tradition and as an outstanding example of traditional human land-use.
This study describes the unique property with its spatial structure of
forest water and village terrace systems and discusses the physical
factors that sustain this landscape. Indivisible from the landscape is the
culture of the local Hani people, their land-use and management, along
with their traditional practices and spiritual values that sustain the
landscape. In recent years, this extraordinary, expansive region has
become a popular destination for photographers, anthropologists,
folklorists, ethnologists and scholars studying traditional villages. The
study also raises issues on how the landscape can be maintained in
contemporary times with tourism and modern living aspirations.

Title: Valuing the Cultural Landscapes Past and Present: Tea Plantations in Sri Lanka
Abstract:
The study focuses on tea plantation cultural landscapes in Sri Lanka and
its historical formation, present issues and future considerations. [Sri
Lanka was known as Ceylon before 1972. At present, the country uses Sri
Lanka for all related documents.] According to the research, the tea
estate is identified as the main building unit of tea heritage. This paper
reveals the historical formation of tea heritage and its contribution to
the existing landscape. This study focuses on the Nuwara Eliya region, as
it is the main area for tea cultivation. The present condition of tea
plantations in Sri Lanka is derived through a survey conducted in
Labookellie estate, Blue Field estate and Pedro estate. Past and the
present circumstances are examined through analysis of literature,
topographical maps and site observations, while interviews with outsiders
(foreign visitors) were used to strengthen the thoughts on tea plantation
landscapes. This paper reveals basic concepts such as agriculture as a
heritage, active agriculture and value added through future conservation
and development procedure. The paper first discusses the formation of tea
estates and governing factors. Second, the paper explains estate
settlement as the main building block of tea heritage with researched case
studies and explains existing landscape values. Third, the paper explains
future thoughts on the tea plantation landscapes in Sri Lanka. Opinions of
foreign visitors to the plantation are considered as a valuable
contribution to the conclusions. The paper stresses the importance of
understanding tea estate cultural landscapes and their heritage value for
future planning and the conservation priorities in Sri
Lanka.

Title: Changes to Continuing Landscapes: Industrialisation of Australia's Productive Rural Lands
Abstract:
Changes in scale and economies of Australia's productive agricultural
lands from small-scale family owned farms of mixed stock/crop production
to large-scale agglomerations of vast monocultures especially grains and
cotton will be examined. Rural heritage listing is concentrated on
nineteenth century colonial rural homesteads, woolsheds and associated
processing buildings and estates, mainly the built components of a
designed landscape, or on forested lands in national parks and
conservation reserves. Heritage landscapes associated with intensive
production on small holdings specialising in vegetables, vineyards or
orchards are under threat from subdivision for suburban expansion and
rural lifestyle or hobby farms with associated development of utilities
and access routes. The decline in sheep farming and its replacement in
some regions by grain-growing agglomerations and the national spread of
cattle raising has led to much abandonment of rural infrastructure.
Agriculture has become more productive, but many cultural landscapes have
not been identified as such for protection under local planning schemes.
How much change should be permitted in small-scale 'traditional' rural
landscapes and when do large-scale agri-business landscapes become
significant?

Title: Heritage Values and Agricultural Landscapes: Towards a New Synthesis
Abstract:
The conservation of agricultural heritage is an emerging field that offers
opportunities for integrating heritage values into strategies for
environmental, economic and social sustainability in rural areas in the
US. Even though farmsteads and ranches are iconic representations of rural
communities, little attention has been given to the cultural heritage
values of agricultural landscapes or in agricultural policy. Climate
change, global market drivers and significant demographic shifts threaten
agrarian resources. Today, there is an urgent need to address the loss of
agricultural land and enhance the sustainability of agricultural systems.
This article argues that it is timely to consider heritage as an integral
part of developing strategies to adapt agricultural systems and make them
more resilient. Some promising recent efforts demonstrate that heritage
designations, partnerships and stewardship programmes offer strategic
advantages and should be an integral part of a broader set of agricultural
reforms, creating a new synthesis.

Title: Old Roads and Memories of St Henrik of Finland
Abstract:
The growing interest in pilgrimages has led to their being organised in
Finland--a traditionally protestant country. They are certainly arranged
with the best of intentions. Yet, the 'St Henrik's Road', which purports
to follow a mediaeval pilgrim route between Turku and Kokem�ki, leaves
much to be desired. There is no evidence that such a route ever
existed--the hypotheses about it have been accepted much too uncritically.
The present propaganda for the pilgrimages along 'St Henrik's Road' lulls
the general public into believing that the fragments of the mediaeval
landscapes connected with the memories of Henrik, the national saint of
Finland, are taken care of. The finances for the management of cultural
landscapes are, however, scarce, and other sites more truly connected with
the history of the saint, or of greater historical importance, are
therefore in danger of being neglected.

Title: Ui-won: The 18-19C Joseon Scholar's Garden of Imagination
Abstract:
A ui-won is a garden created by and enjoyed through the mind by
late-Joseon dynasty scholars. Its enjoyment was however not always
constrained to the mind, as at times it was reproduced into forms such as
the written word and painting. The garden is the stage where one strives
to transcend human limits and finitude, the mise-en-sc�ne created by
imagination and inspiration. The ui-won is the product of the effort to
create this realm through the imagination. The practice of ui-won began in
earnest during the eighteenth century, when the economy and culture of the
Joseon society prospered and matured. In the difficult and unsympathetic
life that scholars in the city led, a ui-won appeased the pang of
unfulfilled desires in reality while vicariously gratifying the dream of
spiritual transcendence. Also, as it was shared among fellow scholars in
the form of poetry, essays and paintings as a sophisticated form of
leisure, it facilitated the communication and understanding between them.
The ui-won, satisfying the aesthetic taste and cultural demand of the time
with its foundation on a hypothetical world of free imagination, also
sheds light on the contemporary quest for a new way of communicating
gardens in this digital age.

Title: Large-scale Disasters on World Heritage and Cultural Heritage in Japan: Significant Impacts and Sustainable Management Cases
Abstract:
On 11 March 2011, the East Japan Great Earthquake occurred off the east
coast of Japan. This magnitude 9 earthquake caused a tsunami of 8-9 m
in height, which subsequently reached an upstream height of up to
40 m, causing extensive damage over a 500-km span along the east
coast of Japan. Damage was caused to 295 National Cultural Properties of
Japan, most of which was due to the associated tsunamis rather than the
earthquake. Particularly, significant damage was seen in the coastal
cultural landscapes. In addition, Japan has extremely large typhoons every
year. In recent years, it has not been unusual to see typhoon-caused
storms, heavy rains and flooding, causing intensive damage such as
landslides to World Heritage properties and their buffer zones. Such
damage is seen in the pilgrimage routes of the "Sacred Sites and
Pilgrimage Routes in the Kii Mountain Range" and in the natural elements
of their associated cultural landscapes. The author presents a report on
the damage from the East Japan Great Earthquake and other disasters on
World Heritage and cultural heritage, and on their increasing occurrence
in Japan. A discussion on remedial measures and the need for sustainable
protection and management for World Heritage and other significant
heritage is included.

Title: Burrup Peninsula: Cultural Landscape and Industrial Hub, a 21st Century Conundrum
Abstract:
The Dampier Archipelago, situated on the north-western coast of Australia,
arguably contains the world's greatest concentration of engraved rock art.
It is also one of Australia's largest bulk handling ports. Iron ore
brought from the inland, gas processed from offshore wells and locally
produced sea salt are all sent off to ever-growing international markets.
Many regard the wealth generation and job opportunities as benefits
without issue. For others, they witness the destruction of an important
cultural landscape and rail against the encroaching industry. Aboriginal
people hold an integral link to country and all the features (natural and
cultural) within this landscape. It is part of their cultural inheritance
to maintain and respect the environment and spiritual realm. In 2007,
recognising the rock art and other cultural values of the Dampier
Archipelago, including Burrup Peninsula, the archipelago was placed on the
Australian National Heritage List. Is this enough protection? Many think
not.

Title: Ian McHarg's Ecological Planning in The Woodlands, Texas: Lessons Learned after Four Decades
Abstract:
The Woodlands, Texas, is well known as a new town development (29,000
acres) that followed Ian McHarg's ecological planning approach. Primarily
by literature review, this paper indicated that early development that
followed McHarg's approach has met the original planning goals to preserve
the forest environment and to minimize the development impacts on
watershed hydrology. McHarg's approach was largely abandoned after the
ownership change in 1997. Barriers came from each side of the development:
homeowner (demand), developer (provider), designer (professional service)
and government (policy-maker). The Woodlands' environmental planning
success in early development was also attributed to developer George
Mitchell's personal commitment and financial support, the US Housing and
Urban Development's $50 million loan, and the relatively flexible planning
system in the 1970s. However, in the current planning and economic
systems, it would be a hard undertaking to replicate McHarg's ecological
planning approach at this scale.

Title: Designed Outdoor Spaces and Greenery in a Brownfield Inner City Area: A Case Study from Sydney
Abstract:
The concept of designed green outdoor spaces that can be included in
inner-city Sydney residential areas has recently generated much interest
among savvy developers and architects alike. Given the paucity of open
park-like spaces in inner Sydney and the current drive for urban
consolidation--though the concept has been endorsed--yet, the detailed
implications of such green spaces in the design and layout of residential
complexes have received less attention. Drawing on 'architect-user'
interface for analysis, this article centres discussion around a study
that was conducted at designed residential complexes with perimeter block
configuration in an inner Sydney precinct. It uses a questionnaire survey,
architects' interviews and observations. T-tests for
equality of means are carried out on use variables of outdoor spaces to
find out whether there is a significant difference between the dwelling
height groups and complex groups. A narrative of space use is then drawn
in with the responses of involved architects. Some of the questions that
we probe are the following: Do the users in particular higher density
residential settings value thoughtfully designed spaces? Are designers
aware of the users' responses to the outdoor spaces? Given the fact that
designers rarely revisit a completed project--is there congruence between
the users' perceptions of the outdoor spaces and the designers' initial
intentions? Results show that designed features and green spaces are
equally effective in creating successful outdoor spaces.

The integration of landscape connectivity criteria into spatial planning
through ecological networks formed by coherent open space systems has
received increasing attention in Europe in the last few decades. In Spain,
such integration began recently, in parallel with the development of a
supralocal comprehensive spatial planning policy, which was practically
non-existent a decade ago. An assessment of such integration is reported
here, specifically on ecological networks inclusion within the spatially
explicit zoning regulations of 11 regional and 66 subregional plans which
had been approved in Spain until the end of 2012. At the same time, a
survey was conducted among 22 Spanish and 14 European practitioners in
order to detect possible deficiencies and opportunities to optimise this
integration in Spain through a comparison with other European countries.
An increasing integration of ecological networks into supralocal plans was
observed, especially in subregional plans approved in the last five years,
coinciding with a period of greater development in supralocal spatial
planning policy, the end of the Spanish speculative housing bubble and new
national legislation which encourages the promotion of ecological
networks. However, the integration process is very uneven because
homogeneous guidelines are not applied in the different regions. Spanish
practitioners discerned wide room for improvement. The integration of
ecological networks into multiscale spatial planning should be optimised
in Spain, including improvements in local planning, strategic
environmental assessment and training of planners in this topic.

Title: Are Perceived Sensory Dimensions a Reliable Tool for Urban Green Space Assessment and Planning?
Abstract:
Environmental psychologists have developed varying methods for landscape
assessment according to how it is perceived and experienced. In the Nordic
countries, eight perceived sensory dimensions are increasingly being used
as a methodological framework for expert assessments. These are serene,
nature, rich in species, space, prospect, refuge, social and culture.
Using an onsite questionnaire distributed to green space visitors in
Helsingborg, Sweden, this study is the first to examine the representation
of the eight sensory dimensions in different types of urban green spaces
as experienced by lay people and their relationships with green space
attributes. The results showed that (1) prospect then serene and space
were the most common, and culture and social the least; (2) the experience
of the sensory dimensions varied across the six study sites and was
related to their diversity of biotopes and overall size; and (3)
respondent experience of the sensory dimensions was consistent across
gender, age and frequency and type of recreational use. These results
grant legitimacy to the method in assessment and mapping of recreational
experience of urban green space.

Title: Regional Landscape Change in Fishing Communities of the Mexican North Pacific
Abstract:
The study of rural communities is a key element in understanding economic
activities and conserving successful methods of resource management and
social organisation. The conceptual and operational research axes were
interdisciplinary environmental geography and integrative concept
landscape. A participatory geographic information system (PGIS) was built
to incorporate scientific and local knowledge. Regional landscape changes
were analysed in fishing communities of the Mexican North Pacific, based
on three historical maps. The main land- and seascape changes were:
extensive stockbreeding disappeared; intensive agriculture increased;
human settlements expanded; and fishing zones were created, divided and
expanded seawards. Marine environment was the most changeable territory,
reflecting the dominance of fishing activities. The PGIS proved to be a
useful tool for identifying and understanding the changes in fishery
management and the resulting dynamics of marine landscape zoning in the
various communities, and in future projects would be equally applicable to
coastal management and territorial organisation.

Title: Historical Gardens at Risk of the Destruction by Visitors, Case Study of El-Goli Garden (Iran)
Abstract:
This study, which was conducted on the only surviving garden of the
historic gardens in the city of Tabriz in Iran (i.e. the garden of
El-Goli), closely examines its importance and place in the Iranian art of
gardening. El-Goli garden is considered as an important place in the city
by foreign and local tourists. However, in recent years, with the
development of Tabriz and consequently the increased need for green space
and recreational areas for citizens, this historic garden has become a
public promenade and park. This paper examines the risks and threats posed
by the change in land use. Since visitors are the main threats, a
questionnaire was developed to identify their reasons for visiting the
garden, their behaviour in the garden and how they use this historic
garden. The questionnaire was completed by 100 visitors who were randomly
selected. The table of frequency for each variable was prepared using SPSS
software. Finally, the results show that most visitors not only are
unaware of the historical value, but also come to the garden for other
purposes such as recreation, leisure and use of facilities and so on.
Thus, their attitudes and behaviours will pave the way for the destruction
of the garden.

Title: The Trees of the Sacred Natural Sites of Zagori, NW Greece
Abstract:
Cultural landscapes can often be identified by the presence of sacred
trees which have been retained and can be recognised as distinctive
veteran trees. The characteristics of these trees such as huge size and
longevity give them an enduring presence in the landscape, while their
conceptualisation as the 'domesticated' wild, transform them into symbols
of spirituality and local history. In Zagori, NW Greece, trees gain
sanctity by virtue of proximity or connection with sacred sites often
associated with churches. In these sites, trees can grow into natural
shapes as a result of strong taboos, which prevent use for private needs.
There is an association between tree species and the nature of the sacred
site: broadleaved oaks and maples are associated with outlying churches;
plane trees are located in central squares, next to the church and provide
a focal point for community life, while in cemeteries native evergreens
are nowadays replaced by planted conifers. In the present day local
communities appreciate sacred trees as living elements of their collective
memory and local history.

Title: Landscape and heritage: trajectories and consequences
Abstract:
The recent histories of heritage and landscape studies appear to be
closely linked, with their epistemological, ideological and methodological
twists and turns progressing amid a common broad intellectual and
interdisciplinary space. This has not been a codependent evolution, but
rather, a mutually supporting and often parallel endeavour of academic,
policy and popular inquiry that explores the significance of landscape and
heritage as meaningful categories of an emergent and processual nature.
Despite such a parallel trajectory, however, the actual practices of
landscape and heritage studies still have a good deal to learn from
further conversation. In particular, the paper explores how a heritage
sensibility might provide some supportive critical purchase for some
recent work within landscape studies that draws on phenomenological and
non-representational theories. Thus, the paper sets out the co-ordinates
of how work within landscape studies and heritage studies can move forward
through an interdisciplinary dialogue.

Title: Senses of Place, Senses of Time: Landscape History from a British Perspective
Abstract:
A vast and varied literature exists on the history and archaeology of
vernacular landscapes, yet still heritage 'value' is often weighted
towards the extravagant landscapes created by powerful elites. This
article is concerned to bring the wealth of historic landscape and
archival research closer together with recent theoretical writing on
landscape and dwelling, by focusing on the early modern period in
particular. Recent theoretical approaches open up creative space for
thinking through the archival material and invites landscape historians to
think in terms of movement and dwelling as essential to understanding
landscape at the human scale. As this article attempts to show, this is by
no means a one-sided dialogue; rather historical landscape research can
inform theoretical work in new and productive ways. Bridging the gaps
between research areas has the potential to enrich our understanding of
everyday landscapes as heritage, created by ordinary people going about
their day-to-day activities. The paper argues for the importance of
recasting mundane, commonplace features of the landscape--roads, fields
and boundaries--as an essential part of our social and cultural landscape
heritage. Read in this light, the archival sources suggest that the
meanings afforded to the extant remains of the past in the landscape were
made through intangible heritage practices, customs, memories, naming,
rituals and performances by 'ordinary' people.

Title: Administration, Landscape and Authorized Heritage Discourse - Contextualising the Nationally Valuable Landscape Areas of Finland
Abstract:
In 2010, the Finnish Ministry of the Environment launched a re-evaluation
and revision of the 1993 inventory of Nationally Valuable Landscape Areas
(NVLAs). While the inventory works for implementation of the National Land
Use Guidelines, it also showcases the use of landscapes in Finnish
national heritage policy. Based on critical readings of three influential
Finnish administrative landscape policy reports, I claim that NVLAs, as
tools of heritage policy, are based on the approaches and methodologies
that have supported Finland's development into a modern nation state by
providing tools for intellectual governance of the national past and
territory. Rather than meeting the diversity of landscape conceptions, as
defined in the European Landscape Convention, the NVLAs run a risk of
being in conflict with citizens and actors that do not share the
administrative assumption of landscapes as public containers of national
heritage.

Title: Modernity, Heritage and Landscape: The Housing Estate as Heritage
Abstract:
Housing estates are rarely considered as specific landscapes with
particular histories, social and physical fabrics, let alone considered of
relevance to heritage debates. Both popularly and among experts, housing
estates are often taken to be the symbols and materialisation of
modernity's failed planning and architecture, and consequently socially
alienating and homogenising environments. In this article, we present
findings from a qualitative study among residents in a housing estate in
Trondheim, Norway. It is argued that the residents' processual perspective
on landscape, heritage and home produces an understanding of the housing
estate, which rests on what the housing estate offers, rather than what it
lacks. A processual perspective hence allows for a more critical
understanding, socially and morphologically, not only of estate living "on
the ground", but of hegemonic discourses of contested relations between
heritage, landscape and modernity.

Title: A Journey to the Heart: Affecting Engagement at Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park
Abstract:
This paper examines how Indigenous cultures and their connections to
country are presented to the public in protected areas through a textual
analysis of interpretive signage. In protected areas, different
representational tropes are used to interpret colonial/settler, natural
heritage and Indigenous landscapes and places. This paper begins by
exploring the extent to which these contrasting interpretive strategies
signify to visitors a hierarchy of place value in protected areas. It then
asks whether the signage at Indigenous places alienates contemporary
communities from country and history through a distant and detached view
of culture, authorised via the template of scientific objectivity. These
questions will be explored through an account that concludes with a
consideration of the affective registers afforded to visitors within the
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National
Park.

Title: Hardscrabble Heritage: The Ruined Blackhouse and Crofting Landscape as Heritage from below
Abstract:
This article explores a particular materialisation of the relationship
between landscape, heritage and identity. Understood as heritage from
below, the emphasis is on the role of non-elites in the constitutive
processes of landscape and the place/space of the past in the present. The
landscape at the heart of this study is that of the ruined blackhouse, an
intrinsic part and mnemonic of crofting identity in the Scottish
Highlands. These quotidian and mundane spaces are constituted by routine
habits which, together with the material 'left-behinds' of a past way of
life, comprise landmarks to place making from below and within. For
members of the crofting community, the blackhouse is understood and
experienced as inheritance from the past and source of everyday affectual
and sensual entanglements. This rural ruin is thus an intrinsic part of
the crofting taskscape, the past drawn into the present as a form of
cultural heritage from below.

Title: Putting the Plan into Practice: Implementation of Proposals for Measures of Local Landscape Plans
Abstract: The knowledge of the effectiveness of local landscape planning in Germany is in the main limited to particular cases and derives mostly from qualitative single case studies. This applies especially to the implementation of measures defined by landscape plans. To fill that gap, the paper focuses on the implementation of those measures. Furthermore, it discusses the factors and framework conditions which are crucial for this implementation. The potential factors and conditions of influence were derived from theory and compiled in 20 investigation hypotheses. In order to gain information on the execution of the measures, 28 randomly selected plans were first analysed, then interviews were carried out with administration representatives. It can be stated that landscape planning has positively influenced the development of nature and landscape in the investigated municipalities. A considerable number of measures had been implemented, although landscape planning as a supply-side instrument proposes generally a very large number of measures. Factors with a positive effect on the implementation of landscape planning measures are pointed out.

Title: Are There Counter-Landscapes? On Milk Trestles and Invisible Power Lines
Abstract: The paper takes its starting point from the duality in the Estonian rural landscape shaped by social practices. On the one hand, the changes and management of landscapes follow a political decision. At the same time, the old patterns of semi-legal activity offer a resistant practice. The study is illustrated with the milk trestle, a now-disappeared symbol of recent history in the Soviet countryside. The milk trestles and their role in Estonian country life are studied from a threefold perspective—their functions, meanings and the values behind this symbol. The article is based on ethnographic field work carried out between the years of 2001 and 2002 and traces the phenomenon of how living landscape transforms into deserted landscape; in other words, how story becomes history. The paper shows how the milk trestle landscape functioned as a prolongation of the former landscape behind the ideological layers of the Soviet landscapes.

Title: Using Place Names for Mapping the Distribution of Vanishing Historical Landscape Features: The Field System in Northwest Spain
Abstract: This paper explores the potential for using place names for the identification of historical landscape features characteristic of the agras field system in Northwest Spain. We first evaluated statistically the significance of a set of targeted place names as predictors of agras presence. We then analysed the spatio-temporal distribution of agras using place names from historical records and rural cadastre cartography. Results indicated that there was a significant correspondence between selected terms and agras spatial distribution. Field names showed a strong inertia in time, remaining despite recent land use changes but also in a long-term context, as they indicate the former presence of agras in a coastal sector that disappeared around the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Our findings suggest that identification of historical landscape features by means of place names could be of interest for further landscape research, with application in landscape inventory, monitoring and landscape restoration.

Title: Engineering the Rural Idyll: Road Construction and the Peri-urban Landscape in Belgium, 1925–1940
Abstract: As in many other Western countries, the road network in Belgium was subject to an extensive modernisation project during the interbellum period. This paper analyses how this project affected the relationship between the road and landscape. In the absence of a comprehensive landscape project for road construction from the government, other parties played an important role in defining the road's relation to the landscape. Through their publications, images and discourses, an idealised image of landscape—a rural idyll—became interwoven with the narrative of the modern road. We will first position this Belgian project vis-à-vis other road projects abroad, and describe why landscape was a non-issue for the Belgian government and its engineers. Subsequently, we will examine how other parties—the road association, the construction industry, urban planners and architects—appropriated fragments of landscape to frame or support their own projects.

Title: The Urban West and the Rural Rest: Framing in Dutch Regional Planning in the 1950s
Abstract: This paper draws on the case of Dutch regional planning in the 1950s to investigate how ‘urban space’ and ‘rural space’ have traditionally been perceived as opposing concepts. During this decade, politicians, planners and policy-makers constructed an image of an overdeveloped, urban, industrial centre on the one hand, and an underdeveloped, rural, agricultural periphery on the other. Rooted in a debate about the ‘harmonious’ development of the Netherlands, this image made a substantial contribution to the schematic understanding of urban and rural space. Examining this frame as an historical construct helps to reveal the anachronistic character of many of the urban-rural differentiations that are made today.

Title: Contested Landscapes of Urban Sprawl: Landscape Protection and Regional Planning in Scania, Sweden, 1932–1947
Abstract: Studies in landscape and planning history are used here in order to critically examine the debate on urban sprawl and to reveal embedded conflicts within spatial planning aiming to curb sprawl. The paper aims to illustrate this with an examination of one of the earliest attempts to control peri-urban development at a regional level in Sweden. The discourse on sprawl is first introduced and the fruitfulness of landscape studies in capturing inherent and conflicting aims within planning is examined. Subsequent analysis of the seemingly scattered and weak spatial planning of the 1930s and 1940s in Scania, Sweden, reveals an ad hoc regional plan, developed primarily in order to curb scattered development. The importance of the landscape discourse for the development of the plan, as well as the contradictory treatment of urban sprawl (on a local and regional level), is demonstrated. The final part discusses the importance of this historiography for the ability to deal with the current planning situation. The conclusion is that urban sprawl is not necessarily the result of weak or absent planning, but rather of embedded contradictions within planning; therefore stronger planning will never be sufficient as long as the inherent conflicts within the plans (and in the landscape they help create) remain unresolved.

Title: Landscapes of Challenge and Change: Contested Views of the Cairngorms National Park
Abstract: The Scottish model of national parks reflects wider changes in the management of special or protected landscapes. This paper uses Ingold's dwelling conceptualisation of landscape to reflect on how material and cultural processes affect stakeholders' perceptions of the Cairngorms National Park in Scotland, UK. Important to understanding different views, is the separation, unique to the Cairngorms, of ‘the park’ from its management organisation. The paper argues that this separation creates a conceptual space for the negotiation of contested claims regarding the park. Such claims reflect not only the relationship between people and place, or as Ingold (2000) puts it, the landscape as it is known to those who dwell in it; they also represent vested interests and regimes of power concerning what happens in specific places. These claims do not reproduce simple splits between, for example, public/private or conservation/development but show a more complex picture.

Title: Resounding the landscape: the sonic impress of and the story of Eyam, plague village
Abstract:
This paper addresses how we might access, understand and analyse the sounds of a landscape that are lost to history; unless captured or recorded in some way, the sounds of a landscape disappear as they appear. This paper argues that we can re-enliven such momentary sonics through the practice of resounding. Herein sonic acts are performed, as the landscape is encountered, which attempt to collapse the time between the now and the past in order to conjure imaginative and affective connections to a landscape’s historical freight. The plague village of Eyam in Derbyshire, UK, is practised in this manner and the affective-imaginative rendering of its landscape of loss and heroism is documented. Through a sonic attunement to the village and its environs, the paper argues that resounding offers productive ways of thinking, sensing and listening to a landscape’s past and present.

Title: Seeing with light and landscape: a walk around Stanton Moor
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the much-neglected contribution of light to the conceptualisation of landscape. I discuss how light circulates through our visual system and around the spaces we see, refuting notions that we can be detached from the landscapes that we view and characterise. Though we see with the vital light and the landscape, I emphasise that our experiences are invariably entangled with prevalent cultural values, meanings and representations. By drawing upon the experience of walking around an area of raised moorland in the Peak District, I suggest that the experience of particular landscapes can be distinguished by the changing light that radiates upon them and to which we continuously become attuned. By composing an autoethnographic account that highlights key moments when its effects seemed particularly acute, I exemplify the distinctive ways in which the shifting light interacts with elements within this particular landscape.

Title: ‘The Land to Forget Time’: tourism, caving and writing in the Derbyshire White Peak
Abstract:
This article explores the relationship between three cultural practices which engage with the subterranean limestone landscapes of the Derbyshire White Peak: showcave tourism, sport caving and literary landscape writing. It suggests that modern tourism and caving perform and represent the Peak ‘underland’ in distinctive but interrelated ways which have deep roots in the tourism of the past, as a landscape which is both wonderful and ordinary, solitary and sociable, ancient and everyday, and examines some contemporary landscape writing which draws on both representational conventions. The article argues that the White Peak landscape should be understood as a ‘vertical’ geography which is both physically and culturally multilayered, and suggests that this layeredness can become flattened in geographies which focus on the surface landscape and aim to capture a unified sense of place.

Title: Festive landscapes: the contemporary practice of well-dressing in Tissington
Abstract:
Well-dressing is a festive practice that takes place in many Derbyshire Villages. Each summer wooden boards are coated in clay and flower petals are pressed into them to make pictures, these are then used to adorn local wells and water sources. This article examines well-dressing in the village of Tissington in relation to different aspects of the Peak District Landscape. It argues that well-dressing is the product of specific geological characteristics of the landscape. It asserts that the practice produces new forms of affective landscape. These include readings of the botanical landscapes and the community landscapes that form around the event. It goes on to argue that well-dressing also makes visible a hegemonic landscape that structures village life. Detailed analysis of this event reveals connections between the local and the global and articulates a set of diverse landscapes which texture contemporary rural life.

Title: Fragmentary landscapes: explorations through the detritus of the Peak District
Abstract:
The southern Peak District, like many rural regions of the United Kingdom privileges a particular ‘way of seeing’ the landscape, a Romantic spectacle reinforced in contemporary heritage practices. Yet, the spectacle contains a series of fragments and spaces that resist easy categorisation. This paper proposes a way to account for some of these fragments of the landscape by foregrounding how they constitute a constellation that contribute to its making and unmaking. This is explored in the subversive practices, unwanted fragments and local narratives that showcase an ‘alternative telling’ of the landscape that simultaneously performs a different kind of heritage.

Title: A poetic playground: collaborative practices in the Peak District
Abstract:
The literary map of the Peak District is surprisingly thin. This article explores how this lacuna has been addressed by a range of contemporary writers who have made the Peak District a site of poetic hyperactivity: a landscape of creative processes and practices; projects and poems of place. Paying particular attention to texts by Helen Mort, Mark Goodwin and Alec Finlay, the article contends that much contemporary Peak District poetry is underpinned by imaginative and formal experimentation: a shared commitment to the exploration of new ways of perceiving, practising and representing landscape which is characterised by a collective playfulness. Moreover, the article argues that much contemporary Peak District poetry is shaped by collaboration as the poets placed under critical scrutiny share a preoccupation with finding new creative methodologies to articulate the communal experience of being-in-landscape.

Title: Utilising exotic flora in support of urban indigenous biodiversity: lessons for landscape architecture
Abstract:
Evidence shows that in the absence of intact natural habitats, some exotic patches of vegetation may play a compensatory role in supporting indigenous biodiversity in urban environments. This paper suggests that in urban settings where landscapes already contain non-natives, both indigenous and exotic flora may be necessary to maintain indigenous biodiversity. The research was constructed based upon a review of the current literature combined with a GIS-based spatial analysis of urban landscape patterns, using Wellington New Zealand as a case study. The research provides evidence concerning different aspects of utilising indigenous and exotic plant species to argue that a balanced proportion of indigenous to exotic plants may be advantageous in order to respond to some aspects of biodiversity loss. The results have three immediate implications for landscape architecture practices at the urban scale and reveal important issues that should be addressed by future research.

Title: Using contingent valuation and choice experiment to value the impacts of agri-environmental practices on landscapes aesthetics
Abstract:
This study explores the willingness to pay (WTP) for an improvement of the environmental situation in agricultural areas with a specific focus on landscape aesthetics. We used the contingent valuation method to measure the discrete value of landscape aesthetics externalities produced by different beneficial management practices implementation scenarios. The choice experiment method was also used to measure the economic value of other ecosystem services in order to situate landscape in consumers’ preferences among other non-market benefits produced by agri-environmental practices. We found important WTP for landscape aesthetics improvement, as well as for other ecosystem services, such as water quality and fish diversity.

Title: Landscape heterogeneity correlates with recreational values: a case study from Swedish agricultural landscapes and implications for policy
Abstract:
Agri-environmental schemes are often targeted at heterogenic landscapes to support several ecosystem services besides food production. The question is whether heterogenic landscapes also support recreation values. Previous studies suggest this but statistical analysis of the relation between heterogeneity and recreation is lacking. To assess this, we used a quantitative Landscape Heterogeneity Index (LHI), developed for biodiversity conservation. We asked five different user groups to score 12 photographs of landscapes depicting different LHI. All user groups, especially conservationists and hunters, preferred the heterogeneous landscapes and this difference was statistically significant for all groups except farmers. Accessibility, in terms of roads, had no obvious impact on the recreational value conveyed by the photos. The paper provides evidence that the recreational value amplifies biodiversity-based values of heterogeneous landscapes and argues that such landscapes also provide resilience and insurance value buffering against unexpected risks. Implications for policy are discussed.Highlights•Recreational value was positively correlated to landscape heterogeneity.•This correlation was statistically significant for all user groups except farmers.•Accessibility, in terms of roads, had no obvious impact on the recreational value.•The multi-functionality of heterogeneous agricultural landscapes including resilience and the insurance value should be better acknowledged in policy.

Title: Conservation of historical landscapes: What signifies ‘successful’ management?
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the management of an industrial heritage site in Sweden, which local stakeholders and heritage planners have claimed to be successful. This status of excellence is investigated in relation to the general, county-wide applied heritage planning. The results show that key factors for successful management of the industrial heritage site are not related only to conservation work, but also to personal engagement, sense of responsibility, and well-being among participants. However, heritage planners generally lack methods to address immaterial values and socio-economic benefits of engaging in heritage activities, resulting in a separation between physical and communal aspects of heritage planning. The results highlight the issue of professional legitimacy and the challenges for heritage planners to address regional policy objectives, such as finding ways to utilise historic landscapes in destination-driven strategies and to simultaneously support civil engagement in heritage-related issues.

Title: Landscape fragmentation and urban sprawl in the urban region of Milan
Abstract:
Spatial expansion of cities appears to be unavoidable. Despite concern around landscape alterations caused by urban expansion, the understanding of the amounts and patterns of this phenomenon is sorely lacking. In this study, we quantified the current pattern of landscape fragmentation in the urban region (UR) of Milan and analysed the trend of urban sprawl over more than 50 years. The UR of Milan was spatially defined using a standardised and repeatable methodology that combines land-use and population density data. Fragmentation was assessed using the effective mesh size (meff). The trend of sprawl was monitored between 1954 and 2012 and over different areas to detect the magnitude (amount and direction) and patterns of changes. Results revealed a positive trend and a high degree of sprawl over the whole study area.

Title: Walks through the multi-layered landscape of Šavrinkas’ Istria: eggs, books, backpacks and stony paths
Abstract:
Istria, a peninsula in the Adriatic, has always been a place through which many roads have passed and where boundaries have constantly changed. This paper takes up a concrete route and discusses it from three different perspectives: as a trade route connecting rural Istria with the city of Trieste and used in the twentieth century by women traders called Šavrinkas; the Šavrinkas’ route as transposed into a work of literature; and as an ethnographic route, specifically the track that we ourselves traversed and documented. The purpose of our study is to discuss the interrelation between routes, narratives and walking, while walking is deployed as a cognitive and methodological tool. By discussing these questions, the article contributes to the general debates within landscape research, while it also elaborates on walking as a practice of understanding as well as a method enabling a smooth entrance of the researcher into the research field.

Title: Assessment of landscape composition and configuration via spatial metrics combination: conceptual framework proposal and method improvement
Abstract:
Landscape transformations have been a central topic in landscape ecology due to their influence on ecosystem services and biodiversity conservation. Landscape dynamics can be very complex and one of the most difficult issues to analyse is the contribution and the effects of landscape composition and configuration changes to the overall impact. We enhanced an existing approach designed to assess landscape transformation via metrics combination. Based on the area and the number of patches, we defined a Landscape Dynamics Typology (LDT) with eight different dynamics. The agro-forestry areas dynamics between 1990 and 2006, in Portugal, is presented as a practical example to show the implementation steps and the outputs obtained. A diagnostic tree is provided to help identify which dynamics are present. This new method provides detailed results concerning the location of the different dynamics within a landscape. The LDT is a versatile tool and is able to accommodate upgrades.

Title: Peri-urban agriculture in Barcelona: outlining landscape dynamics vis à vis socio-environmental functions
Abstract:
Dispersed urbanisation promotes complex relationships between rural areas and the urban fringe, with emerging new functions for peri-urban agriculture (PUA). Although PUA is a type of productive farming of interest for urban planning due to its recognised functions, comparative analyses are needed to relate farm dynamics to fringe landscape modifications in different socio-economic contexts. Given the current limitation of specific methodologies to analyse PUA dynamics, a quantitative approach profiling farm types and the related landscape structure in an expanding urban region, the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona, is proposed. Results indicate that PUA is based on five typologies with different territorial values, as a consequence of diverse economic relevance, socio-environmental weight and landscape prominence. Based on these results, a conservation strategy aimed at preserving the residual PUA landscape is proposed through the promotion of a polycentric functional network of farming with natural vegetation.

Title: Expanding the social performance of food production landscapes: measuring health and well-being benefits
Abstract:
Advocates of integrating food production landscapes within urban, suburban, campus and other design arenas cite multiple and integrated benefits, including enhanced food security and quality; land access for small farmers; psychological and social benefits; educational opportunities; and green infrastructure contributions, among others. If performance can be understood as ‘the fulfilment of a claim’ then landscape performance measures for food production would ideally encompass the overall range of cited benefits. Yet in current practice the performance of food production landscapes tends to be measured in limited ways, most often by weight and value of harvest. The aim of this paper is to identify expanded methods and metrics for measuring the performance of food production landscapes, in particular for health and well-being benefits. Through a transdisciplinary literature review, evidence for mental well-being, physical activity and human nutrition benefits of food production landscapes is presented, and performance metrics and evaluation methods are catalogued.

Title: Farming ruins: a landscape study of incremental urbanisation
Abstract:
This study demonstrates a need for landscape studies of urbanisation in which the slow process of ruination and reuse is considered. The paper argues that a focus on maintenance and repair facilitate symmetrical studies in which the dismantling of former uses and the establishment of new activities and regulations are examined as an incremental process. This is illustrated here using the case study of a contested development project at the fringe of town Skurup, Sweden. The study traces partial dependencies of past planning, arguing that current farms have been successively separated from their previous networks of farming and, in the process, have become entangled in a complex interdependency of urban growth strategies dating back to the 1970s. The case provides a richer understanding of the contested landscape; it demonstrates the insufficiency of new growth boundaries, but also the potential to re-assemble the place, whether for farming or sustainable urban development.

Title: Analysis of landscape performance assessment by key stakeholders in a transfrontier conservation area
Abstract:
Stakeholder engagement has become an important aspect of sustainable natural resources management. This study analysed a landscape performance assessment by local and ‘external’ stakeholders in a transfrontier conservation area in Southern Africa. The landscape was divided into three agro-ecological zones and focus group discussions were facilitated for stakeholders to evaluate the landscape based on four ecoagriculture dimensions (production, conservation, livelihoods and institutions). The conservation dimension showed the best performance and the overall score for the landscape was 2.97, implying a fairly good performance. Perceptions and ratings did not significantly differ by age, gender or stakeholder groups. We conclude that despite their low levels of formal education and training, communal farmers can assess the performance of local landscapes in a consistent way. This study provides information about the degree to which the landscape under focus conformed to the main ecoagriculture goals and can guide development planning and extension service provision.

Title: Mapping potential motorised sightseeing recreation supply across broad privately-owned landscapes of the Southern United States
Abstract:
The recreational opportunities available across landscapes of the Southern United States can be broad and diverse, and collectively are considered a subset of cultural ecosystem services. In describing the settings of recreational opportunities, a number of methods have been proposed that are based in part on geographic information and that can be facilitated by geographical analyses. Presented here are two expedient and cost-effective methods for assessing the recreation supply potential of large, heavily-roaded areas that are situated mainly with privately-owned land in the Southern United States. One land classification process uses fine-scale aerial imagery and other geospatial data in a process that results in three recreational opportunity setting zones with a focus on motorised sightseeing: foreground, background, and remote areas. Within these zones, land cover was derived and aggregated into three major land cover classes, including forest, agriculture, and bare ground classes. Further, a second process uses fuzzy classification methods, and through this highly suitable recreation settings were identified. Each recreational opportunity zone is further subdivided by public- and privately-owned land. We feel these types of recreation setting models can allow managers and planners to gain an understanding of the passive recreation potential of heavily-roaded privately-owned landscapes typical of the Southern United States.

Title: Landscape practice in the Middle East between local and global aspirations
Abstract:
In the Middle East today, there are strong tensions between global and local aspirations in landscape architectural projects. Modernism, introduced to major cities in the Middle East, led to design approaches that are detached from local context, some adopting a tabula rasa attitude to site or inspired by Western models with little adaptation. Ambitious designers who seek to celebrate local values through context-based designs face dilemmas between client-driven global aspirations and local contextual particularities. This perspective essay critically reviews landscape design approaches in the region against discourses of Modernism, regionalism and critical regionalism. Projects in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh and Muscat were examined to provide a spectrum of current trends in landscape practices. Insights gained show that valuing intangible cultural meanings attached to landscapes, acknowledging particular ecological processes and working within the profound connections between culture and ecology, are critical to inform future design strategies.

Title: Integrating time and the third spatial dimension in landscape structure analysis
Abstract:
Over the last decades, landscape metrics have been increasingly used to describe and analyse landscape structure. This article highlights some limitations of standard landscape structure analysis approaches and examines four major developments in this field: ways of integrating the height dimension of surface and vegetation into landscape metrics, the delineation of ‘meaningful’ landscape units comprising the relief, the problem of relating pattern and scale, and the challenges posed by the analysis of the temporal dimension of landscapes. We demonstrate that (1) the integration of height information and gradients into the approach of landscape metrics is both necessary and possible by means of using digital elevation models from remote sensing and novel analysis techniques, (2) the delineation of 3-D landscape units has enormous potential and (3) there are useful methodical extensions for two-dimensional objects in spatiotemporal investigations of landscapes, namely for analysing land use change and for exploring the interrelations between landscape diversity and species diversity.

Title: The pre-Hispanic landscape of the Cerro de Montevideo (Uruguay) in the sixteenth century: first eco-historical study based on biogeography of vegetation and arachnids, historiography and other evidence
Abstract:
The Cerro de Montevideo is a symbolic reference of Uruguay that currently presents an artificialised landscape with environmental deterioration. We used combined techniques including documentary analysis, cartography, remote sensing, biogeographical relict biota, digital recreation and estimated valuation of visual fragility to characterise its pre-Hispanic ecological landscape: a grassy matrix with large patches and corridors of grasslands and woody vegetation, with an estimated intermediate-level visual fragility. The physiognomic changes would have initiated since ca. 1520, much earlier than was formerly proposed (1851), due to supply of firewood from native forests to vessels and livestock introduction by Europeans. Landscape artificialisation by urbanisation and industrialisation was intensified since 1870. Environmental degradation has increased since 1930. For the first time, cryptozoic arachnofauna, visual fragility and digital satellite photographic recreations were included in an historical landscape study. In addition, Dorstenia brasiliensis was found to be the first known identified plant for the Uruguayan flora.

Title: A research frontier in landscape architecture: landscape performance and assessment of social benefits
Abstract:
This paper introduces a research frontier in landscape architecture—landscape performance benefits assessment. In an initiative proposed by the Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF), leading landscape architecture firms and academic institutions have been collaborating on studies that quantitatively assess environmental, economic and social benefits of high-profile landscape design projects. This study describes the components and processes of LAF landscape performance research and specifically evaluates the status of social benefits assessment, a critical though under-investigated aspect of landscape design sustainability. Using 58 published LAF case studies, the study examines to what extent social benefits are quantified compared with stated design goals, the benefits across the LAF case portfolio (e.g. per benefit category and project type), and methods and data options available to perform the analyses. Finally, the study provides suggestions on improving landscape performance research, particularly social benefits, in the enterprise of achieving evidence-based designs that are anchored in quantitative performance measures.

Title: Assessment of land grabbing from protected forest areas of Bhawal National Park in Bangladesh
Abstract:
Land grabbing has become the major problem in all the protected forest areas of Bangladesh during the last two decades. The study was conducted in Bhawal National Park, the tropical moist deciduous Sal (Shorea robusta C.F. Gaertn) forest ecosystem of Bangladesh. This area is going through a critical situation caused by industrial revolution. Already, 255.3 ha forest lands have been grabbed by 354 illegal industrial set-ups from the study area. In this study, grabbing of protected forestland by industries, their types, future grabbing trends, increasing population inside the forest area, causal factors of grabbing and impact on biodiversity have been analysed. Increasing practical conservation efforts supported by strong political will and ordinance for specific areas is essential to conserve the protected areas. Community-based conservation approaches need to be applied for mass awareness regarding the value of this ecosystem for sustainability.

Title: Festivals as a vehicle for place promotion: cars, contestation and the creative city ethos
Abstract:
The creative city proposition has proven highly attractive to policy makers and urban managers all over the world. Creative cities are construed to be dynamic places characterised by diversity, openness and tolerance. As a specific manifestation of this ethos, festivals are equally positioned temporal manifestations of community diversity that foster social development in space. However, not all is as positive as such notions would infer as festivals also herald negative outcomes. Drawing upon a case study of the Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar race and associated motor-sport festival held annually in the City of Adelaide, this article explores this complex policy terrain. Evidenced through analysis of policies pertaining to festival promotion, marketing agendas, participant observation at the Clipsal 500 and interviews with key stakeholders from government and non-government organisations, this article presents a richly textured discussion of the opportunities and challenges facing policy makers considering and managing festivals. In doing so, the article contributes to the literature on festivals and creative economies revealing the complex and contested terrain that confronts policy makers and planners managing festivals as part of a wider city marketing agenda.

Title: Reconstructing nineteenth century landscapes from historical maps—the Survey of Western Palestine as a case study
Abstract:
Geographic information systems allow the extraction and quantitative analysis of information from historical maps. The aims of this research were to examine the completeness of information represented on the 1881 Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) map, to quantitatively reconstruct the landscape of nineteenth century Palestine and to explore whether spatial patterns in land cover/land use can be partially explained statistically by physical and human factors. Using historical aerial photos, we concluded that most of the major past landscape features were indeed shown on the PEF map, with an average overall correspondence of 53%. Forests and Mediterranean maquis were more abundant at distances greater than 2 km from towns and villages. Specific land cover/land-use types were associated with certain soil types, topographic regions and rainfall thresholds. In conclusion, the 1881 PEF map can serve as a reliable reference for understanding the land cover/land-use patterns of nineteenth century Palestine.

Title: Is linguistic landscape necessary?
Abstract:
Linguistic landscape (LL) studies have primarily been undertaken by linguists not landscape scholars. By reviewing two works in LL, this review article questions several assumptions of LL and claims the field can be considered a logical extension of any holistic consideration of elements of analysis warranted to be carried out under the banner of traditional sociolinguistics. By questioning what the sub-field of LL offers studies of language in and of landscape, this polemic queries how landscape focused LL actually is and identifies how further LL studies may arise with a more directed landscape emphasis.

Title: New landscapes of conflict: land-use competition at the urban–rural fringe
Abstract:
Land-use conflict research generally focuses on conflicts where pre-existing opponents respond to the introduction of a new unwanted land-use. We select a 2008 land-use conflict to explore an understudied scenario: urban–rural fringe (URF) expansion can introduce new opposing stakeholders into areas with pre-existing unwanted land-uses. We use spatial analysis methods to measure the rate and direction of URF expansion in relation to a vacated cement facility that had been approved for revitalisation in 2008, motivating a land-use conflict between competing stakeholders. Findings indicate that the cement facility and surrounding land-uses had been continuously used for similar noxious activities since 1964, but URF expansion changed the area’s surrounding landscape from rural-majority to urban-majority prior to the 2008 land-use conflict. The association between URF expansion and space-related drivers of land-use conflict is a necessary consideration when studying increasingly urbanised landscapes.

Title: Using the past to indicate the possible presence of relics in the present-day landscape: the Western Front of the Great War in Belgium
Abstract:
The First World War (WWI) had a notable influence on the landscape at the former Western Front in Belgium. Research on a landscape scale is necessary to understand the destructive and constructive impact of the war and its consequences for the post-war landscape in a holistic manner. This paper focuses on the trajectory and impact analysis of three study areas with contrasting landscape types and aims to indicate possible preserved military relics today. Therefore, landscape changes are studied using historical aerial photographs (WWI and WWII) and contemporary orthophotos. A military landscape characterisation is made based on land use/land cover and linear structures that were mapped throughout time. Specific landscape trajectories could be designated as areas with a possible preservation of WWI heritage, with a related impact degree. The results are useful for sustainable heritage management and for further interdisciplinary research on WWI-heritage, by providing a broad knowledge of the area.

Title: The impact of environmental factors on benthos communities and freshwater gastropod diversity in urban sinkhole ponds in roadside and forest contexts
Abstract:
Sinkhole ponds originated as a result of human activity leading to ground subsidence and create important habitats for the diversity of benthos fauna in urban areas. The objectives of this study were to determine whether the context (roadside/forest) is important in relation to the composition and diversity of macroinvertebrates, and to evaluate the influence of environmental factors (e.g. water quality) on snail communities. The study showed that the context of ponds had an impact on the properties of the water. Ponds located along roads were characterised by higher conductivity and a higher concentration of calcium and phosphates. The fauna was composed of 47 taxa, including 26 taxa found in both pond contexts. The density of macroinvertebrates was higher in forest ponds. CCA analysis showed that conductivity and concentration of nitrates were most strongly associated with the distribution of gastropods. Alien snail species more often inhabited the roadside ponds.

Title: Multifunctional landscapes in a rural, developing country context: conflicts and synergies in Tshidzivhe, South Africa
Abstract:
Available examples of multifunctional landscapes are derived from developed countries, and do not typically shed light on the spatial clashes and synergies between traditional subsistence and commercially intensive production activities in developing countries. This paper explores the relationships between multiple land uses in a rural South African landscape, and in particular, the interactions between a community involved in subsistence agriculture and mixed livelihoods, and adjacent commercial forestry. Using both field and desktop methods, the paper aims to enhance understanding of landscape conflicts and synergies in this developing country context. The findings reveal a landscape polarised between highly productive monofunctional commercial forestry and tribal authority lands comprising a continuum of human settlement and indigenous vegetation. Conflicts and synergies centre around the natural resources required for these uses. Proposed policy solutions for landscape management include the need for better understanding of dual economy landscapes; maximising land use synergies; and providing direct community benefits and livelihood opportunities.

Title: A framework for governance of public green spaces in cities
Abstract:
Public authorities that seek to transfer the cost of managing green spaces to the private sector face apprehension about the extent of community input in managing of public green spaces in cities. In practice, the governance arrangements for managing public green spaces are neither a purely private or public sector responsibility. They are part of complex and contested governance schemas that involve multiple stakeholder groups with varying interests and responsibilities. This paper proposes a simple framework to support different modes of governance appropriate for the management of public green spaces in cities. The framework classifies stakeholders’ desires for engagement based on ecosystem service characteristics defined on a spectrum of excludability and rivalry. The framework is applied to case studies in Australia and Canada. Finally, we discuss the new insights for governance arrangements for public green space management in cities.

Title: Drivers of European landscape change: stakeholders’ perspectives through Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping
Abstract:
Understanding complex processes of landscape change is crucial to guide the development of future landscapes and land resources. Through Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping, we studied the processes of landscape change of six different environmental zones in Europe. Results show that landscapes are complex systems, with many interactions. Except for one, all regions show a strong decline in landscape quality. Dominant drivers are EU policy and the global economy, sometimes in conjunction with environmental drivers or the governance system. The process of change differs for all cases, through urbanisation or land abandonment in some cases, and agricultural intensification in others. The (un)intended effects of policies are difficult to predict. Although some EU Policies directly improve landscape quality, their indirect effects as well as other EU policies outweigh this positive influence and jointly result in a decrease of landscape quality. To counter these negative side effects, targeted landscape policies are urgently needed.

Title: How ordinary wildlife makes local green places special
Abstract:
Individuals can have meaningful experiences with iconic wildlife during holidays, but how important is experiencing ordinary wildlife near home? We investigated how wildlife shapes a bond with favourite local green places in the Netherlands. We conducted 13 walk-along interviews with participants of varying sociodemographics. Results show that experiences with ordinary wildlife can lead to three different types of place bonding. First, familiarity with ordinary wildlife can trigger (childhood) memories, leading to place identity and ‘the localised self’. Second, increasing knowledge about wildlife leads to intentional wildlife encounters, accompanied by feelings of accomplishment and ‘the internalised place’. Third, ordinary wildlife experiences provide feelings of ‘embeddedness in Panta Rhei’: they make individuals feel connected with the flows and cycles of nature and life. Thus, ordinary wildlife makes local green places special, as it facilitates connectedness with the world.

Title: Thinking of nature: associations with natural versus urban environments and their relation to preference
Abstract:
People generally prefer natural over urban environments, but little is known about what people think about when they see these environments. The aim of the present study was to investigate the associations with these scenes and their relation with preference. In a series of three studies 336 participants were asked to generate associations with photos. Study One manipulated naturalness of the environment as well as weather type. The data were analysed quantitatively by asking participants to rate the associations on valence, and qualitatively by a post hoc pile-sorting task on the associations. We found that associations with natural and sunny environments were more positive than those with urban and overcast environments. Natural scenes seem to elicit mainly positively valenced associations, whereas associations with urban environments were mixed. Content analyses confirmed these outcomes, indicating that how we experience an environment as well as its’ restorative potential are important for preference formation.

Title: Children’s perceptions of neighbourhood environments for walking and outdoor play
Abstract:
Through a questionnaire and Photo-Projective Methods (PPM), this study investigates how children perceive their neighbourhood environment for walking and outdoor play. It aims to understand what features children prefer when they walk and play in their neighbourhood. A total of 86 survey packages were mailed to households with children between 8 and 12 years old; 42 survey responses were returned for a 49% response rate. Descriptive statistics and content analysis were used to analyse the survey results. The findings of this study demonstrate natural landscape elements (such as tree groupings and streams), diverse social and play areas, and scenic streets are preferred by the children aged 8–12. The findings emphasise the importance of appropriate design and management of neighbourhood environmental features, and the value of safe street design for children’s walking and outdoor play.

Title: Pretest-posttest field studies on psychological restoration: a descriptive review and reflections for the future
Abstract:
Almost four decades ago, Attention Restoration Theory and Stress Recovery Theory postulated that nature could help people to recover from the attentional fatigue and the emotional negative outcomes coming from their daily performance. Since then, these theories have inspired a great amount of research. In this review, 19 restoration pretest-posttest field studies were selected. A systematic analysis of the papers was conducted using two rating tools to assess the quality of the studies and to detect their main strengths and weaknesses. The results allowed us to synthesise the results of this sample of studies, to reflect about the nature of the research conducted until today and to point to some issues and challenges that might be addressed in future studies.

Title: From green to grey: the dynamics of land use/land cover change in urban Ghana
Abstract:
This paper examines the struggle for existence of contrasting spaces within an urban milieu drawing on experiences from Ghana. By analysing remotely sensed images and review of relevant literature, the dynamics of change in the urban green–grey landscape were examined. While the grey (impermeable) space has increased from 23.3% to 77.6% between 1986 and 2016, green (permeable) space has declined from 76.7% to 24.4% within the same period. Rapidly growing and sprawling city, operating within a weak institutional framework, underlies the changes in land use/land cover in the Metropolis. This trend poses potential socio-environmental threat to the immediate city environment and even beyond. We recommend prioritising greening of the city by Kumasi Metropolitan Authority with the involvement and support of all stakeholders. This demands public education and effective functioning of institutions through adequate resourcing, collaboration and coordination within the broad framework of the new Land Use and Spatial Planning Act (Act 925).

Title: Green and ecological networks in Sheffield, UK
Abstract:
The notion of ecological and green networks is founded on the coherent and connected systems of green and open spaces in the landscape. However, these networks have generally been the outcome of a combination of opportunistic and deliberative planning decisions over time. This study analysed the existing green and ecological network approaches in the case of Sheffield, UK to identify the criteria for site selection and reveal similarities and differences in their aims, functions and spatial components. We used a mixed and exploratory research methodology, including policy document analysis, semi-structured interviews and digital map analyses. We found that despite the similarity of their overarching aims and expected functions, the existing networks are developed on the theoretical/ professional knowledge and nature conservation perspectives of different organisations. The spatial articulation of these networks is still somewhat based on a traditional way of conserving the existing and isolated natural/ semi-natural areas. The results are discussed with reference to need for new approaches to nature conservation and functional characteristics of landscapes.

Title: The beat of the mountain: a transdisciplinary rhythmanalysis of temporal landscapes
Abstract:
This article discusses how studying rhythms can help us better understand and manage spatiotemporal tensions in social-ecological landscapes, highlighting the potential of rhythmanalysis as a tool for crossing scientific and methodological borders. The empirical material is from a study of human and non-human users and uses of the highly valued Dovrefjell mountain area in Norway, with particular attention to the much-debated Snøheim Road. We take an in-depth view of three different, but interrelated, rhythms at Dovrefjell and discuss how intervening through rhythms can be a fruitful way to approach landscape management. By simultaneously ‘listening’ to different rhythms, this approach helps us to understand and reduce spatiotemporal tensions between social, cultural and ecological uses of a landscape.

Title: The governance of landscape management: new approaches to urban open space development
Abstract:
The concept and practice of urban open space (UOS) management is becoming increasingly influenced by varying governance arrangements for participatory co-development. These varying arrangements generate multifaceted approaches to UOS management as well as to landscape architecture more broadly. Governance and management constitute two central themes within UOS development, but their combination has so far been little addressed, despite its potential in addressing different desired values and processes. This paper uses a secondary case study approach to highlight and analyse this combination in different contexts and discusses conceptual use and knowledge gaps within landscape architecture, critically rethinking current process logics, reflecting on new tendencies for co- and self-management and discussing consequences for theory and practice. The conceptual understanding of governance approaches in UOS management presented may be useful for sustainable long-term development of UOS.

Title: The use of landscape value assessment in spatial planning and sustainable land management — a review
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to formulate a conceptual framework for integrating landscape value assessment with planning. Concepts of landscape value, methodological approaches and their possible use for spatial planning are discussed by critically reviewing interdisciplinary literature on the subject. The author analyses 47 papers presenting landscape value assessments. The reviewed research was undertaken in 24 countries in the years 1986–2016. Research papers are analysed in terms of a number of values, calculation methods and use of expert opinion/public participation or combined as well as theoretical frameworks. Methods of enhancing spatial planning and sustainable land management by means of landscape evaluation based on natural, cultural and aesthetic values are critically reviewed as well. Finally, a conceptual framework, that highlights the approach to planning based on landscape value assessment is presented. The framework forms the basis for further interdisciplinary research.

Title: Influence of Terminalia arjuna on the riparian landscapes of the River Cauvery of South India
Abstract:
Mature and large isolated trees act as keystone structures in various ecosystems by supporting the populations of dependent organisms. Terminalia arjuna is one such species that is dominant in the riparian landscapes along the River Cauvery in Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary. We tested the hypothesis that T. arjuna influences plant community composition in riparian landscapes and supports a distinct local riparian community. We showed plant species richness, diversity, similarity in community composition, and soil quality varied between riparian landscapes under canopy of T. arjuna and areas devoid of T. arjuna. Higher species richness, diversity, dominance, and evenness were noted in areas under canopy of T. arjuna. The non-metric multi-dimensional scaling ordination space analysis identifies the native riparian species assemblages in areas under canopy of T. arjuna with improved soil nutrient conditions. Overall, the study concludes T. arjuna has potential positive effects on riparian landscapes by showing the remarkable differences in biological diversity and it can be considered as keystone species in riparian ecosystems of South India.

Title: The representation of time: addressing a theoretical flaw in landscape architecture
Abstract:
This paper explores the representation of time within landscape architecture. While change is an everyday part of landscape, the lack of a theoretical framework or accepted best practice for the representation of time arguably affects landscape architecture’s position in today’s society, where flexibility and dynamics are key. The representation of time was explored in a ‘design experiment’ with landscape architecture students using the case of Højstrup Parken. Rather than producing one optimum proposal, the experiment revealed different ways of integrating time into traditional drawing types, while new drawing types allowed other sophisticated representations. Some are of relevance for competition entries, others for technical drawings or management prescriptions, and others for user involvement. We conclude that the introduction of temporal representations in addition to spatial representations in the taxonomical system for representation could enrich understanding of the landscape, assessment of existing landscape designs, and the creation of new designs.

Title: From metropolitan rivers to civic corridors: assessing the evolution of the suburban landscape
Abstract:
The sustainability of metropolitan regions is closely related to the transformation of rivers into civic and ecological corridors. While river rehabilitation in the inner city has been widely reported, ongoing river rehabilitation processes in non-central city parts remain under-researched. We analysed the socio-spatial evolution of a 10-km suburban stretch of a river in the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona by means of a review of planning regulations and municipal newsletters. We observed that, in the course of over 40 years, a system of public open spaces and facilities was incrementally created on the riverbanks, in keeping with a progressive reinforcement of the everyday relationship between local communities and the river. Today, a common political determination on the river’s future, in conjunction with enhanced citizen activism, is paving the way for comprehensive, participatory river management.

Title: Traditional vs naturalised design: a comparison of affordances and physical activity in two preschool playscapes
Abstract:
This study employed a range of observation methods engaging with the concept of affordances to create a qualitative snapshot of children’s movement behaviour in two playscapes. Comparison of children’s movement behaviour in the playscapes generated the research question of whether a highly naturalised playscape provides more varied opportunities for physical activity than traditionally designed playscapes with standard equipment. Based on observations of children’s activity in the playscapes there appeared to be differences in manipulative activity in the naturalised space. Further analysis using behaviour mapping indicated the naturalised space may offer potentially varied opportunities for developing children’s sense of balance and increasing physical activity. Children made wider use of the naturalised space and resources, whereas activity in the traditional space was more likely confined to standard areas and equipment. The findings suggest naturalised design potentially provides equivalent or more varied opportunities for pre-schooler physical activity than traditional designs and standardised equipment.

Title: Historical perspectives on green structure development: the examples of Stockholm, Sweden and Xi’an, China
Abstract:
Green structure has undergone many changes during the process of urban development. This paper compares Stockholm, Sweden, and Xi’an, China, in order to illustrate these changes over time and how they reflect the deeper human–nature relationship. This type of analysis can uncover the cultural identity of different cities and clarify urban forms that are common to other geographical locations. We found well-preserved green structure of different periods in the two cities, indicating similar structural development traditions but using different components. Analysis and comparison of three stages of formation revealed that conflicts between the built environment and green structure are an illustration of human–nature interactions, which change with cultural and societal changes in different areas. We argue that rethinking green structure and invoking deep respect for nature is a starting point for resolving such conflicts and the wider environmental crisis.

Title: Taking Turns: Landscape and Environmental History at the Crossroads
Abstract: Dealing with the relationship between humankind and the more or less ‘natural’ environment, landscape and environmental history have interests and objects of study in common. This paper explores the similarities and differences of the two fields and the current challenges and opportunities they face. It suggests that the two fields have much to offer each other—especially when dealing with the ‘urban realm’—without running the risk of losing their individual identities. It argues that the reasons for the lack of contact between the fields have been the small size, relative obscurity and ‘youth’ of landscape history on the one hand and the declensionist and broad narratives in environmental history on the other hand. Distrust of the declensionist viewpoint and of the effects that the environmental movement had on landscape and garden design might have led landscape historians in the past to distance themselves from environmental history altogether.

Title: : Using Workforce Characteristics to Understand the Cultural Landscape of New Orleans
Abstract: Most assume New Orleans is defined by the tourist industry's French Creole cultural icons, but underneath this veneer, the city's landscape history is far more complex. Using research methodologies of cultural geographers, this paper looks at seemingly unremarkable information about eighteenth- and nineteenth-century life in order to gain a better understanding of the evolution of this city's cultural landscape. Investigating immigrant and local garden workers reveals strata about the community's landscape heritage heretofore ignored: French settlers encountered an unfamiliar landscape but envisioned ornate gardens; Native Americans, Germans and Africans provided horticultural expertise the French lacked; Irish immigrants built urban infrastructure; Italians supplied fruits and vegetables, and Germans provided horticultural expertise through commercial nurseries. Horticultural commerce provided vehicles through which local residents participated in cross-cultural associations, thereby creating distinctive landscapes. Beneath today's tourist-oriented icons are remnants of these engagements; examining them gives a more nuanced understanding of this city's landscape.

Title: Cultivating, Designing, and Teaching: Jewish Women in Modern Viennese Garden Architecture
Abstract: Most of the very few women working in garden architecture in Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s came from liberal bourgeois Jewish families. Yella Hertzka founded the first advanced horticultural school for women within the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in 1913. About 10 years later, Grete Salzer, a graduate from Hertzka's school, and Dr Paula Fürth, a plant physiologist, established their own businesses in the same Viennese upper-class district as Yella Hertzka, each consisting of a perennial nursery, a garden architecture studio and a horticultural school. Hanny Strauß ran a nursery in her radically modern house, designed by Josef Frank in 1914, and Helene Wolf, another graduate from Hertzka's school, operated a nursery and a garden architecture practice near Vienna. All four garden architects created modern gardens in and around Vienna and cooperated with designers and architects from the Austrian Werkbund. Their violent expulsion in 1938–39 left a significant gap in Austrian garden architecture in the early twentieth century.

Title: Writing with the Jardins des Floralies in Montreal: Towards an Expanded Garden History
Abstract: This paper, based on a larger research project, explores the possibility that gardens and other designed landscapes can be considered historically active. Inspired in part by the gardens of Gilles Clément and Louis Le Roy, I argue that natural processes of growth and change play an important role in the kinds of historical change we might read in gardens. The apprehension of these processes together with the traces of human intervention that attempt to direct or respond to them provide access to a history of relations between human and non-human forces particularly relevant to a landscape history animated by broader environmental concerns. Focusing on a site within the Jardins des Floralies, in Montreal, I combine textual analyses, field experiences, and a creative writing process in order to attend to the agency of gardens in historical processes.

Title: Public Housing Landscapes in France, 1945–1975
Abstract: The following is an in-progress analysis of landscapes designed for shared residential projects created during a period of unprecedented housing construction in post-war France (1945–1975). The three cases studies presented—La Butte Rouge, La Maurelette and Les Chatillons—are part of a larger examination of more than 200 projects realised during this time. Our methods have included cartographic and textual analyses, on-site verifications, and archival studies. While France is known for its great Baroque landscapes and the work of its contemporary landscape designers, these projects, pivotal in the creation of the profession, represent a little-known stratum within landscape research. Sharing this work with professionals and scholars is timely because these projects have been slated for renovation. To date such renovations have ignored their landscape architecture. By revealing the landscape designs of these projects, and how they were formational in the careers of significant French designers, it is hoped that a more nuanced revitalisation will be considered.

Title: Controversies around energy landscapes in third modernity
Abstract:
Transitions towards renewable energy sources are changing landscapes in many respects and causing controversies over legitimate landscape governance. The paper investigates these trends by examining the production of energy landscapes as multifaceted processes of ‘cosmopolitics’, which inevitably generate landscape controversies. It sketches such co-constructive processes under various governance constellations. In case studies from Bavaria (Germany), the controversies could be traced back to conflicting patterns of justification beyond industrial certainties of ‘first modernity’. These controversies cannot be fully understood if we see them as conflicts about siting decisions; instead, we need in-depth inquiry into socio-eco-technical co-constructions and ways of reshaping them. The paper looks at whether such controversies can be considered as typical elements of reflexive governance in ‘second modernity’, or whether they point to a post-political production of energy landscapes on the way towards ‘third modernity’, a governance constellation in which ecological and democratic claims are merely simulated.

Title: Conflicts and negotiation processes in the course of power grid extension in Germany
Abstract:
The political decision to decommission all German nuclear power plants by 2022 has brought significant changes in the areas of energy supply and transmission. The development of renewable energies has become the centrepiece of political activity, and the reorganisation and extension of the existing power grid is widely considered a necessary consequence. However, this logic is not espoused by all. Some reject the need for grid extension altogether; others criticise the construction of overhead power lines and favour buried cabling. The issue has sparked massive citizens’ protests in which specific arguments recur with regularity, notably ‘disfigurement of the landscape’, ‘destruction of nature’ and—in Bavaria—‘loss of home environment’. The article examines the central lines of argumentation used both in favour of and against grid extension from a discourse theory perspective, with a focus on ‘landscape’ and ‘home’. This entails a social-constructivist understanding of landscape.

Title: Understanding ‘landscape governance’: the case of wind energy landscapes in Germany
Abstract:
Although the term ‘landscape governance’ has been attracting increased attention in literature, its use until now has been rather heterogeneous. In order to conceptually systematise various notions of landscape governance, the paper applies the Triple G model developed in the context of forest governance. We demonstrate that three distinct concepts of governance, namely government, governance in the narrow sense and governmentality provide the observer with a range of genuine lenses for analysing space, scale, actors, institutions and political decision-making processes as well as the relations between them and how they are mutually constitutive of one another. The three perspectives are discussed with an eye to overlaps and differences, the constitution of landscapes, the respective take on power and the potential interfaces between science and policy. For illustration, the paper draws on empirical evidence of German wind energy landscapes.

Title: Justice, development and the land: the social context of Scotland’s energy transition
Abstract:
Scotland, like many other countries, is undergoing a transition to renewable energy. This paper discusses the social context within which this transition is taking place and which is conditioning the possibilities for energy development and its effects on people. In particular, the paper explores historically-rooted conflicts relating to land rights and wild land protection, considering these issues and their relationship to energy development in terms of landscape justice (i.e. the principle of fairness in the ways people relate to the landscape and to each other through the landscape). Pursuing a more just settlement between people and landscape is often a matter of understanding problematic pasts and working to overcome their harmful legacies. It is argued that there is an important role for heritage practice in helping to deliver energy development which takes the historical, social and cultural context more fully into account and thereby helps to bring about a more just settlement between people and the landscape.

Title: Energy landscape as a polity. Wind power practices in Northern Friesland (Germany)
Abstract:
The success of wind power development in Northern Friesland (Germany) is mainly due to its ‘citizen wind parks’. However, their historical emergence, as well as their astonishing scale-up from small to large wind farms, is little understood from the inside. Following the critical approach of assemblage thinking, this paper’s proposal is to revise the notion of ‘assembly’ to investigate collective processes of ‘attunement’. The paper stresses the practical work of valuating ‘things’ and making them commensurable in the light of the relations (inherited practices, place attachments, project perspectives) grounded in a place. This approach makes it possible to identify the ways in which assemblies from Northern Friesland have negotiated and transformed an inherited landscape into a shared wind power landscape. We call this activity in which local assemblies engage ‘a polity’. Finally, we illustrate the term’s conceptual potential by discussing its scope and links to techniques of power that follow from environmental ‘governmentality’.

Title: Co-production in distributed generation: renewable energy and creating space for fitting infrastructure within landscapes
Abstract:
This review describes the infrastructural elements of the socio-technical system of power supply based on renewables and the role of landscape concerns in decision-making about emerging ‘intelligent grids’. The considerable land areas required for energy infrastructure call for sizable ‘distributed generation’ close to energy consumption. Securing community acceptance of renewables’ infrastructure, perceived impacts on the community, and ‘landscape justice’ requires two types of co-production: in power supply and in making space available. With co-production, landscape issues are prominent, for some options dominant. However, ‘objectification’ of landscape, such as the use of ‘visibility’ as proxy for ‘visual impact’, is part of lingering centralised and hierarchical approaches to the deployment of renewables. Institutional tendencies of centralisation and hierarchy, in power supply management as well as in siting, should be replaced by co-production, as follows from common pool resources theory. Co-production is the key to respecting landscape values, furthering justice, and achieving community acceptance.

Title: New interaction paths in the energy landscape: the role of local energy initiatives
Abstract:
Energy transition is an encompassing process which not only involves the energy system but also the landscape in which the energy system is embedded. Renewable energy is triggering new interactions with local landscapes in physical, socio-economic and institutional senses. We capture these interactions using the energy landscape concept, which expresses the interdependence of the energy system with the landscape. We aim to understand whether and how local energy initiatives facilitate this interdependency so as to see if local energy initiatives can be considered focal points in energy transition. We analyse how emerging local energy initiatives link different interests, land uses and activities within their energy practices and show how these facilitate interactions between various physical and social systems across multiple spatial scales. The paper concludes with several suggestions on how spatial planners and policy-makers can use the insights from the findings to support energy transition.

Title: Shrinking cities: rethinking landscape in depopulating urban contexts
Abstract:
This paper presents a general introduction to the role that landscape as a concept, and landscape architecture as a discipline, can have in the academic discussion on Shrinking Cities. This editorial explores and presents a general overview of the causes and impacts of urban depopulation in different world contexts, presenting a brief literature review on this topic. Moreover, it also explores recent population trends around the world and their expected evolution in the next decades, confirming that urban depopulation is worth exploring, especially in certain macro regions such as Europe, North America, and Japan. The paper concludes by focusing on the multiple roles that landscape can have under such pressured urban conditions. The collection of research papers presented in this special issue are the result of a conference that took place at the University of Edinburgh in November 2013, co-chaired by the guest-editors of this special issue.

Title: Urban shrapnel: spatial distribution of non-productive space
Abstract:
Urbanisation is characterised by cycles of activation and obsolescence leaving in their wake an abundance of non-productive space (NPS). Expanding cities report more vacant land than do fixed cities, which report higher structural abandonment. If left untreated, existing NPS can spread to surrounding properties. Using Fort Worth, TX, USA as a case site, this research explores the spatial distribution of NPS using Geographical Information Systems spatial analyses. Directional distributions, time series analyses, spatial assessments using 5-mile buffer increments and weighted suitability models were combined to determine if urban core fragmentation is occurring, despite population and economic growth. Findings indicate that peripheral NPS area decreased but these spaces were redistributed into the urban core. Parcel size and regeneration potential in the city centre also decreased. This has resulted in a fragmented urban core characterised by disconnected and small/irregularly shaped parcels of NPS which are difficult to regenerate—an urban shrapnel.

Title: Greening the shrinking city—policies and planning approaches in the USA with the example of Flint, Michigan
Abstract:
For many years, shrinking cities in the USA used to be a taboo, not fitting in the pattern of growth and progress anticipated by community leaders. Nevertheless, shrinking in terms of economic decline and population loss is an enduring phenomenon for many post-industrial US cities. One negative effect of shrinkage is extended portions of vacant land with blighted and deteriorating buildings. Some US shrinking cities recently started actively dealing with vacated portions of land, seeing these areas as new assets on the way to more sustainable and livable cities. The paper will present greening or green infrastructure development from the point of view of the US planning debate, focusing on two forms of greening: rightsizing and urban agriculture. Moreover, recent greening efforts will be highlighted with the example Flint, Michigan, anchored in a debate of paradigmatic shifts and sustainable development.

Title: Vacancy as a laboratory: design criteria for reimagining social-ecological systems on vacant urban lands
Abstract:
The complex socio-economic conditions underlying (temporary) vacant urban landscapes have produced a wide range of spatial outcomes. Solutions to address these diverse spatio-temporal conditions inherently call for a range of design approaches. This paper, through literature and project review, introduces a conceptual design framework consisting of four criteria integral for developing sustainable solutions for repurposing vacant urban lands: (1) environmental justice and ecological democracy; (2) ecosystem services and urban biodiversity; (3) aesthetic experiences, and; (4) programming. By examining five case studies, I reveal a number of different and innovative ways in which these criteria can be integrated and deployed to transform urban vacant lands. Here, vacancy becomes a laboratory for testing and implementing new social-ecological systems across a range of spatial and temporal scales. This requires experimentation in the development of alternative planning and design strategies, including new public participation models, policy frameworks and funding mechanisms.

Title: Mind the gap: tools for a parcel-based storm water management approach
Abstract:
In the Great Lakes Basin, a legacy of industrial use and localised depopulation has created a unique set of needs around storm water management and neighbourhood stabilisation. Vast quantities of vacant land present an opportunity for projects that can address either or both problems. Urban vacant land has its challenges: decision-making related to selecting project sites is complicated, and the structure and distribution of vacant land favour small projects that can work in aggregate. Here, we describe decision-making for two storm water management projects that utilise small, distributed vacant parcels in Great Lakes cities. The first showcases the collection of novel data that were standardised among sites and users. The second utilises a hierarchical approach to data analysis that exploits available data-sets and could be applied at increasingly finer spatial scales. Both projects prioritise components of site selection processes that could have broader applicability basin-wide.

Title: Sand, silt, salt, water: entropy as a lens for design in post-industrial landscapes
Abstract:
Entropy is a contemporary buzzword in landscape architecture used to describe a vast range of material, environmental and social processes. Most uses of the word are loose appropriations of a very specific thermodynamic principle. This paper first explores some of the more common applications of entropy to describe post-industrial case study projects explored by Robert Smithson, Matthew Gandy, Gilles Clément and John Beardsley. It then suggests that entropy is a lens for understanding particular challenges associated with designing in landscapes that bear the traces of past industrial occupation. It concludes by offering a design technique using physical models of salt crystallisation, sand dispersal, sedimentation and water flow, for engaging with these themes as part of the design process. The paper suggests that viewing post-industrial sites through the lens of entropy raises productive design questions and that the indeterminacies of entropic processes are analogous to productive indeterminacies in the design process.

Title: The hybrid landscape of public space in Thessaloniki in the context of crisis
Abstract:
The article focuses on trends that redefine the public nature of public spaces in Thessaloniki by departing from publicly owned and managed spaces and introducing new agents to their management. The first trend is characterised by official urban policies that introduce the private and voluntary sector into the management and maintenance of public space. While forming part of the dominant neoliberal paradigm, privatisation processes materialise through a local mix of mechanisms in crisis-stricken Thessaloniki. The second trend originates from citizen-led initiatives and seeks to reassert ‘publicness’, foregrounding collective activity and participation. A case of urban farming of an abandoned military camp is reviewed as an example of this trend. The article argues that the two trends contribute to the creation of a hybrid landscape of public space in which the commonly perceived binary of private and public is redefined towards two divergent directions, representing different imaginaries of ‘publicness’.

Title: Ephemeral landscape and urban shrinkage
Abstract:
The paper investigates the phenomenon of short-lived landscapes in European cities, analysing the causes and contexts of their emergence, exploring their links with urban shrinkage, and examining their roles in urban transformation. Five cases from Liverpool, Glasgow, London, Paris, and Brussels are studied in two groups of garden festivals and temporary parks, covering a range of scales, periods, locations, and agents of development. Economic, political, and cultural changes have created the conditions of urban shrinkage and temporary interventions, whereby landscape is treated as a flexible means to an end, a short-lived event that reflects, and paves the way for, structural change. As the cases demonstrate, however, the instrumental use of landscape for economic purposes is not the only way forward.

Title: Introduction to a special issue: the future of landscape characterisation, and the future character of landscape – between space, time, history, place and nature
Abstract:
In any discussion of landscape characterisation the elephant in the room is the question of just what is landscape? Another way of putting this question is to simply ask: ‘How would you characterise landscape?’ What this implies is that there is a certain circularity in landscape characterisation because, through the very act of characterising landscape, one is also defining what one means by landscape. The European Landscape Convention’s definition of landscape as ‘an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors’ suggests a similar circularity because the character of an area, as it results from the action of natural and/or human factors, is dependent upon human perception, which is presumably also, in addition, one of the human factors acting upon the landscape. This circularity, or ‘circulating reference’, to use Bruno Latour’s term, is fundamental to Denis Cosgrove’s analysis of the origin of the modern concept of landscape as scenic space, and his analysis, we would suggest, helps explain some of the questions raised in this special issue concerning landscape characterisation and the future character of landscape .

Title: Exploring the national contexts and cultural ideas that preceded the Landscape Character Assessment method in England
Abstract:
Countries ratifying the European Landscape Convention (ELC) agree to identify their landscapes, analyse their characteristics and assess the landscapes taking into account the values afforded them by the population. Some UK countries, such as England, are regarded as pioneers of these ideas and implementation of ELC principles even before it was drafted. Since the early 1990s, England (and Scotland) has been ahead of many countries in the development of methods for characterisation and identification of landscapes. However, such landscape assessment methods have been developed within a specific and distinctive historical context. This paper attempts to define the subtext of English landscape identity that may be ‘lost in translation’ or ignored when these methods are exported to other countries. The paper first outlines three major, interlinked aspects of ideas and societal development that have specifically affected development of landscape conservation and planning and landscape assessment methods in England, namely: (i) ideas from landscape conservation; (ii) countryside protection and planning in the early twentieth century; and (iii) institutionalisation and development of post-war planning and conservation practices. The paper also examines Landscape Character Assessment and discusses ways in which the national context may need to be considered when using this method.

Title: Lens, mirror, window: interactions between Historic Landscape Characterisation and Landscape Character Assessment
Abstract:
Contemporary wisdom holds that landscape research requires cross-disciplinary collaborations, and consideration of character has been seen as one way to achieve this, yet character-based methods of landscape assessment incline towards unidisciplinarity. This is the case in the UK, with two parallel methods in use since the early 1990s. Both have become influential across Europe in the drafting and implementation of the European Landscape Convention. This paper, a contribution to a special issue of Landscape Research, focuses on one of the methods, Historic Landscape Characterisation (carried out mainly by archaeologists and heritage managers), and compares it with Landscape Character Assessment (used by the landscape architects and geographers) to examine the concepts of both landscape character and interdisciplinarity. It concludes that although a single integrated method for landscape assessment could be desirable, there remain benefits in having separate methods, and the process of combining parallel landscape assessments can bring research benefits.

Title: Integrated landscape management and the complicating issue of temporality
Abstract:
Landscape has become widely accepted as a concept for embracing the natural sphere as well as human society. There are, however, challenges in implementing the somewhat overarching rhetoric. This article takes a conceptual and deconstructive approach and elucidates complications in integrated landscape management, with a certain focus on landscape and time. Cases from some European areas, where integrative planning instruments are applied, serve as examples. The drawing of borders and the categorisation of areas are central aspects in understanding what constitutes integration, implying that negotiations and the weighing of different values are vital elements in integrated landscape management. Landscape management is inevitably an activity in the present, which is why landscape management needs to be based on good knowledge about the present conditions. In order to retain landscape qualities it is necessary to continuously reveal contemporary processes and reconsider and elaborate on functions and contexts that connect humans and their physical environment.

Title: A question of what matters: landscape characterisation as a process of situated, problem-orientated public discourse
Abstract:
Sustainable development is a principle with the potential to inspire and guide action, but it is also a nebulous idea which is hard to operationalise. The concept of landscape character helps to turn this principle into practical action. Landscape character can be defined as ‘the things that matter’ about a landscape. Landscape characterisation is the process of determining what matters by identifying and assessing the complex interactions and relationships between people and their environment. The central argument of this paper is that existing approaches to characterisation are failing to realise the full potential of the process for the pursuit of more just and sustainable landscapes. A transformed process of characterisation is needed: one which is situated, problem-orientated and rooted in public discourse. This approach is outlined in theoretical terms and its fuller potential is signposted through the particular example of Govan, an urban landscape in Scotland.

Title: Landscape strategy making and landscape characterisation—experiences from Danish experimental planning processes
Abstract:
Landscape strategy making including landscape characterisation is the subject of this article. Traditional approaches to landscape planning is briefly and critically discussed and a more place based and strategic approach to rural landscape planning is argued for. Landscape characterisation and community involvement is discussed in relation to three dimensions: the landscape as a common good; landscape rights; and the landscape as a development factor. A landscape strategy making approach based partly on Patsy Healy’s work on collaborative planning and spatial strategy making is outlined, and experiences from two Danish case studies are presented. It is concluded that the landscape strategy making approach including highly specific landscape characterisations works and represents a promising way forward for more integrative and participatory approaches to landscape planning and policy, although more work on assessing the landscape condition is needed.

Title: Dynamics of integrating landscape values in landscape character assessment: the hidden dominance of the objective outsider
Abstract:
While there has been extensive research undertaken on the values which insiders attribute to landscape there is a lack of literature which looks at how planning professionals handle landscape values. In this article, I develop a framework for questioning how landscape values are taken up in landscape planning, with the aim of conceptualising what landscape values mean in practice. This is undertaken through addressing landscape assessment, more specifically analysing how landscape character assessment (LCA) represents a critical point in the framing of landscape values. Through a synthesis of research on landscape values I examine the underlying logic of the LCA documents. I conclude that the values communicated in these assessments tend to be those of ‘objective’ outside experts, predominantly based on aesthetics and focusing on the physicality of landscape. This I argue leads to a questioning the legitimacy of the LCA approach.

Title: Virtual enclosure, ecosystem services, landscape’s character and the ‘rewilding’ of the commons: the ‘Lake District’ case
Abstract:
It is paradoxical that, while there is a generally increasing recognition of the scientific and cultural importance of conserving ‘semi-natural’ pastoral environments, and the negative effects of their widespread abandonment and overgrowth, British ‘rewilding’ activists and environmental managers are effectively advocating policies that will have a similar negative effect on the character of the semi-natural pastoral commons of places like England’s iconic Lake District. This situation, it will be argued, owes to the mindset of ‘virtual enclosure’ whereby the character of landscape is pre-defined by an assumed, behind-the-scenes, Euclidean/Ptolemaic spatial logic that leads to the comprehension of nature as a bounded scenic property; an (e)state of nature with its own economic system and services. This mindset is antithetical to both the practice of pastoral commoning and much contemporary natural science and conservation policy. It fits well, however, with older teleological ideas of nature, as well as modern ideas of privatisation, private property and management control.

Title: Assessing landscape composition using visual assessment: accuracy of rapid description compared to digital mapping
Abstract:
We compared the accuracy of visual assessment of landscape composition to that of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) mapping in (agro)ecology studies that focus on processes in which landscape factors are assumed to be insignificant and are often ignored. Seven land-use types were visually estimated from aerial photographs of contrasting rural landscapes in France. Visual assessment showed good agreement with results of GIS mapping for all land-use types, regardless of the observer. Estimates were accurate for forests and water areas, which are more visible than other land-use types. In contrast, observers often failed to distinguish crops from grassland, which decreased agreement for these land-use types; however, the estimate became fairly accurate when these land-use types were combined. Overall, this study confirms the relevance of using visual assessment to obtain simple landscape indices to improve studies that might otherwise ignore the landscape, provided that the loss of precision is compatible with the purpose of the study.

Title: Understanding landscape change in a former brownfield site
Abstract:
The term palimpsest is sometimes used as a way of conceptualising historic cultural landscapes that have been subject to changes. This paper uses an expanded version of the palimpsest concept (a temporal collage intermingling memories with tangible and intangible elements from different time periods across a range of scales) to focus on a former military site on the Thames Estuary, which, after a period of dereliction, has been developed as a bird reserve. It examines different user interpretations of the present-day landscape in the light of its recent history and demonstrates how the physical traces and artefacts, the topography, memories and the relationship with the surrounding area all play a part in these interpretations. This landscape subverts a chronological reading and extends beyond the physical and temporal boundaries of the site enabling both the expert and non-expert to tell multiple and diverse stories with implications for landscape planning and design.

Title: Lake extent changes in Basotu, Tanzania: a mixed-methods approach to understanding the impacts of anthropogenic influence and climate variability
Abstract:
Incompatible land use is a major contributor to ecosystem degradation, and is often exacerbated by climate change impacts. We investigate Lake Basotu, Tanzania as a case study where natural lake variability has been affected by agricultural land use. Comparisons between a satellite-derived history of lake surface area, local precipitation records, and corresponding anthropogenic activity show the impacts of agricultural and historical practices. We argue that insufficient consideration to the wider ecological impacts of large agricultural projects has lasting implications. This is particularly true in semi-arid environments where food production demands need to be continuously met. In the future, major conservation strategies should be investigated to maintain the environmental integrity and sustainability of freshwater resources.

Title: A renewed approach to conservation policy of historical gardens in Iran
Abstract:
In Iran, due to political and economic challenges, historical gardens are not celebrated as an important part of the country’s heritage. The issue of garden conservation is widely neglected, and up to now, there has been no record of its own history. This paper retrospectively re-examines the changes in the perception of cultural heritage through the lens of historical gardens in twentieth-century Iran. The data have been collected from unexamined and much-overlooked primary resources such as memos and letters that are rarely interpreted in the context of garden history. Through a critical review of the stories of the historical gardens in each political era in chronological order, this paper offers new insights and understandings of garden treatment in Iran, to better inform policy-makers regarding their conservation in contemporary times.

Title: The phenomenon of walking: diverse and dynamic
Abstract:
Everyday walking is a far-reaching activity with the potential to increase health and well-being in the general public. From a phenomenological perspective, walking can be seen as a function of being-in-the-world, where the landscape, a sense of place, and the moment are closely entwined with the walker’s own lived experiences. Using interviews with 73 walkers in a medium-sized town in Norway, this article explores the phenomenon of everyday walking. The data illustrate the multiple ways in which people emphasise well-being and ascribe meaning to their walking experiences, and how these ways may vary significantly during a life course, from day to day, and even within a single walk. Insights from this study may prove useful to policy-makers and administrative bodies in acknowledging people’s various needs and gains related to everyday walking, and hence for promoting a diversified management of walking within the field of health policy, as well as in urban planning for walkable cities.

Title: Human impact on the abundance of useful species in a protected area of the Brazilian Cerrado by people perception and biological data
Abstract:
Studies about relationships between people and landscapes have shown that local communities can affect the abundance of plant species useful to humans, which raises the question of how landscape management processes might modify the abundance of useful plant species in a forested area. We addressed this issue based on people perception and biological evidence. This study was undertaken in the Araripe National Forest, a protected area of sustainable use of natural resources in Brazil. Our results showed that the studied landscape experienced modifications in abundance of species caused by management processes. For instance, phytosociological data for the managed areas showed a greater abundance of the more salient useful species compared with useful species that have lower local importance. The comparison of historical and current aerial images of the landscape indicated that plant density had increased in forested managed areas where agricultural practices were stopped. Despite this, local perceptions indicated that the abundance of most of the useful plant species in the managed areas had decreased over time.

Title: The impact of the primary colours yellow, red and, blue on the perception of greenery
Abstract:
Colourful flowers and artefacts are frequently used in modern landscape architecture and in site-specific artwork. Despite this, there is limited empirically substantiated understanding of the impact of colour on perceptions of the soft, changing green colour palette of surrounding vegetation, and thus the overall colour perception of green spaces. Applying the CIE 1976 (L*a*b*) colour space, this study showed that the presence of artefacts with different primary colours, shape, size and position significantly changed perceptions of the lightness (L* spectrum) and blue-yellow spectrum (b*) of surrounding green vegetation, while perception of its green-magenta spectrum (a*) remained more or less unchanged. It also showed that colourful artefacts had different effects on different perennials. Overall, the results demonstrate that professionals should pay equal attention to the green hue of surrounding vegetation as to the colour of artefacts or flowers when researching or practising design.

Title: Landscape biographies of commemoration
Abstract:
All social structures, ranging from world-wide cultural communities to local networks of individuals, develop more or less specific memory cultures to connect places, buildings and land to memories and notions of ancestry and origin. One can focus on several histories in the landscape or bring one moment in time to the exclusive attention. This paper will discuss two examples of landscapes of commemoration using a landscape-biographical approach. This approach is used to demonstrate a multi-vocal past with its complex overlapping layers of social, economic and political history. Wars are etched on the memories of nations, communities and individuals. What people remember, and how, changes with time, especially now that historic events are disappearing in living memory. This paper analyses how nations, local communities and individuals reshaped their violent past through time.

Title: ‘My wood isn’t one of those dark and scary ones’: children’s experience and knowledge of woodland in the English rural landscape
Abstract:
Recent studies of children have argued that children are suffering from a deficiency in nature experience. Some argue that a lack of experience leads to poor affective relations which for wooded environments may be manifested as fear. This study investigates a geographical knowledge gap in understanding children’s relationships with woodland. This interactive qualitative study included 21 junior age children living in a rural setting in Derbyshire, England, UK. Most were found to visit local woodlands regularly, though unsupervised visits were usually limited to woods adjacent to housing. The children demonstrated good levels of practical knowledge though explicit knowledge, such as tree names, was generally poor. The majority of children had positive attitudes towards woodland, especially those with the greatest experience. Adventure, calm and freedom were identified as major themes. Fear was widespread but rarely dominated and was often associated with exhilaration linked to cultural imaginaries such as computer games and films.

Title: The self-narrated walk. A user-led method to research people’s experiences in urban landscapes
Abstract:
Walking interviews and mobile ways of engaging participants in research have recently begun to emerge as methods to collect data that tries to understand people’s relationships with places. This work explores the self-narrated walk as a method to research people’s encounters and interactions with the landscape and their associated meanings and values. We address the method by explaining and examining how it has been designed, implemented and experienced by participants who engaged in a set of environmental immersive encounters in urban green landscapes. The findings show that this approach offers the user perspective, and facilitates in situ, mobile and in-the-moment, detailed, complex personal descriptions, and meanings into the mechanisms behind physical and emotional person–place interactions. Additionally, they suggest that the method is excellent to empower participants, to stimulate engagement with places and to capture simultaneously different data-sets. Finally, we discuss potential implications for landscape research and for the design process.

Title: Landscape change in Ramallah—Palestine (1994–2014)
Abstract:
The Palestinian landscape has always been subjected to dynamic processes of change. This article examines the landscape change in Ramallah city during the last 20 years by analysing two aerial photographs from two periods—1994 and 2014—to create land cover maps which illustrate the change in different landscape classes in the city. The article aims to quantify the landscape change in the specified periods using GIS and FRAGSTATS analysis, and to identify and explain spatial patterns of the landscape, taking into consideration the political, social, and economic circumstances. The results reveal a considerable change and fragmentation. The main change is an increase in the built-up area at the expense of a decrease in the permanent trees and scrub areas. This change, due to the occupation policies, is a reflection of many indicators, including population growth, migration, and an economic boom in the construction sector.

Title: Proposing an agricultural belt to protect a city’s semi-rural characteristics: The example of Bartın, Turkey
Abstract:
Urban sprawl, a type of urban expansion, is perceived as a global problem due to changes in land conversions and landscape patterns. Farms, forests and shores have been converted into urban areas; this transformation affects energy flow, biochemical cycles and climatic conditions. To follow and evaluate the physical, social and ecological results of urban sprawl, we identified and measured temporal changes in land use and land cover. This is especially important for urban planning policies. In this study, temporal change is identified in the city of Bartın using remote sensing and landscape metrics. An analysis of land cover and land transformation was done with LANDSAT5 TM/ETM satellite images from 1985 and 2015. These images were used to identify agricultural areas as land that has most commonly undergone drastic changes. Bartın is a small semi-rural city that has undergone significant changes. Among the most important reasons for these changes were uncontrolled urban sprawl due to political and administrative decisions that lacked long-term planning and a comprehensive city plan. This study examined the risk factors for loss of semi-rural characteristics using the example of Bartın city. To protect semi-rural city characteristics and control urban sprawl, we propose an agricultural belt based on spatial suitability and an evaluation of landscape metrics.

Title: Current distribution and recent development of sessile oak forests in Montseny (1956–2015)
Abstract:
There is a distribution limit of sessile oak (Quercus petraea) in the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula, with its southernmost populations located at the xeric limit for the species. We present here the current distribution of these populations in the Montseny Massif (N.E. Catalonia) and how the surface area they cover has developed over the last 50 years. Using a new high-resolution map (1:5000) we have calculated that Q. petraea currently covers 64.1 ha, and is found between 450 and 1150 m above sea level with a predominantly southern exposure, with the north-facing slopes being dominated by beech forests. With regard to its recent development, 44% of what is now dense forest was, in 1956, much more dispersed while 11% of it consisted of open spaces or shrubs. Such changes clearly show that, in Montseny, Q. petraea is well capable of regenerating its forest canopy as well as colonising adjacent environments.

Title: Conservation of historic water systems in Champaner-Pavagadh, Gujarat, India
Abstract:
Champaner-Pavagadh, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gujarat, is an interesting and unusual case study in how religion, culture, terrain, and climate interact in creating water systems that sustained large communities for 800 years between the eighth and sixteenth centuries. Water is central to Hindu worship rituals and at Pavagadh Hill, embodiment of the goddess Kalika, is symbolic of her nurturing aspects. The ornate water architecture of Champaner city at the foothill, inhabited by Muslims, celebrated water not for its symbolic value but for its sensual and utilitarian aspects. In ‘water-intelligent’ settlement planning at Champaner-Pavagadh, historic water catchment and conveyance systems ensured availability of water throughout the year. The article concludes with outlining the landscape approach to sustainable heritage landscape conservation within which water systems are restored and made functional, to serve the needs of local residents and pilgrims, and to enhance the legibility of this complex and layered site.

Title: Landscape memory in abandoned areas—physical and ecological perspectives (Central European mountains case study)
Abstract:
Using the concept of landscape memory we examined the relationship between persistence of anthropogenic landforms and their botanical composition several decades after depopulation of Karpno village (Sudetes Mts), which represents the socio-economic and ecological processes typical for mountainous areas in post-war Central Europe. The research was based on geomorphic and botanical field surveys. Evidence of anthropogenic landscape memory still persists in local land morphology and ecosystem composition, despite the apparent homogeneity of large-scale landscape features. Former human activities continue to affect local site properties, which results in a mosaic of diverse habitats. Plant species composition of secondary ecosystems remains different from both their anthropogenic precursors and surrounding natural communities. Persistent habitat eutrophication slows down competitive exclusion of shade intolerant species in sites overgrown by forest canopy. Observed evidence cannot be explained without knowledge of local history, which is vital for planning development and conservation of bio-cultural landscapes.

Title: Hidden from the wind and enjoying the water (藏风得水): the traditional cosmology of fengshui and the shaping of Dong villages in Southwestern China
Abstract:
When organising their villages, the Dong interpret the natural environment from a culture-based perspective within their traditional cosmology. This paper explores the metaphorical meanings of the winds, the water of life and the awareness of life breath qi as they are integrated into the practice of fengshui. These principles are applied by the Dong people when organising their villages, monuments and vernacular architecture. This paper particularly examines several Dong communities that share similar topography but were developed in strikingly different ways. In conclusion, this paper argues that the approach of the Dong, when siting their villages, is based on their traditional cosmology and the context of local culture but also their interpretation responding to specific situations that produce different solutions.

Title: Evaluation of the ecological efficiency of landscape protection in areas of different protection status. A case study from Poland
Abstract:
Poland ratified the ELC in 2004 and by 2015 the existing forms of landscape protection constituted a major tool for its implementation. The ecological efficiency of landscape protection in Poland in terms of the different kinds of protection status was evaluated. The main goal was to get general information about the dynamics of the changes in the landscape fragmentation process and the relationships between the landscape changes and the level of landscape protection on a national scale. A set of metrics using a CLC data-set at four points in time: 1990, 2000, 2006 and 2012 were examined. The metrics calculations were completed using FRAGSTATS 4.2.1 and Statistica software. Results confirmed that landscape protection depends on the level of protection assigned to it (the regime). In addition, it was demonstrated that the forms of the protected landscape areas are characterised by lower efficiency and higher landscape fragmentation dynamics when compared to those in unprotected areas. It also turns out that the newly established protection types such as Natura 2000 areas are characterised as insufficient tools to efficiently counteract growing human pressure. Although over 40% of the area of Poland falls under protection, merely 3% of this is characterised by a high efficiency of landscape protection.

Title: Geodesign application for bio-swale design: rule-based approach stormwater management for Ottawa Street North in Hamilton, Ontario
Abstract:
With increases in storm frequency and intensity, municipalities are finding new ways of managing stormwater. Solutions require collaboration across planning disciplines and input from an informed public. This study compares a system of bioswales to existing curb and gutter infrastructure in a post-industrial streetscape of Hamilton, Ontario. Using the geodesign process, a section of Ottawa St. North was modelled to show how green infrastructure can ease the burden on aging, combined sewer systems. Qualitative data was gathered from residents of the neighbourhood through field notes, and quantitative geospatial data through GIS. Parametric modelling was used to generate a design, and scenarios created to show resulting impacts on stormwater run-off. The model was posted online as an interactive presentation, accessible to all stakeholders for review and comment. The results of the study demonstrate powerful new tools that can assist landscape architects in designing, collaborating and communicating stormwater strategies.

Title: Editorial annex: key findings and recommendations from the HERCULES research project, and the need for a landscape approach to enviromental governance
Abstract:
This paper derives from the work of the EU-funded HERCULES (HERitage in CULtural landscapES) research project 2013–2016, which explored how future policy might respond better to the drivers, dynamics, actors, and values of European landscapes. It summarises the key findings from the project, together with its recommendations for landscape policy and practice and for science policy and further research. The paper then discusses the concept of an integrated ‘Landscape Approach’ in the context of environmental governance generally. The HERCULES findings suggest that this concept is important in analysing, formulating, and implementing policy, because it provides a holistic approach that incorporates diverse stakeholder perspectives to address landscape changes in an appropriate manner. The paper sets out some of the more detailed recommendations of the HERCULES project about harmonising EU policies in an ELC-centred and culturally informed landscape framework, based on understanding landscape character and (most importantly) civil society participation, to implement the approach.

Title: Contributions of citizen science to landscape democracy: potentials and challenges of current approaches
Abstract:
For landscape research to function in a democratic landscape governance, it must achieve two things. One, it must integrate stakeholder perspectives at multiple steps of the research process, and two, it must effectively communicate its knowledge and insights. Citizen science can be described as the involvement of the public in the scientific process, through a range of different approaches. We ask what such approaches can bring the landscape research and its stakeholders closer together. We survey the field of citizen science and present a number of typologies of approaches. Next, we introduce three applications of citizen science in the landscape context and examine them under the lens of the typologies. We find that each case employs citizen science to include stakeholders in different ways, but each of them limited to just one stage of the research process. Finally, we suggest ways forward for landscape research to achieve an integrative relationship between researchers and stakeholders.

Title: The critical issue of knowledge transfer and dissemination: a French perspective
Abstract:
The context of public research has dramatically changed over the last 20 years, with a shift in funding from recurrent institutional budgets to contractual project funding. This involves selection through bibliometric criteria, an increase in contractual staff, and a decrease in time for knowledge transfer. For academic fellows, whatever disciplines we are focusing on, transfer can be undertaken in various forms. We can analyse in each of them how the social benefit is conversely proportional to the university, research units and personal career benefit, which is a major obstacle for transfer initiatives and involvement. Faced with the international bibliometrics model, transfer can take place only in some specific conditions such as: a radical change in the research evaluation and grant system, universities depending on strong local partnerships, pressure from civil society, research units involved in social issues, very motivated academics willing to slow down their career, work twice as much—or who are already retired.

Title: Managing the future of the past: images of Exmoor landscape heritage
Abstract:
Tarr Steps is a footbridge across a river but it also bridges two temporal landscapes: the present and the ‘deep past’. Although the origins of the site are uncertain, the bridge is often represented as objectively authentic and ‘ancient’. The historicity of this claim is challenged by secondary production of the site. We unpack the discursive construction of the bridge and argue that Tarr Steps’ connection to the deep past is a cultural imaginary based on a selective interpretation of its morphology. This imaginary connection authenticates representation of the site as resembling the origin of a sequence of cultural evolution in Britain. We explore implications of this in relation to three metaphors of landscape used in the cultural heritage management tool called Historic Landscape Characterisation. In so doing, we raise questions about the future of the past, specifically in terms of the conceptualisation of temporality, authenticity and the politics of representation.

Title: Studying long-term changes in cultural landscapes: outlines of a research framework and protocol
Abstract:
Applied historical landscape research often takes place under the umbrella of sustainability issues and sustainability research, but now includes both environmental sustainability and community resilience. This confronts the study of cultural landscapes with new issues and challenges such as how to utilize long-term and more recent perspectives, and to integrate economic, cultural and ecological drivers of landscape change. A key question is how to make landscape studies relevant for both contemporary landscape services and future landscape changes. We propose a new framework for study that combines insights from landscape biography, historical ecology and systems theory. It presents a ‘protocol’ for exploratory research with premises and operational principles, and argues for geodesign in connecting environmental issues, heritage practices and question-driven historical analysis. The framework and protocol are based on recent research within the European Community’s Seventh Framework project Sustainable Futures for Europe’s Heritage in Cultural Landscapes (HERCULES).

Title: Traditional agricultural landscapes in Slovakia: why should we preserve them?
Abstract:
Faced with the disappearance and ongoing abandonment of traditional agricultural landscapes (TAL) in Europe, our primary aim is to provide scientific evidence of the importance of TAL in terms of biodiversity, cultural and social values, and to stimulate action for their preservation in the Slovakian context. Surveys at both the national and local levels have acknowledged that TAL are generally associated with a relatively high species richness of plants and animals, including the presence of rare and threatened species. They have a high cultural-historical value due to the preserved small-scale structure and the presence of typical agrarian landforms and small architectural elements. A questionnaire survey showed that a major constraint for local inhabitants in maintaining TAL arises from insufficient governmental support. We argue that governmental financial instruments should recognise the concept of TAL in the context of measures concerning High Nature Value farmland.

Title: The potential of landscape labelling approaches for integrated landscape management in Europe
Abstract:
This paper combines conceptual thinking and empirical analysis of landscape labelling as a new governance approach. With the help of a literature review and qualitative interviews, we (1) explore the conceptual orientation of landscape labelling, (2) analyse existing approaches in Europe and (3) elaborate its potential for integrated landscape management on a regional scale. Governance analysis to identify fostering and hindering factors is carried out for regional brands in biosphere reserves in Germany, geographic indication in Spain, organic agriculture in France and a community forest in England. We argue that landscape labelling can highlight the multitude of landscape functions and values, target a broader range of stakeholders and act as a boundary object and exchange platform for rural transformation, experimentation and learning. However, landscape labels are no panacea, but one approach within policy mixes that depend on supportive governance structures and stakeholders.

Title: The Emotional Affordances of Forest Settings: An Investigation in Boys with Extreme Behavioural Problems
Abstract: The physical and social participatory properties of landscapes have been explored using affordance theory but, as yet, the affective dimension of affordances is ill-defined. This paper sets out a framework for integrating affect within the affordance perceptual model. In doing so, it draws on two established models of emotion that identify ‘valence’ (pleasure-displeasure) and ‘arousal’ (inactive-active) as basic dimensions underlying an emotional response. Ethnographic methods were employed over a six-month period to observe the emotional responses to a forest setting in boys (aged 10–12) with extreme behaviour problems and confined to a specialist residential school in central Scotland. Over time, changes in affective responses to the setting were mapped and located both within the physical setting and within the circumplex emotion model. Results show an increase in positive affective responses to the forest setting over time, accompanied by increased trust, exploratory activity and social cohesion, dimensions linked in the literature with well-being. The significance of this paper is two-fold: first, it extends research in restorative health by showing how forest settings can, in a rehabilitation context over time, offer opportunities for long-term ‘instoration’ in boys suffering from extreme mental trauma. Second, it is a first attempt at integrating affect within the affordance perception framework providing a conceptual model which can be expanded upon by future researchers.

Title: Local Settlement in Woodland Birds in Fragmented Habitat: Effects of Natal Territory Location and Timing of Fledging
Abstract: Factors such as early fledging and natal territory location have been shown to influence dispersal and settlement success of woodland birds. Early fledging allows for earlier dispersal, increasing the chances of an individual locating good quality habitat. However, for birds in fragmented woodland, the advantages of early dispersal may be modified by natal territory location in relation to the availability of suitable habitat in the surrounding landscape. Connecting habitat corridors may promote dispersal, and connectivity in landscapes is usually considered as positive, but this may not always be the case. In landscapes where habitat is highly fragmented, corridors may promote departure, but leaves dispersers with little chance of success. An individual-based Spatially Explicit Population Model was used to investigate the effects of timing of fledging, natal territory location and proximity to potential dispersal corridors on local settlement rates. Modelling was based on both hypothetical and real woodlands and used marsh tit as an example woodland bird. For each modelled scenario, the number of young that settled was recorded for each territory, the overall results being expressed as the mean percentage settlement rate per territory. Territory location and edge effects were both found to influence dispersal and settlement rate. Fledging early clearly demonstrated a general advantage for local settlement success. However, territory location, in relation to the likelihood of dispersing out of the wood was found to interact with fledging order. Fledglings from internal territories had an advantage over those from edge territories and local settlement rate could be reduced by a location favourable to emigration. In general, the effect of exits was to reduce the settlement rate of early fledging young while that of later young tended to increase. In highly fragmented woodland, fledging late from a well-connected edge territory would appear to be the worst case scenario.

Title: Newer Plant Displays in Botanical Gardens: The Role of Design in Environmental Interpretation
Abstract: New design approaches can be observed in an increasing number of botanical gardens due to a desire to improve the effectiveness of environmental interpretation. This paper presents a review of these recent trends in the display of plants based on a search of botanical gardens around the world and on both theory and previous research findings that have focused on understanding people's experience in botanical gardens and other environmental interpretation settings. Four design strategies of plant display were identified, which are referred to here as familiar frames, icons, imitations and manipulations of nature. These typological categories represent recent design approaches useful for establishing stronger relationships between people, plants and associated environmental issues. Further, the potential of such displays as environmental interpretation tools is discussed based on how people perceive them.

Title: Cultural Differences in Attitudes towards Urban Parks and Green Spaces
Abstract: Understanding how different cultural and ethnic groups value and use urban parks is crucial in developing appropriate design and management strategies for urban greenspaces. However, little is known about how Turkish people respond to and use urban parks in their daily life. This study explores public attitudes towards urban parks in the Turkish cultural context through a questionnaire survey (n = 300) carried out in two popular urban parks of Isparta, Turkey. The results revealed some universal similarities to, as well as some distinct differences from, other cultures in attitudes towards urban parks. People in Turkey use urban parks generally for passive recreational activities such as picnicking, resting and relaxing, in contrast to Western countries where urban parks are generally used for walking, dog walking, sports activities and exercise. In contrast to a common concern about personal safety in urban parks, this study determined a positive perception of safety among Turkish people. Appreciation of natural features, experienced benefits, the need for recreational facilities and concerns for general cleanliness and maintenance were found as universally similar attitudes in urban parks.

Title: Rethinking tourism narratives on the cultural landscapes of Asturias (Northern Spain) from the perspective of Landscape Archaeology: do archaeologists have anything to say?
Abstract:
As in other rural areas in Spain, the Asturian countryside suffers from a profound demographic and economic crisis. Since tourism emerged as one of the main hopes for the reactivation of rural economy, the regional government has made a particular effort in promoting rural tourism. This paper intends to assess the effects that naturalistic and atemporal narratives of Asturian landscapes exert on the rural farming communities, which define the ‘tourism imaginaries’ as they become established as identity referents not only for visitors, but for the inhabitants of the region themselves. Archaeology can enhance the local communities’ agency through the appreciation of cultural values attached to these landscapes. To this end, the diachronic depth of the social and productive processes which shaped the Asturian landscapes is emphasised by relying on Landscape Archaeology. The relevant role played by farmers and herders in these activities merits their involvement in actively designing future policies.

Title: The interpretation of the English landscape garden between 1815 and 1840 through Xavier Kurten’s work in Piedmont (north-west Italy)
Abstract:
Xavier Kurten (?–1840) was a Prussian landscape gardener who worked for the Savoy family in the Piedmont region of Italy in the first half of the nineteenth century. He designed or redesigned all royal parks, creating a specific style based on the English naturalistic garden approach. This research was performed with the aim of investigating the development of the English landscape garden in Italy. Historical documents relating to Kurten’s biography and his work in Piedmont, including plans, were collected and analysed. We analyse and discuss the features that characterised his work: the relationship between the landscape—garden—house, the path system, the use of water, the vegetation, and the garden as a productive landscape. Kurten’s style is compared with the projects of William Kent and Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown.

Title: Exploring place attachment and visions of nature of water-based recreationists: the case of the longitudinal dams
Abstract:
This study concerns an innovative project in the Dutch river Waal: the construction of longitudinal dams. By splitting the river into a main and secondary channel, these dams significantly impact the river landscape and the way it is used by different stakeholders. We report the results of a baseline study of the expectations local water-based recreationists (fishermen and boaters) had of the longitudinal dams before they were constructed. In addition, we explore their levels of place attachment, and use the visions of nature approach to elicit their lay philosophy of nature. We found that fishermen were more strongly attached to the area than boaters. Though expectations of the dams were generally negative, this differed significantly between fishermen and boaters, and between different dimensions of landscape change. We demonstrate the relevance of place attachment and visions of nature for understanding how recreationists perceive landscape change.

Title: Determinants of a successful public open space: the case of Dataran Merdeka in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Abstract:
Successful public open spaces are comfortable arenas where people of different backgrounds, genders and ethnicities benefit from miscellaneous opportunities. This paper seeks to determine the components of a successful public open space. First, a self-administered questionnaire survey identifies the users’ evaluations. Second, structured interviews explore the experts’ opinions about the relevant issues. The results show that social success is the most important factor in making successful public open spaces, while the physical attributes play the least significant role in such spaces. The paper presents a series of pragmatic suggestions that assist urban designers, landscape architects, architects, policy-makers and urban planners in creating lively communities in city centres, which contributes to the social sustainability of cities.

Title: Sociocultural factors of the late Ming and early Qing Chinese garden landscape, based on philosophies seen in , , and
Abstract:
This study explores garden landscape design philosophies during the Ming–Qing transitional period in China as presented in three different garden design books: Zhangwuzhi (长物志), Yuanye (园冶), and Xianqingouji (闲情偶寄). During this period, the Confucian hierarchical social system fractured as the merchant class began to encroach on high society. In reaction to this change, Zhangwuzhi proposed the ‘elegant’ garden design ideology to maintain the cultural hegemony of the gentry. Reflecting the rising social status of merchants, Yuanye applied this ideology to the gardens of the merchant class. In early Qing, as commoners’ ownership of gardens increased, Xianqingouji optimised the ‘elegant’ ideology, and introduced it as a practical design for ordinary citizens’ gardens. In sum, all three books applied the ‘elegant’ ideology to garden landscapes of different classes in response to the social changes of the time.

Title: A home among the gum trees: the Victorian Sanatorium for consumptives, Echuca and Mount Macedon
Abstract:
The history of the treatment of tuberculosis in Australia has largely been focused on the development of medical treatments, the architectural features of custom-built sanatoria and the human impact of the disease in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. These discussions often mention contemporary debates amongst medical men and the laity regarding the best treatment, but the influence of medical climatology in deciding where medical facilities should be placed is often overlooked. The first sanatorium in the Colony of Victoria had two branches: Echuca and Mount Macedon. These two locations differ in terms of altitude, the surrounding forest and meteorological variation. Yet, both sites were considered suitable at the time for the location of a sanatorium, possibly due to the health-promoting and aesthetic aspects of nearby eucalypt forests. This article explores why they may at first modernly appear to be substantially different locations, but contemporary medical climatology emphasised their similarities.

Title: Managing hillside landscapes as national forest: lessons learned from the Beijing Western Hills
Abstract:
The question of how to sustainably manage hillside landscapes as national forests is a global concern, yet strategies for effective policy action remain to be discussed, especially in China where reforestation and nationalisation of barren mountains have ended up causing even more problems. While the existing studies of Chinese national forests mainly focus on general overviews of national policies that omit nuanced and empirically rich information, this paper presents instead a deep case study of the Beijing Western Hills in which occurred the first synthesis of hillside forest management instruments that now form Chinese public policy. The findings suggest that state intervention is indispensable to hillside forest management, but it may become financially unsustainable without private sector involvement. A transition to collaborative governance is necessary to broaden and diversify the range of revenues for and from hillside forests, and it should happen step-by-step so that those newly included in decision-making can get better prepared.

Title: The Landscape Inventory of Galicia (NW Spain): GIS-web and public participation for landscape planning
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention recognises the importance of public participation for landscape planning in order to capture local knowledge, sensitive issues and conflicts, boost exchanges of information and democratise the process. However, traditional public participation methods are frequently restricted to public exposure at the final stage of the planning process. New public participation movements call for a greater role for the people at all stages. The growing development of ICT and geospatial information technologies provides new means of improving the participation process. This paper describes the public participation procedure and the participation geographic information system used to develop the Landscape Inventory of Galicia, whose results were used for the characterisation of landscape types, the delimitation of special interest areas from the locations identified by citizens and the definition of special attention areas from the degraded areas located by population.

Title: Perceptions of ecological and aesthetic quality by natural resource professionals and local people. A qualitative exploration in a mountainous landscape (La Rioja, Spain)
Abstract:
This research analyses how aesthetic and ecological evaluations of the landscape studied overlap and interrelate in the attitudes of local people and natural resource professionals. The analytical framework adopted, built on Canter’s Theory of Place, explores the people–place relationship by examining the interaction of three components: physical attributes, conceptions and activities. The findings show that the two groups differed in how they ascribed meaning to landscape and how they interpreted its ecological and aesthetic qualities. Both groups expected managed landscape to appear well cared for and to some degree understood this appearance as a sign of good ecological management. However, while they shared a positive perception of some signs of care, they differed in their evaluation of other characteristics. Several implications for landscape management, especially in the detected areas of conflict and synergy, are identified.

Title: What makes a garden in the elderly care facility well used?
Abstract:
Along with the worldwide ageing process, quality of life for those older people who live in care facilities has received increasing attention. Although gardens have been shown to contribute to the quality of life in various ways, and are commonly provided, they can hardly help much if not well used. Therefore, this study was carried out to identify factors in garden establishment and operation that influence garden usage in elderly care facilities. Face-to-face interviews with management, elderly residents and staff, together with continuous unobtrusive observations, were conducted in two elderly care facilities in Hong Kong. Findings suggest that scale of the facility and garden, location of the garden, attitudes towards the garden among residents, as well as support from staff are influential in garden usage in elderly care facilities. Suggestions to optimise garden usage are provided accordingly.

Title: The Influence of the Environment on Directed Attention, Blood Pressure and Heart Rate—An Experimental Study Using a Relaxation Intervention
Abstract:
Attention is a basic cognitive function necessary in most daily activities. Beneficial effects on cognitive abilities after exposure to nature have been reported. To explore if relaxation indoors and in nature differently affect directed attention and physiological measures, 51 participants (39 women) were measured on directed attention with the Necker Cube Pattern Control Test before and after a guided progressive relaxation session indoors and outdoors in nature. Additionally, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured before and after the relaxation. Participants’ environmental preference was explored. The main result showed an environmental effect on directed attention in favour of the natural environment. No similar environmental effect on physiological measures was seen. The results indicate that relaxation in natural environments had a positive effect on directed attention and hence could be an important component for preventive and rehabilitative interventions for stress-related symptoms.

Title: Pathways through the Landscape in a Changing Climate: The Role of Landscape Structure in Facilitating Species Range Expansion through an Urbanised Region
Abstract:
Under climate change many species may need to shift polewards to track suitable bioclimatic conditions. This movement is likely to be impeded by intensively modified landscapes, but little is known in practice about how species undergo range expansion in these conditions. Using biological record data, this paper explores the occurrence of five butterfly species undertaking range expansion in the UK through an urbanised landscape to better understand the ‘pathways’ or landscape features used to expand their distributions. The findings demonstrate that the two most adaptable species were able to navigate well through the urban matrix. Significantly, the remaining three species used more rural pathways, with two using stepping stones of habitat patches and landscape corridors and the final, most specialised species using near-connected chains of woodland habitat. These findings emphasise the importance of retaining corridors of open land around hostile matrices and in this instance, a planning designation ‘Green Belt’ proved to be particularly effective in providing broad pathways of open land for range expansion through a heavily urbanised landscape.

Title: Building Collective Knowledge Through Design: The Making of the Nicolò Riparian Garden Along the Simeto River (Sicily, Italy)
Abstract:
Insurgent movements advocating environmental protection have garnered attention from design disciplines for their capacity to envision sustainable powerful transformations of human environments. In the last twenty years, the recognition of this potential has entered into research agendas, which have mainly focused on explaining through case studies how these phenomena have been able to affect institutional planning efforts in relation to environmental issues. Following a Participatory Action Research approach, this article presents a design experience carried out by a partnership established between a grass-roots association and university researchers in the Simeto River Valley (Sicily, Italy). It shows how design research techniques, borrowed from place making and community design approaches, can be used as instruments to promote goals of community-based organisations and advance their capacity in conceiving actions to transform local environments.

Title: The Production of Local Landscape Heritage: A Case Study in The Netherlands
Abstract:
In their daily surroundings, people perpetually produce heritage, as they experience, assign meaning to and act upon local historical landscape features. We conducted a case study in a peat district in the Netherlands to investigate heritage construction in various local landscape practices. These practices reflected distinctive patterns of routinised activities, motives to engage with these activities, historical landscape artefacts that are deemed valuable and meanings assigned to these artefacts. Across these landscape practices, we identified different modes of producing heritage meanings: (a) driven by landscape aesthetics, (b) framed by potential spatial threats, (c) structured by family roots, and (d) generated by the desire to belong to the community. Our study demonstrates that heritage production can vary a lot even within a relatively homogenous local culture. In addition, our results suggest that heritage is sometimes produced implicitly, rather than explicitly.

Title: Identifying Features of Pocket Parks that May Be Related to Health Promoting Use
Abstract:
Urban green spaces have been shown to promote health and well-being and recent research indicates that the two primary potentially health promoting uses of pocket parks are ‘rest and restitution’ and ‘socialising’. The aim of this study is to identify features in pocket parks that may support these uses. The relationship between the two types of use and the shape, size, noise level, greenness, as well as ‘elements’ (paved and unpaved trails, café, historical feature, table, other seating than benches, flowerbeds, view outside park, playground) in nine pocket parks in Copenhagen were analysed. The results show that ‘green features’ do not seem to be of crucial importance for ‘socialising’ whereas, as expected, features promoting gathering should be prioritised. For ‘rest and restitution’, the main results show that ‘green ground cover’ and ‘enclosed green niches’ are important, while ‘disturbing features’ (playground, view outside park) should be avoided. The results add knowledge about the features which support the health promoting use of pocket parks to the existing body of research.

Title: Deciphering Historic Landscapes: A Case Study of Slender West Lake in Yangzhou, China
Abstract:
Historic landscapes today are changing gradually or abruptly, and the abrupt changes have caused the loss of much historic information. How to identify and protect the significant evidence of dynamic landscapes is a question that must be answered by each cultural community. This article establishes a decipherment process—an operational guide for landscape assessment in China. This is a methodology using European methods integrated with traditional Chinese ways of landscape appreciation, providing an effective approach to translate the cultural landscape framework into the conservation inventory. Using Slender West Lake as a case study, the decipherment process has expanded the existing landscape investigation theory using the factor of artistic conception to integrate intangible values into the assessment process. It has also established a unit-based method to classify and represent historic landscapes.

Title: Characterising the Morphology of Suburban Settlements: A Method Based on a Semi-automatic Classification of Building Clusters
Abstract:
Urban sprawl is transforming our landscapes and rural areas at a spectacular pace. Measuring the strength of the phenomenon and proposing dynamic ways to delineate suburban areas have been the object of much debate amongst scientists. The present article takes the view that, beyond measuring and delineating suburban areas, more efforts should be directed to qualifying the morphology of built settlements within these areas. Therefore, it proposes a method based on a semi-automatic classification system of building clusters, designed to describe and interpret the phenomenon from a morphological perspective. This method is based on a combination of field surveys with numerical analyses of digital land cadastre maps. The application of this classification system to the suburban area around Liege reveals that, far from developing in a complete indifference of local conditions, contemporary suburban settlements are influenced by landscape structures inherited from the past.

Title: Avifaunal Richness and Abundance Along an Urban Rural Gradient with Emphasis on Vegetative and Anthropogenic Attributes in Tiruchirappalli, India
Abstract:
Urban expansion and human migration from rural to urban locations have complex relationships with environmental change. Habitat fragmentation, loss of biodiversity and vegetation changes are some of the most common impacts of urbanisation. In many Indian cities, the urban core is characterised by historical human settlements with narrow lanes and packed commercial establishments, while urbanisation that occurred after 1970s preferred spacing between the dwellings with more greenery or urban forestry. As urbanisation progresses, the urban fringes have more scope for incorporating environmental concerns and conservation. In this study, we measured species richness and abundance of birds within varied urban habitats and landscapes along the urban–rural gradient in Tiruchirappalli, India. We also tried to determine the linkage between bird diversity and landscape attributes including anthropogenic factors. Our observations showed that within urban areas, certain landscapes favoured species richness while many habitats are unfriendly for species but encouraged homogenisation. As we move from urban core towards rural gradient, the species richness increased; however, it is not uniform in all peripheral directions. Interestingly, the urban fringes at certain pockets had richness equivalent to rural locations. Species richness positively correlated with vegetation cover while built cover, noise, vehicular movement and pedestrians had negative impacts. As the urban fringes are in various stages of development, they have more scope for integrating ecological and biodiversity considerations and in this aspect wetlands, riverine farmlands and urban forests may play a crucial role in retaining native birds and also supporting migratory bird species.

Title: he Line of Beauty in River Designs: Hogarth’s Aesthetic Theory on Capability Brown’s Eighteenth-Century River Design and Twentieth-Century River Restoration Design
Abstract:
William Hogarth (1697–1764) was an influential eighteenth-century philosopher whose theory of beauty (1753) held that the “serpentine” line was the ideal “line of beauty.” Contemporary with Hogarth, the landscape architect Capability Brown (1716–1783) designed landscapes in England and Wales, creating sinuous water features by damming and reshaping small streams, perhaps the earliest examples of stream restoration. Prior authors suggested that Brown’s designs reflected the influence of Hogarth. Twentieth-century stream restoration projects in North America have been characterised by highly sinuous and symmetrical curves. Comparing the sinuosity and symmetry of Brown’s eighteenth-century water features, twentieth-century stream restoration projects, and Hogarth’s line of beauty, we found Brown’s features matched Hogarth’s line in sinuosity but were asymmetrical, while the recent stream restoration project designs had higher sinuosities and were nearly perfectly symmetrical.

Title: Political landscapes between manifestations and democracy, identities and power
Abstract:
This editorial discusses the importance of a political perspective on landscapes and comes to the conclusion that political aspects can be discovered in virtually all landscapes as they are inevitably imbued with politics, antagonistic dimensions and power. It furthermore analyses previous research on political landscapes and on ‘the political’ in relation to landscapes. It does so with reference to four key aspects: (a) physical and representational manifestations, (b) landscape democracy, (c) collective or individual identities and (d) productive or repressive power relationships. These aspects establish a framework according to which the subsequent papers of this special issue are introduced. Finally, a tentative agenda for further research on ‘political landscapes’ is outlined.

Title: Background information or future vision? Mapping wild reindeer landscapes in a planning process
Abstract:
Despite the importance of maps, both as background information for landscape management and as plans, there is surprisingly little literature on the influence of maps in landscape planning. Following post-representational theory, this paper argues that maps are processual and that understanding the power of maps involves an understanding of their performance. Rather than being a representation, an artefact, an argument or a proposition, a map is a multi-vocal phenomenon that harbours multiple possibilities. During one regional wild reindeer planning process in Norway, a habitat map became surprisingly powerful. By combining a visual analysis of the map and an intertextual analysis of planning documents and interviews with relevant actors, I show how their visual traits convey social structures, which cater to the maps’ performative potential. Understanding the varied ways maps are used in political processes may aid our understanding of their power, and possibly of the political outcomes of the same processes.

Title: The politics of landscape production in the history of development along Florida’s Atlantic coast
Abstract:
The politics of landscape production involve questions about the power to define what landscape means, who or what belongs to landscape and who or what belongs in landscape. Asserting the right to participate in landscape production and thus to help steer landscape along desirable development pathways remains a core component of landscape politics and grows in importance as many societies experience widespread citizen withdrawal from engagement in political processes. In this article, I review the history of landscape production in Florida, USA, to reveal the interrelated consequences of adjustments in political economy, administration, land use and spatial representations for future landscape development. In particular, my analysis of the strategic contestation of undesirable development in the production of the local landscape in a small coastal community highlights the increasing need to engage strategically in the politics of landscape production in the pursuit of socially and environmentally desirable landscapes the world over.

Title: Re-conceptualising political landscapes after the material turn: a typology of material events
Abstract:
This paper conceptualises and categorises the various relationships between materiality, discursive construction of landscapes and collective action. Building on both post-structuralist and non-representational geography, and incorporating insights from social systems theory and from evolutionary governance theory, we present a perspective on materiality as shaping landscapes, communities and cultures through different pathways. These pathways might involve the construction of landscape concepts and can potentially affect collective choice in political landscapes of actors and institutions. Five types of material events are distinguished: silent, whispering, vigorous, fading and deadly events. These events constitute the spectrum in which materiality and changes in materiality affect communication and action. Such conceptualisation and categorisations help to avoid setting up a harsh distinction between matter and discourse, or a simple choice for one over the other as ontologically prior.

Title: Exopolis reloaded: fragmented landscapes and no man’s lands in a North-Eastern Italian border region
Abstract:
This paper examines a ‘landscape of power’ in the marginal northeastern corner of Italy, near the Italian-Slovenian border. The landscape is centred around the small town of Gradisca and its highly contested centres for asylum seekers and marked by the concomitant presence of a giant shopping mall, the largest Italian war memorial, and an aestheticised wine district. The result of participant observation, visual and textual analysis, and selected interviews, this study reflects on the transformation of a former cold war border area into a mix of carceral, hospitality, commercial, residential, rural spatialities that seem to be entirely disconnected with each other and linked instead to broader regional, national and international geographies. This fragmented landscape, dominated by massive ‘fortified’ enclosures and with gradually deterritorialised in-between spaces, described here as no man’s land, may be provocatively analysed as an Italian exopolis.

Title: Self-mobilisation and lived landscape democracy: local initiatives as democratic landscape practices
Abstract:
In both the European Landscape Convention and academic literature there is a widespread idea that public participation in landscape matters increases landscape democracy. Based on theories promoting self-mobilisation as the ultimate form of public participation, the article studies and discusses efforts rooted in local communities related to questions of democracy. Fieldwork was carried out in two different communities characterised by such efforts. The author first discusses the efforts within the context of a Nordic conception of landscape practices, encompassing all forms of landscape management and use, and then discusses the democratic nature of different practices. The findings indicate that aspects of democracy are threatened when local self-mobilisation efforts develop politically. To broaden the current understanding of landscape democracy, the author advocates the need to extend the scientific understanding of modern landscape practices to include those carried out with the intention to undertake landscape changes and improvements.

Title: No interest in landscape? The art of non-participation in Danish landscape planning
Abstract:
While scholarly ambitions of participation are regularly confronted with people’s unwillingness to participate, such observations are often not dealt with within the participatory discourse theory. Based on a qualitative approach, this paper examines the question of people’s non-participation in modern Danish landscape planning. The focus involves a critical investigation of the dominating idea that participation is always ‘a good thing’ and that people will always find it advantageous to participate. Tracing the stages of the author’s own research within participatory processes in Danish landscape planning, two key categories are identified as the deeper causes of people’s non-participation: the fear of the intimate, and the fear of the strange. A general conclusion is that non-participation can be explained in terms of ambivalence. The desire for landscape development does exist, but the related visions for development are narrowed down to each participant’s self-realisations as solutions are not seen in the political sphere.

Title: The drone’s eye: applications and implications for landscape architecture
Abstract:
The use of next-generation automated consumer drones for aerial imaging and mapping is increasingly common. As a field that recurrently seeks new mapping methods, the practical aspects of drone imaging and mapping are most evidently applicable to landscape architecture. However, as a social art, landscape architecture also has a vested interest in the cultural implications of the consumer-oriented features of next-generation drones. This article bridges these professional and amateur domains of drone use. First, the article uses a topographically complex case study site to compare drone functionality against established imaging and mapping technologies. Second, the article interprets the potential implications of these applications on the practice and theory of landscape architecture. The article concludes that high fidelity drone mapping has the capacity to refocus contemporary landscape discourse from a predominantly satellite-based viewpoint to the site scale at which landscape is both experienced and designed.

Title: Changes and continuities in a Mediterranean landscape: a new interdisciplinary approach to understanding historic character in western Catalonia
Abstract:
To understand why historic landscapes changed in the past researchers need to identify when and where changes took place, but in rural landscapes, the origins and development of many historic elements including field systems, roads, terraces and other earthworks remain poorly understood. This paper outlines a practical interdisciplinary method using GIS-based historic landscape characterisation (HLC) to integrate data from different sources and model how historic character varies in space. It pilots an innovative approach using luminescence profiling and dating that can underpin the HLC with significantly improved knowledge of historic processes of change. We focus on four case studies of terraced agricultural landscapes in western Catalonia and demonstrate for the first time that existing terrace systems often have medieval or early modern origins.

Title: Landscape dynamics of Mediterranean montane grasslands over 60 years and implications for habitats conservation. A case study in the northern Apennines (Italy)
Abstract:
Widespread trends of abandonment have strongly affected Mediterranean mountains after the Second World War, triggering spontaneous recolonisation of forests. A diachronic analysis of the landscape in a Natura 2000 site (Tuscany, Italy) was carried out using digital aerial photographs (1954, 2013) and a GIS-based methodology, focusing on territories above 1300 m a.s.l. The detected variations of total areas, patch shape, patch dimensions and selected metrics showed a notable shift of the vegetation towards woody types and a drastic reduction of open grasslands, some with high conservation value, accompanied by a strong increase in patch number, surface and edge. A decrease of SDI and SEI diversity indices was also observed. Considering that fragmentation is one of the main causes threatening habitats and species, our results point out a clear necessity for a monitoring programme and suitable actions aimed at improving the status of biodiversity-rich montane grasslands.

Title: Landscape and the cultural politics of China’s anticipatory urbanism
Abstract:
China has seen a proliferation of monumental urban projects in recent years extending to lower tier cities. This paper examines the production of new urban landscapes in the Kangbashi New District of Ordos Municipality to assess the political economy and cultural logics of China’s current-day city-making programmes. The concept of ‘anticipatory urbanism’ is developed to interpret how monumentality in the built environment is aimed at foretelling new developmental futures promising to deliver power to the local state and prosperity to residents. The analysis assesses public responses to landscape transformations and discusses how speculation in the production of new city spaces generates conflict and crisis for the local state. Anticipatory urbanism is found to feed off government ambition and undermines sustainable urban growth.

Title: The landscape taxonomic pyramid (LTP): a multi-scale classification adapted to spatial planning
Abstract:
Recent decades have witnessed the burgeoning of diverse international treaties on landscape (European Landscape Convention = ELC, 2000; Latin American Landscape Initiative = LALI, 2013). Their influence leads to a growing need for landscape classification in all signatory countries. In Spain, the ELC has encouraged the incorporation of landscape to land planning. As a result, concepts and methods have been put forward integrating taxonomies and inventories within a common hierarchical structure. This trend is sponsored by epistemic currents conceiving landscape as a continuous cognitive object, whose semblance is modulated by the scale of contemplation. Simultaneously some pragmatic requirements arise from the need to frame landscape policy to fit different spatial spheres for decision-making and public participation; recent instrumentation and automation developments push in the same direction, although landscape contains an irreducible core where subjectivity and expert opinion are dominant factors. Such are the circumstances leading to the present proposal, whose ambition is to revive the discussion on landscape classification focusing on subsidiarity. A multi-level taxonomic procedure is described, where landscape description offers the opportunity to relate levels of land use and landscape policy decision-making to appropriate landscape unit levels.

Title: An aesthetic approach to planting design in urban parks and greenspaces
Abstract:
This study attempts to contribute planting design theory by providing a visual analysis of, and in the aesthetic sense an alternative scenario for, planting design practices in urban parks and greenspaces. In the study, plants are regarded as effective elements and an expression of form and texture. A matrix is developed to assess their formal effects by experts. Development of the matrix incorporates visual properties of plants, basic design principles, and Gestalt theory. Visual analysis of existing planting design practices in six different silhouettes in two urban parks and an alternative planting design scenario is then suggested. This study, developing a method to analyse a landscape silhouette, provides clues to produce ideal silhouettes in terms of formal aesthetics using design principles. It is suggested that there is a potential for landscape researchers to further develop this method using other variables of formal aesthetics and Gestalt principles and in other settings.

Title: Systems, habitats or places: evaluating the potential role of landscape character assessment in operationalising the ecosystem approach
Abstract:
A key challenge for research and practice is to understand how the ecosystem approach can be rolled out in spatial planning, management and decision-making. Any framework used to apply the ecosystem approach needs to not only be environmentally coherent but also socially meaningful. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and case studies, this paper examines the potential role of one place-based approach, landscape character assessment, as a medium to ensure socio-ecological relevance in operationalising the ecosystem approach. Our findings show that although place-based approaches have value as frameworks for distilling the ecosystem approach into a manageable form, their ecological relevance is a subject of debate. However, the potential relationship between landscape character, function and ecosystem services presented a powerful pathway for operationalising the ecosystem approach. The ecosystem approach may, in turn, complement landscape character assessment by providing a framework for exploring the functional dimension of landscape condition.

Title: The transnational Gulf City: Saudi and migrant values of public open spaces in Jeddah
Abstract:
This paper outlines patterns of use, perceived benefits and place attachment relating to public open space in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, a city in which almost half the residents are born overseas. The methods included case studies representing different recreational landscape typologies, observational analysis and 85 on-site interviews (46% Saudi, 54% migrants). The findings outline the benefits of visiting as a retreat from busy lifestyles, for everyday sociability, for improving health, for religious practice and for mutual support, highlighting dimensions of gender, transnationality and heritage. The paper explores place attachment related to displacement comparing between impacts of migration and of rapid urbanisation. The narratives suggest that experiences shaped by temporality and memory inform emotional geographies for both Saudi and migrant residents. There are differences in patterns of use between resident groups, but the paper concludes that, within a highly stratified society, the public open spaces of Jeddah provide an important resource of shared pleasures and everyday multiculture.

Title: Literature and sense of place in UK landscape strategy
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention treats public perception and participation as essential to the integration of landscape within policy-making. Yet critiques of the implementation of the Convention in the UK through expert-led landscape character assessment (LCA) suggest that incorporation of public perception has been minimal and that the democratic potential of the Convention remains largely unrealised. This article examines the problematic role of perception in LCA and looks at examples where literature has been used to achieve a limited accommodation between subjective and objective modes of landscape characterisation. It argues for an expansion of this approach in the interests of public engagement, discussing landscape projects where participants have been supported to produce their own creative writing to cultivate not just landscape ‘literacy’ but a sense of connection with and stewardship of places.

Title: Children’s interactions with water in city centres: a case study from Sheffield, UK
Abstract:
Children’s experiences of outdoor environments have been studied now for more than 40 years yet no research has specifically focussed on children’s experiences of water play in constructed spaces of city centres. This article discusses the development of an observational mapping tool, called TOWEC, to record the interaction of children with water. It then reports findings and analysis from observations over a year-long period of 3,399 children interacting with water in the award winning public open space of the Peace Gardens in the centre of the City of Sheffield, UK. The findings reveal that children undertake both active and passive activities associated with the constructed water features and that these activities are influenced by gender, age and temperature, but not ethnicity. The water features were not designed for children to play in but the children realise the potential affordance that the water features provide.

Title: The Seniors’ Outdoor Survey (SOS Tool): comparing ratings and reliability between Italy and the USA
Abstract:
To test applicability of an environmental assessment instrument in new settings, the ratings and reliability of the SOS Tool were compared in diverse settings with a similar climate: Milan, Italy; and Bryan/College Station, Texas, USA. This instrument evaluates physical environment support for outdoor usage by residents at senior facilities. Two trained raters assigned ratings (using a 1–7 scale) to the 60 instrument items at each setting (Italy: 94 outdoor spaces, 67 facilities; US: 22 outdoor spaces, 12 facilities). Overall mean ratings were similar across both sites (6% difference), and three of the five domains had comparable mean ratings. Mean inter-rater reliability was good in both settings but higher in Italy (ICC = .97 versus .82). Despite geographic/cultural differences, mean ratings for most items and domains were surprisingly similar between Italy and the US. This finding, and the high inter-rater reliability found in both settings, suggest this instrument may be useful in a wide range of settings.

Title: An exploratory approach for using EEG to examine person-environment interaction
Abstract:
This study uses psychophysiological measures, alpha and beta waves, to examine the appropriateness of videos as visual media to represent a human-made lake. Results indicate that alpha brainwaves are associated more with peaks in the on-site condition than with peaks in the video condition, whereas beta waves show the opposite pattern. The findings suggest that people respond differently to a real lake and its video simulation. Moreover, the relationships between the brainwave responses of the participants across time and the environmental features shown in the video are identified. The findings show that four categories of landscape features may be associated with significant bursts of beta rhythms: conjunction/turns of paths, ambiguous water features, disadvantageous landscapes, and obtrusive artifacts. Design implications are discussed based on the results.

Title: Exploring the linkages between the building, home garden and human system resilience in Lefke Region of North Cyprus
Abstract:
Resilience has been a challenging approach to analyse the built environment–society linkages and to design more sustainable built environments for enhancing society’s quality of life. This paper explores the linkages between the building, home garden and human system resilience in the Lefke region of North Cyprus. To this end, 50 buildings with a vernacular value, their home gardens and householders were evaluated. The method consisted of developing a conceptual framework for better understanding the linkages among the three systems, exploring the appropriate resilience assessment indicators for the systems, data collection with a questionnaire and data evaluation (based on a 1–5 Likert scale). The results revealed that the average relative values of the building, home garden and human system resilience are, respectively, 2.22 (low), 2.49 (low), and 3.63 (medium). Diversity, traditional knowledge and connectivity were found to be the key indicators for evaluating the linkages amongst the systems.

Title: Dwelling and tourism: embracing the non-representational in the tourist landscape
Abstract:
The dwelling perspective outlines that landscapes are the product of embodied actions and practices. Landscape scholars studying tourism and tourism scholars studying landscapes have neglected to apply this perspective to local realities. Tourism most often represents an activity to integrate to the landscape, rather than a complex socio-spatial phenomenon. When embodiments are studied, it is generally to speak of the tourist experience. I propose using the dwelling perspective to infuse tourist landscapes with the non-representational ethos of materiality and embodiment. My proposition acknowledges the socio-cultural complexities that the tourist system imposes on local people, and addresses landscape as a material realm where there is constant interplay between localised practices and tourism dynamics. This perspective centres scientific conversations on the complex, yet mundane, experience of inhabiting tourist landscapes. Scholars should consider the impacts of tourism on living spaces as they contribute to the formation of language influencing planners and politicians.

Title: The role of emotions on tourists’ willingness to pay for the Alpine landscape: a latent class approach
Abstract:
Previous research suggests that landscape preferences vary systematically amongst people. While various sources of heterogeneity have been considered in landscape preference literature, the role of emotions on willingness to pay for landscape features has never been examined. This article presents results of a choice experiment carried out for eliciting tourists’ for Alpine landscapes. The emotional state of respondents was used to model heterogeneity in a latent class approach. The study area is a valley in the Italian Alps, characterised by a strong importance of the primary sector and a low number of tourists. Landscape management could attract new visitors, providing additional income for the local inhabitants. Results indicate that respondents prefer a variegated and multi-faceted landscape, with a mix of tree species, several agricultural crops and open areas with grazing animals and that incidental emotions play a role in the construction of landscape preferences and influence willingness to pay.

Title: European and natural landscapes as carriers of place identity: a correlational study in Italian and Spanish regions
Abstract:
This study investigated whether European, Mediterranean and natural landscapes might trigger identification responses among residents of Mediterranean Europe. The participants (N = 546) were students from three Italian and three Spanish regions who rated their level of place identification by looking at eight pictures of prototypical landscapes, each depicting a unique combination of attributes in a 2×2×2 research design (European/non-European, Mediterranean/non-Mediterranean and natural/built). The results confirmed both European and natural landscapes as stronger carriers of identification than non-European and built landscapes, respectively, whereas no differences emerged between Mediterranean and non-Mediterranean landscapes. The statistical analysis of two-way interactions showed the amplification effect of the combined European–natural landscape, whilst a less clear picture emerged from the other two interactions. These findings suggest that landscape images may be used to foster a more inclusive identity at the supranational level and thus increase the sense of belonging among European citizens.

Title: Evaluating landscape changes using vegetation and land-use maps: an integrated approach
Abstract:
Over the past 60 years, European mountain landscapes have been affected by land abandonment coupled with urbanisation through tourist exploitation. The Bormio surroundings (southern-central Alps, Italy) are an exemplary case study for these phenomena. To evaluate their landscape changes of the last 50 years, a sequence of two vegetation maps (1959, 1975) and a land-use map (2009) were harmonised in terms of spatial scale and thematic contents. The cartographic units were reclassified as Landscape Elements (LE) on the basis of their dominant species. Change at landscape and LE level were analysed by a set of non-redundant metrics. The loss and fragmentation of meadows, as well as an increasing recovery of woodlands and a doubling of urbanised areas, characterised landscape changes.Meadows and subalpine shrublands were highlighted as being the most threatened landscape elements. The advisability of landscape monitoring for the conservation of the endangered habitats is briefly discussed.

Title: Landscape as a Driver for Well-being: The ELC in the Globalist Arena
Abstract: The European Landscape Convention (ELC) recognizes that landscapes are dynamic entities that change over time and advocates appropriate management strategies that will protect landscape values and the well-being of communities and individuals affected by change. Global drivers are however often powerful forces to which the inhabitants of landscape don't have means to resist. Two cases of dramatic landscape change, in the contrasting geographies and political contexts of New Zealand and Palestine, are presented. The first example is located within a benign context and the other in an area of extreme conflict. Nonetheless in both cases the changes described have striking visible impact on the landscape and significant flow-on effects, some of them intangible and unquantifiable, on the well-being of the people who inhabit these landscapes. These cases present the two ends of a spectrum in which the hypothesis of a world landscape convention inspired by the ELC is relevant. The argument is that the moral imperative of a landscape convention in the spirit of the ELC holds the potential to become the mechanism to mitigate such ill effects of landscape change at a breadth of situations from the everyday ordinary landscape to military conflict zones.

Title: The Earth is Not a Globe: Landscape versus the ‘Globalist’ Agenda
Abstract: ‘Globalism’ can be defined as a mode of thought deriving from the practice of thinking globally, both literally and figuratively. Globalism not only informs major trends within governance and economics, it also informs environmental issues, not least those related to global warming. It will be argued, using the example of the production of energy and power, that there may well be a built-in contradiction between globalism and the interests of landscape as the diverse place of people, polity and nature. This study discusses the theoretical and practical implications of such a contradiction.

Title: Local Rights to Landscape in the Global Moral Economy of Carbon
Abstract: Energy policy is an increasingly influential driver for landscape change in the Global North and in rapidly industrializing nations. The renewable energy industry and the large utilities installing wind farms are increasingly powerful actors in the global economy, and their activities are giving rise to a growing number of energy-landscape conflicts. Dependent on its characteristics with regards to the local landscape and the energy system it is part of, a renewable energy project can be portrayed as representing either development or conservation, and representing either globalization or localization. By interrogating landscape as a right, and carbon as a commodity, this paper reveals a number of tensions between abstract, aggregate and top-down narratives that are typical of a globalist discourse, and more localized, contextualized and individuated concerns. We draw attention to examples of reconciliation through customized entrepreneurial activities which manage to make sense of landscape, energy and climate issues at the local level, and which can be enacted and presented through both a globalist and a local narrative. These developments illustrate that hybridity of the local and the global is yielding differential rural energy geographies, consistent with Woods's (2007) concept of global countryside.

Title: The European Landscape Convention, Wind Power, and the Limits of the Local: Notes from Italy and Sweden
Abstract: The European Landscape Convention is the first international agreement to deal with all aspects of landscape planning, protection, and management. It emphasizes transparency, democracy, and good governance as integral parts of ‘landscape’. The ELC may inspire member states of the Council of Europe to develop better tools for planning land use and the environment; however its utility in practice is still largely untested. This article considers the relevance of the ELC to a major land use conflict in Europe today: the development of wind power. Two countries are used as case studies of this conflict. Italy and Sweden both contain iconic European landscapes, and both have become important sites of large-scale wind power development over the last decade. But the two countries also have divergent political, economic, and institutional traditions. The debate around wind power and landscape has therefore unfolded differently in the two countries. The article consists of three parts. The first part gives an overview of the growth in wind power, and the forms that opposition to wind power have taken, in Italy over the past decade. It is argued that implementation of the ELC's clauses on democratic, locally-based landscape planning process will encounter in Italy a major impediment in the form of political and economic corruption. The second part summarizes the development of wind power as part of the Swedish national energy strategy. Using a case study of a wind power planning process guided by the ELC, it is argued that what appear to be common landscape values in local communities often conceal fundamental conflicts among individuals, groups, and institutions. On the basis of these two cases, the third and concluding part sketches both the potential of the ELC to transform the planning process for wind power, and the real challenges it will face, as a non-binding, ‘global’ agreement, in ‘local’ places with their own histories, traditions, and social actors.

Title: Capitalizing on the Carbon Sequestration Potential of Agroforestry in Germany's Agricultural Landscapes: Realigning the Climate Change Mitigation and Landscape Conservation Agendas
Abstract: The potential of agriculture, forestry, and other land uses to sequester carbon offers a powerful tool for controlling the global climate regime, but practices capable of creating ‘collateral’ benefits for landscape conservation have thus far been disregarded. This paper calls for greater integration of scattered trees into agricultural landscapes, hypothesizing that agroforestry practices effectively store carbon and deliver other important ecosystem services as well. Several agroforests from the Upper Lusatia area in eastern Germany have been selected for analysis. They cover relatively large areas of land (8.2%), even within this intensively used agricultural landscape, and their extent increased from 1964–2008 by 19.4%. Practices of conserving or promoting six agroforest classes are compared with a catalogue of essential properties for becoming effective ‘carbon offset projects’. Criteria from mandatory and voluntary carbon markets for carbon sequestration are then applied (additionality, baselines, permanence, and carbon leakage). The study concludes that steps towards realization of ‘carbon sequestration projects’ should include collecting empirical evidence regarding the carbon sequestration potential of temperate agroforestry systems, developing localized demonstration projects, and upscaling these projects to participate in established carbon markets.

Title: Landscape Democracy in a Globalizing World: The Case of Tange Lake
Abstract: The main topic of the article is the question of landscape democracy in a world where local issues are seldom just local. This topic is treated both in general terms and in relation to one particular case: the artificial Tange Lake in Denmark. The first part narrates the story of Tange Lake. It identifies the most important international drivers that have influenced landscape development in the area directly or indirectly through the actions of a variety of local actors with conflicting conceptions of landscape quality. The variety of drivers, actors and conceptions present at Tange as well as in a great number of similar cases raises questions concerning levels and models of landscape democracy. This is the main theme of the second part. First, three basic democratic values are identified together with three orders or levels of impartiality. Second, the relation between levels of democratic decision-making is discussed with the principle of subsidiarity and the concentric circle theory as guiding lines. In the final section, these general considerations are discussed in relation to the Tange case.

Title: How Do We Accommodate New Land Uses in Traditional Landscapes? Remanence of Landscapes, Resilience of Areas, Resistance of People
Abstract: Faced with the challenge of major changes, it is becoming urgent to consider what makes the specificity and strength of European landscapes, in particular landscapes still fashioned by traditional farming. The central question in this paper—how to accommodate new land uses in traditional landscapes—cannot be approached without reference to some other topical issues that could be identified as driving forces: the development of renewable energies, the spreading of green networks, the maintenance (or return) of sustainable agriculture. The paper's analysis, with examples from Brittany, opens up a certain number of principles which can serve as a guideline in territorial development: acceptable scale of development, adjustment to land resources, and maintenance of multi-functionality, maximum threshold of specialization. This is necessary if we are to better understand, and then implement: an acceptable scale of development, adjustment to land resources, maintenance of multi-functionality. The landscape expertise might then be useful not only for landscape protection and planning, but also to consider broad lines of future development adapted to the ‘sense of place’, thus improving economic, ecological and social values. At a theoretical level, this analysis proposes an approach to territorial dynamics via the interaction of three concepts: resilience of territory, remanence of landscapes and resistance of people.

Title: Landscape identity, before and after a forest fire
Abstract:
Our identity is tied to where we are and how we engage with the landscapes in which we find ourselves. But what happens if the landscape which we use for our everyday life is drastically altered by a catastrophic upheaval, for example, when forest fires ravage the landscape? In this paper, interviews with individuals affected by the largest forest fire in modern Swedish history are used to exemplify our conceptualisation of how landscape identity is impacted by dramatic change. We address the phases of stability, change and progression in relation to the case. Finally, we propose that landscape identity can be utilised as a central concept for engaging with the social aspects of the impact of forest fires.

Title: Connecting landscapes: examining and enhancing the relationship between stakeholder values and cultural landscape management in England
Abstract:
In England’s post-Brexit environment, as the nation’s approach to cultural landscapes is reassessed, understanding what stakeholders value and how they currently engage with landscape management is likely to be increasingly important. This study explores this at a localised scale. Examining the value of an ecosystems services perspective, it focuses on two case-study landscapes in Gloucestershire. Using interviews, focus groups, mapping tasks and questionnaires it examines how stakeholder values intersect with current policies and practices. Based on this analysis, it suggests the need for greater integration and knowledge exchange between stakeholders to ensure the sustainability of landscape management. It suggests new strategies, such as a centralised e-portal of resources, are required to ensure awareness and dialogue between stakeholders. This study is part of a larger European project comparing how the values of stakeholders in heritage landscapes can be better integrated into cultural landscape management.

Title: Assessing landscape preferences: a visual choice experiment in the agricultural region of Märkische Schweiz, Germany
Abstract:
Natural amenities and the aesthetic value of agricultural landscapes are important territorial assets for improving rural tourism and the quality of the living environment. To identify which characteristics shape the visual quality of a landscape, a stated-preference survey was conducted (N = 200) using photorealistic landscape visualisations of four different landscape attributes (point green elements, linear green elements, crop diversity and presence of livestock). We estimated respondents’ preferences for landscape attributes, examined the extent of agreement among respondents and identified socio-economic factors influencing their responses. Results revealed that point elements had the highest general preference. About 70% of respondents preferred diverse and highly structured landscapes, while about 30% of respondents had opposing preferences. Preferences were also found to be dependent on the individual’s sociocultural background, such as their level of education, gender or age. These results can help to improve the multi-objective targeting of policies by including an aesthetic value perspective.

Title: Going out into the field: an experience of the landscape architecture studio incorporating service-learning and participatory design in Taiwan
Abstract:
Landscape architecture education is a newly developed profession in Taiwanese higher education where the studio is the core curriculum. This paper discusses an alternative studio model where students construct their knowledge and skills through service-learning and participatory design in a real-world environment. A case study based on a first-year undergraduate landscape architecture studio using this system is used to explore the practical factors influencing the implementation process and the extent to which they affect the consistency between pedagogical objectives and actual performance. It argues that, although students can feel challenged because of their limited professional competence, multiple roles and adjustments to field-based education, the value of learning through experience can help transform experience into new action.

Title: Are World Heritage concepts of integrity and authenticity lacking in dynamism? A critical approach to Mediterranean autotopic landscapes
Abstract:
This paper examines how contemporary on-going and lively debate on Critical Heritage Studies merges with previous discourses on World Heritage Cultural Landscapes and rural societies. The scholarly approach to authenticity and integrity, and the critical point of static and dynamic approaches to these terms allow the author to challenge previous World Heritage (WH) discourses with a view to obtaining innovative insight into abandoned vernacular landscapes. Two main arguments are thus developed in this study. The first of these is an overview of the dynamics of abandoned cultural landscapes on an international scale. The second is an inside view aiming to provide an accurate interpretation of how these landscapes should be scrutinised and understood. To do this, autotopias and heterotopias broach the fundamental issue of how the Outstanding Universal Value of attributes in abandoned cultural landscapes needs to be understood, enhanced, experienced, and managed in an innovative WH approach. In conclusion, complex proposals for these heritage landscapes should rely on understanding the dynamics of the material and the social construct of the habitats they contain in order to assess them effectively from the standpoint of a World Heritage Cultural Process Assemblage rather than that of Outstanding Material Stratification.

Title: Applicability of European landscape typology in Turkey (Çakırlar Watershed case/Antalya)
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to put forward Turkey as a case study of the applicability of the European approach to landscape characterisation studies at the local scale within the context of the European Landscape Convention. For this purpose, a classification of landscape types with the help of LANMAP typology is suggested at the European scale in a basin in Turkey where there are obvious differences in terms of landscape characteristics. In particular, this study examines the usability of a countrywide thematic database when making this classification. It is understood that a mapping system as well as a common nomenclature of types of land covered at the country scale is insufficient for the suggested methodology for Europe. Later, results of the continuation of a classification system at the local scale for landscape characterisation are discussed, and some deficiencies of LANMAP when characterising the landscapes at this scale are mentioned.

Title: Continuity and discontinuity in the history of upland pastoral landscapes: the case study of Val Molinac and Val Poré (Val di Sole, Trentino, Eastern Italian Alps)
Abstract:
This paper addresses the question of the formation and evolution of upland rural Alpine landscapes. The case study presented here refers to two upland valleys—Val Molinac and Val Poré—located in the Alpine region of Trentino (Italy). Archaeological fieldwork in the area has revealed a complex landscape; the main features of which are dry stone structures (enclosures, huts and rock shelters), mainly related to pastoralism. Archaeological data and documentary sources show that the investigated landscape underwent distinct formative phases or ‘tipping points’—in the fifteenth to sixteenth centuries AD and in the late eighteenth to early nineteenth centuries AD—and suggest that its evolution has neither been gradual nor incremental, as generally assumed. ‘Punctuated equilibrium paradigm’, derived from evolutionary theory, is applied to address the discontinuous evolution of the upland landscapes of Val Molinac and Val Poré, and theoretical implications for the study of rural landscapes are discussed.

Title: Financing the future of green infrastructure planning: alternatives and opportunities in the UK
Abstract:
With the formation of the Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition government in 2010, the funding of local government in the UK changed fundamentally. Through an austerity approach to development, local planning authorities (LPAs) have been required to make significant budgetary savings, raising questions over what services are legally and morally dispensable. One service severely impacted has been green space (green infrastructure) management. In many locations, this has generated negative responses, as the proposed cuts are perceived as decreasing the liveability of urban areas. In response, LPAs are engaging in an examination of how they can manage development to more effectively fund green infrastructure provision. Such debates draw on a range of options from public, private and community funding sources, creating further complexity within LPA financing. To explore these options, this paper discusses the appropriateness of different funding mechanisms proposing a multi-option approach for the long-term management of green infrastructure.

Title: Urbanisation forces on the landscapes and the changing value-systems of Osun Sacred Grove UNESCO Site, Osogbo, Nigeria
Abstract:
The metamorphic process of rapidly changing value-systems and landscapes of the traditional Yoruba city of Osogbo, Nigeria is mainly due to the trio of urbanisation, modernisation and globalisation forces. Through a qualitative analysis of the monarchical periods, the study documents the transformations that have occurred to the value-systems and respective urban landscapes of the city from its grove origin c.1800 to 2015. The aim is to examine the process of urban landscape development with a view to generating a landscape model. Through a monarchical chronology, it accounts for the roles of politics, sociocultural orders, architecture, land use, urban governance, housing and religion in shaping the present urban form. The periods were discovered to have emerged along with four semi-concentric landscape categories including the natural, traditional, modern and post-modern. The study asserts the roles of the monarchical system in landscape heritage conservation and concludes with a landscape prognosis model for the archetypal city, a hub for the Yoruba nation.

Title: Garden and landscape, the spatial and the ethical: the impact of enclosure on an enclosed garden, the case of Artas, Palestine
Abstract:
Garden and landscape are closely associated concepts: both have concrete physical spatial characteristics yet often embody intangible symbolic and poetic dimensions. At the same time, an inherent tension exists between the two: while garden is defined by enclosure, landscapes are not marked by borders. The case of Artas, a Palestinian village that is encroached upon on both sides by external development—an Israeli settlement on the one and a Palestinian refugee camp on the other—is described in this paper through the metaphor of the enclosed garden. The disadvantaged geographic and political predicament of Artas prompts reflections on the ethical dimensions related to landscape and garden in the context of spatial infringement. The discussion is framed within a conceptual multiplicity of the term landscape, the discourse of the Right to Landscape and an exploration of the meaning of borders in terms of landscape.

Title: The blue garden: coastal infrastructure as ecologically enhanced wave-scapes
Abstract:
Hard coastal infrastructure such as breakwaters and seawalls are built according to engineering parameters of structural performance and cost efficiency. Especially in urban settings, they conflict with the diverse needs and values of other users and stakeholders, such as sustaining coastal ecosystem biodiversity and providing the public with open, accessible spaces for socialisation and recreation. The presented research explores how the discipline of landscape design can contribute to their evolution. Building on recent precedents in developing multi-functional, ecologically enhanced seawalls, it proposes the concept of the blue garden, and explores two of its key features: bio-engineering the form and materiality of seawalls to enhance their performance as ecosystem service providers; and utilising computational fluid dynamics to poetically shape sea waves as a visual, aural and tactile landscape material to enhance its social and experiential value. It concludes with a pilot study that implements these principles for a specific urban site.

Title: Place names and landscape character: a case study from Otago Region, New Zealand
Abstract:
Landscape characterisation has become an important tool in the interpretation of the distinctive features, patterns and identity of a region for planning purposes. However, conventional assessment methods that focus upon visual character may overlook some cultural values. This study investigates how toponymy—the analysis of place names—can be undertaken as a contribution to landscape characterisation. The study focus is Otago Region, New Zealand, which has a diverse landscape and a reliable database of place names. The study reported here involves analysis of 696 place names relating to 31 types of landscape feature derived from maps. The majority of names were connected with symbolic historic and cultural associations, mainly people. Biophysical characteristics including landform and hydrological features were also prominent. Names associated with the indigenous culture, Maori, were layered with those from European colonisation. Systematic analysis of place names highlights both presence and displacements of cultural memory and offers potential for an additional rich layer of interpretation in landscape characterisation.

Title: Once in demand, now unwanted: reflections on changed attitudes towards plants introduced to Norway 1750–1900
Abstract:
Among plant species introduced to Norway, several are naturalising and spreading in the landscape in an aggressive way. There is an ongoing debate between professionals in nature management and cultural heritage. Policy-makers have selected the year 1800 as a time delimitation: the use of plant species introduced later is to be regulated or even forbidden. Looking back in history, the perception of the introduction of plants between 1750 and 1900 differs from present attitudes. Introduced plants were once regarded as positive contributions that could be used to demonstrate botanic skills and wealth, as well as garden owners’ skills in cultivating them. At present, many of the plant species that were once desirable are now regarded as threatening ‘aliens’. This article examines changed attitudes towards introduced plants, with an emphasis on the period 1750–1900, when the majority of new plants arrived.

Title: Perception of plant species richness by people with different nationalities—an experimental study
Abstract:
This study investigates with the help of a manipulative experiment how people with different nationalities perceive meadow-like arrays of different species richness (1, 8, 16, 32, 64 species). Participants (n = 187) were all residents of the canton of Zurich and originated from 43 different countries. Overall valuation of the meadow-like arrays increased with species richness. However, while participants from high-income countries (measured by GDP per capita) clearly liked species-rich meadows most and species-poor ones least, participants from low-income countries did not have such clear preferences. Preferences were not related to the length of time a participant had already spent in Switzerland (on average seven years), but to perceived familiarity with a meadow-like array. Sex and education did not influence valuations. Environmental expertise fostered participants’ dislike of species-poor arrays, as did age.

Title: Physical accessibility and its role in landscape development—three historical analyses from South Slovakia
Abstract:
Physical accessibility is recognised as an important driver or factor affecting landscape development in an increasing number of studies. This work uses cost-distance methods for analysis of landscape accessibility, and presents the analysis in three historical time periods focused on the effect of accessibility on landscape development in South Slovakia. First, from periods when the cultural landscape was forming, the effect of landscape accessibility on the location of settlements is given. The variables explaining the location of historical settlements are: slope steepness, accessibility to water expressed by distance to fluvial sediments and distance within 500 m from suitable soils for agriculture. The second example is from the second half of the twentieth century, when the small-scale agricultural landscape was transformed into large-scale fields suitable for industrial agriculture. Agricultural fields located on steeper slopes and closer to settlements were more likely to survive the collectivisation of agriculture. The third example shows accessibility as a factor affecting the abandonment of the remaining traditional agricultural landscapes (TAL) as a consequence of the economic and cultural changes triggered by the transition to an open market economy. The TAL located on less accessible areas are more likely affected by the abandonment.

Title: Psychological park accessibility: a systematic literature review of perceptual components affecting park use
Abstract:
Traditional park accessibility studies relying on physical distance have critical limitations, because proximity alone does not predict park use, and contemporary cities struggle with a land shortage for more parks. Efficient, integrated methods of analysing the psychological dimension to park accessibility are scarce. Thus, this study examines factors constituting psychological park accessibility and measurement methods through a systematic literature review. Findings from the review show that psychological park accessibility stems from the perception of distance, park quality and the neighbourhood environment, which could be measured either quantitatively or qualitatively. The proposed conceptual framework would provide researchers with stronger predictive measurement tools for analysing park accessibility and instead of constructing new parks, planners could devise more effective strategies to improve current park use.

Title: Folk classification as evidence of transformed landscapes and adaptative strategies: a case study in the semiarid region of northeastern Brazil
Abstract:
How do people classify the living world? Solid theoretical and methodological foundations advocate for utilitarian or intellectual strategies. Some authors argue that people tend to classify natural resources that are necessary for their survival. However, in the case of landscapes, we do not know the true criteria that people use to classify their space. We present strong evidence that people name landscapes according to utilitarian (economic) criteria. We also seek to identify which factors and variables explain people’s knowledge about landscapes and how this knowledge can generate information about landscape modifications. This study was conducted in the Brazilian National Forest of Araripe (FLONA Araripe), NE Brazil, with local people who live near this forest. A total of 304 nomenclatural types of landscapes were recounted, and these landscapes were mainly associated with indicators of current or past use. The variables that best explained the knowledge about landscapes were useful species known and the number of categories of use, showing that utilitarian features are strongly associated with local forest classification. Our findings suggest an adaptive strategy in which people name the landscape based on past and current uses, either as a whole or with respect to particular features of certain areas. In addition, we interpret this finding as a mnemonic strategy for optimising the use of the landscape.

Title: The effect of neighbourhood on rodent communities: an example from Pampean agroecosystems
Abstract:
Pampean region agroecosystems are devoted to agricultural and farming activities, but in the crop field matrix there are relicts of remnant natural habitats. Poultry farms mainly harbour commensal species as house mice and rats, which are rarely present in surrounding habitats. We assessed if neighbourhood to poultry farms affect the presence of Mus musculus in crop fields and their borders, and if rodent community in poultry farms is influenced by the species present in surrounding crop fields and borders. We found that habitat had a significant effect on the abundance of M. musculus. This species showed higher abundance in poultry farms than in crop field borders. Calomys laucha was the unique native species that was captured in farm sheds. We found higher abundance of native species in crop field borders than in crop fields independent of the proximity to the poultry farms. We conclude that rodent communities in poultry farms are little influenced by the surroundings, and show a dominance of M. musculus independently of the presence of native rodent species in neighbour habitats. On the other hand, farms do not export M. musculus to surrounding habitats, and borders only function as corridors for dispersal among farms, while crop fields are rarely used.

Title: Price and distributional effects of privately provided open space in urban areas
Abstract:
In recent decades, there has been a noticeable increase in land conservation by the non-governmental sector, supplementing governmental efforts to preserve open spaces and landscapes at the urban–rural fringe. This trend should, according to a prominent urban economics model, have significant effects on urban real estate markets. The effects will vary along the income and home ownership distribution. The model is followed by an empirical investigation of the theoretical predictions using a rich data-set from the counties in the San Francisco Bay Area. The hedonic regressions show that private land conservation has a significant effect on housing prices, but this effect varies between areas with different housing tenure shares. An increase in the share of home renters in a neighbourhood diminishes the effect of land conservation on housing prices, confirming the predictions of the model. The results provide evidence in favour of spatially explicit policies to support conservation efforts.

Title: The cooling effect of green infrastructure on surrounding built environments in a sub-tropical climate: a case study in Taipei metropolis
Abstract:
Green infrastructure that provides cooling service is regarded as a critical urban planning strategy to mitigate urban heat. This study assesses important greenspace and matrix factors that contribute to greenspace cooling effect beyond greenspaces in Taipei metropolis using Landsat 8 satellite imagery. The results indicated that both greenspace and matrix features have jointly affected greenspace cooling intensity, but their cooling contributions to the mean temperature of greenspace and that of surrounding built environments were not necessarily identical or explicit. Larger greenspaces with compact/simple shape, containing more water elements and higher greenness tended to be cooler, whereas higher development intensity, lower tree proportion and fewer water elements in the matrix tended to produce warmer built environments. The influence of these features on temperature outside greenspaces varied by distance. With the distance increasing from greenspaces, the effect of greenspace features dropped and that of matrix features rose.

Title: Inventing modern taste at the Changgyeongwon Botanical Garden
Abstract:
The first public botanical garden of Korea, the Changgyeongwon Botanical Garden, was established for the purpose of promoting ‘taste’ in 1909 during the Japanese colonial period. This paper examines the concept of ‘taste’—‘shumi’ and ‘chwimi’—in order to show how the Changgyeongwon Botanical Garden played a role as a colonial botanical garden in Korea during the early twentieth century. At the end of the Meiji period, the concept of ‘shumi’ to acquire cultural improvement justified the Japanese authorities’ proposal to establish the botanical garden for the purpose of promoting ‘shumi’ and developing Japanese taste in Korea. In early twentieth-century Korea, the concept of ‘chwimi’ to develop knowledge, refinement and virtues, and the discussion on the roles of botanical gardens in improving ‘chwimi’, provided the foundation for the Changgyeongwon Botanical Garden to be acknowledged as a symbol of good taste or popular culture despite its Japanese colonial origin.

Title: Interpreting vernacular space in Ireland: a new sensibility
Abstract:
Performative analysis of the use of landscape strategies in pre-industrial vernacular architecture indicates that there is more design agency involved in the creation of these environments than conventional and historical interpretations would suggest. The development of this interpretation, referred to here as the Utilitarian-Landscape approach, has been described in the Irish architecture media as pioneering because it posits a counter-reading to typological classifications of vernacular architecture. Moreover, it challenges the entrenched scenic understanding of vernacular architecture’s relationship to landscape that underpins rural policymaking in Ireland. However, the limitations—indeed the dangers—of these two expressions of vernacular architecture, the typological and the scenic, have already started to be recognised in much emerging scholarship and practice. This article considers aspects of this scholarship and practice context in light of the Utilitarian-Landscape investigation, and points to a shift in approach to understanding vernacular environments and a new sensibility towards rurality in Ireland.

Title: Transforming landscapes and identities in the south Wales valleys
Abstract:
In contrast to the declining socio-economic legacy of the loss of coalmining and heavy industry, the landscapes of the south Wales valleys have witnessed a remarkable environmental transformation within living memory. Yet an apparent paradox exists between reported community pride in these landscapes with emerging community-led economic initiatives, and seeming indifference towards or disconnection from them. In this paper, we draw upon analysis of qualitative material from two pieces of research in different Valleys’ localities to explore landscape relationships with respect to radical landscape changes, reported disconnections and emergent community-led countryside activities. We consider these in the context of emerging models and notions of landscape identities. We conclude that the changed landscape character in the Valleys is impacting on landscape perceptions, valuation and uses with new existential identities emerging amongst some. Greater insights into evolving landscape identities might inform better land use policy and natural resource management to bring about socio-economic and environmental benefits.

Title: Gardening cyberspace—social media and hybrid spaces in the creation of food citizenship in the Bristol city-region, UK
Abstract:
This paper conducts a detailed analysis of urban food and online networks in Bristol, UK. In particular, it examines social media postings of grass-roots food networks. Qualitative research identifies and analyses five core themes, from which two dominant discourses emerge. Analysis reinforces the multifunctional nature of city food but moves beyond dominant scholarly pre-occupations with nutrition and physical resources. Instead, the paper positions social and symbolic aspects as equal components within the convening power of food. To date, social media has been neglected in urban food research, although this is a space as well-tended and structured as the physical spaces it augments. The paper finds a relationship of limited collaboration between the grass-roots networks and the city council. While the former are dynamic and networked, the council adheres to a linear policy process that limits the scope of citizenship. The relationships examined here indicate implications for urban planning processes.

Title: The affective economies and political force of rural wildness
Abstract:
Although conventionally distinguished from the wilderness, the rural is nevertheless frequently perceived as a site of wildness, both in the sense of the uncultured/uncivilised and in the sense of the natural/authentic. Arguing that the politics of rurality have an important affective dimension that cannot be dismissed as illusionary or neatly separated from supposedly rational assessments, this article explores the affective economies that, in Sara Ahmed’s terms, cause particular feelings and values to become ‘stuck’ to the notion of rural wildness, influencing how it can be mobilised politically. Case studies of how rural wildness is harnessed as a political force in the self-presentation of the Countryside Alliance, a prominent British rural advocacy group, and in the successful 2013 Dutch documentary film The New Wilderness [De nieuwe wildernis] about a rewilding project in the Oostvaardersplassen reveal that, in both instances, the affective economies at play explicitly or implicitly support a conservative politics.

Title: A walk in the long grass: agriculture, aesthetics, and wildness on Hampstead Heath
Abstract:
This article traces a battle over grass mowing and scrub clearance between local campaigners and land managers on London’s Hampstead Heath during the late 1970s. I discuss one of the key arguments in favour of maintaining long grass: its look of ‘naturalness’, which effaced centuries of grazing by sheep and cattle, as well as the extensive land management that went into maintaining this ‘wild’ aesthetic. The 1978 conflict over scrub clearance resulted in a widely reported claim that 20 dead bodies were dumped on the Heath annually. Here, I consider the reality of the claim and the ways in which frictions between local actors point towards a fluid and constantly changing understanding of what is properly ‘wild’ and ‘natural’ on Hampstead Heath. The debate highlights the degree to which both management and historical narratives of public open spaces are the product of complex negotiation.

Title: ‘Something from nothing’—constructing Israeli rurality
Abstract:
This paper analyses the debates regarding native versus non-native plantings in the Israeli kibbutz and their role in the reinvention of the Israeli rural landscape. Based on the assumption that the representation of landscape is always tied to larger questions concerning culture and identity, the genesis of the landscape that has by now become fully naturalised as the new local rural landscape is examined through an analysis of the cultural and ideological roots of its planting design. The Israeli debates reflected the paradox at the heart of a culture that sought to be both ‘new’ and ‘native.’ The ethos of ‘something from nothing’—expressed as the creation of a new green landscape ex nihilo—as well as the advocates for the use of native plants, will be examined in relation to their respective constructions of a landscape narrative.

Title: Landscape of time and immobility
Abstract:
This paper sheds a light on the ephemeral landscape of Palestine. Under a deliberate process of ‘erasing, peeling, cutting and pasting’, the physical and mental maps of Palestine today are rapidly changing with the Palestinians being pushed out of the scene. This colonial project has been best represented by Sari Hanafi as ‘spacio-cidal’ as it targets the landscape and consequently the narrative of those who shape it.Stemming from the need for an alternative discourse to narrate and redraw the map from a local lens, I use the village of Beit Iksa as an example to portray the spatial restructuring of the landscape. I show how ‘greening’ casts a shadow on the Israeli colonial strategies that lie beneath to alienate and ‘reinvent’ the rural scene. And yet, because for every strategy of control there is a tactic to resist, I show how through spatial interventions, I tried to rethink the rural and challenge its ideological transformation into a void; a leftover landscape shaped by time and immobility and yet is loaded with spatial potentials and open to change.

Title: Contested landscapes: territorial conflicts and the production of different ruralities in Brazil
Abstract:
From the perspective of Brazilian agrarian geography, the conflicts generated by land tenure disputes have as protagonists the families of the Landless Workers’ Movement (Movimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais Sem Terra), traditional landowners, and agribusiness corporations. In this article, we present a reflection on land conflicts and the spatial and territorial production of latifundia, peasant smallholders, and large-scale agribusiness through studies of the landscapes of two municipalities in the state of São Paulo. Among the various tools for analysing territorial disputes, Google Earth can be used for local, regional, and international comparative studies of how landscapes have been transformed. Informed by traditional research, the article analyses a diversity of photographs, from satellite to field shots, as evidence of landscapes that express conflicting social relations in disputes over different models of social and territorial development.

Title: Everyday green space and experienced well-being: the significance of wildlife encounters
Abstract:
A broad and growing evidence base suggests the potential for time spent in natural environments to promote human health and well-being. Whilst evidence of such benefits is rapidly accumulating, we still know relatively little about the role of wildlife encounters in shaping the well-being potential of people’s routine green/blue space interactions, particularly amongst non-specialists. This article addresses this conceptual gap, drawing on the findings of a three-stage, qualitative, interpretive study which sought to understand and situate people’s natural environment well-being experiences within their everyday lives. Wildlife encounters were emphasised by study participants in the context of four types of well-being experience: social, immersive, symbolic and achievement oriented. These are explored within this paper, before discussing the influence of past experiences and current life circumstances on participants’ wildlife relationships. Consideration is also given to how environmental managers might focus activity and investment to balance opportunities for such wildlife experiences with the ongoing priorities of delivering socially inclusive, ecologically rich and climate change-resilient green spaces.

Title: ‘This is not the jungle, this is my barbecho’: semantics of ethnoecological landscape categories in the Bolivian Amazon
Abstract:
Through a case study with Spanish-speaking Takana indigenous people in the Bolivian Amazon, we explored ethnoecological landscape categories, including their ecological underpinnings, cultural significance and hierarchical organisation. Using field walks and interviews with consultants, we elicited 156 ethnoecological landscape categories, 60 of which related to vegetation types. However, sorting exercises with landscape photographs revealed that vegetation was not a guiding organisation principle. Takana consultants organised ethnoecological landscape categories into geographical regions that contained different landscape features, including vegetation units, topographical or hydrological features. Comparing the documented ethnoecological landscape categorisation with a published scientific botanical classification of vegetation units, we observed some important conceptual differences, which in turn have implications for the management of such landscapes.

Title: Botanical relics of a lost landscape: herborising ‘upon the Cliffs about the Pharos’ in Genoa, March 1664
Abstract:
This paper uses approaches derived from historical ecology to show how knowledge can be gained about the historical and cultural value of neglected urban landscapes. We study the area around Genoa’s lighthouse and consider the long-term survival of individual plant species and some implications for landscape conservation. We examine topographical representations over the last 500 years to establish the landscape context of the lighthouse. We then analyse the records of plants collected by two English naturalists of the seventeenth century, John Ray and Francis Willughby, and demonstrate how the plants were identified and documented. We survey the current vegetation to establish whether any species identified in 1664 still grow at the site. This exploration of botanical ancestry at a local scale makes it possible to demonstrate cultural–historical values of the lighthouse rocks and their vegetation which should be considered as part of the cultural heritage of the city of Genoa.

Title: Past anthropogenic changes in the lake ecosystems of late glacial landscapes in north-eastern Poland
Abstract:
Damage to water resources and lake ecosystems can be attributed to rapid economic development and urban expansion in recent decades, but the current state of our environment is also influenced by processes in the more distant past. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of lake drainage programmes in north-eastern Poland from the second half of the nineteenth century. Few studies of landscape transformation in the region deal with the loss of lakes resulting from land reclamation in the nineteenth century, despite its significant impact on water resources. During that period a total of 143 lakes were drained in the Olsztyn Lakeland. By 1914 only 3% of the original lakes remained. Today, the majority of drained lakes are sites of marginal importance to the natural environment or the economy. Drained lakes can be reclaimed and transformed into water retention reservoirs to enhance the local landscape.

Title: Integrated and decentralised protection and development of mountain landscapes
Abstract:
This article discusses how new trends for decentralised and integrated protection and local development of mountain landscapes have appeared in recent management practice, and how decentralised protection and management models could contribute to integrated and dynamic local development practice. Case studies performed on two larger protected areas and two regional parks based on local initiatives and agreements show that the two trends are quite visible in Norwegian mountain landscape management, but only to a certain extent. Our suggestions for promoting these trends are to consider: (1) revising the protected area regulations managed by the nature protection authorities to also include local development as a specific purpose; (2) transferring the protected area responsibility to the land use planning authorities; and (3) using regional parks as a framework for integrated and decentralised development within the existing restrictions and possibilities.

Title: Changes in the location and function of small water bodies in the upper Sanna River catchment—case study (SE Poland)
Abstract:
The article summarises the results of analyses of temporal and spatial changes in the location of small water bodies in the upper Sanna River catchment between the fifteenth and twenty-first centuries. The investigations were conducted on historical sources and cartographic data using GIS tools and inventory files. Natural (location of springs, groundwater depth, geomorphology of valleys), anthropogenic factors (quarries, excavations) and historical determinants of construction of the water reservoirs are presented. Additionally, changes in the economic (fish farming, mills), defence and industrial (paper and steel mills, bloomeries, fulleries) functions of the water bodies have been analysed. The changes in the functions of the water bodies were often influenced by the changing ownership. The results have application significance on a local and regional scale.

Title: Landscape, heritage and technological innovation: towards a framework of sustainability of cultural landscape in a desert town in India
Abstract:
Landscape heritage and Landscape justice are recent concepts in landscape studies. Landscape heritage speaks about listening to multiple voices in decision-making on landscape and heritage, especially listening to non-experts, and indigenous voices. Landscape justice is about ensuring equal access to natural resources/natural landscape. The study is based on Jaisalmer, a desert town with the only living fort in Asia, located in Thar Desert at the India–Pakistan border. The study proposes a conceptual framework on the sustainability of cultural landscape that is used to reflect peoples’ livelihood around (lack of access to) water. The framework identifies three main dimensions: the shifting natural landscape, unrecognised critical (tangible and intangible) heritage and challenges with water post-Indira Gandhi Canal project, a central government intervention for desert greening.

Title: Exploring the concept of green infrastructure in urban landscape. Experiences from Italy, Canada and Finland
Abstract:
Several disciplines, such as landscape architecture, species conservation and water management, have contributed to the advancement of knowledge of Green Infrastructure (GI). However, doubts remain on the best approach to embed the concept of GI and related components in planning policies and practice. This paper presents a literature review of the scientific and policy frameworks of GI as well as the knowledge gap that exists between academics and practitioners. Furthermore, a discourse analysis of planning documents was conducted in the metropolitan regions of Milan, Montreal and Helsinki. The three metropolitan regions are challenging new forms of cooperation between academics and practitioners. The results show that while studies on GI are used to support planning strategies, they struggle to address spatial, landscape and environmental issues at the local scale. Closer interdisciplinary cooperation between academics, as well as between academics and practitioners, can help to find new approaches to urban landscape.

Title: Perceptions and social valuations of landscape. Objectives and methodology for citizen participation in landscape policies
Abstract:
Since the approval of the European Landscape Convention, social perception has been accepted as one of landscape’s defining components and, therefore, any strategy for its planning, protection or management has to be in possession of knowledge produced by citizen participation procedures. The Convention did not formally state what these procedures are and no methodology has been agreed upon for guaranteeing their inclusion in landscape analysis and praxis. This article puts forward a methodological proposal to this end that has been designed, tested and put into practice in the compiling of the Landscape Catalogue of the Province of Seville (Andalusia, Spain). Arguments put forward to support the methodological choices made are evaluated with the aim that this proposal might be of use for other initiatives to create a theoretical and practical corpus for social participation in landscape policies.

Title: Green space context and vegetation complexity shape people’s preferences for urban public parks and residential gardens
Abstract:
Landscape preferences shape decision-making and drive the ecological outcomes of urban landscapes. We investigate how people’s landscape preferences are shaped by the green space context (public park vs private residential garden landscapes) and by physical features such as vegetation complexity. A postal questionnaire was sent to households near seven urban parks in Melbourne, Australia. Results showed that landscapes were grouped into four categories based on patterns of preference response. Landscapes with moderate vegetation complexity were placed in separate categories distinguished by green space context (parks vs gardens), while very simple and very complex landscapes were placed in different categories irrespective of green space context. Surprisingly, dense vegetation was highly preferred by respondents. As areas of dense vegetation also provide complex habitats for wildlife, this highlights the possibility of developing policies and designing landscapes that can benefit both people and nature.

Title: How does spatial organisation of gardens at care facilities for the elderly influence use patterns: a case study in Hong Kong
Abstract:
Ageing has received broad attention worldwide. Gardens for the elderly have also received increasing attention as they have been revealed to be beneficial to the elderly’s well-being and quality of life. Based on existing design guidelines for such gardens, the influence of different spatial organisation on use patterns needs further study and discussion. In this article, one garden at a care facility for the elderly was studied through total site factor measurement, resident and staff interviews, along with observations. As indicated by the results and discussions, topographic level changes are found to be more influential than distance and shade. Enclosure of space is also influential on the pattern of use, but needs to be applied carefully for safety concerns. Management is also found to be a flexible and cost-effective approach to modify spatial organisation and further alter use patterns in the garden.

Title: The meaning of participation in school ground greening: a study from project to everyday setting
Abstract:
School ground greening has many acknowledged benefits for play, learning and health, but less is known about the outcomes of such projects from children’s perspectives. This study aims to investigate the process, and children’s participation, at two Swedish schools over four years of planning, planting, management and maintenance, using short interviews and observations. There was a large general interest among the children to participate in the development and maintenance of their school grounds, but different participatory and pedagogical approaches were used. The participation of children in the planning stage appears to be of specific importance for the functionality of school grounds, while long-term participation in management and maintenance can affect children’s experiences from, and perspectives on, greening areas and projects positively over time. The results point to the large impact that greening projects with continuity in participation can have on children’s activity and meaning-making.

Title: The emergence of green infrastructure as promoting the centralisation of a landscape perspective in spatial planning—the case of Ireland
Abstract:
The ‘landscape’ approach to planning and design has long since advanced a social–ecological perspective that conceives ecosystems health and human well-being as mutually constitutive. However, conventional public sector organisational arrangements segregate and discretely administer development issues, thereby militating against the holistic viewpoint necessary to redress the entwined nature of complex planning issues. The emergence and continuing evolution of green infrastructure (GI) thinking seeks to redress this problem by promoting interdisciplinary collaboration to deliver connected and functionally integrated environments. This paper reflects upon the ongoing development and institutionalisation of GI in Ireland as a means to critically evaluate ‘if’, ‘why’ and ‘how’ GI thinking promotes the centralisation of landscape principles in public sector planning. Drawing on a review of local authority practices and interviews with local authority officials, the paper traces and explains the concept’s growth from the ‘rebranding’ of ecological networks to its current manifestation as a new mode of collaborative planning for multifunctional environments. This material is then employed to discuss the potential benefits and barriers encountered by GI planning more generally. Lessons are subsequently extrapolated for the advancement of landscape principles through innovative GI planning practices in other jurisdictions.

Title: Urban green infrastructure and urban forests: a case study of the Metropolitan Area of Milan
Abstract:
Rapid expansion of urban built-up areas since the 1950s has led to the Milan region becoming one of the major metropolitan areas of Europe. This has been accompanied by significant structural changes to urban and peri-urban landscapes and fragmentation of formerly contiguous green corridors by the distribution of new urban forms such as housing and transport infrastructure. The need to address the loss of green space was first recognised by policy-makers at the end of the 1970s and in due course, this has led to new policies and laws. These policies included the introduction of the Milan metropolitan parks approach that, nowadays, is represented by numerous urban forests that have become the backbone of green infrastructure (GI) creation and management. In the last decades, a total of 10 000 hectares of new forests and green systems have been created. Boscoincittà and Parco Nord Milano are the best known examples of this approach aimed to redevelop the neighbourhoods of some suburbs of Milan to create multifunctional green spaces (forests, grasslands, wetlands, river corridor, and allotment gardens) in lands previously industrial or uncultivated. The creation and management of urban forests has become the backbone of GI creation and management in the Metropolitan Area of Milan. In recent decades, trends of land use change have been characterised by a rapid decrease in natural and agricultural areas and an increase in artificial and urban structures. Although the phenomenon is growing rapidly in this area, there is evidence of an opposite social and environmental trend highlighting the importance of GI positively affecting urban quality of life. Recent policies and management plans are dealing with this evidence by turning their attention to expanding green areas and infrastructure. The purpose of our investigation is to revisit effective measures designed to increase the quality and quantity of UGI in the metropolitan region under study. To this end, we assessed land use changes and described the potentialities and impacts of policies on such phenomena. The study analyses the main elements of UGI in the Italian context within the framework of the European Union Life + project called Emonfur, a research programme involving, inter alia, the establishment of an Urban Forest inventory and impact analysis of ecosystem services in the Metropolitan Area of Milan. Our research has allowed us to determine the current status of key sites by monitoring the policy and planning decisions that resulted in their development. We believe that such an analysis can pave the way to understand future land-use dynamics not only in northern Italy but in other metropolitan territories as well.

Title: Can we face the challenge: how to implement a theoretical concept of green infrastructure into planning practice? Warsaw case study
Abstract:
While green infrastructure (GI) is now a widely referenced concept, in Poland it is still only discussed among academics and has yet to be implemented. In 2013, the EC recommended that Member States promote the implementation of GI approaches. In recent decades, ecological discourse has dominated Polish cities’ planning practice. In Warsaw, this discourse has evolved into the formation of the Warsaw Natural System (WNS) concept. This study examines means of transforming the WNS, which is strictly related to ecological discourse, into a Warsaw Green Infrastructure (WGI). In doing so, we utilise basic principles of GI, namely: integration, multifunctionality, connectivity, and multi-scale and multi-object approaches. The authors expose the main challenges associated with utilising the WNS concept as a point of departure for WGI implementation.

Title: Siting green stormwater infrastructure in a neighbourhood to maximise secondary benefits: lessons learned from a pilot project
Abstract:
When siting green stormwater infrastructure (GSI), cities do not respond only to technical and regulatory requirements; they also strive to maximise environmental, aesthetic and social benefits. To help cities optimise the siting of GSI in the context of climate change, we developed a participatory decision support tool. Applied to a neighbourhood, this tool identified only a few sites where GSI would yield all secondary benefits and reduce climate change vulnerability. In the light of the need for large-scale implementation of GSI in cities, this finding raises the following questions: How can the potential benefits provided by a site be best identified? Are there potential synergies or antagonisms between benefits? How do they relate to vulnerability? Can a participatory decision-making process involving local stakeholders improve this process? Informed by the existing literature on balancing ecosystem services and vulnerability, these questions are addressed within a broader perspective of landscape design and urban planning.

Title: Italian stone pine forests under Rome’s siege: learning from the past to protect their future
Abstract:
Italian stone pine is a landmark of Mediterranean coastal areas. Today, pinewoods represent environmental amenity areas at risk, being under siege from intensive urbanisation. We present an emblematic case study in Rome’s coastal strip where urban encroachment around pinewoods is somewhat overlooked by urban planning, which may be threatening for their conservation. We studied: (i) changes in land use intensification in the pinewoods’ surroundings over the past 60 years (1949–2008), by means of a synthetic index of landscape conservation (ILC) ranging from 0 (maximum level of anthropogenic landscape alteration) to 1 (maximum level of landscape naturalness); (ii) influence of different landscape protection level on land use intensification. Findings show that in areas with low levels of landscape protection, the ILC had been decreasing in the first 100-m surrounding pinewoods, and within the 1-km buffer. The ILC had been rather stable within areas with high levels of landscape protection. Lessons learnt have implications for spatial development strategies to protect coastal pinewoods from external pressures due to future (planned) urban densification in their surroundings.

Title: Defining community-scale green infrastructure
Abstract:
Over the last 15 years, we have seen green infrastructure planning develop and refine its focus. The observable shift is from a focus on what, to why and more recently, how we deliver green infrastructure. In the urban context, there is often an emphasis on the capacity of strategic level projects to deliver the plurality of functions and benefits we have come to expect from our towns and cities. However, PhD research conducted at the University of Liverpool brings into focus the potential for small scale green infrastructure sites to respond to green infrastructure needs. As such a new concept of community-scale green infrastructure is introduced to describe activity at the local level. With reference to examples from research in The Mersey Forest Community Forest area of the north-west of England, community-scale green infrastructure is understood as a network of groups and projects who aim to deliver locally relevant functions and benefits to respond effectively to changing social and environmental needs.

Title: Common economic oversights in green infrastructure valuation
Abstract:
Valuation toolkits are supposed to make the valuation of green infrastructure benefits a more simple and accessible task, but there are many barriers which stand in the way of them achieving this. This paper discusses some common economic oversights, associated with double counting, distinct types of value and additionality, which valuation toolkits must avoid to ensure their output is dependable. From this discussion, guidance emerges to help users of valuation toolkits interpret valuation estimates in a meaningful way, and it is concluded that with a good awareness of environmental economic principles, the majority of common issues can be avoided. This conclusion, however, raises the question as to just how accessible a process as complex as green infrastructure valuation can be made to be and places emphasis on the role of toolkit developers who must endeavour to remove as much ambiguity as possible from their methodologies.

Title: Vineyard landscapes in Italy: cases of territorial requalification and governance strategies
Abstract:
The success of a food product is also the success of the territory that produced it. Based on this idea, we address the connection between landscape and quality wine in order to promote new sustainable development of rural territories. We use regulatory plans for ‘Wine Cities’ of Bomporto, Pramaggiore and San Martino sulla Marrucina (Italy) to highlight the ability of new urban-planning instruments to deal with different aspects relating to quality food and agriculture. The goal of the plans is to improve and renew the rural territory. Based on the Wine City Guidelines, the local urban plans for these towns provide useful indications, suggestions and rules for territorial improvement and transformation by way of enhancing the rural landscape and quality wine production. In promoting this new type of development, these plans encourage the direct involvement of local communities and manufacturing companies in sharing and promoting common objectives and development strategies.

Title: Tourism development in agricultural landscapes: the case of the Atherton Tablelands, Australia
Abstract:
This paper demonstrates how the landscape is an integral component in the development of tourism experiences in agricultural regions. It proposes that agricultural landscapes are composed of three components: naturescape, farmscape and culturescape. Building on the tourist gaze, this research demonstrates how tourists can move from viewing the landscape to engaging with it. A case study of the Atherton Tablelands, located in the Wet Tropics region of Australia, was conducted using content analysis and field observations. The results show that the development of activities within the culturescape enables tourists to engage with the agricultural landscape. This finding has important implications for the farmscape, where agricultural resources (produce) are often used in the creation of memorable tourism experiences in agricultural regions.

Title: Landscapes in transition: an analysis of sustainable policy initiatives and emerging corporate commitments in the palm oil industry
Abstract:
The recent Southeast Asian haze crisis has generated intense public scrutiny over the rate, methods and types of landscape change in the tropics. Debate has centred on the environmental impacts of large-scale agricultural expansion, particularly the associated loss of high carbon stock forest and forests of high conservation value. Focusing on palm oil—a versatile food crop and source of bioenergy—this paper analyses national, international and corporate policy initiatives in order to clarify the current and future direction of oil palm expansion in Malaysia and Indonesia. The policies of ‘zero burn’, ‘no deforestation’ and ‘no planting on peatlands’ are given particular emphasis in the paper. The landscape implications of corporate commitments are analysed to determine the amount of land, land types and geographies that could be affected in the future. The paper concludes by identifying key questions related to the further study of sustainable land use policy and practice.

Title: Identity, food and landscape character in the urban context
Abstract:
Urban landscape character has been influenced by the evolving interactions between people and their lifestyles, food and city form. Concerns of urban populations about food production and consumption issues have led to a greater awareness of our links with food and how our food choices influence lifestyles. Consumer literature commonly categorises consumer types or identities, while the landscape literature similarly categorises landscapes through the production of typologies and character areas. In an examination of concept, this paper identifies and examines urban ‘foodscape’ character typologies where the interaction between people and food has a strong influence on the form, function and character of the present landscape. It draws on literature across a range of disciplines and uses an examination of the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK to suggest a typology which reveals seven foodscape character types which are described and discussed.

Title: Productive potential: evaluating residential urban agriculture
Abstract:
Sustainability as a topic in landscape architecture addresses a cross section of environmental and social needs. While transportation alternatives, water quality and air quality are common considerations in sustainable urban development metrics, food provisioning seldom is. This research examines one potential variable determined by environmental designers that can play a critical role in supporting a sustainable food system: residential urban agriculture or the potential to produce food within a residential lot considering existing lot size and configuration. This study evaluates the potential for existing residential lots to provide for the caloric needs of residents in four case study communities within the San Francisco Bay Area and defines a new metric for evaluating a community’s relative productive potential.

Title: The landscape of urban agriculture in California’s capital
Abstract:
The popularity of urban agriculture in numerous California cities has begun to escalate; however, Sacramento has been slower to address this growing interest. Sacramento serves as a significant case study in examining the relationship between community and municipal efforts to promote urban agriculture, given its role as an agricultural and political centre for the state. Three veins of inquiry investigate the landscape of urban agricultural practice in Sacramento: first, past and present urban agricultural projects and advocacy within the city are detailed, offering a narrative of urban agriculture’s role within Sacramento’s development. Second, city and state policies that have both promoted and prevented the practice within the city are examined. Finally, the authors investigate the potential for strategies and plans for the future of urban agriculture in Sacramento. The authors conclude that community interest is out-pacing local policies, and city-wide initiatives might improve efforts at increasing opportunities for new projects.

Title: The ecology of alternative food landscapes: a framework for assessing the ecology of alternative food networks and its implications for sustainability
Abstract:
The vast majority of research on alternative food networks (AFNs), such as farmer’s markets (FMs) and farm shares, examines the social and economic aspects of these networks with relatively little consideration of the ecology of AFNs despite frequent claims of environmental sustainability and beneficence. This is especially true at scales beyond that of the farm or field and in modes of production that fall outside the bounds of the organic/conventional paradigm. This article seeks to address these lacunae and construct a framework for exploring the ecology of AFN landscapes through the review and synthesis of scholarship in landscape ecology and related fields. This framework is then applied to a case study of the Greenmarket FMs in New York City, USA, to highlight the challenges of assessing the ecology of AFNs and the opportunities this research offers for improving the sustainability of AFNs.

Title: “Growing foods from home”: food production, migrants and the changing cultural landscapes of gardens and allotments
Abstract:
The study arises out of research that explored how migrant identities are constructed in relation to food practices in a Northern city. Using narrative accounts and participant observation collected through a small-scale qualitative study, we examine how, in using gardens and allotments to “grow foods from home” alongside locally established fruit and vegetables, a landscape approach allows us to see how migrant gardeners are reshaping existing cultural landscapes and constructing places of belonging. Whilst these landscapes can be viewed visually as representations of both traditional and hybrid practices, the study draws on non-representational theories in landscape to explore emotions, embodiment, performance and practice. Such an approach uncovers some of the differences in the meaning of food production for diasporic and non-diasporic migrant gardeners.

Title: Greenway Planning Context in Istanbul-Haliç: A Compulsory Intervention into the Historical Green Corridors of Golden Horn
Abstract: In the last two decades, planners and landscape architects have been concerned with the open space planning concept called ‘greenway planning’. This approach aims at nature protection that balances both conservation and growth, creating livable environments and maintaining open spaces. In Istanbul, the functional and spatial connectivity of greenways can protect the local landscape against urbanization and population growth problems. This study aimed to emphasize the natural and cultural heritage in an ecologically based planning approach. After taking into consideration the current greenway planning process in Europe and America, a planning strategy was determined for Haliç reflecting all characteristics of Istanbul and possibly representing the first greenway example in the city. Haliç was degraded by industrialization, urbanization, migration and inappropriate land use plans through the ages and existing greenway corridors had disappeared. As a result, current greenway planning strategies were foreseen as a solution to prevent threats to heritage and re-emphasize the lost identity of Haliç. It was emphasized as the starting point of a greenway plan that could be applied for Istanbul in general.

Title: Turning a Deaf Ear: Acoustic Value in the Assessment of Heritage Landscapes
Abstract: Aesthetic value is one of the fundamental criteria used to determine the cultural heritage significance of important places. In Australia, however, cultural heritage has had only a limited engagement with theories on aesthetics, and as a result, no practical methodology has been developed to identify, describe and assess the acoustic dimension of aesthetic value. This paper critiques the literature on aesthetics that cultural heritage has focused on to date, highlighting its emphasis on the visual qualities of place over other multi-sensory understandings. Recent research into acoustics, particularly based on the concept of the soundscape, is explored in order to develop a qualitative methodology to assist heritage practitioners and others in understanding, describing and evaluating the acoustics of place. The applicability of this approach is demonstrated through the analysis of two cultural landscapes in the south-west of Western Australia.

Title: How Useful are the Concepts of Erasure, Origination, Transformation and Migration in Teaching?
Abstract: The concept of landscape urbanism favours an open-ended approach to landscape design. It questions the use of traditional methods of teaching design, which have, it argues, led to fixed landscape architectural solutions. A student project was developed, whose aim was to assess the educational value of such an approach to fieldwork within this theoretical debate. It used an open-ended, randomised and dynamic method to understand existing conditions and speculate about future landscapes. The quality of the educational experience and outcome was investigated using questionnaire and SWOT analysis. The fieldwork method chosen was based on the concepts of erasure, origination, transformation and migration. Findings showed that the randomisation of sites visited enabled a different set of analytical constructs to be established, which might otherwise have remained obscured by traditional preconceptions about the landscape. However, some students found the vocabulary of erasure, origination, transformation and migration (EOTM) to be confusing, repetitive and overlapping. They also had difficulty in recognising that the processes of EOTM can occur simultaneously. Whilst they linked the method with some visual explorations, it proved more difficult to relate to the vocabulary and methods of conventional landscape character analysis. The study concluded that the method was applicable at a landscape planning scale and in a variety of development scenarios. It also proved successful in engendering active group discussion and engagement, which could provide a model for real life consultation. However, to be fully effective, process led and student-centred methods of teaching design should be used earlier in students' development in the design studio and related to other ways of understanding landscape.

Title: Landscape Representation Validity: A Comparison between On-site Observations and Photographs with Different Angles of View
Abstract: Some concern about the representation validity of photographs in visual landscape assessments has been expressed in literature. Mostly, studies consider one type of representation, using the mean ratings for only one preference variable, often scenic quality. Here, validity coefficients are calculated using several landscape preference variables. Three types of stimuli are compared: the in situ landscape, panoramic and standard normal photographs. Landscape vistas were evaluated on site during field excursions. The same scenes were represented as wide angle photographs and standard normal photographs in two other questionnaires. For half of the variables measured no difference in validity could be established between the stimulus types. Standard normal photographs appeared to be more suitable for measuring certain variables. The results demonstrated that both the preference variable being measured and the landscape being evaluated can determine the type of stimulus that is most appropriate to use in questionnaires on landscape assessment.

Title: Perspectives on Landscape Identity: A Conceptual Challenge
Abstract: The concept of landscape identity is often referred to in landscape policy and planning. A clear definition of the concept is lacking however. This is problematic because the term ‘landscape identity’ can have many different meanings and thus easily lead to confusion. We define landscape identity as ‘the perceived uniqueness of a place’ and endeavour to describe the content of this definition more concisely. Within this context the paper introduces the framework of the Landscape Identity Circle for the various dimensions of landscape identity based on two axes: differentiation between spatial as opposed to existential identity, and differentiation between personal and cultural landscape identity. This framework is valuable in positioning research approaches and disciplines addressing landscape identity.

Title: Trajectory Analysis of Forest Cover Change in the Tropical Dry Forest of Burkina Faso, West Africa
Abstract: Forest cover decline is one of the most important environmental issues in the tropics. The present study was carried out in Burkina Faso, West Africa, and aimed at assessing the trajectories of forest cover change and measuring landscape metrics of the trajectory classes in order to better understand the processes of change. Landsat and ASTER images acquired over a period of 30 years were used for cover change detection and the Fragstats package was used to compute landscape metrics with five unifying change classes. Results showed a substantial increase in cropland with concurrent decline in forest cover. Deforestation represented 63% of the Percentage of Landscape (PLAND) in 2006, while reforestation accounted for only 28%. Both of these classes had high Normalized Landscape Shape Index (NLSI) values, indicating that they were present as scattered small patches. The old cultivation (30-year permanent cropland) was aggregated (IJI ≈ 0) while deforestation exhibited highly interspersed patches. The old forest and old cultivation presented lower Area Weighted Fractal Dimension Index (FRAC_AM), but deforestation and reforestation had the higher FRAC_AM. These results confirmed that there was a high level of deforestation and fragmentation in southern Burkina Faso and justify the need for a proper management plan to ensure the sustainable use of forest resources.

Title: Making the single city: the constitutive landscape and the struggle for ‘Greater Boston,’ 1891–1911
Abstract:
While historical studies of urbanisation tend to focus on the morphological and social changes of cities in transition, the very ontological status of the city itself can be historically located as an emergence dependent on specific political, cultural and technical conditions. This essay examines the attempt to create a single ‘Greater Boston’ entity at the end of the nineteenth century in response to forces which were ostensibly linking the separate communities of Massachusetts Bay together into a single whole. Using statistical methods, representational techniques, environmental transformation and appeals to community solidarity in order to make their case for the ‘real’ status of an enlarged Boston, this movement sheds light on how the limits of the ‘single’ city are historically contested. This essay argues against radical critiques of spatial boundedness and advances a theory of the ‘constitutive landscape’ which emphasises the way in which bounded, unitary geographic entities are historically made.

Title: Contested periurban amenity landscapes: changing waterfront ‘countryside ideals’ in central Canada
Abstract:
Periurban second homes have received limited attention in landscape research, but they can offer important insight for landscape histories of urbanisation. This paper focuses on the hundreds of thousands of waterfront ‘cottages’ or ‘chalets’ found in central Canada’s densely-populated Toronto-Montréal urban corridor. A review of scholarly work examines how wide swaths of forest have become periurban amenity landscapes over the last 150 years. An interwoven theoretical narrative centres on the ‘countryside ideal’—an enduring concept linking Anglo-American attitudes about nature and culture with context-specific assemblages of landscape, urban form, and social practice. Finally, a critical discussion highlights how these periurban amenity landscapes have become increasingly contested, taking stock of new clashes between rapid processes of landscape transformation now underway and the broader Anglo-American images, representations, and material cultures expressing what nature is (or ought to be).

Title: A relational approach to landscape and urbanism: the view from an exclusive suburb
Abstract:
This paper promotes a relational (that is, dialectical view) of landscape urbanism through the examination of an exclusive, racialised Northern California suburb as it has developed in relationship to—and cocooned itself from the problems and disamenities of—the broader urban region. Through the case of the wealthy, mostly white town of Moraga, it suggests that landscape studies must be attentive to the larger regional dynamics that produce and reproduce specific places. The argument is both intellectual and political: to the degree that the recent turn to discourses of and practices concerning ‘the right to landscape’ are inattentive to how landscapes are produced, unjustly, through their regional others, then to that degree the right to landscape threatens to reproduce injustice, not overcome it. Thus, the paper argues that any discourse and struggle for the right to landscape must be conjoined with a struggle for the right to the city. It suggests that the right question to ask of the landscape is not so much ‘whose landscape’ (as much work on the right to landscape has it), but ‘landscape for whom.’

Title: Resistant actors, resistant landscapes? A historical political ecology of a forested conservation object in exurban southeastern Pennsylvania
Abstract:
Exurban political ecologists (ExPE) are interested in landscape contestations, particularly where material–cultural entanglements play out through land-use decision-making processes. ExPE research highlights the role in-migrants and long-time residents play in the balance between conservation and development of landscapes, often highlighting informal and formal advocacy that shapes specific outcomes. These entanglements often appear to hinge on attempts to integrate conservation science into planning. Drawing on a case from south-eastern Pennsylvania, USA, this article examines the ways that exurban actors, histories of land-use and in-migration and county planning practice produce place-specific conservation objects. Success here derives from realising long-standing landowner desires through social intervention, rather than implementation of science-informed planning. This case demonstrates the role of geologically distinctive landforms in exurban advocacy, which enable a particular landscape history of urbanisation in Metropolitan Philadelphia.

Title: Whose landscape, whose heritage? Landscape politics of ‘swiftlet farming’ in a World Heritage City
Abstract:
To date, little attention has been paid to critical intersections between urban heritage and landscape change. This paper examines this relationship through the case of urban ‘swiftlet farming’ in the UNESCO World Heritage city of George Town, Penang, Malaysia, which over the past 10 years has been transformed by the phenomenon. However, the industry has been fiercely resisted due to many issues, most notably for its alleged irreversible damage to the (in)tangible heritage of George Town and its abundance of pre-war heritage shophouses. Yet on the other hand, swiftlet farmers, have sought to legitimise their right to the city by arguing that swiftlets and the harvesting of their nests are in fact an integral part of Penang’s cultural, economic and natural heritage. In digging into these controversies, this paper focuses on the circulating discourses around ideas of what constitutes ‘heritage’, and ‘appropriate’ uses of urban space.

Title: Landscape change in the terraces of Ollantaytambo, Peru: an emergent mountain landscape between the urban, rural and protected area
Abstract:
2¯$ \bar{2} $Landscape change increasingly reaches mountain rural areas. In the Andes, human occupation is challenging the traditional categories of urban and rural. The landscape of the Archaeological Park of Ollantaytambo, in the Peruvian Andes, has been shaped by agropastoral cultures, which earned its recognition as part of the Main Inca Road/Qhapaq Ñan World Heritage site. Here, landscape change is also contingent on regulations on heritage protection and socio-economic factors resulting from increased tourism. Using a qualitative approach, this study is based on text analysis of data collected through fieldwork, including open-ended semistructured interviews, official documents and field observation. I use Augustin Berque’s concept of landscape to explore processes of urbanisation in protected areas, exemplified by terraces, a significant agricultural landscape heritage in this area.

Title: Restorative wildscapes at work: an investigation of the wellbeing benefits of greenspace at urban fringe business sites using ‘go-along’ interviews
Abstract:
The potential well-being benefits associated with the use of privately owned greenspaces in working environments have received little research attention. Given the growing evidence on the restorative benefits of urban greenspace, and the fact that many people spend most of their daily hours at the workplace, the question of whether physical access to green environments from workplaces can promote well-being is a pertinent one. Person–environment relationships in peri-urban business sites were investigated in a series of semi-structured ‘go-along’ interviews with employees at Scottish science parks. Workers described a range of well-being benefits from outdoor breaks and associated these with qualities of the environment. Semi-natural and informally landscaped areas were most strongly associated with restoration during the working day. The implications of the findings for the planning and design of business sites at the urban fringe are explored.

Title: Mental well-being and quality-of-life benefits of inclusion in nature for adults with disabilities and their caregivers
Abstract:
The benefits of green space and nature experiences are increasingly being recognised and translated into public health policy and practice. Alongside this trend, inclusion of all people into parks and nature has been an important area of parks and recreation practice. Nature inclusion for those with disabilities, youth, seniors and immigrants has become a focus of Alberta in Western Canada. This study was designed to examine the influence of two such government supported nature interventions, including day trips and a more extensive weekend or week-long nature experience, on mental well-being outcomes. It is a mixed methods pilot study (N = 37) with baseline and post-intervention measures of quality of life using the standard Quality of Life Inventory (QOLI) alongside other qualitative accounts. Quantitative findings, while not statistically significant, show a positive trend towards improved depression markers, greater health satisfaction, improved social relationships (in particular, love and friendship), as well as satisfaction with a sense of community and experiences of helping. In addition to comments within the QOLI, qualitative data were elicited through reflective writing during the nature interventions. Three dominant qualitative themes of inclusive nature experiences were found: ‘Sensory Activation’, ‘Reimagined Social Relations’ and ‘Reinvented Self’.

Title: Physical exercise, health, and post-socialist landscapes—recreational running in Sofia, Bulgaria
Abstract:
The changes that have been brought about since the end of state socialism include modifications to the urban landscape of cities like Sofia, Bulgaria. There has been a decline in the number of green spaces, sports facilities and state-run sports programmes. The changing urban landscape has seen an increase in car travel, car parking and projects such as the Sofia Metro. Citizens from Bulgaria are among the least active in Europe; this has an enormous effect on the prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases. However, during the last decade, there has been an increase in recreational running, and in particular informal running clubs in Sofia. This paper uses recreational running to understand the changing landscape of post-socialist cities and its effect on techniques of public health. Using data from two in-depth qualitative case studies of informal running clubs from Sofia to examine the effects of the changing urban landscape on recreational fitness practices and well-being, the rationale of this paper is that this has the potential to generate fresh suggestions about the effective promotion of public health through exercise in view of how and where urban running is currently conducted in post-socialist landscapes.

Title: Greenspace matters: exploring links between greenspace, gender and well-being with conservation volunteers
Abstract:
Our study aimed to increase understanding of the effect of gender on mediating engagement with greenspace, currently poorly understood. We engaged with a group of conservation volunteers in a Scottish city to explore how men and women benefit from and interact with greenspace in a deprived area. We found that interactions with the greenspace have multiple health and well-being benefits and that differences in engagement (and therefore potentially in any well-being benefits accrued) can be identified between men and women in terms of: motivations for getting involved with the group (e.g., men got involved for something to do whilst women sought to pursue conservation experience), connections volunteers made being in the group (e.g., men were more likely to value the social connections they made in the group than women) and finally, and potentially most importantly, the greenspace being valued for being a ‘neutral space’ where volunteers (especially men) felt more at ease and equal than in other places. This research enhances understanding of the ways in which benefits from engagement with greenspace are mediated through social factors such as gender and volunteering. Such research is important to planners and policy-makers in understanding how greenspace use can be encouraged for different genders.

Title: ‘Relieving gloomy and objectless lives’. The landscape of Caterham Imbecile Asylum
Abstract:
From the mid-eighteenth century the lunatic asylum landscape has been recognised as playing a key role in the health of patients. This article explores the landscape of a different type of nineteenth-century institution, Caterham Imbecile Asylum, one of the first state imbecile asylums. Built following the public health reforms of the 1860s, Caterham was a long-stay institution, and thus developed a particular institutional geography, due to the nature of its patients and its remit. This article will examine how the landscape of Caterham, its location, its grounds and its wider environment, were used as part of the asylum regime to provide a therapeutic landscape, and relieve the formerly gloomy, monotonous and objectless lives of its patients.

Title: Lost landscapes of healing: the decline of therapeutic mental health landscapes
Abstract:
Therapeutic landscapes feature prominently in contemporary discourse as they relate to mental health and well-being. Yet this engagement belies the long history of such settings in the therapeutic regimen for those with mental illness. Notable here are the asylum landscapes of the nineteenth century which included airing courts, ornamental gardens, orchards, vegetable plots and recreational grounds aimed at providing meaningful activity for inhabitants, natural beauty to assist them in their recovery, as well as provide food and income for the institution. With the emergence of deinstitutionalisation, modern pharmacotherapy and the reductionist biomedical approach to health, among other factors, these landscapes lost their therapeutic place during the twentieth century. Lacking however, is a critical examination of this transformation. Through the conceptual framework of therapeutic landscapes, this article explores this nexus with a focus on changes which transpired during this period eventuating in the demise of institutional landscapes for mental illness.

Title: The role of the urban landscape in restoring mental health in Sheffield, UK: service user perspectives
Abstract:
This small-scale study looks at how different urban public spaces affect and contribute to recovery from acute mental health problems. It reveals findings from in-depth interviews with eight Sheffield service users in June 2013. The occupational therapy (OT) ‘Model of Human Occupation’ framed the research so it was applicable for mental health professionals and service users. Paths to recovery were narrated through a user-focused and inclusive research process that included an Experiential Landscape Mapping workshop. This participative approach adds diversity to existing studies that are primarily quantitative, based in environmental psychology. Results suggest the significance of overarching social and symbolic themes for material preferences in landscape design, and highlight how opportunities for graded exposure to outdoor social environments can aid recovery, in accordance with the OT model. The methods employed for this study gave a longitudinal perspective, highlighting that different places can be beneficial and detrimental at different points of recovery.

Title: Affective sanctuaries: understanding Maggie’s as therapeutic landscapes
Abstract:
Since 1996, Maggie’s has led a new approach to cancer support that emphasises the empowering potential of the designed environment for its users. This paper draws on qualitative research from two separate projects undertaken with staff, visitors and volunteers at 10 Maggie’s Centres, exploring their experiences of Maggie’s environments, and their use of internal spaces and garden areas. Maggie’s has been most often noted for the buildings it commissions, but we argue that the gardens prompt a re-evaluation of the integrated healing environment. Locating our research in health geography debates, Maggie’s buildings and gardens are situated as contemporary examples of therapeutic landscapes. The Centres open up debates about the capacity of the designed environment to enhance the experience of well-being. This is achieved through the provision of communal areas within which visitors can find private places for emotional retreat, encouraging the experience of affective sanctuary.

Title: Understanding Farmers' Aesthetic Preference for Tidy Agricultural Landscapes: A Bourdieusian Perspective
Abstract: Studies of landscape aesthetics based on photographic assessment indicate that farmers have a unique perspective—seeing beauty in the same ordered and controlled arable agricultural landscapes that almost all other publics find monotonous and boring. This paper uses Bourdieu's theory of capital to explore why farmers hold this perspective. Interpretations farmers place on ‘tidy’ features such as straight lines and evenly coloured fields were explored through a cross-cultural study between Germany and Scotland. Results show how farmers ‘read’ agricultural landscapes for signs of skilled farming, and how their interpretation is dependent on knowledge of the connection between efficient farming practices and the appearance of forms and colours in the fields. The implications of agricultural landscape aesthetics for the development of cultural and social capital are discussed.

Title: Researching Militarized Landscapes: A Literature Review on War and the Militarization of the Environment
Abstract: This article critically assesses literature on militarized landscapes (sites that are partially or fully mobilized to achieve military aims). It argues that alongside increasing public and media attention, militarized landscapes are a burgeoning area of inquiry in a variety of disciplines, including geography, history, earth sciences and archaeology. To allow for an analysis of different disciplinary perspectives around common themes, this article is structured around the areas of preparing for war, the battlefield, and the ‘homefront’. In light of the research identified in this article, it is no longer possible to treat war and landscape as separate realms. Instead, the challenge is to explore how war and landscapes reciprocally reproduce each other across time and space. The common themes that exist across the scholarly disciplines also indicate the potential for extensive interdisciplinary research into militarized landscapes.

Title: Preferences for Landscapes: A Matter of Cultural Determinants or Innate Reflexes that Point to Our Evolutionary Background?
Abstract: Two different theories exist relating to preferences for landscapes: 1) people prefer certain types of landscape independent of their cultural and ethnic background—preferences are innate; 2) people prefer landscapes experienced during childhood regardless of their appearance owing to learned conceptions—preferences are determined by culture. Our aim was to evaluate relationships among preferences for landscapes and childhood landscapes. Results are based on a questionnaire sent out at random to 2000 people in Sweden, and on a qualitative study comprising 19 people. They show that people: i) feel more at home in the type of landscape they grew up in and more often choose to settle down in this type of landscape, even if they have moved from their childhood region; ii) prefer qualities connected to childhood landscapes. However, some of these qualities, those suggested to be innate, are more preferred than others. In conclusion, people prefer landscapes experienced during childhood, but seem to attach more easily to qualities that are suggested to have an innate significance.

Title: Social Landscape Metrics: Measures for Understanding Place Values from Public Participation Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS)
Abstract: Landscape metrics are used in landscape ecology to quantify landscape characteristics related to structure, function and change by quantifying the structure and distributional pattern of landscape elements such as plants, animals and other physical landscape features. To date, there has been little published research on landscape metrics that include social perceptions of landscape. In this paper, we introduce the concept of social landscape metrics that quantify human perceptions of place resulting from the use of public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS). We present and explain a set of social landscape metrics that measure the composition and configuration of human perceptions of landscapes from multiple study areas using empirical data from PPGIS studies. We distinguish between two classes of social landscape metrics, boundary and inductive, present methods to develop them, and describe some of their applications to land use planning and management. We conclude with a discussion of future research needs for advancing knowledge about social landscape metrics.

Title: Ten Tenets and Six Questions for Landscape Urbanism
Abstract: This paper offers an interpretation of Landscape Urbanism, then initiates a critical analysis. It attempts to decode the sometimes prolix language in which Landscape Urbanism is presented and to identify a number of ‘tenets’ which most of its adherents would hold. The second part of the paper questions some of these tenets, asking whether Landscape Urbanism's attack on the urban–rural binary is well conceived and whether it is a helpful contribution to the problems raised by worldwide urbanisation. It also considers the implications of Landscape Urbanism for other discourses, including those of heritage, landscape conservation and participatory planning and design. It concludes that there are a number of inconsistencies and lacunae which landscape urbanists ought to urgently address.

Title: Housing Conflicts in the Irish Countryside: Uses and Abuses of Postcolonial Narratives
Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore how collective memories of place have framed contemporary planning conflicts in a rural arena. Specifically, the paper charts the emergence of the Irish Rural Dwellers Association (IRDA) as a vocal campaigner for private property rights and a laissez-faire approach to accommodating new housing development in the open countryside. For the IRDA, postcolonial narratives and national(ist) identities provide an important vocabulary for protest and opposition to state regulation by: 1) providing a discursive device to create a shared storyline of rural struggle; 2) providing an exclusionary device, whereby drawing on ‘memory’ and representations of rurality creates an insider/outsider discourse where some voices are cast as illegitimate; and 3) providing a frame for placing emotional knowledge at the centre of planning and landscape policy-making. This paper questions the authenticity of this policy narrative and addresses the validity of self-acclaimed knowledge within the landscape and rural policy arena. More broadly, the paper attempts to enhance understanding of how memory shapes policy narratives in the (re)production of cultural landscapes.

Title: Urban soundscapes: a quasi-experiment in landscape architecture
Abstract:
Soundscapes are becoming increasingly recognised as significant for sustainable development, since they involve issues of health and quality of life. With this in mind, the present study aims to further our understanding of how urban soundscapes can be altered through design of outdoor space. The study took the form of a quasi-experiment on an urban square, involving sound screens covered with ivy to form a small arbour. Assessment was effected using a mixed-method approach that included measurements of sound pressure levels as well as self-reports from (in total) 205 visitors (198 questionnaires and 9 semi-structured interviews were used for analysis). The findings reveal that the arbour improved the soundscape. This effect was further enhanced when forest sounds were added through loudspeakers, underlining the importance of qualitative considerations. The study additionally highlights potential applications of soundscape design, by examining a number of issues encountered during the project in relation to landscape architecture.

Title: The coexistence of amenity and biodiversity in urban landscapes
Abstract:
Amenity is a long-standing component of town planning and municipal governance. Biodiversity is a far more recent concept, yet interpreting the conservation mandate in a local context is a significant challenge for landscape and urban planners. This article explores the concepts of amenity and biodiversity and investigates their compatibility in an urbanising world. Their historical expression in law and urban planning is considered, and empirical research on the links between human well-being, green environments and biodiversity is reviewed. We argue that amenity is an underutilised vehicle for achieving biodiversity goals in line with new urban greening paradigms because of its long-standing currency with planning professionals. However, conflict between biodiversity and amenity can arise in practice, depending on a city’s social–ecological context. These challenges can be overcome through setting clear objectives, utilising scientific evidence, engaging with local communities and ensuring landscape policy is sufficiently flexible to accommodate local needs and characteristics.

Title: Fauna in wetland landscapes: a perception approach
Abstract:
Perception and observation of the faunal component of the landscape have not been sufficiently examined for wetlands in the past. In the present study, a methodological approach is followed based on a questionnaire that is used with different population groups involved in a wetland in southern Spain. Using this questionnaire, it is established that fauna, especially birds, is seen as a distinctive element of wetland landscapes. This study shows how the importance of the animal component goes beyond visual perception of the landscape, making a particular contribution to its sound dimension. Also identified are several factors that have a significant effect on the perception and observation of wetland fauna: knowledge about, interest in and familiarity with the subject. The results can be applied to the citizen participation policies favoured by the European Landscape Convention, as well as to the characterisation, protection, management and planning of landscapes where fauna is an appreciable element.

Title: Solving landscape-related conflicts through transnational learning? The case of transboundary Nordic World Heritage sites
Abstract:
World Heritage (WH) sites are areas for international conservation of nature and culture with outstanding universal values. The Nordic countries possess two large landscapes with WH recognition that serve as a base for this study, the WH Laponia and the WH High Coast/Kvarken Archipelago. The WH Laponia in Sweden combines both cultural and natural value; the Norwegian area of Laponia is not designated WH, but represents an area with governmental ambitions to become an UNESCO WH site. The WH High Coast/Kvarken Archipelago (Sweden/Finland) is a serial-nominated, transnational WH site designated purely on nature merits. Within these WH sites, there are local communities and indigenous peoples with democratic rights who participate in the management of the areas and use the local resources of their natural environment.This article analyses the processes of WH nomination and implementation of the WH Convention (1972) in the Nordic countries. It also depicts a strong Nordic tradition of transnational learning (TNL) which is also used within WH governance. The article uses comparative methods and theories of governance, co-management, transnational governance and TNL in the analysis of the transboundary WH sites. The empirical results illustrate the challenges of local democratic participation in the national and transnational decision-making regarding nomination and implementation of the WH Convention. It suggests that deficiency of democratic participation during early stages in pre-WH designation processes may be compensated by TNL. Learning between and within WH-related networks and groups, show in the Nordic perspective examples of incorporating WH stakeholders in cooperation across national borders. TNL may be restricted by cultural and legal limitations.

Title: Evaluation of biocultural landscapes and associated ecosystem services in the region of Suğla Lake in Turkey
Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate biocultural landscapes and associated ecosystem services in the region of Suğla Lake located in Konya Province of Turkey. Method of the study includes four stages. In the first stage, the biodiversity function of landscapes was identified by overlapping the maps of flora and fauna and then it was evaluated by using a 1–5 score system. Second, the cultural diversity function of landscapes was evaluated by site survey and literature review. The obtained data were evaluated according to the 11 criteria by using a 1–4 score system. The analysed data were transferred on to the maps. Third, the biocultural landscapes were designated by overlapping the maps of the biodiversity and cultural diversity functions of landscapes. Finally, major ecosystem services provided by the biocultural landscapes were examined by assessing the collected data on the biodiversity and cultural diversity functions of landscapes and review of literature.

Title: How heterogeneous are adolescents’ preferences for natural and semi-natural riverscapes as recreational settings?
Abstract:
Recent research has indicated that the younger generations may be disconnected from nature and even show some dislike for natural conditions. This study addressed adolescents’ preferences for riverscapes with varying fluvial dynamics as recreational settings. A stated choice survey with digitally calibrated river scenarios asked Austrian pupils (N = 281) about their preferences for several physical and social characteristics of a floodplain landscape. Pupils perceived riverscapes with a high water dynamic as best for recreation, while water bodies with low water levels and algae, dry river sites, floods and littered trails were disliked. Heterogeneity among the pupils was found with one smaller segment preferring settings with high water dynamic and low human impact, while the larger one preferred settings with more human impact and low water dynamic. This segment that shows some dislike for natural conditions had less experience with rivers and scored lower on natural river-related attitudes and perceptions. Implications for recreational river planning and aesthetic assessments are derived.

Title: The urban landscape as affordance for adolescents’ everyday physical activity
Abstract:
This study explores factors in the physical outdoor environment of the urban landscape that promote or hinder adolescents’ physical activity (PA). The analysis was inspired by Gibson’s affordance concept. The study combines actual use with potential affordances in neighbourhoods to generate special classes of actualised affordances. Two Norwegian school districts and their local neighbourhoods in different landscapes were selected as case areas. The patterns of adolescents’ everyday leisure-time activity were recorded using ‘children’s tracks’ methodology. Landscape characterisation connected the activity patterns to the physical structure of the landscape. Our study suggests that urban landscape structure is associated with PA patterns and adolescents’ choice of activity types. Our results confirm previous studies as regards the importance of neighbourhood design and facilities for PA in promoting such activity.

Title: Landscape identities in Catalonia
Abstract:
This article aims to analyse the subject of landscape modifications and the absorption of new elements within a context that enables broader reflection on the creation of territorial identities by consciously intervening in existing imaginaries. Although an extensive literature has been generated around imaginaries and landscape imaginaries, the benefits of creating new imaginaries or, if you will, new ‘landscapes of reference’ are not frequently touched upon as a constructive reaction to the homogenisation processes generated by the intense globalisation our lives are immersed in. The following pages deal with all these matters, taking into consideration the situation in Catalonia within the European context.

Title: Greening Ahmedabad—creating a resilient Indian city using a green infrastructure approach to investment
Abstract:
Ahmedabad is the commercial centre of the Indian state of Gujarat. With a population of 5.1 million, it is subject to a range of socio-economic and ecological pressures which influence how the city’s landscape is planned. In 2013, the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA) released a second draft of the 3rd Development Plan for the city. This document outlined how the city plans to strategically deliver built infrastructure, as well as, enhance its landscape through green infrastructure (GI). Utilising ecological networks the plan explores the value of integrating landscape projects to facilitate a spatially functional landscape resource base. This paper evaluates the transition from the rhetoric of the Development Plan to delivery. Drawing on commentary from local stakeholders, it reflects on the form that GI is taking, and asks whether projects such as the Sabarmati Riverfront are meeting both the strategic, and more localised socio-environmental needs of the city.

Title: How does perception of nearby nature affect multiple aspects of neighbourhood satisfaction and use patterns?
Abstract:
Neighbourhood satisfaction and use of outdoor green spaces play a significant role in life satisfaction and well-being of urban residents. This study enhances our understanding of these factors by examining specific attributes of the nearby outdoor environment that pertain to planning and design recommendations. A random sample of 434 residents from four Chicago communities participated in a survey incorporating perception of various aspects of environmental attributes as well as multiple dimensions of neighbourhood satisfaction and use patterns. Using multiple regression modelling, the results demonstrated that satisfaction with quality of public spaces, amount of affordances provided by them and neighbourhood comfort are strongly influenced by the physical attributes and content of walking-distance outdoor spaces. Understanding residents' perception of planning and design-related attributes of the environment through an evidence-based approach can significantly contribute to more effective decisions, leading ultimately to fewer gaps between what people need and what is offered to them in outdoor settings.

Title: Landscape’s physiognomic structure: conceptual development and practical applications
Abstract:
The past decade has seen an increased interest in approaches for the identification and assessment of landscapes, which has been, in part, a response to the European Landscape Convention (ELC). In this article, we review landscape physiognomy, an important component of the Polish approach to the assessment and identification of its landscape. We address the relevance of physiognomy both in relation to the ELC and to the landscape character assessments approach, and then explore the theoretical basis of landscape physiognomic structure. We also expand the existing classification of landscape interiors; this is followed by combining three approaches: (1) physical geography in the field of comprehensive classification of natural landscapes; (2) landscape ecology studies on the spatial structure of land cover patches against the ‘landscape matrix’ and (3) the theory of landscape interiors. Presented ideas create the outline of the concept of landscape’s physiognomic structure.

Title: An ambivalent landscape: the return of nature to post-agricultural land in South-eastern Australia
Abstract:
Urban, peri-urban, post-industrial and post-agricultural landscapes are transforming throughout the world due to changes in human use. Spontaneous growth of vegetation (regrowth) that may be part of this transformation is sometimes viewed negatively because of perceived threats to human agency and well-being. In many cases, however, societies experiencing regrowth appear to ignore it. This is problematic as scientists are increasingly finding ecological values in regrowth landscapes. Fostering positive biodiversity outcomes in these areas requires knowledge of how the regrowth is perceived by stakeholders. This paper draws upon 53 semi-structured interviews and document reviews exploring perceptions, views and management of abundant and extensive regrowth by stakeholders in a post-agricultural landscape in central Victoria, Australia. Through discourse analysis, the research highlights the social ambivalence to regrowth and illuminates the underlying causes of that ambivalence. We indicate how this understanding can be used to foster social recognition and acceptance of regrowth and its role in landscape restoration.

Title: Agricultural landscapes between intensification and abandonment: the expectations of the public in a Central-Alpine cross-border region
Abstract:
The aim of this study is to find out what locals and tourists in a Central-Alpine, multilingual cross-border region expect from an Alpine landscape, with a special focus on agriculture. Using a standardised questionnaire, we carried out more than 3500 face-to-face interviews with locals and tourists in Tyrol (Austria) and South Tyrol (Italy). The questionnaire comprised (1) content-related questions and (2) questions to collect demographic data on the interviewees. We employed nonparametric methods to analyse the survey results and differences between demographic groups. More than 70% of the study participants liked traditional land-use and did not have major reservations about agricultural intensification or extensification. Of those interviewed, 73% were in favour of giving public financial support to farmers. The findings obtained in this study suggest broad acknowledgement and acceptance of environmental compensation schemes and the maintenance of extensive and traditional land-use systems.

Title: A spatial analysis of the pond design to create Okufukasa, a sense of depth: a case study of Katsura Imperial Villa
Abstract:
This study examined the visual structures of five highly regarded views at Katsura Imperial Villa to clarify the pond spatial characteristics of Okufukasa (a sense of depth) in Japanese stroll gardens. Analysing the layout and visibility of both the water surface and the islands in the pond view, we found that Okufukasa is created through a combination of features, such as the visual depth and width of the water surface with the vista and perspective, overlapping island layers, and the concealment of shorelines and their scenic end points. Two types of outlines were used to determine how layout affects Okufukasa. Directional outlines, distributed along the sides of the visual path, contribute to vista and perspective by mimicking the orientation of the furthest visible water surface. Meanwhile, stratificational outlines, distributed along the centre islands and convex sections of the surrounding islands, create overlap in the scenic layers. Clarifying this area of tacit knowledge in traditional Japanese gardening can contribute to the application of Okufukasa in contemporary landscape design.

Title: There’s always the river: social and environmental equity in rapidly urbanising landscapes in India
Abstract:
In the pursuit of sustainable and liveable cities, Indian built environment practitioners and policy-makers are understandably focused on aspects of infrastructure, sanitation and health, given the significant urban problems of pollution and environmental degradation. However, there is limited empirical examination of Indian towns and cities as changing urban landscapes. To explore this, the paper examines the rivers in two rapidly urbanising Indian cities. It calls on interviews with practitioners, residents and users in Madurai and Ahmedabad, focusing on access and use of the river to explore social and environmental equity. The findings suggest that free, public and safe access to the rivers have reduced over time in both cities, for different reasons. Perceived environmental quality of both rivers has also worsened and the associated cultural meanings, held by riparian users, have changed. We suggest that urban river infrastructure should be reconceptualised to explore the feasibility and acceptability of a more holistic approach to understanding Indian riparian urban landscapes.

Title: The relationship between exposure to natural and urban environments and children’s self-regulation
Abstract:
Research suggests that children living in areas with more greenspace may have better self-regulation, but to date no studies have investigated this capacity immediately following exposure to natural vs. urban environments. To explore this, two studies using between-subjects experimental designs were conducted. Participants, between eight and eleven years old, completed a delay of gratification task (as an indicator of self-regulation) before and after a short (3 min) video of either a natural or built environment or a control display. Potential cognitive and emotional mechanisms underpinning any self-regulation effects were explored using a selective attention task (Stroop test) and by monitoring mood (adapted Cantril’s ladder). Results were mixed. Supporting earlier work, post-test delay of gratification scores were significantly better after exposure to a natural than urban environment, however, compared to controls, it appeared that this effect was due to the depleting effect of the built condition, rather than any restorativeness of the natural condition. Although we also found a marginally significant increase in mood after exposure to the natural environment, this did not mediate the effects of environment on self-regulation.

Title: ‘Great Rides’ on New Zealand’s new national cycleway: pursuing mobility capital
Abstract:
New Zealand has long claimed itself as ‘adventure capital of the world’, a place to engage in a wide range of adventurous activities. The backdrop: extensive areas of grand landscape. A new form of access to this landscape has been developed with the extensive new cycle trails. To date 19 dedicated routes in diverse scenic locations constitute Nga Haerenga, the national cycleway system. The $60 million enterprise, co-sponsored by national and local government, is a strategy to encourage both domestic and international tourism. Through riding these trails, cyclists of every level of experience and skill expand their own mobility capital. New Zealand’s well-established brand as a place of glorious landscape is the significant motif in this project. These Great Rides are the newest agents in this ongoing promotion exercise. The seduction of pretty landscape and the sheer joy of cycling over-ride concerns about local eco-politics.

Title: Towards (dis)continuity of agricultural wetlands: Latvia’s polder landscapes after Soviet productivism
Abstract:
The concepts of agricultural regimes in advanced economies, such as productivism or non/neo/post-productivism, have been critically debated over the last decades to understand the transition and diversity of modern agriculture. We explore these concepts to understand the environmentally vulnerable landscape of agricultural wetlands in Latvia that, during the era of Soviet high modernism (productivist agricultural regime), have been converted into polders as part of a mass drainage movement. Today, these post-Soviet agro-polders can be characterised as antipodes in relation to integrity of heritage, ecology and the socio-economics of agricultural concerns. Building on case studies, wider political contexts and current debates on agricultural transitions, the paper traces the transition of wetlands through agricultural regimes and unfolds the various pathways for current polder landscapes. This paper concludes with critical notes on the contemporary co-existence of different agro-polder use of which the most incoherent are the non-productivist actions producing landscapes of mere agricultural appearance.

Title: Use of GIS-based analysis to explore the characteristics of preferred viewing spots indicated by the visual interest of visitors
Abstract:
Visual resources are important for constructing attractive outdoor recreational spaces and for attracting potential tourists. Therefore, visual resources need to be assessed as part of planning and management, in order to maintain or improve the quality of such recreational spaces. Most studies have focused mainly on identifying the scenes or visual objects preferred by visitors; comparatively little attention has been given to identifying locations from which visitors choose to view or photograph attractive scenes while sightseeing. In this study, we present a GIS-based visual-resource-assessment method using spatial location and orientation data from photographs taken by participants. Using these photographs, the characteristics of the viewing spots preferred by participants are evaluated based on visual interest. The results enable identification of preferred viewing spots and description of their spatial characteristics. By comparing different viewing spots, a hierarchy of spot attractiveness is constructed.

Title: Landscapes and Narratives: Compositions and the Walking Body
Abstract: This paper explores how landscapes are narrated through the activity of walking. It follows the footsteps of walkers as they traverse different kinds of terrains in different circumstances and aims to examine how the walking body and the landscape as entwined entities shape each other. The focus is on narrative compositions and how they appear in the landscape through the course of walking. The paper starts by exploring two different types of compositions and then analyses how walking narratives are composed through the connections and disconnections of the walking body with the surroundings, creating a narrative landscape of absences and presences.

Title: The Norwegian Trekking Association: Trekking as Constituting the Nation
Abstract: This article takes a performative approach to understanding the significance of hiking practices in ‘wilderness’ landscapes. It examines the role of the Norwegian Trekking Association in nationalising hiking practices in Norway through the use of technologies of governance and by incorporating people into particular practices of movement. The paper thus shows how the Association was implicated in the production and continued re-production of anationalised landscape, and how the performance of route-making and route-following have prioritised certain kinds of activities, and hence certain kinds of people, over others.

Title: Narrating the Road
Abstract: This article proposes that the term ‘road’ provides a concept of theoretical value for anthropological discussions of mobility. Based on ethnographic research in two neighbouring settlements in Siberia, I discuss the range of stories indigenous residents offered during our discussions of roads. Their definitions of roads contrast with those used more globally. A hodological approach to the concept of road demonstrates connections among ideas of kinship, movement, nomadism, metaphor and knowledge. Accounts from the social lives of travellers enlarge the possibilities of understanding the relationship between roads and narrative.

Title: Farming and the Nature of Landscape: Stasis and Movement in a Regional Landscape Tradition
Abstract: This paper explores farming landscapes in Orkney, Scotland, focusing particularly on local responses to the rise of the environmental movement and agri-environmental schemes. It argues that where institutional designations of ‘nature’ tended to invoke a generalised temporal stasis, local and regional understandings of ‘landscape’ emphasise specific histories, transience, and movement. Seeking these regional senses of landscape through an ethnographic approach, the paper presents some personal histories of responses to nature conservation that have a context in local cultural understandings of landscape. The continuing importance of the udal land tenure heritage in Orkney in relation to this is described. Finally, the ways that farmers and recreational walkers move around farm land are presented as further evidence for the importance of localised concepts of landscape in contrast to institutional designations of nature, while recognising that environmentalists themselves have come to take on aspects of such concepts. Agri-environment schemes seeking to be relevant in particular landscapes should propose the kind of active, participative management that the farmers engage in with the rest of their land.

Title: Other Ways: Landscapes of Commuting
Abstract: In this article we touch upon the intimate bond between commuters that grows (or, sometimes, does not grow) in their daily wayfinding. The commuter's movement through the world, once established, is a steady back and forth along well-worn paths. Each day the commuters need to recall their way into work, and from time to time their ways change due to congestion, road building, other places they have to go by along the way, or even just whim. The Habitable Cars project that we present here has been concerned with people travelling together as families, friends and car-sharers. In this paper we will present two video clips where the route itself is manifest as the problem for the occupants of a car. Offering and taking shortcuts sustains and makes manifest our intimacy with a place.

Title: Forty years of
Abstract:
Papers of four decades published in Landscape Research are reviewed in order to chronicle the journal’s development and to assess the academic performance of the journal relative to its own aims. Landscape Research intends to reach a wide audience, to have a broad thematic coverage and to publish different types of papers with various methodological orientations. Cutting across these first aims are the interdisciplinary ambition of the journal, and its overall focus on landscape. These aims are evaluated based upon categorisation of article content, authorship and methodology, using data derived through interpretative inquiry and quantitative analyses. The results tell the story of how Landscape Research has developed from a newsletter of the Landscape Research Group, mainly aimed at practitioners, into an interdisciplinary, international journal with academic researchers as its primary community of interest. The final section discusses the current profile of the journal and identifies issues for its future direction and development.

Title: A landscape cannot be a homeland
Abstract:
What is the problem for which landscape is the answer? In this paper, I offer a response to this question, first posed at a meeting of landscape researchers in Brussels in 2011. I argue that the problem can be defined as ontopology, or what I call here homeland thinking, and I propose that a landscape cannot be a homeland. The salience of landscape as a critical term instead involves modes of thinking and feeling that chafe against invocations of homeland as a site of existential inhabitation, as a locus of sentiment and attachment, and a wellspring of identity. The paper explores the connections between ideas of landscape and homeland through discussions of the European Landscape Convention, phenomenology and the term homeland itself. I conclude by arguing that a landscape must be understood as a kind of dislocation or distancing from itself. There are, after all, no original inhabitants.

Title: The trouble with representation: landscape and environmental justice
Abstract:
In landscape studies, at the turn of the twenty-first century, the concept of representation has been high on the agenda. Representation has often been understood as the expression of particular cultural politics of landscape, accentuating the socially biased and incomplete nature of textual and visual mediations of the world. In more recent work, it is possible to discern a shift from this emphasis on cultural representation to a fuller engagement with political representation. The concern here, crucially, is to understand representation as a core concept of justice, entwined with the social and material struggle over the right to landscape. In effect, to understand how landscapes materialise struggles over justice, an engagement with political representation is indispensable. As this paper elucidates, one potential consequence of the rediscovery of the political logic of representation is a rapprochement of landscape studies with environmental justice.

Title: Walking methods in landscape research: moving bodies, spaces of disclosure and rapport
Abstract:
Walking methods or accompanied visits are increasingly being used to investigate people’s encounters with landscape. Walking methods are often celebrated for opening up new spaces of disclosure, building rapport and generating new knowledge of landscape. However, stating these benefits of walking as a research method has now become somewhat of a methodological orthodoxy that risks ignoring the diverse contexts and cultural circumstances within which people walk and the relational qualities of landscape. Walking methods do not simply ‘uncover’ people’s responses to landscape, they open particular relational spaces of ‘people-landscape’. Furthermore, walking does not just open up research avenues, it closes them down too. This paper explores in more depth these propositions and the complex interplay between people (as social and embodied beings), walking and landscape. The focus is on examples drawn from walks utilised as method, walks for pleasure and walks for pilgrimage, where I propose some features of the walk and the cultural context of the walker’s body that should be given critical consideration when adopting a walking methodology. These include: the rhythm and style of the walk, the walk route terrain and distance, and the fitness and embodied dispositions of the walker. I then question further the presumed utility of ‘rapport’ that leisure walks and research walks are often thought to create. In so doing, this paper offers some critical insights for researchers of landscape who are considering adopting a walking methodology.

Title: Unintentional landscapes
Abstract:
The presence of ‘unintentional landscapes’ invites reflection on the difficulties in defining marginal or interstitial spaces, or indeed the concept of landscape itself. In some cases, so-called wastelands or terrain vague have been appropriated as spaces of adventure, creativity or discovery. In other cases, these anomalous spaces have been the focus of anxiety or disdain, or simply erased on account of their putative ‘emptiness’ to make way for more lucrative forms of land use. In recent years, however, fragments of spontaneous nature have been incorporated into landscape design, or even mimicked through the adoption of a ‘wasteland aesthetic’. Marginal spaces appear to transcend existing Eurocentric circuits of landscape discourse by offering multiple meanings and manifestations. Indeed, the cultural and scientific interest in these spaces lies precisely in their complexity and uncertainty.

Title: Beauty: past and future
Abstract:
Beauty was banished from much art critical writing and aesthetics for a large part of the second half of the twentieth century. The category of the beautiful was critiqued by feminists for objectifying women, by sociologists for maintaining class divisions and conceptual artists who had little concern for formalist conceptions of beauty based on characteristics like grace or harmony. While beauty wasn’t completely ignored in Landscape Research, it’s highly unlikely to find scholars writing about the formal characteristics of a landscape’s grace. Nevertheless, during the past decade, there has been renewed interest in beauty headed by philosophers and theorists. The following surveys the historical status of beauty and describes contextual beauty, beauty and social justice, and beauty and meaning. These theories expand beauty beyond a concern with only formal features to be appreciated with disinterestedness, informing a new approach for analysing designed landscapes while raising challenges for practice.

Title: Challenges for a shared European countryside of uncertain future. Towards a modern community-based landscape perspective
Abstract:
This paper addresses current changes in the highly diverse European landscape, and the way these transitions are being treated in policy and landscape management in the fragmented, heterogeneous and dynamic context of today’s Europe. It appears that intersecting driving forces are increasing the complexity of European landscapes and causing polarising developments in agricultural land use, biodiversity conservation and cultural landscape management. On the one hand, multifunctional rural landscapes, especially in peri-urban regions, provide services and functions that serve the citizens in their demand for identity, support their sense of belonging and offer opportunities for recreation and involvement in practical landscape management. On the other hand, industrial agricultural production on increasingly large farms produces food, feed, fibre and energy to serve expanding international markets with rural liveability and accessibility as a minor issue. The intermediate areas of traditionally dominant small and family farms in Europe seem to be gradually declining in profitability. The paper discusses the potential of a governance approach that can cope with the requirement of optimising land-sharing conditions and community-based landscape development, while adapting to global market conditions.

Title: From urban beautification to a holistic approach: the discourses of ‘landscape’ in the Arab Middle East
Abstract:
The English word and Western idea of landscape was introduced during the colonial restructuring of Arab cities in the early decades of the twentieth century. Thereafter, landscape came to be understood predominantly in the context of urban modernity, associated with the Western picturesque tradition adopted in landscaping municipal parks and public urban spaces. The formal conception that prevails today precludes a broader appreciation of landscape as a source of livelihood, the fabric of lived-in experiences and collective identities, just as it reduces the scope of landscape architecture, an emerging profession in the Arab Middle East, to urban beautification. Inspired by the integrative and community-centred conception advanced by the European Landscape Convention, this paper argues for a holistic landscape approach that contributes to development while responding to regional environmental and ecological constraints. The methodology of ecological landscape design is applied to secure a holistic reading of people and place and to engender integrative solutions that address socio-economic, environmental and heritage concerns. A selection of projects are cited to demonstrate the potential of a holistic approach in changing current limited perceptions of landscape and in expanding the discourse of landscape in the region beyond the current focus on appearance and beautification.

Title: The Historic Urban Landscape paradigm and cities as cultural landscapes. Challenging orthodoxy in urban conservation
Abstract:
Today, for the first time in human history, more than half of the world’s population lives in cities. According to UN-Habitat, within two decades, five billion people will live in cities. Coincidentally, within the field of cultural heritage conservation, increasing international interest and attention over the past two decades has been focused on urban areas. This is timely because pressure for economic development and for the prioritising of engagement with the global economy has accompanied rapid urbanisation. In many societies, pressures for economic development have privileged modernisation efforts leading to the loss of traditional communities. Accompanying this has been a concentration in the field of urban conservation on famous buildings and monuments rather than seeing cities as communities of people with values and belief systems that are reflected in the city’s overall setting: its cultural landscape. This paper explores alternative ways of seeing cities particularly through the Historic Urban Landscape paradigm.

Title: Sonic environmental aesthetics and landscape research
Abstract:
The environmental aesthetics literature has primarily focused on the aesthetic qualities and values of landscapes. Within this scholarship, there has been a modest but steady advancement towards explicitly attending to the aesthetic experience of landscape sounds. In this paper, I review the theoretical and applied sonic aesthetics literature pertinent to landscape research, and identify some existing weaknesses. In particular, I demonstrate that there is an ongoing tendency to limit discussions to what is sonically pleasing or displeasing within a given landscape, which, I argue, provides a limited point of entry through which to consider the full scope of landscape sounds. I then turn to offer some ways to address these weaknesses—notably through what I term the development of a ‘sensitive ear’, and through field recording strategies—in the hope that this will allow scholars to better enfold sonic environmental aesthetics within future theoretical and applied landscape research.

Title: A preliminary investigation into the restorative potential of public aquaria exhibits: a UK student-based study
Abstract:
Even ‘managed’ natural settings, such as botanical gardens and zoos, can provide restorative experiences. Well-being benefits may also be greater in land/waterscapes with greater biodiversity (eg, species richness). Using two photo studies with student participants, we explored aesthetic and behavioural preferences, affect and the restorative potential of multiple public aquaria exhibits, including variation in biodiversity. Study 1 (N = 39) found that aquarium exhibits, in general, scored as highly as natural environments (eg, green space) on all dimensions. Study 2 (N = 40) examined whether responses were influenced by exhibit characteristics including: climatic region (tropical/temperate), biological group (vertebrates/invertebrates), species richness (high/low) and abundance of individuals (high/low). Supporting predictions, tropical, vertebrate (fish) and high species richness exhibits were generally rated more positively than temperate/invertebrate/low species richness exhibits. However, some low richness/high abundance exhibits were also rated unexpectedly positively. Findings are discussed within the context of the growing well-being and biodiversity literature.

Title: Journeys to play: planning considerations to engender inclusive playspaces
Abstract:
Making playspaces inclusive has predominately focused on internal design, addressing factors that constrain play experiences within these spaces for children with diverse impairments and their families. Less attention, however, has been paid to the journey to the site and how that may influence the decision to visit these environments. This paper contributes to this area by discussing the experiences of 10 children with diverse mobility impairments, aged 9–12-years-old, and their families from south-east Queensland, Australia. This person–environment study of their journeys to playgrounds illuminates the role getting to the site and entering the site plays in shaping decisions to actually visit playspaces. The findings also identify key considerations applicable to open space planning and site planning, towards achieving inclusive landscapes for play.

Title: Affordances of outdoor settings for children in preschool: revisiting heft’s functional taxonomy
Abstract:
Heft’s functional taxonomy for children’s outdoor environment based on the concept of affordances was applied and investigated in a Danish preschool context. Affordances here refer to the meaningful action possibilities of the environment. Two groups of children (3–6 years) enrolled in preschool were observed during times for ‘free play’ in their usual outdoor settings: traditional playground and forest (12 visits, respectively). Modified classes of outdoor features are suggested along with new practical class names: open ground, sloping terrain, shielded places, rigid fixtures, moving fixtures, loose objects, loose material, water, creatures and fire. Each class is specified by distinctive and attractive key activities found by observation. Examining each class indicated that important characteristics apart from availability were variation, sizes and change. The concept of affordances emphasises the ongoing user–environment–activity relationship important for planning with children in mind, but clarification is needed when using the term.

Title: Spatio-temporal patterns of birch regrowth in a Western Norwegian treeline ecotone
Abstract:
The study investigates spatio-temporal patterns of birch regrowth in a mountain valley in which intensive livestock grazing was formerly practised. Vegetation changes were identified through analysis of three sets of aerial photographs. The results of GIS analyses, one-way ANOVA and PCA showed that regrowth patterns are complex. In the early phase of succession, grazing history has a strong impact on where new forest establishes, both at a distance from the seasonal farmsteads where grazing intensity prior to abandonment was highest, and close to previously existing forest. Sprouting is most likely to be the dominating regeneration strategy in this early phase. In a later phase of succession, the impact of grazing history on forest distribution patterns decreases, as exemplified by the increasing distance from existing forest. The largest amounts of birch forest then establish in warm locations with moderate moisture. Protection against wind appears to be important for birch establishment.

Title: Niche construction, entanglement and landscape domestication in Scandinavian infield systems
Abstract:
Domesticated landscapes are formed by complex social and ecological interactions. We study present-day remnants of species-rich hay meadows and pastures in Scandinavia, with historical roots in former ‘infield systems’, initially developed during the first centuries AD and maintained until the modernisation of agriculture during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Infield systems include infields, enclosed areas near farms incorporating hay meadows and crop fields, and surrounding outlying land used mainly for grazing. We interpret the development of Scandinavian infield systems and their relationship to vegetation and human culture using concepts of niche construction and entanglement. A key issue revolves around spatio-temporal stabilisation of managed grasslands, in turn related to a complex of interactions between cultural development (e.g. perceptions of land ownership and management practices) and ecological patterns (e.g. species richness). We propose that niche construction and entanglement are useful concepts bridging studies in social history and ecology, and for developing conservation programmes in cultural landscapes.

Title: Drivers for plant species diversity in a characteristic tropical forest landscape in Bangladesh
Abstract:
The importance of understanding biotic patterns in managed tropical landscapes is increasingly recognised. Bangladesh is a country with a long human land-use history and constitutes almost a blind spot in vegetation science on the landscape scale. Here, we analyse patterns and drivers of plant species richness and community composition along a land-use intensity gradient in a forest landscape including tea gardens, tree plantations and nature reserves (Satchari Reserved Forest) based on multivariate approaches and variation partitioning. We find richness as well as composition of tree and understory species to directly relate to a disturbance gradient that reflects protection status and elevation. This is astonishing, as the range in elevation (70 m) is small. Topography and protection remain significant drivers of biodiversity after correcting for human disturbances. While tree and non-tree species richness were positively correlated, they differ considerably in their relation to other environmental or disturbance variables as well as in the spatial richness pattern. The disturbance regime particularly structures tree species richness and composition in protected areas. We conclude by highlighting the importance of explicitly integrating human–biosphere interactions in any nature protection strategy for the study region.

Title: Observation of floristic succession and biodiversity on rewilded lawns in a tropical city
Abstract:
Highly controlled and homogeneous greenery styled after the English parkland has become ubiquitous in Singapore since 1965. This stands in sharp contrast to the original characteristics of a tropical landscape embedded in a heterogeneous and complex ecosystem. This study investigates an alternative landscape management method of urban greenery in a tropical city. It observes three lawn plots over 18 months; no maintenance is done during this period, making it possible to document the process of natural growth and succession. The results of the study identify common succession patterns and their variables, and suggest that naturally-occurring flora and fauna boost biodiversity.

Title: The semiotics of landscape design communication: towards a critical visual research approach in landscape architecture
Abstract:
In landscape architecture, visual representations are the primary means of communication between stakeholders in design processes. Despite the reliance on visual representations, little critical research has been undertaken by landscape architects on how visual communication forms work or their socio-political implications. In this theoretical paper, we argue that such research is of great importance. We explain how concepts of visual and critical social theory such as visual semiotics, simulacra and simulation, and power/knowledge can be used to critically reflect on landscape architectural representations. We further propose to study these representations at different stages of meaning-making by using visual methodologies such as visual discourse analysis, iconographical content analysis and social semiotic analysis. We conclude that these research approaches have the potential to explain issues such as dominant power structures, miscommunication between participants, and visual path-dependencies during landscape design processes.

Title: Weathering: perspectives on the Northumbrian landscape through sound art and musical improvisation
Abstract:
Landscape Quartet was an AHRC-funded project carrying out artistic and philosopical research into environmental sound art. In contrast to a ‘field recording’ approach to the environment, Landscape Quartet devised participative and improvisatory approaches to making sound art in and with the landscape. The paper analyses the author's work related to the group from a predominantly phenomenological perspective, and draws on authors from geography, philosophy and anthropology to interrogate the experiences of working in this way. That landscapes are dynamic and temporal phenomena is congruent with the forms of musical activity, but this congruency is not without its problems. The history of landscape study is highly visually oriented, and there is a danger of transposing assumptions from visual approaches onto the sonic. However, the paper also refuses a phonocentric approach, arguing that Ingold’s insistence on the intersensorial nature of landscape experience is essential to fully account for environmental sound art.

Title: Pushing the boundary of territory: ecomuseums as dynamic, open spaces
Abstract:
This paper explores the spatial dimensions of a northern landscape – the Flodden battlefield. This is the focal site of the Flodden 1513 Ecomuseum; the centre to a network of 40 other sites around the United Kingdom which together interpret the Flodden story. However, this distributed network does not fit easily with the foundational ecomuseum concept of ‘territory’ as the boundary around a shared heritage, memory and community. The relative merits of three concepts of ecomuseums are discussed in relation to the Flodden 1513 Ecomuseum. Inspired by Doreen Massey’s interpretation of space, this study explores multiple dimensions of Flodden space through four semiautobiographical journeys to the Flodden battlefield during the author’s life: as a family holiday; a teenager with interest in military strategy; an early career field geologist; a project manager working with the local community and artists. The article concludes by suggesting the word territory may not be appropriate for ecomuseums: it suggests that Peter Davis’s favoured term place may be an improvement; however, it ends by proposing that space may be an even better word for the geographic context of ecomuseums.

Title: Island making: planning artistic collaboration
Abstract:
A knowledge exchange programme exploring the role of art in relation to the planning context of the Holy Island of Lindisfarne, this paper explores the role of artistic knowledge in making landscape. During 2013, 25 artistic workshops were developed in collaboration with residents and planning officials, resulting in an exhibition of works produced. From a pragmatist perspective this paper draws on ethnographic accounts of the realisation of the exhibition to reveal artistic knowledge exchange as ‘relational knowing’. The contribution of the paper is to recommend we account for artistic work as an ingredient of landscape planning. Although specifically drawing on fieldwork in Holy Island the experiential nature of this article makes a novel contribution across the field of rural planning.

Title: A resonant architecture: Liam McCormick and the sonorities of place
Abstract:
This paper discusses the work of Liam McCormick, an architect whose buildings are principally found in the landscapes of the North-West of Ireland. Primarily known for designing church buildings in the post-war period, his work is memorable for its translation of aspects of Modernist architecture within the specificities of the towns, country and coastlines of Derry and Donegal. This paper uses several of his buildings as the means to bring traditions of phenomenological approaches towards landscape into dialogue with each other. It does so in order to make connections with Jean-Luc Nancy’s philosophy of subjectivity, where the aim is to move from notions of the phenomenological subject to the resonant subject. In this paper, I work with this vein of theory and transpose it into thinking about architecture, its apprehension and its enactment within its surrounding spaces.

Title: What environmental art can teach us about wind farms: exploring the boundaries of cultural aesthetics in Scottish landscapes
Abstract:
Installations in the Scottish landscape garner a range of public reactions, from being much-loved to much-maligned. Two categories of landscape installation illustrating this range of reactions are landscape art installations and wind farms, both of which at times have been both widely positively received and largely criticised and protested. Viewing installations such as these through the consideration of the cultural landscape, incorporating social, economic and political history into the natural landscape, offers new ways of understanding their impact on viewers. Using Casey’s boundary/border discourse and Berleant’s aesthetic engagement theory, this article considers the impact of wind farms and large-scale landscape art installations on the landscape, and critically considers Scottish Natural Heritage wind farm siting guidance in light of the theoretical frames presented. The article concludes that current policy and practices surrounding wind farms render them exclusionary and homogenous, and that openness and distinctiveness are essential for improving public perceptions.

Title: A critical forest art practice: the Black Wood of Rannoch
Abstract:
The Black Wood of Rannoch is the most significant Caledonian forest in the Southern Highlands. Working from within the tradition of environmental art research, the authors sought to make a contribution to ideas about cultural ecology and the value of forests such as the Black Wood. The goal of this article is to provide an overview of the steps taken to both experience the visual/sensual conditions and understand the social/cultural aspects of a forest classified as ancient semi-natural woodland. What has emerged is an understanding of the ways in which historic land conflicts reshaped it into its current ecologically robust yet semi-natural condition. However, the cultural content and public interest one would expect to find in relationship to a historically important remnant forest are largely missing. The recovery of that content and interest was the focus of this research.

Title: Then is diffused in now: (re)reading Bunting’s Briggflatts through landscape performance practice
Abstract:
This essay presents a (re)reading of Basil Bunting’s 1965 poem, Briggflatts, based upon the authors’ experience of making Landscape Performance in Northumberland, England. The (re)reading of Briggflatts explores how the performative expression of the Northumberland landscape in the poem resonates with cultural geography’s ‘non-representational theory’. In an experience-based exploration of non-representational theories of landscape it examines how Briggflatts, as well as the authors’ performance work, uses the human body as a mechanism through which place is understood. The authors go on to consider how performance creates landscape within and outside of the geographical ‘site’ itself.

Title: Frozen landscapes: climate-adaptive design interventions in Ladakh and Zanskar
Abstract:
During the course of the past three decades, a number of subsistence agricultural villages in the Himalayan mountain range have witnessed ever-shrinking glaciers and an increasingly erratic supply of glacial meltwater. Having relied on these relatively stable reserves for crop irrigation for centuries, today’s high-Himalayan farmers must now contend with irregular weather patterns and events, such as drought, mudslides and cloudbursts. In the face of this shifting landscape, many farming villages have responded by altering long-standing agricultural practices in an effort to adapt to a changing climate. In this context, the incorporation of frozen landscape infrastructures can help to control the flow of surface meltwater, direct valuable water resources and stockpile irrigation reserves in the form of ice and snow. This article describes three types of frozen landscape design interventions currently employed in northern India: artificial glaciers, ice stupas and snow barrier bands. Although these constructs have been designed by engineers rather than landscape architects, they contribute to a larger body of climate-adaptive design solutions that suggest a way forward in the face of the unstable environmental pressures of the future. As landscape architects and designers look for opportunities to intervene in the climate crisis, the nascent frozen landscapes of northern India present ideas for climate change adaptive design work to build upon.

Title: Sheep grazing in ‘lawnscape’ management: an emissions comparison with conventional ‘lawnscape’ management
Abstract:
The use of sheep in lawnscape management is touted as a low-carbon alternative to conventional lawnscaping; however this claim remains unsubstantiated. While conventional lawnscaping generates greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, primarily through fuel combustion, sheep grazing produces methane (CH4) as well as manure which releases embodied nitrogen as nitrous oxide (N2O) as it degrades. These gases have a carbon equivalency of 25 and 298 respectively, indicating their much greater potency as GHGs relative to carbon dioxide (CO2). This paper is the first to critically profile and compare GHG emissions produced by grazing and conventional lawnscape management. It discusses critical factors affecting the carbon footprint of both practices, and develops a framework for evaluating lawnscape management emissions. This study finds that replacing lawnmowers and the treatment and application of compost with a grazing regime can reduce net lawnscape management emissions by 34–37%, or 980 kgCO2e/ha/year.

Title: Norwegian allotment gardens — a study of motives and benefits
Abstract:
Interest in urban allotment gardens (AGs) has increased during recent years. In Oslo, the capital of Norway, one must wait 10–20 years to get a plot in one of the urban AGs. Being an urban gardener can have a number of health benefits. However, the literature in this field has primarily studied community gardens in which it is not possible to stay overnight. An AG in Oslo is a plot of about 200 m2 with a small cottage one can live in during the summer season. In the present study, we explore individual plot holders’ reasons for engaging in one of the AGs in Oslo. Thirty-three plot holders were interviewed. The topics discussed concerned their reasons for and the perceived benefits of being plot holders. The findings show that the reasons for engaging in urban gardening are mainly related to a desire for a safe play environment for the children, a place to cultivate, and direct contact with the outdoors. The benefits of having a plot were related to having meaningful activities, being part of a social network and having a respite from ‘normal’ life in one’s apartment. The present findings are unique in that they show that being a plot holder in an AG in Oslo involves much more than having a leisure activity or a place to cultivate. It has health benefits, both physical and psychological. It is a way of living and makes life in the city liveable. In times of densification, it is interesting to discuss the role of the AGs from the gardener’s perspective, but also from a planning perspective.

Title: Sacred records in the landscape: the of the Dalmatian hinterland
Abstract:
This paper discusses former burial rites which resulted in memorials known as mirila. It deals with the custom of marking a temporary resting-place while transporting a deceased person, which was prevalent in the north-eastern Adriatic hinterland, manifested in the erection of mortarless stone structures, the remains of which can still be found in the landscape. The paper considers the material and symbolic components of the cultural landscape through the phenomenon of mirila in the central parts of the Croatian Adriatic hinterland: Ravni Kotari and Bukovica. At the same time, given the complexity of natural and socio-political factors, an attempt is made to establish how the custom arose in the spatial and historical context of the region.

Title: The impact of abandoned/disused marble quarries on avifauna in the anticline of Estremoz, Portugal: does quarrying add to landscape biodiversity?
Abstract:
Although the extractive operations of quarrying are often considered environmental threats, there is some evidence that abandoned quarries may have a significant positive impact on biodiversity by enhancing habitat quality for several species. In Estremoz Anticlinal, SE Portugal, many of the existing marble quarries have been inactive for decades and were abandoned without any restoration project in progress. The impact of quarry abandonment on avifauna diversity was assessed relative to reference conditions using adjacent rural fields as control areas. No significant differences were found in within-community diversity (alpha diversity) between abandoned quarries and reference sites. However, several dissimilarity indices showed a clear divergence in species composition between abandoned quarries and reference sites. Furthermore, statistically significant differences in species compositions were found between quarries abandoned for different periods. Over time, species composition becomes more similar to that observed in reference sites, reflecting ecological succession and landscape resilience to quarrying. Nevertheless, the studied quarrying landscape exhibited higher gamma and beta diversity than the former traditional landscape; thus, our results suggest that abandoned quarries, rather than damaging and destroying niches, can promote new ecological niches and significantly diversify rural landscapes.

Title: What makes rural, traditional, cultures more sustainable? Implications from conservation efforts in mountainous rural communities of Japan
Abstract:
Culture has long been considered one of the key elements characterising rurality and plays a central role in rural development. While the majority of research on cultural sustainability focuses on specific resources such as heritage or arts, few studies exist on the culture of rural production and life. Focusing on rural villages of Northeastern Japan, this study explores the key to conserving traditional, rural Japanese cultures—including slash-and-burn agriculture, using ash in cooking, and weaving cloth from plant fibres—by examining its spatial, gender, and generational variations, with semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire survey. Our analysis clarified that these regional cultures have a varied pattern of regional distribution, associated with various factors such as methods and habits of cultural practice, the state of related industries, and commodification of culture. Furthermore, in response to such factors, the cultures showed gender and generational variations of practice, with the former influenced by the segregation of roles, particularly with regard to household labour. Most cultural practices appear to be undertaken by those of advanced years, so encouraging the maintenance of this culture among the younger generation through conservation organisations is vital to revitalising its economic significance. When examining the maintenance of a culture in a particular region, it is valuable to first understand the regional, gender, and generational differences in cultural practice for the various elements from which the overall culture can be distilled.

Title: A terrain-based method for selecting potential mountain ridge protection areas in South Korea
Abstract:
Mountain ridges are valued by the Korean people as major and critical sources of natural resources and environment. Despite their recognised values, continuous exploitation and infrastructure development in forestlands have been causing large-scale degradation in mountains throughout the country. In response to this problem, our study supports recent efforts by the government to designate protection areas across the country. We build on the traditional classification of mountain ridges and apply a terrain-based spatial model to derive mountain ridge area boundaries. Based on the well-known mountain ridge system of the Korean peninsula, established in 1769, our approach was to select mountain ridgelines and boundaries using a terrain-based spatial model. The selected areas are generally located at high elevations with undulating terrain. They include a relatively large portion of ecologically important areas. A large portion of non-nationally owned forest is also found in the selected areas. Ecological importance and property rights would likely cause significant debate and conflicts among different social groups regarding designation of legally binding protection areas. Our model provides an explicit, scientific basis for the rigorous evaluation and area prioritisation as part of the protection area designation process. Application of our model can facilitate conversation on the country’s mountain ridge asset and public participation in the decision-making process.

Title: Juxtaposing a cultural reading of landscape with institutional boundaries: the case of the Masebe Nature Reserve, South Africa
Abstract:
The article explores theoretically the juxtaposition of local stories about landscape with institutional arrangements and exclusionary practices around a conservation area in South Africa. The Masebe Nature Reserve is used as a case study. The article argues that the institutional arrangements in which the nature reserve is currently positioned are too static, and consequently exclusionary, in their demarcation of boundaries. This stifles local communities’ sense of belonging to these landscapes. Hence, they strongly resent and feel alienated by the nature reserve. Their opposition and alienation often manifests in poaching. The empirical material is based on how local people living adjacent to the Masebe Nature Reserve have historically named and interpreted the area’s impressive sandstone mountains, in the process creating a sense of belonging. Juxtaposing this mostly tranquil cultural reading of the landscape to the institutional practices of boundary demarcation gives the analysis an immediate critical edge regarding issues of social justice

Title: Detecting people’s and landscape’s identity in a changing mountain landscape. An example from the northern Apennines
Abstract:
Mountain areas in the northern Apennines (Italy) were historically characterised by rural landscapes. Since the 1950s, rapid and widespread land abandonment caused large transformations in the landscape that resulted in a landscape identity crisis. Currently, many people continue to identify and associate themselves with a landscape that no longer exists, whilst others identify themselves with a future landscape that as yet does not exist. This paper explores the concept of landscape identity through empirical research based on a series of in-depth interviews, examination of the contextualised conspicuous spatial and temporal changes and consideration of individual and collective identities. Therefore, firstly, factors influencing the changes in landscape identity through time are identified and, secondly, so-called ‘tipping points’ and their consequential impacts on landscape identity loss or change are detected. Finally, it is the intention of this article to explore and discover the ways in which the concept of landscape identity can be approached and employed in a continuously changing environment.

Title: A relational approach to the implementation of the European Landscape Convention in Sweden
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention (ELC) aims to promote landscape protection, management and planning and to organise European cooperation on landscape issues. The introduction of the ELC in 2000 created a need for further theoretical work within the field of landscape research, which has historically provided a weak theoretical basis for policy implementation. In this study, a relational approach was used to investigate the ongoing ELC implementation process in Sweden, illustrating government dynamics and highlighting efforts to transform discourses and practices. The conceptual framework used comprised three analytical components (policy community, policy meaning and strategy-making practice) and the relational approach was applied at national, regional and local policy levels. The results revealed both progress and obstacles to ELC implementation in Sweden and confirmed the usefulness of the relational approach.

Title: The city of corpses? Contested urban identity and the stigma of crime in Adelaide, South Australia
Abstract:
Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia, has long been referred to as the City of Churches. This moniker denotes Adelaide to be a city of pious refinement and conservatism. Indeed, Adelaide’s landscape is replete with numerous and very beautiful churches. However, urban identities are more complex than simple landscape reflections and are constructed, contested and re-contested by actors both internal and external to a given place. Indicative of this is the alternate moniker for Adelaide as the City of Corpses. The origins of this alternate place identity lie in a series of violent crimes, serial killings and unexplained disappearances over a span of some 40 years. These crimes are said to have shocked Australia and, combined, have come to be construed as ‘signals’ that beneath Adelaide’s genteel surface something sinister lurks.

Title: Land Ownership and Property Rights in the Adirondack Park of New York, USA
Abstract: Land ownership in the United States is understood as a bundle of sticks representing rights to sell, lease, bequeath, mine, subdivide, develop, and so forth. The right of exclusion allows owners to prevent others from exercising a right of access. Historically, access and then exclusion contributed to a sense of self-determination and personal freedom in the American landscape. Governing agencies reserve four rights for their use: condemnation, regulation, taxation, and escheat. Using these rights, as well as market purchases, the State of New York has established a Forest Preserve, created an Adirondack Park, and managed private land that remains inside park boundaries. Over the past 15 years, the State has also acquired easements to obtain some rights from private landowners. These transactions have grown increasingly complex, involving not only conservation easements, to prevent subdivision and development, but also easements for access, trespass, recreation, and harvest. Special interests have become involved in the acquisition process through legal requirements as well as the need for financial assistance and technical advice. The participation of multiple actors has shaped both easements obtained by the State and rights retained by private landowners, making ownership of land an expression of social values rather than an expression of liberty and individuality.

Title: Landscape-Recreational Value: A Resource for Local Development—First Results from a Survey in a Small Mountain Valley (Sinello Valley, Vallarsa, Northern Italy)
Abstract: The landscape fulfils many different functions and provides multiple benefits in terms of goods and services for human society. For this reason, it must be conserved in its diversity, complexity and functionality. The aim of this paper is to identify which conditions have to be developed to transform the environmental features of a particular area into a source of income for the local population, and thus to set the basis for conserving natural capital by means of a management process. This opportunity results from a change in the willingness to pay (WTP) declared by the actors potentially interested in the characteristics of a given area. Clearly, modifying the WTP may imply, in some cases, the conservation of a specific site through profit-oriented management. This type of activity allows us to minimize the costs for public agencies as well as to ensure long-term sustainability. We evaluate all of this by means of three different contingent valuation surveys conducted in Sinello Valley, which is located in the north-east of Trentino (Italy).

Title: The Promise of Wilderness Between Paradise and Hell: A Cultural-Historical Exploration of a Dutch National Park
Abstract: ‘Wilderness’ is often seen as a (biophysical) ideal state in contemporary debates on ecological restoration. We ask what is left of relationships with ‘wilderness’ in present-day Western societies by drawing on a case study of the Hoge Veluwe National Park, the Netherlands. A brief history of wilderness interpretations is constructed as a backdrop to the analysis of the Veluwean land use history. Herein, wilderness aspects are conceptualised as ‘paradise-like’ or ‘hell-like’, thus providing insight into the origins, limits and dynamics of contemporary wilderness concepts. We conclude that the concept of wilderness is inherently paradoxical, and argue that wilderness paradoxes should be not be ignored, but acknowledged and valued in conservation practices.

Title: Network Ruins and Green Structure Development: An Attempt to Trace Relational Spaces of a Railway Ruin
Abstract: In recent years, ruins have come to be regarded as an asset for the revitalization of urban nature, facilitating a critique of the nature–culture divide embedded in the fabric of contemporary cities and modern planning. This paper therefore argues for investigations of relational spaces of industrial ruins in order to capture their potential within green structure planning. The breakdown of the former order and the establishment of new heterogeneous relationships need to be regarded as vital background information when reinterpreting the ruin as part of the green structure. The concept network ruin is introduced here to inspire further studies of the shattered actor-network and its inertia. In order to illustrate the concept, the paper presents a case study of the ruins related to a former railway in southern Sweden. The transformation of one part of the embankment into a multifunctional greenway is studied in detail and the process of dismantling the ruin (metaphorically and literally) within planning and the public debate is scrutinized. Finally, relational spaces of the ruin are compared with the spatially and conceptually limited discourse on the greenway, in order to illustrate the fruitfulness of a more inclusive analysis.

Title: Andalusia, Spain: An Assessment of Coastal Scenery
Abstract: The 1101 km length of the Andalusian coast (Spain) was assessed for coastal scenery at 45 specific locations. Selected areas covered resort (3), urban (19), village (8), rural (10) and remote (5) bathing areas. Scenery was analyzed for physical and human parameters via 26 selected parameters. These parameters were obtained by interviews of >500 people on European beaches. Each parameter was assessed via a one-to-five-point attribute scale, which essentially ranged from presence/absence or poor quality (1), to excellent/outstanding (5). Results were subsequently weighted by interviewing >600 bathing area users (not all 26 parameters have equal weight) and subjected to fuzzy logic mathematics in order to reduce recorder subjectivity. High weighted averages for attributes 4 and 5 (excellent/outstanding) reflected high scenic quality, vice versa for attributes 1 and 2. Sites were classified into five classes ranging from Class 1 sites having top grade scenery to Class 5, poor scenery. Seven sites each were found in Classes 1 and 2; 10 sites each in Classes 3 and 5; 11 sites in Class 4. The finest coastal scenery was found in remote areas whilst urban areas scored mainly as Class 3 or 4. Three out of the ten rural sites had Class 3 and 4 values assigned them whereas the rest scored as Class 1 and 2; village sites invariably had scores within Class 3 and 4. Of the three resort sites investigated, one scored as a Class 1 site, the others as Class 3.

Title: Effectiveness of Boundary Structures in Limiting Residential Encroachment into Urban Forests
Abstract: Urban forests provide essential functions in support of human communities; however, studies indicate adjacent residential land uses degrade urban forests following development. The resulting impacts are known as encroachment. Local Ontario governments rely primarily on passive management, such as boundary structures (e.g. fences) to limit this degradation but do not know whether they are effective for limiting the area of the forest floor covered by these impacts. Transect and quadrat sampling of 40 forest edges adjacent to 186 residential properties were sampled in six Southern Ontario municipalities to determine impact frequency and area cover of encroachment. The results indicated some structures are effective in reducing the frequency and area cover of some encroachment behaviours. Other behaviours were not significantly reduced by any structural treatment. Furthermore, some behaviours were increased by structures. Substantial areas of encroachment continued to occur under even the most effective boundary treatments. The treatment most successful in reducing frequency and area was ungated fencing in combination with a mown grass strip. It was found to reduce the incidence of yard extensions and concentrate encroachments closest to forest edges.

Title: Nature as a Model for Large-scale Planting Design: Variable Classification Method
Abstract: Two methods, the Regression Method and the Least Difference Method, for large-scale planting design resembling native plant communities had previously been developed. They involved selection of a plant palette from a native (model) plant community suitable for the site's climate and overall soil characteristics; followed by plant placement based on topo-edafic variables. The respective articles provided a basis for the development of software to be used by landscape designers. The Variable Classification Method proposed in the present paper is a simplified version that can be readily applied without requiring the development of special software. It involves: a) site analysis of the project site using the available site analysis software, b) classifying the topo-edaphic data of the grid cells on the project site along with those of the sample plots in the model community, and c) assigning species composition of the sample plots to the grid cells with matching topo-edaphic classes.

Title: Universal heritage value, community identities and world heritage: forms, functions, processes and context at a changing Mt Fuji
Abstract:
Numerous international documents underline the high identity value of cultural heritage for local communities and its potential for sustainable development. Simultaneously, the inclusion in UNESCO’s World Heritage List depends on the outstanding universal value that presumes a global community and prioritises global heritage value before the local ones. This setup holds potential tension.This paper discusses how to define heritage communities and access their heritage identities, differentiating between landscape forms, functions, processes and context. The case study of Mt Fuji World Heritage is used to illustrate the model. While global and national communities emphasise the form of the heritage and policies target the preservation of the present visual shape, the local and religious communities identify with the functions and practices embodied by the sites. Not all communities identify with the proposed interpretative context for Mt Fuji heritage value. Additional tension arises from the Eurocentric mind-set behind world heritage expertise.

Title: Mire landscapes in Estonian fiction and identity
Abstract:
Images used to promote Estonia both home and abroad frequently highlight the element of pristine nature, often represented by the mire. Mires have witnessed historical change that can be described from ecological, institutional and perceptional aspects; artistic representations of mires have been transforming as well. The article observes literary representations of mires, based on 80 Estonian works of fiction, thus tracing the Estonians’ relationship with the wetlands surrounding them and discussing the position of the mire in the evolving Estonian identity. The works derive from the past century and a half—the period when both Estonian literature and the modern Estonian nation became established. The current prevailing values emerged due to environmental ideas and advocate protecting and visiting the mires that, although not having been part of Estonians’ identity discourse historically, still constitute a facet in the image of Estonia as a country today.

Title: What matters to people? Exploring contents of landscape identity at the local scale
Abstract:
Planning policies are drivers of landscape change and affect people’s identity related to landscape. An improved understanding of landscape identity can provide insights, with a view to steering policy and planning. The concept of landscape identity is useful to explore the interaction between people and their surroundings, making identification of the ‘content’ of identity a pivotal issue. This paper aims to understand the contents of landscape identity in relation to future planning at the local scale. The case study of the municipality of Palmela (Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugal) uses a qualitative approach (focus groups with community stakeholders) to collect the meaning of the contents of identity. The results show that there are multiple local landscape identities. Some contents of identity unite, whilst others divide the community of Palmela municipality. Acknowledging the relevance and the role of each content of identity provides knowledge that can be crucial for future planning decisions.

Title: Foraging for identity: the relationships between landscape activities and landscape identity after catastrophic landscape change
Abstract:
In this article, we deal with landscape activities in relation to changing landscape identity after a major wildfire in Sweden in 2014. The aim was to investigate the relationships between 22 landscape activities (before the fire) and 2 components (emotion and cognition) of landscape identity (before and after the fire). A total of 656 respondents living nearby the fire area participated in this study. Before the fire, a positive association was found between the activities of enjoying nature and foraging, and both components of landscape identity. This suggests that the more participants enjoyed nature and picked berries and mushrooms, the stronger their attachment to the landscape (emotion), and the more they remembered and reasoned about the landscape (cognition). Post fire, these relationships were found only between the two components of landscape identity and foraging. This implies a significant role of this type of activity for keeping ‘alive’ landscape identity.

Title: Transformative actions on communities and landscapes: the case of Kaldabruna village
Abstract:
The dynamic relationship of people to landscapes changes according to the context; as regimes change the balance of power shifts, resulting in different values arising where landscapes are perceived in different ways and new landscape uses examined. Changing landscapes can bring a restoration of hope to a place. This paper examines the role that an evolving landscape, both physically and culturally, in a small, rural Latvian community played in the formation of a revitalised landscape identity. By combining new and old traditions, self-esteem rose and in turn contributed to further changes to the landscape with influence rippling outwards to neighbouring areas. We have used observation, workshops and ongoing dialogue as data collection methods at the site. We draw on historical and individual narratives to tell the story of the landscape and then draw some conclusions regarding the transformative actions upon the communities and the landscape.

Title: Tabula non-rasa: go-along interviews and memory mapping in a post-mining landscape designated for urban expansion
Abstract:
Peri-urban areas have long and diverse histories but when targeted for large-scale housing expansion, they are at risk of becoming a blank slate for development, a potential loss to both existing inhabitants and potential newcomers. In this paper, we develop a method to recover and narrate the sense of place of members of the pre-existing local community and map those memories onto specific locations and views within the landscape. Situated in a post-mining landscape on the edge of the city of Edinburgh, designated for urban expansion, our case study reveals the rich and diverse memories associated with seemingly ordinary landscape features; a stark contrast with the generic selling slogans and housing typologies presented by the developers. Deployment of methods like ours can help planners of urban redevelopment and expansion to better appreciate the sense of place of long-term residents and stimulate the process of place-making on new housing estates.

Title: Green infrastructure design using GIS and spatial analysis: a proposal for the Henares Corridor (Madrid-Guadalajara, Spain)
Abstract:
Since the late twentieth century, the concept of green infrastructure (GI) has gained increasing recognition as a valuable approach to spatial planning. Although GI is an eminently spatial element, there are still few instances where this type of infrastructure has been given explicit definition and delimitation. It is therefore necessary to develop methods capable of defining these infrastructures through explicit spatial suitability analysis of their component dimensions. Here, we present a methodology based on the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to identify and map potential areas for inclusion in a GI in the Henares Corridor (Madrid-Guadalajara, Spain). We analysed four factors (the contribution to ecosystem services, ecological connectivity, ecological status, and proximity/potential accessibility to the public), combined using multi-criteria evaluation techniques, thus offering different alternatives for defining and designing GI. The GI maps obtained show better results in less restrictive situations, which could be considered to articulate the existing protected areas.

Title: Colour in the city: a chromatic typology for the quantitative analysis of spatial coherence
Abstract:
This paper presents the implementation of a tool that can be used to characterise chromatic attributes of an urban area. The challenge is to provide statistical and quantitative answers to these questions: how is colour organised, how does it develop its own structure in the city? How can colour appear as an indicator of homogeneity and spatial coherence? We use a K-means statistical clustering technique to produce chromatic types of building façades. Once the chromatic categories are defined, the question of spatial coherence is investigated using the Shannon entropy value as an indicator. Our method was tested through an application to 18 urban fragments of the city of Liège (Belgium). The research highlights the differences between compact urban areas (historic centre, nineteenth century developments) and new urban configurations (city entrances, commercial and peri-urban zones).

Title: Integrating a resilience scorecard and landscape performance tools into a Geodesign process
Abstract:
Uncertainty about the impacts of sea-level rise make the ability to forecast future spatial conditions a necessary planning/design tool. Geodesign integrates multiple fields of science with change/impact models and planning/design strategies. Proactive planning analyses such as newly developed scorecards allow for plan evaluation; design strategies can now be quantitatively assessed using landscape performance calculators. Neither have been explored as Geodesign tools. A Geodesign process was developed using the resilience scorecard to assess flood vulnerability using projections for the 100-year floodplain with sea-level rise by 2100. Projections were used as a guide to develop a resilient master plan for League City, TX, USA. Future impacts of the plan are projected using landscape performance measures.

Title: Between a dog and a green space: applying ecosystem services theory to explore the human benefits of off-the-leash dog parks
Abstract:
Off-the-leash dog parks offer a range of benefits both to canines and humans, yet face considerable opposition. Overcoming this opposition requires a better understanding of the human benefits of dog parks and how these benefits can be facilitated through park design and location. Using a comparative case study in Perth, Western Australia, and adopting the theoretical framework of ecosystem services, this paper explores the potential of dog parks to facilitate physical activity, social interactions and stress restoration. When compared to a more traditional public green space, the case study dog park was found to have poor potential to increase physical activity, however great potential to facilitate social interactions. Results for stress restoration were less conclusive yet still promising. A ‘quantity over quality’ approach to designing and locating future dog parks is proposed, including greater utilisation of dog parks to activate under-used parkland, with areas for future research also identified.

Title: Designing an outdoor learning environment for and with a primary school community: a case study in Bangladesh
Abstract:
In Bangladesh, school grounds are usually barren areas devoid of any designed features. This study explored children’s, teachers’ and parents’ views of what would constitute an effective school ground for learning, socialising and playing at primary schools in rural Bangladesh. Working within the theory of behaviour settings to design school grounds, several methods were applied: focus groups with children, teachers and parents, a drawing session with children and a child-led/teacher supported model-making workshop. The results suggest that children want to connect with nature, to explore their environment, to challenge themselves, to be physically active and to socialise with friends. They also wanted their school ground to be more attractive. The parents highly valued gardening whereas teachers preferred an area with loose materials where the children could learn by themselves. None of these ideas were mutually exclusive and the subsequent design was able to incorporate elements from all groups.

Title: Integrating landscape services into policy and practice – a case study from Switzerland
Abstract:
Like ecosystems, landscapes provide vital services to people. However, often those services are not or only partly incorporated into landscape policy. This applied research project explores how stakeholders in landscape policy work with a Landscape Services (LS) approach. Our LS definition builds upon the Ecosystem Services (ES) definition and includes four LS with high relevance to Switzerland. We explicitly use the term ‘landscape’ instead of ‘ecosystem’ to underline multiple dimensions besides ecological issues. A transdisciplinary process with stakeholders from government agencies, trade associations, research institutes and civil society was initiated to discuss possibilities of policy integration of these LS. Best practice examples were debated and ways to better consider LS within existing policy instruments were discussed. We conclude that the results of our research and the transdisciplinary process have enabled numerous stakeholders to build the groundwork for pursuing initiatives to better recognise and ensure LS in Switzerland.

Title: The sense of place and its influence on place branding: a case study of Sanandaj natural landscape in Iran
Abstract:
This research investigates the influence of sense of place on the city’s branding through examining the significance of the natural landscape as an effective factor in the formation of the cognitive images of urban residents and visitors. For this purpose, a theoretical framework was made based on the literature review of place branding and the quality of sense of place, and next, in the experimental section of the research, the needs, preferences, perceptions, and feelings of Sanandaj residents and visitors have been investigated by conducting 41 semi-structured interviews. The result shows that, although urban natural landscape is an identifying feature that may turn into the city brand, sensing the quality of place by the residents and tourists through tangible and intangible factors are also effective factors in forming the city’s identity and image and thus the quality of city branding.

Title: Ecological homelands: towards a counter-ontopology of landscape design
Abstract:
Geographer John Wylie critiques problematic claims of belonging to place that would suggest a natural connection between people and topos. Such ontopological beliefs in a homeland rely on environmental determinism or historicization to assert an inextricable link between blood and soil formed over centuries of human occupation and use. In this article we examine ways ontopology operates in the protected areas of Aotearoa New Zealand, which as places that are understood as ‘wild’ and thus outside of the presence of people, provide an intriguing contrast for considering ontopology and how it may be approached through design. Wylie identifies two counter-ontopological positions for landscape: one an orientation towards hospitality, welcome, and sanctuary; the other seeking to destabilise homeland thinking through unsettling, dislocating, and distancing such troubling claims of belonging to place. Drawing on these directions, we examine a landscape design project undertaken by Lincoln University’s Landscope Designlab at Ararira Wetland in the South Island of Aotearoa New Zealand, which reimagines protected areas by expanding ways people might engage with them through the design of counter-ontopological forms.

Title: Politicising the landscape: a theoretical contribution towards the development of participation in landscape planning
Abstract:
In this paper, we engage with the topic of public participation in landscape planning. Academic discussions and policy rhetoric tend to build on a conceptualisation of landscape as a democratic entity, yet practices of participatory landscape planning often fall short of these ideals. Most scholars approach this rhetoric-practice gap from procedural and normative positions, defining what makes a successful participatory process. We take an alternative approach, scrutinising the role of landscape planning theory in participatory shortcomings, and reveal how poor substantive theorisation of ‘the political’ nature of landscapes contributes to the difficulties in realising participatory ideals. We engage theoretically with the political dimension, conceptualising and explaining the implications that differences, conflicts and power relations have for participation in landscape planning, that is, politicising the landscape. This theoretical engagement helps bring about a much-needed realignment of substantive theory, procedural theory and practice for developing participation in landscape planning.

Title: Cultural landscape meanings. The case of West Lake, Hangzhou, China
Abstract:
In this paper, we examine nuances in ways of seeing and understanding the World Heritage listed West Lake Cultural Landscape, Hangzhou China, through different eyes. The paper briefly introduces the current debate on claimed differences and convergences between Western and Eastern mind sets in heritage conservation and then moves into reviewing the human side of landscape. We then examine the perspectives of international heritage agencies such as UNESCO and ICOMOS and those of Chinese counterparts involved in the nomination and assessment process of West Lake for World Heritage Listing in 2011, and then review the perceptions of Chinese tourists. Underlying the inquiry are two fundamental questions. First, to what extent do international agencies understand the meaning of cultural landscape in a Chinese context? Second, what do Chinese tourists feel about a nationally renowned Chinese example of a cultural landscape in the international spotlight?

Title: Landscape perception: linking physical monitoring data to perceived landscape properties
Abstract:
Changes in the landscape affect not only people’s well-being but also how people perceive and use the landscape. An increasing number of policies have highlighted the importance of conserving a landscape’s recreational and aesthetical values. This study develops and evaluates a model that links people’s perceptions of a mountain landscape to physical monitoring data. Using a questionnaire, we revealed how respondents working with the Swedish mountains characterise the Magnificent Mountain landscape (as defined by Swedish policy objectives) and translated these characteristics into data from the National Inventory of Landscapes in Sweden (NILS). We found 14 potential indicators that could be derived from the existing NILS physical monitoring data and which could be used to monitor changes in the landscape values as perceived by people. Based on the results, we suggest how to simultaneously utilise field sampling of physical data and field photos to provide temporal information about landscape perception.

Title: Wadis as dryland river parks: challenges and opportunities in designing with hydro-ecological dynamics
Abstract:
Dryland rivers (wadis in Arabic) are characterised by high levels of flow unpredictability due to their severe dry-wet hydrological regimes. In the Arabian Peninsula, recent attention has focused on revitalising the socio-ecological values of wadis by rejuvenating them as linear public parks. In this paper, we review the key hydro-ecological characteristics of wadis and examine a range of design responses to address their dynamics in urban areas. Three case studies of recent and ongoing rehabilitation projects in Muscat, Oman, were spatially analysed and interviews with stakeholders involved in the projects were conducted. Design strategies and system-based approaches were suggested, including taking account of the hydro-ecological processes and relationships across multiple spatial and temporal scales, interdisciplinary collaborations, and testing the systems’ performance through design experimentation. The findings can be applied to the rehabilitation of ephemeral rivers in dry and drying environments globally.

Title: The effect of landscape colour, complexity and preference on viewing behaviour
Abstract:
What we comprehend and recollect in a landscape is closely related to how we look; therefore, attention to and understanding of human viewing behaviour is required. In our study, we employed eye-tracking technology as a means to understand visual perception. The objective of this study is to examine the relationships among landscape characteristics, landscape preference and viewing behaviour. A total of 45 subjects were asked to view 20 sets of photographs freely in a two-by-two display. Same landscape types were grouped together. The results indicated that higher hue variation and chroma encourages visual fixation. A strong relationship was identified between landscape preference and fixation count in mountain, aquatic and forest landscapes. People tend to have different preferences and different viewing behaviour while viewing different landscape types. It is concluded that magenta-green variation, yellow-blue colour field, and hue variation is an important factor in mountain, aquatic, and open landscapes, respectively.

Title: Designing sustainable urban landscape and meeting the challenge of climate change: a study of plant species adaptation and fitness under different climate change scenarios in public landscape of UK
Abstract:
There is much evidence to indicate the climate is changing. In order to investigate the effects of climate change on the designed landscape in the UK and suggest new plant species for using in the UK greenspace, according to the 2050 UK climate change scenario, 12 climate change scenarios were designed and simulated. Eighteen plant species, native to Western Europe, the Mediterranean area, and the Southern Rocky Mountain Region were chosen to represent a gradient from well fitted to poorly fitted to the current British climate. Plant species seedlings were grown in situ under 450 and 900 ppm of CO2 concentration with three watering regime rates and two different temperature treatments. The plant response of the community and individual species to CO2 concentration, changing precipitation, temperature and interaction effects of these environmental factors on designed plant community in urban areas were investigated. The results indicated that a mix of maritime climate species and southern European, Mediterranean climate species which showed a high level of sustainability in current and future UK climate scenarios, is recommended to design a multi-layer plant community and dynamic public landscape.

Title: Possibilities and limitations of passive restoration of heavily disturbed sites
Abstract:
Passive restoration, which relies exclusively on natural processes and technical reclamation, which intervenes strongly into the restoration process, represent the extremes of a restoration action continuum. Between the extremes, we consider various degrees of active restoration. We suggest a general scheme to determine which approach to use based on site conditions, landscape context and societal circumstances. We conclude that passive restoration should usually be preferred in smaller sites with low abiotic stress and moderate productivity that are recovering from moderate disturbances. A passive approach may also be preferred in those landscapes that are less altered by humans, where target species are common and both invasive aliens and strong competitive generalists are rare. In such landscapes, passive restoration may succeed even if initial disturbances are intense. Potential of passive restoration has not yet been fully utilised. Passive restoration is viable economically and can produce multiple social and ecological benefits.

Title: Chronotope as a framework for landscape experience analysis
Abstract:
The paper explores the analysability of landscape experience and the interpretation enabled by the concept of the chronotope. Beyond its potential for a holistic study of texts, the chronotope can also be applied in landscape studies. In geography, the chronotope has primarily been used for analysis within three different areas: discourses and narratives, spatiotemporal sense of everyday places and biological spaces. Our aim is to show the applicability of the chronotope in the experiential aspect of landscape studies. Experiencing the landscape implies a dialogic understanding of action in a situation including the subject’s interrelationship with the environment. We examine how the subjective experience of an abandoned landscape is internally multiple and has significant value for imagination and meaning-making. The example analysed is an Estonian architect’s description of his visit to Hashima Island, Japan, and focuses on three levels of chronotopes—the topographic, the psychological and the metaphysical.

Title: Cultural landscape protection at Lake Victoria, a managed water supply
Abstract:
Lake Victoria is a freshwater lake in south western New South Wales, Australia which holds water from the Murray River. It is owned by the South Australian government to ensure downstream supply of water to South Australia. The pastoral landscape is arid and comprises the Lake, 32 km in circumference, and the surrounding dune systems. The dunes contain many Aboriginal burials and artefacts especially on the eastern side of the Lake. Changing legislative requirements for protection of Aboriginal cultural heritage led to the introduction of new management approaches at Lake Victoria. These included: preparation of a cultural landscape plan of management, a revised Lake operating strategy and the creation of an overseeing advisory committee with a majority of Aboriginal members. Over two decades, this commitment to cultural landscape management has been successful in conserving the place’s cultural heritage values. The steps undertaken, the outcomes and challenges ahead are discussed.

Title: Borders and border people in the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier
Abstract:
In southern Africa, transfrontier conservation areas (hereafter TFCAs) are founded on the principle of reshaping borders for conservation-related objectives. Proponents of TFCAs perceive borders as a legacy of colonialism and as fragmenting habitats. It could be argued that this reasoning renders borders irrational and irrelevant. The aim of this study is to investigate how redesigning of border landscapes to establish TFCAs affects border people. The paper argues that while such newly-created transnational spaces prioritise biodiversity conservation and privilege/promote commercial stakeholders and enterprises, they overlook and indeed impose costs on border people. Thus, the creation of TFCAs is not for locals as claimed by its proponents, but is rather a landscape devoted to nature conservation and commercial enterprises. To advance this argument, the study uses the Greater Mapungubwe Transfrontier Conservation Area (GMTFCA) on the Botswana-South Africa–Zimbabwe borderlands as the case study.

Title: Everyday use of urban street spaces: the spatio-temporal relations between pedestrians and street vendors: a case study in Yuncheng, China
Abstract:
In contemporary Chinese cities dynamic street vendors are a common presence, frequently occupying spaces where many people regularly walk, leading to functional changes to the streets. This research aim was to examine the everyday use of urban streets at a micro-scale, to explore spatio-temporal relations between the fixed built environment and the ways in which vendors and pedestrians co-produce walkable space and walking behaviours over time. Using field observation and behaviour mapping, we compared spatio-temporal data and spatial patterns of street activities over four daily periods of three urban street spaces in the medium-sized city of Yuncheng. The results indicate that such activities produce environment-behaviour interactions and socio-spatial relations, which leads to an understanding of how city life occurs. The conclusions suggest that vending is important for giving life to urban areas and increasing residents’ physical activity, so that urban governors and designers should consider how to facilitate it better.

Title: Exploring the ways in which campus open space design influences students’ learning experiences
Abstract:
Recent research conducted on campus learning environments suggests that more learning takes place outside of class time than ever before; thus, students seek alternative learning spaces in campus settings. This research focuses on open spaces within university campuses, defined as ‘campus open spaces’, as alternative learning settings and aims at answering the following questions: 1) How is learning experienced in campus open spaces? 2) What are the design attributes of learning in campus open spaces? 3) Do design attributes significantly affect learning in campus open spaces?The paper presents an exploratory inquiry conducted with 60 students from the campus of Middle East Technical University, Turkey. By using qualitative and quantitative techniques, the paper validates that learning is experienced not only in formal learning spaces but also in informal open spaces. It presents the ways in which campus open space design influences students’ learning, offering recommendations for campus open space design.

Title: Urban socio-ecological dynamics: applying the urban-rural gradient approach in a high Andean city
Abstract:
The urban-rural dichotomy and the simple cause-effect relationship do not allow establishing specific criteria for territorial management from a socio-ecological perspective. The gradient approach could be a powerful tool to understand urban socio-ecological dynamics. This research applied a methodological protocol to obtain urban-rural gradients while considering the specific characteristics of a mid-size Andean city. To achieve this goal, a mixed classification process was applied to a Landsat 8 image. Subsequently, a factor analysis (FA) grouped 25 urbanisation variables. Finally, we applied agglomerative hierarchical clustering.FA established four factors that explained (72%) of the urbanisation metrics’ variation. From this information, we obtained factor maps and a gradient map. The resulting map differentiated six gradients that contrast with the city’s territorial planning based on the urban-rural dichotomy. This study is a starting point to apply the gradient approach in land-use management and urban ecology planning for Andean cities.

Title: Conserving novel ecosystems and layered landscapes along the inter-German border
Abstract:
For forty years, Germany was cut in two, its internal border a legacy of the Second World War and ground zero of the Cold War. But the border region, shaped for decades by demographic and economic decline, became an ecological refuge for many of Germany’s endangered plant and animal species. When the wall fell in 1989, conservationists launched an effort to protect the former borderlands and convert them into an ecological corridor called the Green Belt. This paper explores the novel ecosystems along the Green Belt: one a restoration and rewilding project, the other aimed at maintaining the imprint of the Cold War landscape. It shows how conservation of novel ecosystems in Germany and beyond requires a long-range approach that emphasizes opportunism, multifunctionality, experimentation, a flexible interpretation of historical fidelity, and respect for both emergent ecosystems and the deep layers of human history and memory.

Title: Using chorographic sources to reconstruct past agro-forestry systems. A methodological approach based on the study case of the northern Apennines
Abstract:
Historical-geographical (chorographic) descriptions provide some of the earliest formal documentation about landscape. We propose a methodological approach aimed at reconstructing a spatial-explicit picture of the agroforestry system of a eighteenth-century landscape, detecting the main land-use drivers, and analysing existing legacies of past agro-forestry productivity in the present landscape. The study area was the Bologna Apennines, and our data source was a chorographic dictionary from 1781–83. We obtained a matrix of 240 administrative units per 18 agro-forestry products with related productivity indices. Multivariate analysis showed that environmental constraints influenced products and productivity. Agricultural areas (and related products) mainly shaped the hillside, while forests and semi-natural areas (and related products) characterized the mountainside. Such former clustering is still recognizable: agricultural land mostly changed to artificial land-cover, whereas semi-natural areas and forests still exist. The proposed approach confirms that chorography can be a useful tool as a primary source in landscape research.

Title: How to survey, model, and measure rockeries in a Chinese classical garden: a case study for Huanxiu Shanzhuang, Suzhou, China
Abstract:
Rockeries, which imitate nature in a special form, are an essential element of Chinese classical garden design and one of the most fascinating features that distinguish Chinese culture from other traditions of the world. This study takes rockeries in Huanxiu Shanzhuang—one of the exceptional rockeries in China—as an example to study the methods of digital survey, documentation and research of Chinese cultural heritage. Using techniques of terrestrial laser scanning and digital photogrammetry, this study made surveys, 3D models and morphometric measurements of piled mountains and single monoliths in Huanxiu Shanzhuang. A survey and document approach for different kinds of rockeries in Chinese classical gardens was studied by comparing the related techniques applied in different situations. Using the methods studied in this research, rockeries in Huanxiu Shanzhuang were documented and measured.

Title: Floating architecture in the landscape: climate change adaptation ideas, opportunities and challenges
Abstract:
Opportunities exist for radical strategies, driven by spatial planning, to adapt our urban fabric to climate change. Floating developments are one such innovation. This phenomenon and its ideas are driven by a variety of societal forces, including by population pressure, rapid urbanisation, the resulting need for additional housing inventory, by urban adaptation strategies to counter fluvial flooding and sea level rise, plus interests in urban landscape renewal. We reflect on seventeen projects in five countries and note that, to date, it is inner city harbours or industrial areas in decline that are being targeted for floating communities. These can add renewal, recreational and landscape value, while simultaneously expanding the existing urban housing stock.

Title: 12 years after: lessons from incremental changes in open spaces in a slum-upgrading project
Abstract:
While slum upgrading usually focus on shelter and basic infrastructure, few accounts document how open spaces in upgraded neighbourhoods change over the years, and post occupancy evaluations of whether these open spaces meet community needs are scarce. To address this knowledge gap, the study revisited two areas in a slum-upgrading project in Baseco, a landfill on Manila Bay densely populated by the urban poor. We documented changes in open spaces over 12 years and identified three challenges; 1) a lack of community buy-in to NGO-led initiatives; 2) a mismatch between designed facilities and resident preferences and/or needs; 3) disproportionate allocation of resources to new construction projects vs. maintenance of constructed projects. The findings suggest that better neighbourhood outcomes can be achieved by: 1) better understanding community needs and livelihood patterns; 2) re-examining the appropriateness of design and planning standards for informal contexts; and 3) emphasising resident participation and leadership from the start.

Title: Iconographical landscape warfare
Abstract:
Iconographical landscape warfare is one example of conflict that refers to a broad spectrum of encounters between opposing social groups who share a common reading of cultural landscapes. This 'warfare' ranges from expressions of violent force to seemingly banal everyday practices. Iconographical landscape warfare works through a dual process of denaturalising/renaturalising landscapes, where the interpretations of certain features are either erased or reinforced. I offer an overview of three examples: firstly, the case of a palimpsest in Seoul, where the dispute over a particular cultural land scape icon revealed tensions between two social groups; secondly, the deployment of symbolically antagonistic landscape objects in Hong Kong within a single social group with a unified reading of the cultural landscape; finally, a conflict surrounding an iconic landmark in Auckland. Taken together, these examples reveal the way objects can be deployed in a landscape to affect change, and how these actions are often resisted and subverted.

Title: A landscape and landscape biography approach to assessing the consequences of an environmental policy implementation
Abstract:
Assessing outcomes of agri-environmental policy implementations is complex. Traditional parametric methods such as using key indicators can miss outcomes that are displaced in time and space, seldom account for the integrated nature of social and biophysical dynamics, and may overlook unintended consequences. This project aimed to overcome these drawbacks by using a landscape biography approach to analyse an innovative agri-environmental policy experiment around Lake Taupo, New Zealand. Landscape biographies were developed for each of three embedded cases, analysed as socio-ecological systems focused on relationships at different spatial scales. Landscape development paths were identified and a future trajectory estimated. The multiscale approach revealed unforeseen consequences of the policy regime, enabled a more comprehensive portrayal of social and landscape outcomes, and made complex interactions and processes understandable and accessible.

Title: Plant community composition on landfill sites after multiple years of ecological restoration
Abstract:
Ecological restoration of closed landfill sites is often challenging due to poor soil structure and seed bank. Currently, the planting mixes used in closed landfills in Hong Kong involved mainly exotic trees with only a small proportion of native trees and shrubs. In this study, we investigated the vegetation regeneration in seven closed landfill sites in Hong Kong. Our Generalised Linear Mixed Models suggested that native plant regeneration, species diversity and evenness were positively influenced by restoration age as well as density and diversity of native species planted. Commonly planted exotic tree species were shown to persist which explained the poorer native regeneration. It is recommended to improve the planting mixes by increasing the proportion of native species. Despite the merit provided by exotic legumes for ecosystem services (e.g. nitrogen fixation), removal of exotic species in the existing plantations is considered necessary to release resources for natural regeneration.

Title: Estimates of deforestation avoided by protected areas: a case study in Brazilian tropical dry forests and Cerrado
Abstract:
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the creation of protected areas (PAs) to avoid deforestation using Matching methods, focusing on the north of the Minas Gerais state, Brazil. Using GIS (Geographic Information System) techniques, we randomly distributed several 3 ha plots across the study region. The deforestation rates in plots inside and outside PAs were compared using Matching analysis. Our results indicate that the PAs created in the north of Minas Gerais in the 1990s were effective in reducing deforestation, though avoided deforestation rates have been relatively low (1.62% from 1996 to 2009). Geographical location was a key factor for PAs effectiveness and plots inside PAs in flat regions or close to large cities and roads had a greater impact on avoided deforestation. The results of this study corroborate a global trend of establishment of PAs in remote areas under low deforestation pressure.

Title: Vegetation series as a marker of interactions between rural settlements and landscape: new insights from the archaeological record in Western Sicily
Abstract:
Plant communities are complex and dynamic elements of the landscape, intertwined with both natural factors and human activities. Vegetation series reflect the environmental characteristics of the landscape, but also the anthropic impact, one of the exogenous forces that most profoundly affects the landscape formation process. This paper aims to investigate the interactions between long-term human settlement catchment areas and vegetation series. The case study area of the Sicani Mountains (Central-Western Sicily) proved to be an ideal place to perform GIS-based spatial analysis in order to compare a data set of rural archaeological sites and land units created through the mapping of vegetation series. The existence of a causal link between vegetation series and human settlement patterns allows us, as well as future researchers, to find new explanations for the formation of the multifaceted Mediterranean rural landscape.

Title: Visitors’ preferences for landscape conservation in Alpine environments:Differences across regions, conservation programmes, and socio-economic groups
Abstract:
In many regions, the scenic beauty of landscapes, and a high degree of ‘naturalness’, are paramount for tourism. The focus of the paper is on empirical estimates of the benefits of nature conservation programs in regard to different degrees of naturalness in two regions in the Austrian Alps. The results of an on-site survey indicate that most respondents would accept stricter nature conservation policies including restrictions of access to ecologically sensitive areas. The respondents indicated a willingness to pay of at least EUR 1.50 per person a night for improved conservation programs. The results suggest that these tourists not only prefer policies that improve naturalness, they actually expect them. It should be noted that the preferences of tourists differ between regions, as well as socio-economic attributes. The concept of the degree of naturalness may facilitate the transfer of benefits to other regions.

Title: The relationship between Mediterranean built environment and outdoor physical activity: evidence from GPS and accelerometer data among young adults in Barcelona
Abstract:
Having identified a set of geographic-based considerations, this study aims to analyse physical activity (PA) engagement and its relationship with its hosting environment in a Mediterranean metropolis. This is conducted based on GPS and accelerometer data from a sample of young adults living in different neighbourhood types. The results of the study show how outdoor moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in Barcelona mainly takes place on the streets. In accordance with previous research, green areas are also associated with PA, yet other urban spaces such as the street emerge as relevant while presenting significant intra-metropolitan differences. The main implication of this study is that geographically contextualised interpretations of the relationship between the built environment and PA may inform both future research and also targeted policies aimed at promoting regular outdoor physical activity.

Title: Combining GPS and space syntax analysis to improve understanding of visitor temporal–spatial behaviour: a case study of the Lion Grove in China
Abstract:
Visitor tracking combined with space analysis has recently emerged as a method for understanding the relationship between visitor temporal–spatial behaviour and spatial features. In this study, 353 visitors were tracked using handheld GPS data loggers to enable calculation of visiting proportion, average time, and average speed in each space within the Lion Grove. Using ArcGIS to superimpose tracks and conduct a kernel density analysis, the popular and less-popular spaces were determined. The characteristics of the different spatial features were then analysed using Depthmap. The Spearman correlation was then employed to analyse the relationship between visitor temporal–spatial behaviour and the characteristic values of different spaces. The results demonstrate that walking accessibility decides the probability of a first-time visit, while the main factors attracting visitors to stay depends on the visual characteristics of the space, such as visual accessibility and visual permeability.

Title: Among rewilding mountains: grassland conservation and abandoned settlements in the Northern Apennines
Abstract:
Due to agricultural abandonment and the urban preference for ‘wilderness’ over ‘rural’ areas, abandoned settlements and rewilding grasslands are often the last traces of agriculture in today’s protected areas of the Northern Apennines. However, since the late 1990s, an increasing number of policy makers have appreciated these spatial manifestations of the nature/culture gestalt and developed projects to conserve the last grasslands in rewilding protected areas. Does the land cover reflect these changing attitudes? Using the Foreste Casentinesi National Park as our case in point, we aim to (1) detect land cover changes during 1990–2001 and 2001–2010; (2) analyse change trajectories; and (3) reveal potential discrepancies between the conservation of biodiversity and rural built heritage. Our results show that grassland loss dominated 1990–2001, whereas grassland maintenance/restoration can be observed for 2001–2010. However, the decadence of the rural built heritage seems to continue.

Title: Heathland farm as a new commons?
Abstract:
The Dutch heathlands have been redefined in the last century. They have gone from being largely commons under a pastoral regime developed and performed by cooperating local residents of varying backgrounds, to becoming protected nature areas run by eco-managerial professionals. At the same time, farming is becoming an increasingly industrialised agribusiness under equally professionalised farm managers. This has resulted in the landscape being divided between a high-tech agriculture and high-science ecology that seeks thereby to balance and compensate for the anthropocentric loss of nature in core agricultural areas by promoting an ‘anti-anthropic’ rewilding on the margins. Now, however, there is a growing reaction to this polarisation leading to new forms of contemporary ‘commons’ as a cultural natural landscape exemplified here by the introduction of the ‘Heathland Farm’ as a basis for alternative forms of agro-environmental use.

Title: The effects of EU policies on preserving cultural landscape in the Alps
Abstract:
Agriculture is among the main drivers of Alpine cultural landscape diversity. Therefore the specific integration of landscape diversity into the European Union’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) objectives can potentially have an important effect on cultural landscape diversity. This paper presents an evaluation of a selected set of CAP’s agricultural measures and their impact on this diversity, using quantitative analysis combined with expert qualitative evaluation. Our hypothesis is that although the CAP’s measures consider landscape diversity up to a point, they are too general to embrace the diversity of European landscapes and may have unwanted impacts for the diversity of Alpine landscapes.

Title: Why public policies face difficulties in protecting mountain pastoral landscapes: some lessons from the history of the volcanic landscape of the Chaîne des Puys / Limagne fault, France
Abstract:
The ‘Chaîne des Puys/Limagne fault’ is a unique landscape located in the French Massif Central, and famous for its original and perfect landforms. For more than 400 years, it has been subjected to various local, national, and European policies intended to protect its ‘natural’ and open aspect. Though these landscapes look natural, they are the result of interactions between local forest- and grassland-management practices, natural vegetation dynamics, and regulation by environmental policies. Some parts of the area have seen their biodiversity and landscape quality increase, but others have been abandoned or forested, resulting in closed landscapes and reduced biodiversity. Based on a review and a systemic analysis of the policies, this article aims to analyse the reasons for their lack of effectiveness, and propose some principles that can help future policies to be more effective in protecting mountain grazing landscapes with the support of local communities.

Title: Governing mountain landscapes collectively: local responses to emerging challenges within a systems thinking perspective
Abstract:
Alpine cultural landscapes are the result of a long process of social-ecological coevolution, and today face dramatic changes and risks, such as depopulation and abandonment of traditional land use. Some communities seem to adapt better and are benefiting from the changes, compared to others, which are losing their population and identity. Historic collective property institutions and traditional ecological knowledge play a key role. The direction of local development appears to be driven by the interaction of three main forces: culture, multiple-level governance and the local economy.We propose a systems thinking approach to unravel the complexities, highlighting causal connections and interdependency. Focusing on two study areas around Alpine forest-pasture ecotones, where the driving forces mentioned have a major impact, we recognised some general structures that can foster a social learning process by merging different sources of knowledge, promoting advanced understanding of their complexity and better strategies responding to emerging challenges.

Title: England's 'Lake District' and the 'North Atlantic Archipelago': A body of managed land contra a body politic
Abstract:
According to the European Landscape Convention landscape means an area, as perceived by people, whose character is the result of the action and interaction of natural and/or human factors. The meaning of landscape depends on how people perceive and, in turn, interpret a landscape, which, in a circular way, effects again how people perceive the landscape. Perception thereby involves both the sensing of landscape and the constituting of the landscape that one senses. This article counterpoises the perception of landscape as a body of land generated by the enclosure of common land and the perception generated through the use of unenclosed common land by a body of people, and the concomitantly differing perceptions of the nature of the relation between the natural and the human. It will make the distinction drawing upon the case of England’s ‘Lake District’ as perceived in the context of a suggested North Atlantic archipelago.

Title: Biodiversity, livelihoods and struggles over sustainability in Nepal
Abstract:
Nepal’s impoverished mountain communities benefited after the 1950s through Swiss-style cheese-making from yak-cow hybrids. This relieved the drop in economic opportunities after Chinese occupation of Tibet. Income-generating transhumant dairy pastoralism subsequently suffered from state environmental management by national parks in the 1970s. This prioritised ‘wild’ landscape in accordance with international trends and tourism values, instead of the biological and cultural diversity of the traditional landscape. The impractical nature–culture binarism of nature protection eventually yielded to less misanthropic policy regimes involving buffer zones in the late 1990s. In the 2010s, climate change agendas have revived the binary protectionist approach, at the expense of local land use practices, due to the perceived need to protect eco-system services of the mountainsides in the era of the Anthropocene. This paper tracks oscillations of national and international policy, and the abilities of indigenous people to participate in transitioning to more sustainable landscapes.

Title: Alpine landscapes in the Anthropocene: alternative common futures
Abstract:
Alpine landscapes with their melting glaciers and loss of biodiversity represent the epoch of the Anthropocene. In this article, the Anthropocene is understood as a concept that shifts the focus on landscapes as assemblages of entangled human, geological, biological, and meteorological actors that enables a new form of telling stories about human–environment relationships. In the first part, I discuss in the example of Ötzi, the Ice Man, the nature of shifting borders and the agency of mountains. In the second part, I reactivate post-war Swiss Volkskunde (folklore studies) and anthropological studies about the role of Alpine pastures as commons, complemented by a case study from Grisons, Switzerland. The focus on entanglements and storytelling outlines alternative common futures as an epistemological and ontological challenge and as defined by communal work and the commonality of people and things.

Title: The role of landscape planning in Israel’s national schemes: natural versus cultural scenery
Abstract:
From the early Zionist settlement of Palestine (late 19th century), landscape planning in Palestine consisted of not only territorial planning but also of symbolic image and scenery planning, reflecting the role of the scenery for people’s identity, national pride, and source of income. This study analyses the different approaches to the concept of landscape in several of Israel’s national schemes and related legislations. In general, during the pre-state period, the image of the country was intended to represent both the connection to the nation’s biblical past and the modern era. Later, during the early state period, the natural landscape won prestige, and early parks were designed to appear natural, regretting the hectic development of the first decades of statehood. The emergence of the concept of the ‘cultural landscape’ (mainly since mid-1990s), changed preservation and development policies in accordance with global and local nationalistic tendencies.

Title: Visions of landscape photography in Palestine and Israel
Abstract:
Landscape photography is a visual construction of nature. Viewing recurrent representations of landscape photographs can contribute to the creation of national and political visual heritages, appropriation, and cultural claims over lands. Thus, landscape photographs serve as mediums for influencing political agendas and ideologies. These ideas are illustrated in this study by analysing European, Palestinian, and Zionist landscape photographs of the Holy Land (Zion/Palestine) from the middle of the nineteenth century and up to contemporary artistic Israeli photography. I contend that landscape photography was employed as a political tool at the hands of European and pre-statehood, Zionist photography for cultural land appropriation in their political struggles, while local Palestinian documentation was absent from this arena.

Title: Small and large heritage of the Great War: an archaeology of a prisoner of war camp in Tuchola, Poland
Abstract:
The centenaries of the outbreak and end of the Great War have caused a renewed social, cultural, and scientific interest in the complex nature of the conflict as well as its manifold consequences. Archaeology has been actively involved in re-discovering the material imprint of the Great War on various local landscapes. This paper discusses the application of, and recent advancements in, non-invasive archaeology of the Great War in Poland, taking research at a prisoner of war (PoW) camp in Tuchola, Poland as a case study. Through an analysis of the historical, oral, and material records related to the opening, operating, and closing of the camp, we intend to present recent analyses and discoveries related to the Tuchola camp and indicate the role of archaeological research with regards to such archaeological landscapes as PoW camps dated to the Great War.

Title: What future for decommissioned historic irrigation canals? Crafting new identities in the Lower Ter (Spain)
Abstract:
Historic irrigation canals are valuable socioecological systems capable of delivering several ecological and cultural services. However, ecological modernisation initiatives are leaving decommissioned ditches in limbo. A case study strategy is used to analyse the history of a decommissioned 700-year-old canal network in northeastern Spain and the unexpected intervention of several stakeholders who have attempted to redefine the former canals through new uses. The study relies on the analysis of documents and eight semistructured interviews with key stakeholders. We argue that this case reflects a policy failure in the application of multifunctionality, integrative planning and social participation principles presumably ingrained in European policies. The replacement of such principles with monosectoral action under a productivity paradigm, function segregation and a neoliberal management approach should be balanced with greater institutional commitment, increased coordination between stakeholders and rigorous planning controls if ecological and cultural functions and services are to be preserved.

Title: The disappearance of public paths in Spain and its impact on landscape justice
Abstract:
The public paths network in Spain constitutes state property in the public domain which is endangered by disappearance or misappropriation. This exploratory article asks how this situation has an impact on the right to the landscape. We provide an overview of the situation of public paths in Spain, as well as examples from six case studies, which reveals that much conflict stems from changes in their use and the practices related to them. Public pathways play a key role in the perception of the territory, and their disappearance entails landscape injustices which we need to distinguish from landscapes of injustice.

Title: Using social media data in understanding site-scale landscape architecture design: taking Seattle Freeway Park as an example
Abstract:
Social media is a fast-growing area in built environment studies used to understand public opinions and landscape usage. As most literature focuses on regional topics, this paper marks a pilot effort to study site-scale issues using social media data. Taking the Seattle Freeway Park as an example, 3314 Instagram posts from 2035 users for three years (2015–2017) were mined and categorised to answer two research questions: (1) how is Seattle Freeway Park used as a public space? (2) what are the users’ emotional or affective ties to the built environment of Seattle Freeway Park? An analytic procedure for analysing and understanding site-scale crowdsourcing data was developed and introduced. The results bring new perspectives and insights about public space design by discussing the associations between park usage in terms of design features, publicity, and climate.

Title: Effects of evergreen trees on landscape preference and perceived restorativeness across seasons
Abstract:
Season is an important factor influencing preference and psychological restoration, especially in temperate regions. Evergreen plants can mediate landscape changes across seasons and increase greenness when deciduous trees are leafless. However, what are the impacts of evergreen plants on preference and restoration? The answers are still unknown and important to research. To address this gap this study conducted an experiment, in which, based on four photographs taken on a site in four seasons, 24 images were created using the photomontage technique by adding evergreen trees to the original pictures. The results indicated that: (1) evergreen plants significantly improved the landscape preference only in spring; (2) significant effects of evergreen plants on psychological restoration in spring, autumn and winter were noted and (3) types and amounts of evergreen trees had non-significant impacts on year-round preference and restoration. Additionally, seasonal transformation had an essential impact on both preference and restoration.

Title: Describing and mapping where people experience tranquillity. An exploration based on interviews and Flickr photographs
Abstract:
Protecting tranquil areas is becoming an important objective for landscape planning and management. In order to identify where people experience tranquillity, we developed a hybrid approach combining field-based interviews with an analysis of social media content in the form of photographs with associated tags and coordinates from the photo-sharing website Flickr. In a case study in the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park in Scotland, interviewed respondents reported high tranquillity ratings even when relatively close to roads and traffic noise. Mapping the distribution of Flickr photographs revealed that many people took photographs and tagged them with words related to tranquillity in easily accessible areas, often close to water bodies. Our results indicate that people find tranquillity in certain landscapes despite the presence of other people or traffic noise, which highlights the importance of taking into account tranquillity ‘as experienced’ for the purposes of planning and policy-making.

Title: All-ecology – Hägerstrand’s thinking about human-environment interactions
Abstract:
In the urgent search for pathways towards more sustainable futures, one major conceptual issue is how to reframe the relationship between humans and their environment. To this end, this article explores Torsten Hägerstrand’s thinking about human–environment interactions and reflects on how it is related to more recent approaches, given their potential contributions to understanding and managing sustainability challenges. Several of Hägerstrand’s texts, selected for their relevance to the human–environment interface, are examined, seeking key aspects of his human–environment ontology, his perspective on humans in relation to non-humans, and what he perceived as his contributions to environmental management. Certain attention is given to Hägerstrand’s understanding of ‘landscape’. The article concludes that in seeking sustainable pathways, Hägerstrand’s ideas have potential for improving contemporary science on sustainability issues, comprehending the materiality of humans and their actions, adding to the multiple perspectives needed to address the complexity of sustainability challenges, and improving interdisciplinarity.

Title: Diagramming the social: exploring the legacy of Torsten Hägerstrand’s diagrammatic landscapes
Abstract:
Torsten Hägerstrand’s work was influential to the emergence of human geography as a theoretically sophisticated social science. Focusing on the materiality of everyday life, and the complex ecological webs through which human society is made, his writings offered an original set of tools to think about the how and where of communal life. Nonetheless, in much of the North American and British academy, Hägerstrand’s work has been relegated to a disciplinary footnote; a writer whose work has been overtaken by more recent developments in social theory. This article re-evaluates the contemporary relevance of Hägerstrand’s thought. Drawing on examples, it explores how the social time-space diagramming developed by Hägerstrand might be productively reinterpreted and reconfigured. Rather than thinking of Hägerstrand’s work as being made redundant by subsequent theoretical advances, this paper demonstrates how his work still offers social scientists useful tools to describe the worlds they study.

Title: Hägerstrand as historian: innovation, diffusion and the processual landscape
Abstract:
Torsten Hägerstrand explored innovation and diffusion as chorological processes but also as chronological processes. His strong interest in time brought him closer to the field of history which he saw as a key dimension of geography. His early work was founded on detailed studies of regional migration and innovation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Throughout his career, he returned to historical dimensions of cities, regions, landscapes, technology, heritage, transport, or any subject he worked on. His growing interest in ecological and environmental dimensions of geography and social change was later condensed in his concept förloppslandskapet—the processual landscape. This paper is focused on how Hägerstrand argued for historical approaches to landscape studies, and how he used history in pragmatic, yet original ways to shape his unique formulations of landscape, foreboding integrative strands of both geography and history playing out in the first decades of the twenty-first century.

Title: Decoding infrastructural terrain: the landscape fabric along the Sincan-Kayaş commuter line in Ankara
Abstract:
The rise of railways as urbanistic and landscape opportunities has generated new tracks in theory and practise. Apart from being decisive in the formation and development of the urban fabric, railways have also manipulated rural and urban landscape. With their surrounding land and integrated (sub)(infra)structure, they manifest infrastructural terrain where the interrupted relation amongst city, landscape and human can be rediscovered. Hence, this article intends to decode the infrastructural terrain along the Sincan-Kayaş commuter line in Ankara (Turkey) and reflect on the fragmentation of the landscape fabric in order to appreciate the currently existing landscape fragments: linearscapes, heritage lands and desolate lands. By means of these three types, the commuter line, currently forming an urban obstacle, might be revealed as a reference for integrative infrastructural terrain introducing a new urban landscape agenda for Ankara.

Title: Heritage of the Finnish Civil War monuments in Tampere
Abstract:
The 100th anniversary of the Finnish Civil War has made questions about the construction of its heritage and cultural memory topical. Taking the concept of dissonant heritage as a starting point, the paper looks at two monuments in the City of Tampere and their reception and landscape, focusing on recent decades. War monuments are always understood within the framework of current politics, but they are also in continuous dialogue with their physical surroundings and, thus, shape and are shaped by their landscape. In this paper, we look at the statues as arenas for politics of history and cultural memory, and the changes and continuums they carry with them. Monuments are at the core of urban public space and the processes of placemaking. Even when they are distanced from the historical events, they represent and remind us of the historical and political nature of public space.

Title: The interpretation of WWII conflict landscapes. Some case studies from the Netherlands
Abstract:
From a wider disciplinary perspective, modern conflict archaeology is now a thoroughly established and mature sub-discipline and need no longer seek to explain itself. However, a main problem faced by conflict archaeologists in the Netherlands is that modern eras, including both World Wars, have not received serious attention. Although both World Wars appeal strongly to the popular imagination, modern conflict had not been approached from an archaeological perspective to any great extent in Dutch academia until recently. Since laws and legislation on the topic are problematic in the Netherlands, I will argue that Dutch archaeologists need a different methodological toolkit to be able to conduct conflict archaeology. When applied and interpreted appropriately, archaeology can play an important role in the preservation, the contemporary experience and the historical reconstruction of recent conflicts. However, research methods other than excavations will be needed.

Title: Attention restoration theory as a framework for analysis of Tweets about urban green space: a case study
Abstract:
In this study, the use of Twitter as a potential method to capture unsolicited views of urban green spaces was explored. Tweets were content analysed using attention restoration theory (ART) as the framework. Tweets about three city-centre urban green spaces in northern England were analysed for four attention restoration characteristics: being away, fascination, compatibility, and extent. Of 5,624 Tweets matching search parameters, approximately 10% were suitable for analysis after re-Tweets, advertising, and event-related matches were eliminated. Tweets most often referred to fascination or compatibility. Fewer than 5% of Tweets referred to being away and none referred to extent. Tweets associated with more biodiverse locations suggested they were also more fascinating. The thematic content in unsolicited Tweets about urban green space was consistent with characteristics central to attention restoration theory, reinforcing the positive potential of urban green spaces for attention restoration and Twitter as a potential data source.

Title: From ‘Arcadia of the literati’ to ‘extravagant enclosure’: the Tianjin salt merchant gardens of the Qing Dynasty
Abstract:
This article examines a largely unexplored component of China’s classical garden system—the gardens of salt merchants in Tianjin during the Qing Dynasty (1636–1911). Beyond existing works, which tend to focus on imperial and scholar gardens—gardens of the ruling elites—this examination of merchant gardens contributes to garden history by revealing that merchants created gardens to improve their low social status. It further reveals shifts in the functions, architectural design and flora of the gardens which reflects both individual aesthetics and the changing fortunes of Tianjin’s salt merchants in general. Salt merchant gardens in Tianjin initially presented idyllic scenery to create literary-based, self-immersed spaces. Then beginning in the 1720s, they evolved into a showcase of rising merchant power displaying affluence, thereby enabling merchants to improve their social rank. Finally, from the 1840s, salt merchant gardens gradually became extravagant enclosures as the collapse of the established social structure unfolded.

Title: The ‘garden city’ in the green infrastructure of the future: learning from the past
Abstract:
Contemporary urban development takes place mainly in already built areas. The article’s objective is to examine how towns on the outskirts of large cities can use and revitalise green areas and the urban heritage of garden cities to contribute to filling the societal demand for building sustainable cities. Lillestrøm, a former garden city on the outskirts of Oslo, Norway’s capital, is used as the starting point to discuss how learning from the past can provide a foundation for developing new solutions. The case study was carried out as a DIVE analysis by using qualitative methods to describe the town’s cultural environments, their characteristics, and heritage assets. The analysis is supplemented with practical advice. Local planners need convincing arguments to promote urban heritage and green infrastructure as resources in sustainable urban development in a time of accelerating densification and climate change.

Title: Critical review of landscape-based surrogate measures of plant diversity
Abstract:
Landscape-based surrogate measures are commonly used to measure plant diversity, however, the difference between predicted diversity and field measures raises doubts about their effectiveness. A review of the literature was performed to address this (115 studies first evaluations, 61 second evaluations) to establish the types of surrogates used, their usefulness and factors affecting their prediction power. Three types of indicators were detected: landscape metrics, indicators based on the variability of spectral data and geomorphometric indices. The most effective indicators were slope, altitude, elevation, percentage of land cover (PLAND) and edge density (ED), as well as diverse distance metrics. Spectral data, shape index (SHAPE), patch area (PA) and the Shannon diversity index (SHDI) were less useful. Four possible explanatory variables for the effectiveness of surrogates were identified: landscape type analysed, species (taxa) examined, habitat quality and scale of research.

Title: Landscape and power: the debate around ugliness in Galicia (Spain)
Abstract:
The approval of the European Landscape Convention in 2000 placed landscape at the centre of the political debate and gave it visibility. At that time, a movement surrounding the concept of ugliness began in Galicia (Spain), which condemned the degradation of the Galician landscape as a result of public and private actions that destroy what is understood as the typical Galician landscape. The media and experts are actively involved in this discourse. In this article, we reflect on the concept of ugliness and relate it to policies of power that seek to confront the resistance of the Galician rural world. We analyse the links between the canonical Galician landscape, which dates back to the nineteenth century, and ugliness, as well as the current authorised landscape discourse.

Title: Strategies for the correct contextualisation and management of drove roads in urban historic landscapes
Abstract:
Drove roads bear testament to the social and economic relations of many Mediterranean countries over a prolonged period of time. However, scant attention has been given to the heritage value of these routes.This lack of attention is particularly significant in those historic urban landscapes that receive some type of protection as, in these cases, it would be possible to incorporate these trails as assets of heritage interest.This paper defines a methodology to reconstruct the routes of these thoroughfares in areas of heritage interest and systematically analyse the treatment of these roads by the local institutions. The article also proposes a GIS cartography to collect all the information that the authorities should compile in relation to drove roads and outlines design strategies to allow the correct insertion of these routes in urban historic landscapes. Finally, the research establishes a Web Map platform for the enhancement of these ancient thoroughfares.

Title: Designing water infrastructure and context-responsive housing: a case study in the Sabana de Bogotá
Abstract:
The flood-prone areas and agricultural soils along the Bogotá River in Colombia face a continuously increasing conflict between urban development, including low-cost housing projects, and environmental needs. This research investigates how current contested relations between water, settlement patterns, and productive landscapes can be turned into a constructive interplay. This paper presents a water urbanism research project, which uses interpretative mapping and research by design to critically understand the evolution of the relationship between water and settlements in the peri-urban areas of Funza and Mosquera. The project develops landscape typologies for adaptation and mitigation in view of climate change and to address demands of urbanisation in the Bogotá River floodplain. The paper demonstrates how designing with water can re-qualify the peripheral areas of Bogotá, solving both qualitative and quantitative water issues, delivering a framework for new housing fabrics, and creating new sustainable relations between different water uses.

Title: Beyond benefits: Towards a recreational ecosystem services interpretive framework
Abstract:
The challenge of managing protected areas to purvey benefits through visitor experiences has been a major subject of research within the fields of recreation and leisure. Driver and others have advocated for the benefits approach to leisure with relative success. However, this largely-social approach discounts the role of the setting in purveying benefits and the tradeoffs managers must make between ecological and visitor wellbeing. In an emerging body of literature, use-values inherent to recreation are often referred to as recreational ecosystem services. In this approach, recreational outcomes are analysed in the context of the ecological processes through which they are provisioned. It is theorised that a union between the management concepts of recreational ecosystem services and the benefits approach to leisure has the potential to improve the management of protected areas. This manuscript introduces the Recreational Ecosystem Services Interpretive Framework through a review of the existing theory and literature on both approaches to protected area management.

Title: Climate adaptation, urban regeneration and brownfield reclamation: a literature review on landscape quality in large-scale transformation projects
Abstract:
The transition to renewable energy is a powerful driver for large-scale landscape transformation. Environmental design is increasingly engaged in this transition, but little is known about purposefully designed renewable energy landscapes. To improve the design of large-scale energy landscapes we reviewed the literature on three innovative large-scale landscape transformations: Room for the River Nijmegen-Lent (The Netherlands), Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park (UK) and Freshkills Park (USA). We analysed 61 papers on landscape quality and the role of design, governments and participation. Concerning landscape quality, literature reports on functionality and certain aspects of experience rather than firmness (future values) of the transformation. While designers played an important role in large-scale landscape transformations, local governments seem not to be in control of the decision-making and participation was limited. The three cases illustrate how executed projects influence the discourse on landscape transformation and provide valuable insights for the design of renewable energy landscapes.

Title: Knowing the landscape: a theoretical discussion on the challenges in forming knowledge about landscapes
Abstract:
Knowledge about landscapes is highly complex and it is important to clarify how that complexity is reflected in the knowledge claims that feed into a particular planning process. Thus, this paper addresses critical issues and challenges regarding the formation of knowledge about landscapes in spatial planning contexts, based on published landscape research and planning theory. The analysis is rooted in planning theorists’ discussion of various types of knowledge claims involved in spatial planning practices. Thinking in terms of knowledge, and discussing both the character of knowledge production and types of knowledge claims that will be included, is a useful approach for choosing and developing assessment methods. To aid such approaches, two key aspects of formation of knowledge about landscapes are addressed here. One is the trans-disciplinary challenge of capturing landscapes as a whole. The other is the normative element of knowledge pertaining to landscapes, including diverging moral and ethical perspectives.

Title: ‘These enchanted hills’: transforming cultural landscapes in the Hills Face Zone, South Australia
Abstract:
Tensions between constructions of nature and culture are increasingly relevant in the twenty-first century as natural environments near large population centres come under increasing pressure from developers. The western face of the Mount Lofty Ranges, South Australia, is a historically significant cultural landscape where, following European colonisation, landscape use transitioned between ‘cultural’ and ‘natural’ according to local economies and changing public perceptions. Historical and archaeological evidence for the evolution of this landscape illustrate the dichotomies between these changing landscape values and growing public appreciation of the aesthetic qualities of this ‘green’ backdrop to the city of Adelaide. During the 1960s and 1970s the South Australian Parliament passed legislation creating a Hills Face Zone to protect this region from urban development. This paper presents evidence why, fifty years later, this model for landscape management is increasingly relevant as world population growth and urban sprawl extend into natural environments.

Title: Hill farmers, habitats and time: the potential of historical ecology in upland management and conservation
Abstract:
This article responds to calls for the historical sciences to inform adaptation in the Anthropocene, in this case, the sustainability of hill farming in view of EU habitat conservation. Focusing on Kerry, Ireland, it highlights the difficulties that conservation of upland bog, heath and grassland habitats faces due to rural depopulation. It then uses landscape history to assess the long-term feasibility of conserving/restoring these habitats according to EU directives, pointing to the remarkably recent disappearance of woodland due to grazing and deforestation. Instead of being ‘traditional’, as conservation discourse holds it to be, historical management of uplands by farmers could vary greatly depending on socio-political factors and economic trends. I discuss how this historical ecology of change helps to explain the failure of conservation in parts of Ireland, and outline how ‘lessons from the past’ may contribute to sustainable upland management if co-evolution is accepted as an on-going process.

Title: Body responses towards a morning walk in a tropical city
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to present an exploratory analysis of the relationship between body responses, immediate environmental factors and stress-related events. Using an experimental setup for data collection and information fusion from wearable sensors, this work tests three Machine Learning Algorithms for supervised classification of stress detection. Body skin temperature and electrodermal activity are processed to identify patterns of stress reaction while walking. Immediate environmental features from continuous sensor data are found to be useful in identifying stress-related events. The experiment was carried out in Singapore, a city-state with hot tropical weather where the climate conditions of the city encourage urban planners to meet walkability needs of the residents as well as to ensure short walking trips.

Title: Conservation planning for the Ganga River: a policy conundrum
Abstract:
River conservation planning is complicated by its inherent connectivity, variations in habitat features and difficulties in conserving entire rivers. Economic and social constraints in human-dominated river systems, such as the Ganga, further complicate planning. A multistage systemic analysis was performed to identify policy gaps and recommend the most suitable conservation strategy for the Ganga. A critical review of Indian legislation impacting the Ganga was carried out to examine conservation issues from a policy perspective. Thereafter, existing conservation planning approaches were reviewed to identify the most strategic option. The analysis suggests that the disregard for river connectivity, lack of protection, and incoherent sectoral policies hinder river conservation in India. Strategic prioritisation and zonation of the Ganga along the principles of prohibition, restriction and regulated resource use and creation of ‘optimal sites’ for biodiversity conservation under multiple management zones was recommended. Improving institutional design and capacity would enhance sectoral coordination and policy integration.

Title: Assessing the potential impacts of bioenergy cropping on a population of the ground-breeding bird Alauda arvensis: a case study from southern Germany
Abstract:
Transition from conventional energy into a system based on renewable energies was decided in Germany in 2002. Its implementation was accompanied by a controversial discussion about food safety, biodiversity, and landscape change. This study assesses potential changes in skylark occurrence caused by a spatial expansion of bioenergy crops in the administrative district of Schwäbisch Hall, Germany, using a Generalised Linear Habitat Model approach combined with remotely sensed land use information. Predictions for the occurrence of skylarks were developed for the land use distribution in 2011, and a close to reality bioenergy scenario with reduced crops. Prediction of skylark territories based on the land use classification of 2011 resulted in 46 269 territories. Skylark territories for the bioenergy scenario resulted in 36 472 territories, which as 8797 fewer skylark territories, represents a decline of nearly 20%. Our study helps elucidate and quantify the effects of spatial extension of bioenergy crops on skylark.

Title: Does having children or a dog influence visits to urban green spaces?
Abstract:
This study evaluates the differences between people who visit urban green spaces according to the type of accompaniment and whether it determines the visit, appreciation of green spaces and physical activity. The results show that walking with a dog or children explains the highest frequency of visits, followed by walking with an adult or alone. Men visit a greater proportion of green spaces either accompanied by another adult, a dog or alone. The exception is accompaniment with children, where women predominate. Walking a dog encourages daily visits to green spaces, and people who walk with a dog or children appreciate more the amount of green spaces available to them. In the absence of children, general practitioners and psychologists should prescribe adopting a dog as a way to promote healthy habits in people most at risk of loneliness and the elderly, since this will increase their visits to green spaces.

Title: Culzean country park – how an iconic Scottish landscape used designation to secure a sustainable future
Abstract:
When in 1969 Culzean, Ayrshire, was designated as Scotland’s first country park, it utilised legislative provisions intended to provide countryside recreation space for motorists. This paper offers a critical review of the designation process, revealing how this was used by the National Trust for Scotland as a mechanism to manage their prime property, and particularly to achieve a financially sustainable future. It shows how creative financing, bending rules, manipulating expectations, and flexibility were applied through partnerships with public authorities that were beneficial to all parties, while not quite adhering to the intent of the legislation. Culzean achieved acclaim, offered an exemplar to be followed by its counterparts, and informed perceptions and definitions of the British country park. A review of this experience is critical in that austerity is now threatening the existing funding model and new funding models are needed. An understanding of historic processes may help inform present solutions.

Title: Landscape futures: decision-making in uncertain times, a literature review
Abstract:
This review considers how rapid environmental change, generated through both inhuman natural forces and human-induced impacts, affects landscape futures and decision-making processes. To do this, we start by defining ‘futures’, and, more specifically, the different kinds of futures at stake in changing landscapes. We discuss how rapid environmental change not only puts immediate pressure on identifying alternative futures for landscapes, but also threatens to unsettle patterns of attachment to the landscape. We then explore different ways of managing tensions and consider strategies that have been used for breaking down binary divisions that may stymie informed and integrated decision-making. We conclude by adapting a five-point framework that incorporates uncertainty and environmental change when making decisions about landscape futures.

Title: Permafrost Politics: Toward a Relational Materiality and Design of Arctic Ground
Abstract:
Permafrost—continuously frozen ground for more than two years—is one of the defining landscape elements in the Arctic. In the U.S., its development as an idea has parallelled mid-twentieth-century territorial struggles in Alaska and is inextricably linked to permafrost science and frontier engineering. Permafrost is more than a scientific category and engineering risk subject to correction and control; it is a foundation for dynamic socioecological and cultural expressions in arctic landscapes. In response, a relational approach is taken to examine permafrost’s cold, vibrant and plural materialities, with an aim of generating design possibilities that are attuned to these dynamics. In the Arctic where science continues to play a central role in determining putative futures, the article further suggests to creatively instrumentalise scientific forms of landscape inquiry, highlighting thermo-material interactions and multiplicities of arctic ground.

Title: Beyond plans. Beyond design. Atmosphere and the lifeworld of small-street activation in Adelaide, South Australia
Abstract:
The activation of small inner-city streets is a core strategy in the creation of unique and vibrant places for people. Much attention is devoted to these projects, as cities vie to competitively position themselves. Atmosphere is a concept central to small-street activation and so ubiquitous within urban planning policies. However, what constitutes atmosphere is an emerging field of study within urban planning. Adopting a phenomenological approach, this paper presents a richly textured engagement with the lifeworld of a successful small-street activation initiative within Adelaide, Australia. In doing so, this paper provides a grounded case study of the phenomenological lived experience of atmosphere creation, revealing the complexities and opportunities of atmosphere within planning.

Title: Landscape multifunctionality in (and around) the Kafa Biosphere Reserve: a sociocultural and gender perspective
Abstract:
In 2010, UNESCO listed the Kafa Biosphere Reserve (KBR) in southwest Ethiopia based on the concept of landscape multifunctionality and the need to reconcile local community values and needs with conservation pressures. Understanding the role of the local community in traditional resource management has received little attention by researchers however, as most studies focus on the biophysical characteristics of the KBR. In this qualitative study we present two case studies from fieldwork and secondary sources: the Shattos as guardians of the Kafa forest customs, values and wisdom through musical performance; and, deejjoo, a thanksgiving ritual ceremony associated with forest resource management. These cultural and spiritual beliefs and practices corresponded closely with local understandings of biology and ecology. Land use changes over the past 50 years have resulted in deforestation, land degradation and erosion of sociocultural values that traditionally sustained human-environment interactions. Based on these descriptions we also found a gap in the research of the effects of gender on both biosphere and traditional land management approaches: Who has access to resources? What is the division of labour? How are values are defined, and Who makes the rules and decisions? Gender matters because taken for granted assumptions about women’s roles and responsibilities as care givers can reinforce gender stereotypes. Our results provide insights into how increasing broader local community involvement in decision making could enhance environmental sustainability and improve gender equality.

Title: A ‘new’ walking pilgrimage: performance and meaning on the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way
Abstract:
Drawing on discussions of pilgrimage as a landscape-based practice, this paper explores understandings and experiences of the recently developed North Wales Pilgrim’s Way (Taith Pererin Gogledd Cymru). A focus on this new trail considers how a walking pilgrimage combines physical activity, personal and spiritual encounters, and natural and spiritual landscapes Accounts of pilgrim experiences and photographs demonstrate how journeys on the North Wales Pilgrim’s Way enable participants to forge connections with the natural environment and local heritage, as well as the emotional-spiritual aspects of their lives. The paper finds that meaning is generated by participants in performing the path, highlighting the distinct role of walking pilgrimages in human-landscape interactions.

Title: Landscapes of calculation: the design agency of methods of assessment at the Ayalon project
Abstract:
Assessment techniques such as cost-benefit analysis are used to evaluate and approve public sector projects and decide among different design alternatives. Therefore, they have a considerable influence on the materiality, performance and reception of infrastructural landscapes. This paper analyses the dynamic interaction of assessment techniques with other forces and modes of knowledge that produce the built environment using the historic case study of the Ayalon Project in Israel. The project transformed a seasonal river into a depressed urban expressway, railroad, and flood control facility. The research opens the ‘black box’ of cost-benefit, multiple-criteria and risk analysis to reconstruct the complex chain of decisions that shaped the regulation canal, whose periodic flooding is regarded as a national scandal. Its main conclusion is that the recursive activation of these portable techniques contributed to the Ayalon’s unstable performance and landscape singularity.

Title: Identifying cultural heritage corridors for preservation through multidimensional network connectivity analysis — a case study of the ancient Tea-Horse Road in Simao, China
Abstract:
Due to the development and evolution of transportation networks, and the destruction and disappearance of cultural heritage in the urbanisation process, it is imperative to protect historical and cultural heritage using various public policy tools. Identifying heritage sites is a critical first step in achieving subsequent successful preservation. However, few extant studies have explored methods to identify heritage corridors using network analysis approaches. This study uses multidimensional network connectivity analysis to identify cultural heritage corridors along the ancient Tea-Horse Road. Based on the theory of occurrence, this paper considers the hierarchical factors such as time, space, ethnic culture, religious culture, and altitude differences in landscape patches to explore how these corridors are connected through a multidimensional network. The study fills a void in current literature and presents a spatially integrated multidimensional approach identifying cultural heritage corridors, making it possible for the protection, preservation, and development of these corridors.

Title: Neuroaesthetics and landscape appreciation
Abstract:
This article is a critical review of some aspects of theories of landscape appreciation in the light of the findings of neuroscience. Four propositions that have been employed in appraisal theory, and which can potentially be informed by these findings, are selected. An introduction is given on the scope of neuroscience and its models of aesthetic experience followed by reviews of objectivism, preferences from adaptation, the objective assessor, and direct perception. The conclusions of neuroaestheticians, even in their preliminary present state, offer the potential for clarifying these, and perhaps further, aspects of the theory of landscape assessment.

Title: Understanding recreational landscapes – a review and discussion
Abstract:
This paper contributes with a better understanding of recreational landscapes as a conceptual coupling that lacks clarity and cementation as a legitimate and integrated concept in landscape and outdoor recreation-related disciplines, especially within Nordic landscape and outdoor recreation research. The approach in the paper is an explorative-theoretical one with a base in a literature review. The results show 294 identified texts using the conceptual coupling ‘recreation(al) landscape(s)’ in any of its variants and published in 155 different journals. Only a few of the texts offer detailed description of its meaning. Consequently, in an attempt to further the understanding of recreational landscapes, the conceptual coupling is explored and discussed in more detail with special attention given to different landscape relations, human-nature encounters and the relationship between landscape and place. A conclusion is that recreational landscapes must receive more attention and better anchoring in various landscape and outdoor recreation-related disciplines.

Title: Making maps, making claims: the politics and practices of visualisation in environmental governance
Abstract:
What role does visualisation—such as images and maps—play in environmental and landscape governance? As pointed out by our late colleague Eirin Hongslo, surprisingly little research has been conducted on what ‘work’ images and maps do in these fields. This special issue draws on her insights, and the wider scholarship on critical cartography and political ecology, to explore how images and maps act as technologies of governance through creating and rationalising space. Through empirical studies ranging from forest governance in the Congo, petroleum exploration in the Arctic, regional planning for coastal zones and mountain areas in Norway, and pastoralist rangelands in southern Africa, the contributors to this special issue bring to light the various ways in which maps and images are visual manifestations of particular assumptions about socio-ecological causal relations, shaping notions and practices of authority and access. We conclude through emphasising the potential for further inquiry.

Title: Depicting decline: images and myths in environmental discourse analysis
Abstract:
Visual representations remain under-studied in environmental discourse analysis. Drawing on Barthes’ notions of denotation, connotation and myth in visual communication, I provide three examples of images of landscape degradation, which are responsible for spawning degradation myths: cracked soil demonstrating desertification in the West African Sahel, fence-line contrasts showing degradation of communal rangelands in South Africa, and colour maps as evidence of overstocking in Sámi reindeer husbandry in Norway. In all three cases, degradation images are used to uphold a myth about pastoral mismanagement of the environment. The cases also reveal the use of images as powerful tools to ‘problematise’ pastoralism, whereas technical measures, such as implementing carrying capacities, are presented as solutions, despite scientific evidence questioning the idea of general overstocking. In addition, we see that connotative meanings of images have been pivotal in all the cases producing the myths on which policymakers have tended to base their decisions.

Title: Picturing the flag in the New South
Abstract:
This study draws on several thousand images submitted by 56 fine art photographers for the largest exhibition of photographs about the American South yet undertaken, Southbound: Photographs of and about the New South, to investigate the cultural landscape of the region in the early twenty-first century. The prevalence of the flags of the Confederacy in cultural landscapes in the South highlights the endurance of longstanding white political identities there. More telling, however, is the understated power of the Stars and Stripes, often so taken for granted as to be almost invisible in photographs of the region. Fine art photographs open a window onto the cultural landscape of the New South that showcases charged political identities in the region while underlining the salience of Americanness there.

Title: Asserting authority through mapping: the politics of re-scaling coastal planning in western Norway
Abstract:
Integrated coastal zone planning seeks to balance competing interests, with aquaculture representing an increasing pressure fuelled by a dominant discourse of ‘blue growth’. Recently, more regional-level approaches to planning and mapping in the coastal zone have emerged. Maps, however, are not neutral artefacts, but are infused with particular values and meanings, strengthening some interests rather than others. Drawing on a case study from Hordaland in western Norway, we demonstrate how mapping came to play a pivotal role in regional coastal planning – through analysing relevant documents and interviews, we explored how the conflicts between aquaculture and environmental concerns were explicitly visualised and brought to the fore through mapping. This triggered latent conflicts between the local and regional levels of governance, with several municipalities contesting the map. We suggest that the practice of mapping served to strengthen the authority of the regional planning body in mediating between conflicting interests.

Title: Contested mappings in a dynamic space: emerging socio-spatial relationships in the context of REDD+. A case from the Democratic Republic of Congo
Abstract:
This paper adopts a processual understanding of mapping to empirically explore the workings of satellite-based forest visualisations and maps within the REDD+ process in DR Congo. Our analysis approaches maps as ongoing contingent practices and highlights the recursive interplay between maps and the socio-natural world. We first show how REDD+ (mapping) assemblages enact a uniform portrayal of community-induced threats to nature, which in turn legitimises a monoculture of abstract space often to the detriment of communities’ authority over land and their particular socio-ecological relationships. However, these mapping attempts at reordering forest landscapes are locally met with and reshaped by ever-emergent socio-spatial practices, ways of seeing and appropriating landscape. Complexity, fluidity, and ambiguity are indeed rendered absent by these seemingly immutable and complete representations although they are essential for understanding struggles over resources. We conclude that adopting a processual understanding of maps opens up ways of enacting socio-environmental justice.

Title: Balancing nature conservation and windpower development: the contested work that maps do in protecting Europe’s last wild reindeer
Abstract:
In conservation planning, maps do important work in producing territories of stronger and weaker protection, and spatially fixing special handling of development. Because of this, mapping and maps are contested, yet there have been few studies of their roles in planning conflicts. The performance of maps in planning processes affecting a wild reindeer habitat in Setesdal, Norway is analysed, asking what is the productive work of maps in planning, how is this work contested, and what are the consequences for the status of the plan itself. The case study centres on a proposal for wind power development, in an area designated in regional planning as a wild reindeer area of national significance. The analysis combines empirical material from interviews, planning documents and observation. The findings show the work that maps do in producing a new conservation territory, changing the basis of planning, yet failing to resolve deep-seated conflicts of interest.

Title: Contextualising a heritage assessment toolkit at the pre-planning stage of the historic urban landscape approach: the case of Mrauk-U, Myanmar
Abstract:
Although the historic urban landscape (HUL) approach has been highly focused on values connecting conservation and development, contextualising the approach in relation to local heritage discourses and the dynamics of heritage governance still requires more adaptive assessment tools. Mrauk-U in Rakhine State, Myanmar, was selected as a case study. Through the method of participatory historical map translation (PHMT), the spatial evolution of the city was reproduced to identify the key elements of the landscape structure as urban heritage. These elements were converted into space vector layers in the urban geographical information system (GIS) and underwent a three-step assessment using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to visualise the morphological patterns of their heritage value, availability and vulnerability. The results indicated that a holistic conservation strategy should be adopted to build a dynamic heritage management framework and that priority should be given to solving military conflict and preventing flood.

Title: Mapping ice in the Norwegian Arctic – on the edge between science and policy
Abstract:
In the Norwegian Arctic, petroleum exploration is prohibited north of the ice edge (the zone between solid sea ice and open ocean); the mapping and definition of the ice edge becomes the boundary for petroleum exploration. However, no evidence-based scientifically ‘correct’ position of the ice edge exists. Defining the ice edge—and its geographic positioning—is the result of co-production processes involving multiple actors and practices. We explore how the use of a new dataset for determining the geographical position of the ice edge became the centre of a proxy debate over how far north petroleum exploration should be allowed. The analysis reveals how maps serve as visual discourses in debate, and a strong correlation between different definitions of the ice edge and political commitment to petroleum activities. We challenge and discuss the performativity of maps and how mismatches between expectations to knowledge-based management, including maps, may have democratic implications.

Title: Co-financing green resilient infrastructures in Copenhagen: integrated or superficial design?
Abstract:
Green resilient infrastructures can provide important benefits for urban design. However, there are challenges associated with securing the necessary funding and, even where viable funding models have been established, there is evidence that these can reinforce superficial approaches to design. The aim of this paper is to investigate new models of financing green resilient infrastructures in terms of their socio-spatial implications. It provides a case study of the ‘co-financing’ system established in Copenhagen to realise the city’s plans for ‘blue-green’ stormwater management. It highlights limitations to this system including that it requires identifying a discrete ‘design dimension’ of stormwater projects. This embeds an understanding of design as an additional layer which is vulnerable to being discarded in financially constrained circumstances. The paper’s contributions are its analysis of the limitations of existing models of financing green resilient infrastructures and its identification of the need for new funding models to facilitate more integrated design.

Title: Vascular flora of urban forests in a medium-sized city in Poland: comparison with nature reserves in the city’s surrounding
Abstract:
Urban forests are basic elements in the ecological structure of cities. The dendroflora and herb species of oak-hornbeam forests in a medium-sized city type was studied and compared with nature reserves located outside the city, based on phytosociological analysis using the Braun-Blanquet percentage-of-cover scale. More inconsistent trees and shrubs occurred in the urban forests and some tree species showed poor renewal. The herb plant species have become more frequent in nature reserves, but we were not able to detect significant differences regarding species inconsistent with the habitat. Herb plants in urban forests preferred more light and fertile habitats. Myrmecochory was the most common seed dispersal. Nowadays, the conservation of urban biota is of great importance and more sustainable approaches towards management of nature are needed. To implement such approaches, results of studies focused on ecology of urban forests may serve as an important tool.

Title: The origins of the modern park system of the International Settlement in Shanghai (1899-1929)
Abstract:
This study focuses on the emergence of the modern park system of the International Settlement in Shanghai in the early 20th century. Particular attention is given to the international context, in order to identify ideas that triggered the establishment of parks, playgrounds, minor parks and tree-lined streets locally. The intention of developing a park system commenced after the appointment of Kew gardeners to supervise the development of parks and open spaces from 1899. This study shows how a park system was guided by the idea of reducing greenspace inequality. Modern notions of park design, breathing spaces, the playground movement and the City Beautiful bore directly on the park system of the International Settlement. We conclude that the creation of the park system derived from the internationalisation of landscape planning and design in late 19th and early 20th centuries; the park system was a pioneer of its kind in modern China.

Title: The Bad and the Beautiful: An artist’s encounter with the image of Port Arthur, Tasmania
Abstract:
Port Arthur Historic Site is a World Heritage Property in Tasmania, Australia. Inscribed as one of a suite of sites for the role it played in the British-Australian system of convict transportation, management and reform, it is today a major tourist attraction. Like most tourism destinations of the twenty-first century, image capture has become an integral component of visitor experience. Although at first it would seem that Port Arthur oozes images, there are particular locations, themes and views that reverberate through time and space. Reflecting on the theme of repetition, this visual essay seeks to elucidate how the paradox at the heart of Port Arthur’s representation might be used as a creative force or channel for the construction of new kinds of landscape encounter. Using a process of digital photomontage/collage, the essay explores the proposition that creative practice may play a role in activating and re-presenting heritage landscapes.

Title: Paradise lost — transformation of the gully landscape in South-East Norway
Abstract:
In the last 50–60 years, agricultural intensification and later urban development have threatened the rare and valuable gully landscape formed on marine clay. We studied landscape changes in eastern Akershus county in south-east Norway, which has one of the world’s largest concentrations of marine gullies. Interpretation of aerial photos showed that about 25% of the gully area has been lost. Only 39.5% of the remaining area is original gullies, and 60.5% of the area has been affected by landscape change. The largest loss of gully area was between 1955 and 1991, mainly through land levelling and transformation to intensively managed agricultural landscape. The most densely populated areas also lost gullies to residential areas and industry. Gullies support high plant and animal diversity, and future management should be based on landscape ecological principles. Gully fragments should also be preserved to maintain connectivity between the many different habitats belonging to the gullies.

Title: Reforming and remembering: gardens and gardening in a landscape of in/justice
Abstract:
This paper charts the changing cultural-personal uses and meanings of Port Arthur gardens from penal settlement, to rural township, to heritage site as a way of reflecting on the process of reforming and remembering the site as a material and discursive landscape of in/justice. It draws on contemporary and first-person accounts of the ideology and experience of Port Arthur gardens and uses both expository and descriptive forms of writing to show the gardens as agents of brutality and inequity, as resistance and healing.

Title: Known but not done: how logics of inaction limit the benefits of urban green spaces
Abstract:
Empirical research has long shown positive connections between urban green spaces and their users’ wellbeing. But compelling evidence does not always lead to appropriate investment. In a study of the contribution of urban nature to mental wellbeing in Sheffield, UK, the authors identified greenspace investments that could lead to improved wellbeing and discussed their implementation with local stakeholders. However, this qualitative study also revealed a series of reasons why stakeholders in Sheffield would not proceed with such investments. Using the concept of ‘logics of inaction’ to examine stakeholders’ reasoning, this paper considers why such logics arise. It finds a mismatch between available evidence and the evidence practitioners say they need to justify investments. One consequence is that practitioners’ capacity to act on new knowledge is reduced, limiting innovation and potential benefits.

Title: Port Arthur and the spectre of ‘unnatural acts’ in Australia
Abstract:
Heritage penal landscapes are complex sites, dealing with histories of brutality while reassuring the public that criminals can be made safe. In Australia, the terrain is highly complex given the founding of the nation as a penal colony to take the human refuse of Britain. This history, historians argue, raised the spectre of the long-term legacy of the ‘convict stain’, an idea they argue is a legacy of the ‘anti-sodomitical’ hysteria associated with the campaign to end convict transportation. I offer a reading of the ways in which the spectre of ‘anti-sodomitical hysteria’ continues to make itself present at Port Arthur and the Coal Mines Historical Site, through reference to ‘unnatural acts’. The increased social acceptance of same sex relationships, I argue, requires a more explicit engagement with the history of what we now call homophobia, its relationship to the anti-transportation movement and its legacy in the Australian historical consciousness.

Title: Ghosts of the Anthropocene: spectral accretions at the Port Arthur historic site
Abstract:
As a place of heritage, the Port Arthur Historic Site in Tasmania, Australia, provides a substantial representation of a colonial landscape. Principally associated with Australia’s convict history, the vestiges that are found there today take the form of extant buildings, shorelines, cemeteries, exercise yards and cells. Port Arthur is also thought to harbour less-tangible residues of its pasts in the form of ghostly apparitions and atmospheres. Indeed, it is often referred to as being one of the most haunted places in Australia. However, rather than focus on the supernatural traces of some of the deviant criminals once imprisoned there, this article will take a broader account of ‘ghosts’ to consider the interrelations between human and nonhumans in the Anthropocene. To do so, we look to the abiding, ‘haunting’ presence of ‘arboreal-others’ in order to re-enliven our understanding of Port Arthur’s pasts and reimagine their role in its present and future.

Title: Explaining landscape preference heterogeneity using machine learning-based survey analysis
Abstract:
We conducted a national survey on a high-quality internet panel to study landscape preferences in Norway, using photos as stimuli. We examined preference heterogeneity with respect to socio-demographic characteristics and latent topics brought up by the respondents, using ordinal logistic regression and structural topic modelling (STM), a machine learning-based analysis. We found that pasture landscapes are the most favoured (55%), while densely planted spruce forests are the least favoured (8%). The contrast was particularly strong between eastern and western Norway, between men and women, and between young and old. STM revealed that the choices were mainly driven by the preference for landscape openness, especially by women. Other important drivers were concerns regarding reforestation of former farmlands, aesthetic properties, forest management, biodiversity issues, and cultural values. Our results suggest that landscape policies may clash with socio-cultural preferences, and failure to account for these may undermine the success of a policy.

Title: Remembering and reconfiguring industrial heritage: the case of the digester in Moss, Norway
Abstract:
In Moss, Norway, a former cellulose factory is currently being adapted for new uses. The onsite digester, a high-rise steel structure that was used to make cellulose before the factory closed in 2012, is a landmark on the premises. The Directorate for Cultural Heritage has not designated heritage status to the digester, although it constitutes heritage for many who used to work at the factory. The digester now faces an uncertain material future, but that does not preclude it from being remembered in various ways. Some former factory workers suggest that its heritage can be rendered olfactory by reconstructing the putrid smell the digester emitted while in service. This paper argues that ‘authorised’ views of heritage can be challenged by the ways in which working-class heritage is performed and remembered.

Title: Designing complete living environments: landscape in Dutch expansion districts in the 1950s and 1960s
Abstract:
In the Netherlands after the Second World War, the design of urban expansion districts was at the heart of a programme to build a welfare state. Inspired by the idea of the Garden City, buildings and landscape were considered complementary to create a modern, spacious, healthy living environment. Most studies of these expansion plans have focused on urbanism and architecture. This paper discusses the ideas and designs of landscape architects Jan Bijhouwer, Wim Boer and Mien Ruys for outdoor spaces in Amsterdam and Rotterdam. Supported by post-war urban ideas, the landscape architects sought to restore the contact of citizens with nature in order to create a ‘complete’ living environment. In design practice, sociospatial ideas about the character and form of nature turned out to diverge. A better understanding of the landscape architectural perspective will nuance the historical knowledge that is used as a reference for the renewal of post-war districts.

Title: Non-site welfare landscapes on-site: curated displays of transformed social housing estates
Abstract:
Exhibitions are anything but a neutral; they may affect the ‘reality’ they mirror. As such the exhibition is an ongoing, open product of research that is always researching research itself, but that is also affected by and affecting politicised agendas. This article focus on the large open spaces—the welfare landscapes—of the Danish 1970s social housing estate, Gellerup and Toveshøj, currently subject to ‘radical’ transformation and displayed in its most crucial location, i.e. the site itself. I reflect on the culture of display when an exhibition is interacting with what it displays providing a theoretical framework drawing on concepts such as Smithson’s site/non-site, the Gesamtkunstwerk—played out in a neoliberal context—and international fairs like the IBA. Moreover, the built and displayed transformations spur reflections on the sliding changes of the welfare concept itself and how that is mirrored in the conducts and ethics of display.

Title: Assembling welfare landscapes of social housing: lessons from Denmark
Abstract:
This article makes a case for reappraising the designed landscapes of post-war social housing as welfare landscapes to inform current debates, policies and practices regarding social housing and its renewal. We look back at the development processes of three Danish estates which literally materialised the emerging welfare state in concrete, asphalt, plantings and earthworks. Guided by actor-network theory we recount how their landscapes materialised as multiscalar socio-material assemblages. We show that non-human things played a crucial role in the development of welfare landscapes which focused on child welfare and community development, offered architectural and ecological diversity, and co-shaped the urban landscape beyond the individual estates. Understanding welfare landscapes as socio-material assemblages does not only acknowledge the role of non-human things in their historical production. Ultimately it also calls for the inclusion of the welfare of non-human species and may offer inspiration for developing future welfare landscapes for more than humans.

Title: The good life vision on the landscape scale
Abstract:
The presence of green, open spaces within Danish post-war social-housing estates is visually discernable, however their role and understanding beyond modernistic incentives and ideas of living in health giving nature is limited. There is more to the landscape than meets the eye. This paper challenges dominating and often-oversimplified ideas of Danish welfare landscapes by thickening their unnuanced interpretations and using the 1956 housing estate Bellahøj as a case study. This paper offers insights into the embedded histories, nature/city relations, human dimension and experience of the landscape as central in the materialisation of the societal welfare vision. Through a combination of spatial and historical analysis, this paper brings new perspectives to Bellahøj from the standpoint of landscape studies, highlighting how ideals of nature incorporated within the Danish context and concept of welfare, caused the landscape to become a negotiated ground and inseparable part of the post-war good life.

Title: Urban courtyards: ideologies of domesticity and the landscape of welfare in communist Bucharest
Abstract:
This article addresses the emergence of urban landscapes as a form of welfare tied to the provision of housing in pre-communist and communist Bucharest. Despite the importance of welfare landscapes in post-war capitalist Western Europe, this notion has been little addressed in relation to former communist countries in the Eastern Bloc. The case of Romania is exemplary in articulating how the phenomenon emerged within a planned economy where urban planning and housing provision were exclusively state-controlled. Welfare landscapes shifted during the communist regime, from their prior manifestation as a dense network of garden courtyards and public gardens to become a regulated system of parks with specific ideological purposes. This article proposes that state-planned welfare landscapes were paralleled by ‘urban courtyards’ that rescued the memory of the pre-communist garden city and informally established different extents of a ‘good life’ within standardised housing ensembles.

Title: Gigantic welfare landscapes and the ground beneath Høje Gladsaxe
Abstract:
This article conceptualises welfare landscapes in relation to post-war Danish social housing architecture and politics. It argues that the importance of multiscalar relationships is key to the category of the welfare landscape as such, and that this relationship to scale crucially involves a sense of gigantic abstraction. To discuss the consequences of this, the article turns to the work of architectural historian and Lefebvre scholar Lukasz Stanek and his application of Foucauldian concepts of instrumentalisation and biopolitics in relation to post-war social housing. The article takes as its case study the Høje Gladsaxe estate, one of Denmark’s best-known modernist projects from the mid-1960s. The article analyses how the estate is portrayed in two fictional works: the animated film Bennys badekar (Benny’s bathtub) from 1970, and the novel Jorden under Høje Gladsaxe (The earth beneath Høje Gladsaxe) from 2002.

Title: Welfare landscapes between individuality and communality: social housing in Albertslund Syd
Abstract:
This article proposes the concept ‘welfare landscape’ to better understand post-war social housing in the context of contemporary renewal projects. We study of the iconic 1960s housing estate Albertslund Syd near Copenhagen as a welfare landscape and ask how it relates to two core values associated with welfare: communality and individual well-being. Examining architectural plans and the ways that people have used, lived in and understood this landscape over time, we show that the welfare landscape is a dynamic and agonistic terrain in which different modes of individuality and communality are constantly(re)negotiated. Specific landscape elements are active agents in this negotiation. We conclude that Albertslund Syd’s renovation plan relies on a reductive reading of this dynamic landscape, and we call for a better understanding of the capacities of welfare landscapes to facilitate various modes of individuality and collectively over a long time span.

Title: Impossible nostalgia: green affect in the landscapes of the Swedish Million Programme
Abstract:
The modernist neighbourhoods of the so-called Swedish Million Programme (1965–1974) were to house a new citizenry in utopian cities of the future, where nuclear families would live in optimal conditions and where ‘rational’ landscapes included playgrounds, courtyards, and traffic separation. Even so, they are ‘problem areas’ in current popular representations: places without history and thus unworthy of preservation. Radical proposals suggest their total demolition. Ethnographic research among residents, however, reveals alternative, multidimensional views instead. In parks, on bridges, and in tunnels, inhabitants have met friends, walked dogs, and sunbathed, often over decades. Their ‘green affect’ – expressed in reveries, poetry, stories, and caring suggestions for repair – challenges portrayals of the areas as disposable. Rather than suburbs without a future, residents express affection, longing, and even a seemingly impossible nostalgia for modernism’s outdoor spaces. This suggests the need for preservation and the inclusion of memories and feelings in planning processes.

Title: Edgelands of practice: post-industrial landscapes and the conditions of informal spatial appropriation
Abstract:
Do-It-Yourself urbanism has often been attributed with the capacity to revitalise urban environments in the absence of formal planning activity. However, there is still limited understanding of the ways in which such practices emerge and establish agency within their respective environments. We bring a relational lens to the debate, presenting a framework for identifying how the socio-spatial conditions within the urban landscape enable and constrain citizen-led spatial appropriation. Using a visually oriented, multi-modal approach, the framework is applied to five sites in Glasgow, Scotland, which we conceptualise as Edgelands in a post-industrial city. Findings reveal that informal citizen practices adaptively come into being through a process of negotiation with their social and material context. The paper concludes with policy recommendations for fostering citizen agency in revitalising the post-industrial city and other urban settings that include wastescapes.

Title: The post-socialist school camp: a story of dereliction at Bogda, Romania
Abstract:
This paper examines the condition of post-socialist derelict spaces. We discuss the case of a school camp from Bogda, Romania, and thus indicate a category of cases missing from the academic literature. Besides mapping the spatial condition of a derelict post-socialist school camp, we also examine broader political processes that followed the fall of socialism. In doing so, we seek to bridge the gap between the study of derelict and abandoned spaces and the critical perspectives on the neoliberalisation of space. Our case draws attention to the consequences of translating neoliberalism to Eastern European societies, especially on spaces deemed to be economically unproductive and socially obsolete. We have also discovered how a derelict school camp becomes a site where spontaneous and unexpected uses can proliferate. Our aim was to include in the ongoing conversations about the politics of derelict spaces a new category from a less examined geographical area.

Title: Assessing the adaptive resilience of twentieth-century post-industrial fishing landscapes in Siglufjörður, Iceland
Abstract:
Over the last 130 years, the landscapes of northern Iceland’s fishing villages have experienced repeated reconfigurations based on changing technology, cultural developments, and ecological shifts. However, the interconnected nature of these changes and their role in enabling industrial success have not been systematically assessed. This project aimed to evaluate the ecological and cultural histories of the herring industry of northern Iceland vis-à-vis the built environments in Siglufjörður in order to understand how changes in the built environment facilitated resiliency or increased vulnerability in the adaptive cycle through the spatial and temporal analyses of maps and aerial photographs of the landscape. This paper utilises an adaptive cycle framework to better understand how communities responded to disruptions in the fishing industry. Understanding the relationship between the built environment and the adaptive cycles of industrial communities can help illuminate the factors that cause settlements to succeed or fail.

Title: Enhancing urban nature: on design, biodiversity and the construction of experience in Italy
Abstract:
Current academic debate suggests that landscape architects have a crucial role in the conservationof engaging of biodiversity within urban and peri-urban contexts. By modulating the visual and physical interaction between humans and wildlife habitats, landscape architecture projects foster an aesthetic experience of biodiversity, contributing to shaping human understanding of its ecological value. This article discusses the relationship between landscape architecture and the promotion of biodiversity in Italy through a critical reading of a variety of design interventions ranging from the enhancement of sites included within nature reserves, to the reconstruction of lost natural habitats, to the inclusion of existing habitats in newly designed urban landscapes. Proposing four different typologies of spatial practices, defined according to the projects’ ability to engage visual perception and bodily movement, this paper aims at positioning the Italian context within the current global discussion on the role of landscape architecture in eliciting an aesthetic experience of biodiversity.

Title: Defining public open spaces: an investigation framework to inform planning and design decision-making processes
Abstract:
Typomorphological analysis has been used to study building types, but it is seldom applied to open spaces. This paper argues that the same systematic and rigorous approach can be applied to define public open spaces. It explores the potential of the application of a systematic analysis of types and forms to define urban landscapes. Drawing on existing literature, this paper identifies specific attributes related to urban landscape elements including formal and spatial aspects. This paper highlights the potential of open space networks to respond to the contemporary challenges facing urban designers working to create better places to live in. This paper contributes to the field of design research through the development of a method of survey and analysis to inform design decision-making processes. Its significance lies in proposing a comprehensive framework to contribute to a more detailed definition of urban landscape character and inform the development of sustainable urban strategies.

Title: Promoting goal-driven performance evaluation: a case study of an urban park in Florida, USA
Abstract:
The Landscape Architecture Foundation (LAF) advocates evaluating built landscape projects’ performance and collecting evidence to guide future practice. However, in the first few years of landscape performance research, various case studies, while quantifying a number of desirable outcomes, failed to evaluate projects’ performance against their original goals. Therefore, they did not sufficiently establish relationships between goals, design solutions, and performance. This paper aims to demonstrate the need for goal-driven performance evaluation through an urban park study in Florida, USA. We evaluate Depot Park’s level of accomplishment regarding four design goals and discuss experiences and lessons learned during the process. The results show that although it is feasible to conclude whether a project is making progress towards its goals, determining whether the goals are achieved or the level of accomplishment can be difficult. Precisely defined goals, performance benchmarks, and comparative studies are needed for future performance studies.

Title: Under the guidance of the eternal blue sky: cultural ecosystem services that support well-being in Mongolian pastureland
Abstract:
This paper investigates what ‘cultural ecosystem services’ are important for nomadic herders’ well-being in Mongolian pasturelands, and how nomads’ knowledge facilitates understanding of these cultural ecosystem services. Nomads’ appreciation of cultural ecosystem services is an aspect of their local knowledge and practices. Interviews, focus group discussions, and a household survey were conducted in the case study area of north-east Mongolia to understand what the main cultural ecosystem services relied upon at a local level are, and how people perceive their benefits. The key cultural ecosystem services supporting their well-being are historical and cultural heritage, sacred and religious landscape values, inspirational values of landscape and the symbolic and aesthetic meaning of the landscape. The paper contributes to debates regarding cultural ecosystem services assessment by addressing the importance of memories and perceptions of local communities and emphasising its importance for local decision making.

Title: The built environment in a winter climate: improving university campus design for student wellbeing
Abstract:
Like urban environments, the campus built environment can influence general wellbeing of students. At the same time, campuses are their own unique form and need to be analysed in their own way. This study identifies elements of the campus built environment that contribute to student wellbeing, including urban design qualities, considerations of safety and accessibility, and winter design strategies. Using the University of Alberta North Campus as a case study, evaluation criteria synthesised from a literature scan are used to assess Quad. This research identifies key design interventions and policy recommendations that are broadly applicable to northern university campuses. By exploring relationships between the university campus built environment and student wellbeing, we can gain insight into how to create an environment that promotes a sense of positive wellbeing for students. Such environments can contribute to better student success rates through higher academic performance, student retention, and graduation rates.

Title: Complex landscape biographies: palimpsests of Fort-Liberté, Haiti
Abstract:
Historically, the cultural landscape of northern Haiti has been severely impacted by Amerindian, Spanish, and African cultures. Historical accounts often consider only the transformations that left visible imprints in the environment, neglecting or overlooking other social changes. This research provides a new set of data, built upon results from mainly archaeological surveys. A landscape biographical approach is applied to capture the historic development of the Fort-Liberté region, Haiti. The discussion shows that the history of the region can be understood as a landscape palimpsest resulting from complex relations between different cultural groups over time.

Title: Cycles of defence on the Piedras Negras kingdom periphery: landscape patrimony at the fortified hilltop community of El Infiernito, Chiapas
Abstract:
The modification and reuse of defensive features is a form of landscape patrimony, in which the built environment influences practices of warfare over time, redefining or solidifying the peripheries of political entities or communities. Some Classic period (AD 250–900) Maya kingdoms, including the royal dynasty based at Piedras Negras, Guatemala, relied on local governors and communities to defend peripheral areas and buffer zones between adjacent kingdoms. These boundaries, however, were constantly in flux, and different communities would have played variable roles in defence across time. The fortified hilltop site of El Infiernito, Chiapas, Mexico shows evidence of this practice from its founding as a small, Late Preclassic period (300 BC–AD 250) political centre to its reoccupation as a peripheral hamlet in the Piedras Negras kingdom during the Late Classic period (AD 600–900). This archaeological evidence has implications for how peripheral communities participated in regional political conflict.

Title: Interpreting protohistoric societies through place names of landscape features: a case study in València, Spain
Abstract:
Protohistoric place names, created before written history and related to extinct languages, are analysed in this article. Our case study deals with place names of current towns (over 20,000 inhabitants) in the Spanish region of València. Linguistics is needed when dealing with the origin of an opaque protohistoric place name, but observation of landscape features is crucial when finding or choosing the most plausible origin of a place name if there is more than one theory. Protohistoric names are thus interpreted in this article from two perspectives: landscape feature observation and philology. This multimethod analysis produces more reliable results. The main results reveal that protohistoric town names in our case study derive from natural features of landscape, while historic town names refer mainly to cultural features of landscape. Place names are one of the most valuable sources available to explain the concerns of protohistoric peoples.

Title: Perceptions of Cultural Ecosystem Services: spatial differences in urban and rural areas of Kokemäenjoki, Finland
Abstract:
This study aims to identify and evaluate the spatial distribution of Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) benefits perceived by people in both urban and rural areas. A public participation GIS (PPGIS) approach was applied with local people who responded to an online survey and mapped their important places related to CES benefits in the Kokemäenjoki area. We explore the perceived ecosystem services of the community using different infrastructure types (green, grey, yellow and blue) based on the Corine Land Cover (CLC) classes. We identified spatial patterns of mapped important places using kernel dens
ity estimation and related CES benefit associations with the infrastructures using chi-square residuals. We found that CES in urban areas are provided more often when there is more than one type of infrastructure (e.g., grey and green; grey and blue), but grey infrastructures are preferred in urban areas, while blue infrastructures produce more CES benefits in rural areas.

Title: Ideas relating to humanity–nature relationships in Korean folk narratives reflecting geomantic values
Abstract:
In Korean folk narratives related to geomancy (p’ungsu in Korean, fengshui in Chinese), the relationship between humans and nature is a dominant theme. This paper uses three traditional Korean folk narratives to analyse and explore three different ideas associated with humanity’s relationship with nature. Firstly, the story of ‘Ulsanam Mountain peak’ is used to explore the idea that humanity is a reorganiser of nature. Secondly, the story of ‘The Legend of Queen Sim who was born after the making of a grave at an auspicious site’ is used to explore the idea that nature is an extension of humanity. Lastly, the story ‘The Legend of Song Siyŏl’s grave in a geomantic landscape suggestive of an army general’s commanding posture’ is used to explore the idea that human beings are an integral part of nature. Folklore can provide researchers with invaluable raw data for the study of people’s thoughts and behaviour.

Title: Participatory school ground design: play behaviour and student and teacher views of a school ground post-construction
Abstract:
Participatory school ground design projects have acknowledged benefits for children’s sense of empowerment, ownership and learning, but the play behaviour outcomes of these school ground projects are less understood. The aim was to investigate the use of a renovated school ground in Colorado, USA that had engaged students in the redesign process. Behaviour mapping investigated the spatial distribution of children’s (n = 342) play behaviours, through observations of active, constructive, imaginative, reflective and conversational school ground play. Walk-along and semi-structured interviews with 52 students aged 5–13 years and 9 school staff explored views of the school ground design post-construction. The results indicate that there were aspects of the school ground design that warranted further improvement to facilitate social interaction, girls’ preferred play choices, and older children’s sense of challenge in the school ground. The research presents design recommendations and reflects upon the benefits of continued community engagement in school redesign.

Title: Constructing the green wedge in the planning discourse - a case study of Central Park in Helsinki, Finland
Abstract:
This article explores the construction of the green wedge in the planning discourse in Helsinki’s Central Park over three phases: its establishment in the early twentieth century, the first statutory plan of the 1970s and in the present context. Often described in quantitative methods emphasising physical and spatial qualities, the study instead examines the conceptual and historical dimensions of the park. The thematic analysis of the planning discourse looks at four principles characteristic of the green wedge model— the relationship between the park and the city; the continuity and connection from the centre to the outskirts; recreation and health; and nature as beauty and biodiversity. With the focus on the consistencies and changes, this study highlights the resilience of this over 100-year-old green wedge and demonstrates that Central Park has been able to accommodate new needs and functions while sustaining most of its original aims.

Title: The influence of satellite imagery on landscape perception
Abstract:
The perception of landscapes involves the process of categorising and differentiating surrounds according to sensory information and the experiences of individuals. Increasingly, due to the ubiquitous nature of virtual globe platforms, individuals are accessing visual information about their surrounding environment through satellite imagery. This investigation aims to examine how people’s perceptions of landscapes are changing when our experiences increasingly occur in digital space, altering the perception paradigm from one where individuals analyse direct objects to one where indirect objects are key in the formation of their perceptions. A case study in Chile, South America, is used to explore the influence of satellite imagery with 52 survey participants responding to questions about land use and land cover (LULC) patterns of the area, before and after, unstructured exploration of the region using Google Earth. The results indicate that satellite imagery is influencing how individuals perceive LULC patterns within their direct surroundings.

Title: Site user participation: the solution to challenging modernist architectural planning and design
Abstract:
Broader participation in land use planning processes by site users is often interpreted as a challenge to existing planning schemes. However, when participation becomes compulsory in planning procedures, guidelines regarding public participation are rarely imposed. The question arises as to whether public participation, in any form, truly introduces challenges to current planning schemes. In the case of an extension project of a French campus, site users were interviewed, either spontaneously or aided, through an experimental protocol, concerning the value of built and non-built elements of the campus, the extent of their value, and whether they should be preserved in future planning. The primary objective of this study was to prove that unguided participation may be counter-productive and lead to reproduction of the existing planning schemes. Individual preferences are too determined by the current situation of the site and site users are not typically visionaries.

Title: Therapeutic environments as a catalyst for health, well-being and social equity
Abstract:
With the increasing prevalence of mental illness, there is an ever-growing need for supportive and rehabilitative social and health services and facilities. In many countries, the healthcare infrastructure, transitional services and communities are isolated from one another, creating physical and mental barriers to rehabilitation. Therapeutic landscape research suggests that outdoor spaces can facilitate rehabilitative healing, foster community support and self-empowerment. Design focused on facilitating preventative and rehabilitative health may bridge the gap between treatment at the institutional level and day-to-day living environment, by supporting the well-being of vulnerable people. In this paper, the literature as well as individual case studies are explored to better understand how therapeutic environments may enable the built infrastructure and transitional landscapes to fruitfully coexist. Findings suggest that suitable urban integration of services through therapeutic landscapes can provide a catalyst for the well-being of the wider community, mediating healthcare stigmas.

Title: Towards the identification and mapping of traditional agricultural landscapes at the national scale: an inventory approach from Italy
Abstract:
This paper presents an original approach for identifying and mapping agricultural landscapes that are highly representative of different biogeographical and natural settings and likely to be traditional, at the national scale. In the case study of Italy, we used national land cover data of different dates to examine composition of agricultural types and their persistence over time while we employed national stratifications into ecoregions and potential natural vegetation (PNV) to include environmental representativeness. Implementing the procedure returned 120 landscapes, which are distributed across all ecoregions and 51% of the PNV types. Most landscapes match areas with certified and traditional produce (93%) and relevant potential vegetation (86%), whereas 30% overlap acknowledged historical rural landscapes. These results show that our approach highlights the coevolutionary process between traditional crops and the underlying environmental framework and, therefore, provides an ecologically sound coarse filter for selecting and mapping traditional agricultural landscapes.

Title: Metropolitan mountains: Sainte-Victoire as a public park in Aix-Marseille Provence Metropolis, France?
Abstract:
Metropolisation leads to the physical, functional, and symbolic integration of urban natural areas. In this context, can metropolitan mountains be considered vast public parks in their own right, adapting to new scales of functionality within their territory? To tackle this question, we carried out a questionnaire-based survey among local residents and users of Sainte-Victoire mountain in the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropolis, France. Its results highlight the existence of proximity-based perceptions and practices towards Sainte-Victoire. In this respect, the mountain possesses certain characteristics that are associated with intra-urban green spaces. However, it differs from intra-urban green spaces in that its users’ patterns of frequentation can be categorised as exceptional and episodic, and that access to and specific uses of it strongly depend on owning a car. This article therefore calls for an environmental management strategy that better coordinates emblematic urban natural spaces, such as Sainte-Victoire, with other metropolitan green spaces.

Title: The restorative potential of commercial streets
Abstract:
With cities continuing to grow at rapid rates across the globe, daily exposure to traffic, noise, crowding, information overload and other stressors have exacerbated urban dwellers’ need for restoration. Yet, how to enhance the restorative potential of urban environments remains a vastly understudied research topic. This article explores the perceived restorative potential of commercial streets in the Boston metropolitan area (US) and Belo Horizonte (Brazil). Triangulation of data (derived from face-to-face interviews, unstructured observations, and social media) and cross-cultural analysis indicate that commercial streets can be planned, designed and managed as destinations for restoration. This study shows that immediate social context, urban design qualities, land use, managerial strategies, meaningful aspects, built and natural elements, in certain combinations, tend to enhance the perceived restorative potential of the commercial streets. While there were numerous similarities in output from the two countries, there were also significant differences.

Title: Barefoot walking, nature connectedness and psychological restoration: the importance of stimulating the sense of touch for feeling closer to the natural world
Abstract:
Exposure to green/blue spaces is associated with greater nature connectedness and feelings of restoration but the focus has primarily been on visual/auditory experiences. We explored the potential role of experiences of touch, through walking barefoot. Participants took part in a repeat cross-over experiment that compared walking barefoot vs. shod, in a public garden and beach environment. Barefoot walkers had higher connectedness and restoration than shoe wearers in both environments, though increased tactile experiences only mediated the relationship in the beach setting. Findings suggest that walking barefoot is a viable and low-cost activity to facilitating greater feelings of nature connectedness and psychological restoration.

Title: Historic construction of diffuse cultural landscapes: towards a GIS-based method for mapping the interlinkages of heritage
Abstract:
The convergence of research on landscape and heritage holds great strategic potential for establishing novel connections between the heritage resources of a territory. This text reflects on the ability of the landscape to situate inherited assets within a framework of spatial coherence in relation to the peri-urban spaces of large cities, heritage areas of great historical depth that have been particularly aggressively exposed to the urban development dynamics of the second half of the twentieth century. In order to address these often forgotten spaces, this text presents a system for heritage management argued from the standpoint of and towards the landscape and based on historical interpretation, cartographic analysis, mapping and digital documentation. Geographic technologies and graphic expression are basic pillars to integrate historical information with the language and resources of the disciplines involved in landscape planning and design, advancing criteria for a forward-looking landscape-based heritage management.

Title: Older adults’ domestic green environments: the preference for flowers
Abstract:
Greenspaces and access to nature are widely accepted as being beneficial to older adult’s health and well-being. Less well known are the natural elements in their domestic outdoor environments that are used and preferred. In this paper, we identify those most preferred by 72 older adults in New Zealand living in family homes, downsized homes and rest homes. Through the use of geographic information system mapping and photos, we assessed how these individual elements relate to residence type, age, frailty and intrinsic interest in nature. The type of residence and innate nature relatedness were strongly reflected in the items selected by participants. The elements most frequently reported across all residence types were primarily non-native flowers/flowering shrubs and trees, sitting places, views, birds, vegetables, fruit and herbs. The findings have implications for landscape garden design and plant selection but also present a challenge for encouraging more native species in domestic environments.

Title: Land-use modifications and ecological implications over the past 160 years in the central Apennine mountains
Abstract:
Today’s Mediterranean landscapes result from the interaction between ecosystems and anthropogenic activities. This study aims to assess how the land-use changes between the mid-nineteenth and end of the twentieth century influenced the temporal continuity of the ecosystems in central Apennines (central Italy). Information was acquired from Gregorian cadastral maps, orthophotos and aerial photos (1850, 1954, 1980 and 2010), digitised and georeferenced using QGIS 3.10.1 software. Marked changes in land-use types were found. From 1850 to 1954, grasslands were widely transformed into arable lands, but in the next 60 years they changed again into new grasslands and forests. Forests underwent a slow but continuous expansion from 1850 to 2010. Only a small percentage of the forest and grassland patches (14 and 16%, respectively) have seen ecological continuity. These considerations call attention to temporal continuity of ecosystems, together with the historical dynamism of landscapes, in defining land management and nature conservation policies.

Title: Decolonizing landscape
Abstract:
If decolonization truly begins with land, then it can be said that landscape studies—as a field concerned with the study, design, and ordering of land—has at least some stake in on going processes of decolonization. Repeated contestations for Indigenous land rights in North America suggest that settler-colonial contexts present a distinct and pressing concern for decolonization. The landscapes of colonialism are also deeply racialized, converging on extractive capitalism and environmental racism. Historically, landscape has been used as a disciplinary tool to facilitate the control of land and to naturalise colonial hegemonies, including the cultural framing of landscape through art and architecture. Current approaches to the built environment (including development, conservation, and management) also routinely perpetuate colonizing logics. For landscape studies, the prospect of decolonization (and of a decolonizing landscape praxis) demands the critical reconciliation of underlying coloniality within the field and a complete reorientation towards anti-colonial subjectivities.

Title: ‘We live and die in chestnut’: remaining and adapting in the face of pest and disease outbreak in Turkey
Abstract:
Concern is growing worldwide over the negative outcomes of rural abandonment. Yet, problematisation of this phenomenon remains limited by insufficient explanatory frameworks and lack of empirical evidence from the conditions which precede, underlie and succeed it. Accordingly, this paper presents a case from Turkey, where significant rural abandonment is locally attributed to the ravages of multiple introduced pathogens in European chestnut (Castanea sativa) populations, and where our previous investigation has verified that traditional livelihood practices mitigate damage severity at the levels of trees, plots and landscapes. In order to better understand individual stakeholder motivations for remaining acting members of chestnut landscapes in the face of such serious challenges, we conducted 142 extended ethnographic and narrative interviews with chestnut-utilising participants across Turkey’s highly diverse human and physical geography. Our results show how the struggle to remain as acting landscape members requires community livelihood adaptation, drawing on institutional memory, innovative learning and social connectedness.

Title: The planning and design of good quality urban parks in China: the perspectives of technical professionals
Abstract:
Previous studies have identified barriers to investment in good quality urban parks during the planning and design stage, particularly noting the ineffectiveness of planning instruments, a low political will to invest in urban green spaces and constraints in governance operation. The factors that influence the quality of urban parks in the planning and design stages of investment were investigated through interviews with technical professionals who have acted as consultants to local government across China on urban planning and landscape projects. A set of thematic characteristics were identified as shaping the planning and design of good quality urban parks in China: the reliance on quantitative metrics in the contemporary planning context; the linkage between local political will to invest in urban parks, local leaders’ prestige and local administrators’ enthusiasm in governance operation; and local administrators’ equipment with knowledge and effectiveness in communicating with technical professionals.

Title: Integrating sense of place into participatory landscape planning: merging mapping surveys and geodesign workshops
Abstract:
This article explores the potential of integrating sense of place into participatory landscape planning processes. In an illustrative case study, spatial information on sense of place assessed through a participatory mapping survey from local citizens is integrated into a geodesign workshop at the Lahn river, Germany, with local stakeholders and planning administration representatives. Results show that sense of place information (1) has been considered interesting and relevant for the planning process by the majority of workshop participants, (2) revealed areas in the landscape that participants did not expect to be meaningful, and (3) spurred discussion on the potential meanings of the places and areas. We recommend planners to consider options for eliciting and integrating sense of place in future participatory landscape planning to reveal citizens’ unknown people-place relationships for the use in actual deliberation and negations.

Title: Infrascape – how coevolving infrastructure and landscape shape water systems
Abstract:
Ageing infrastructures and changing landscapes offer opportunities for renewal and adaptation. While traditionally seen as separate challenges, we think the integration of landscape and infrastructural renewal can bring about solutions better tailored to future needs. This paper provides a conceptual framework, called Infrascape, that can study and explain the interdependent infrastructure-landscape relationship. The Infrascape framework uses coevolution to combine nested levels of infrastructure (object, network, system) with a pattern-process perspective on landscape. We explored the analytical abilities of this framework in a case study of the Danube river landscape near Vienna, Austria. In our case study, the Infrascape framework helped identify multiple instances of coevolution between infrastructure and landscape. The coevolution of infrastructure and landscape featured in the Infrascape framework, clarifies the reciprocal implications of infrastructural renewal for landscape transformations and vice versa. As such, Infrascape forms an important contribution to the study and development of renewal strategies for sustainable infrastructure landscapes.

Title: Landscape architecture in rural India - lessons for developing countries from Dhamori village
Abstract:
Contemporary discussions in landscape architecture focus primarily on urban settlements. Yet, a majority of human populations in developing countries still reside in rural settlements. This article explores the role of landscape architects in a typical agrarian settlement in central India, Dhamori, to demonstrate that such contexts in developing countries are unexplored territories for designers. In such areas, there is a huge unmet need for developing landscape infrastructural strategies and site-specific designs. Additionally, it is imperative to inspire villagers to become agents of change within their communities and educate them on best practices for engaging with the built environment, if needed. Through the process and proposed improvements in the built environment that would improve Dhamori villagers’ quality of life, this article argues that landscape architecture has much to learn about disciplinary contributions in such contexts and as much to contribute in rural contexts in developing countries as in urban contexts, if not more so.

Title: ‘The Charm of a Thousand Years’: exploring tourists’ perspectives of the ‘culture-nature value’ of the Humble Administrator’s Garden, Suzhou, China
Abstract:
Despite the promulgation of the UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1972, widely lauded for being the first international convention to include natural and cultural heritage, the separation of cultural and natural heritage persists. Equally, within the top-down ‘authorised’ global and national heritage systems, the values of the elite and powerful continue to be emphasised while the understanding of heritage by the general public is often downplayed or ignored. This paper analyses the travel journals of tourists who have recently visited the 拙政园 (Humble Administrator’s Garden), China, in order to explore visitor understanding of the cultural and natural values of this World Heritage listed place. The findings indicate that tourists’ experiences are connected to their personal memories, feelings and emotions in ways that integrate cultural and natural heritage meanings and values. Such interconnected ‘naturecultures’ experienced by individual tourists, we argue, is more emotional and powerful than the official UNESCO and state-sanctioned narrative.

Title: How researchers shape the construction of landscape change – insights from a scenario study
Abstract:
Studying landscape change has taken on increased importance, for instance, in the context of enhancing the sustainable intensification of agricultural production. As sustainability-oriented landscape research necessitates inter- and transdisciplinary approaches, the influence that researchers exert through constructing and applying conceptual bases and methods merits particular attention. We address this issue with a multifaceted understanding of power, and apply three analytical lenses to the example of a regional, landscape-related scenario study. We found that without an interdisciplinary framework that fosters integration and explicit cooperation procedures, researchers exert individual ‘power to’ by adhering to well-known disciplinary methods. Also, we observed a mobilisation of ‘power with’ through a certain level of transdisciplinary cooperation. We recommend a rigorous specification and application of joint conceptual bases, their disclosure and an ongoing reflection on inter- and transdisciplinary cooperation procedures to ensure the transparency of researchers’ influence in studies on landscape change.

Title: The submersion and adaptation of routines in the Somerset Levels and Moors
Abstract:
The Somerset Levels and Moors comprise low-lying farmland in south-west England, prone to seasonal flooding. The area suffered uncommonly severe floods in 2012 and 2013/2014, triggering high-profile debates about the area’s long-term future. The article focuses on the experiences of the floods in one village, Muchelney. Drawing on mixed methods, this interdisciplinary study examines physical and social routines, and how these were disrupted, adapted or reinforced. Indications of adaptability, resourcefulness and hierarchy emerge. The examination of routines draws on modest material representations sought out after the events took place, to illustrate how the floods submerged the landscape’s physical geometry and disrupted mobility, but also presented new conduits. Within the trauma of isolation and inundation, prolonged media scrutiny revealed a range of gendered, hierarchical and uncomfortable social experiences that complement evidence of a resilient community pulling together and learning to cope among the upending of normal life.

Title: Towards sustainability evaluation of urban landscapes using big data: a case study of Israel’s architecture, engineering and construction industry
Abstract:
Sustainability Rating Systems are standard methods for achieving sustainable development of buildings and urban landscapes. However, they suffer from low adoption and implementation rates, mainly due to labour-intensive evaluation processes. This study explores how recent advancements in big data, combined with the availability of new urban environment datasets, could advance sustainability rating systems in landscape development. We compared between existing computational technology (supply) and industry performance evaluation needs (demand) using a systematic review and survey of Israel’s professional communities as a case study. Of the existing indicators, Israeli professionals prioritised measuring socio-ecological indicators of landscapes in development projects, mainly at the urban level. Our review revealed that this level also holds available big data sustainability evaluation methods and technologies. Specifically, directed data for measuring ecology and volunteered and automated data for measuring social indicators. Such supply-demand links could significantly advance evaluation methods towards achieving a broader application of sustainable urban development.

Title: Urban collage: how can affective dynamics shape waterfront landscapes?
Abstract:
This article unravels the factors of affective dynamics that shape and sustain waterfront regeneration while critically examining the essence and influence of megaprojects. It examines why and how urban atmospheres can be provoked and manipulated to dominate the rationale, political orientations, intrinsic motivations, and power struggles behind waterfront landscapes. It provides explicit insight into how waterfront regeneration operates affectively and atmospherically through the convergence of emotion-focused planning, value-creation approaches, and affective adaptability to transform the physical and political landscape. Focusing on the ‘Asia New Bay Area’ (ANBA) project in Kaohsiung, this article explains why and how megaprojects can be accepted and supported by local people, despite a lack of professional evaluation, public participation, and revenue. The key claim of this article is that addressing the city’s affective dynamics and atmospheric resonances is critical for understanding how megaprojects can be employed to direct public emotions and concerns.

Title: Trajectories of practice across time: moving beyond the histories of landscape architecture
Abstract:
The established histories of landscape architecture are incongruous with emerging bodies of critical landscape practice. In response, we argue that, rather than adding more non-Western case studies to an existing so-called canon, a different model for positioning our practices within and across time is needed. This model is founded in the understanding of landscape as a continuum of shifting relations across past, present, future. To illustrate, we turn to two examples of landscape making practice in North America that engage across time by intentionally situating their work within the landscape continuum. We do not present these as case studies to be absorbed by a discipline, but as examples for how our own landscape practices might engage with and across time. No history belongs to us. We belong to a continuum of landscape making spanning past, present, and many futures.

Title: Agricultural landscapes and rural spatial configurations in the Peruvian Central Rainforest
Abstract:
The Peruvian Central Rainforest is a territory delimited by socio-cultural affinity and economic dynamics. The diversity of ecological zones in this territory has allowed agriculture to be the main activity of its rural population. This research seeks to analyse the factors that influence the spatial configuration of agricultural landscapes in the Peruvian Central Rainforest. The Río Negro district was selected as a case study to analyse three factors groups: settlements, ecosystems, and housing. Mapping, photo-interpretation, and field data collection were used to carry out the study. As a result, three types of agricultural landscapes have been identified, which include four modes of settlement organisation, three types of agricultural ecosystems, and eight types of agricultural housing. The discussion shows different heterogeneity levels in each type of agricultural landscape determined by the various configurations of its elements that should be considered for future territorial planning and studies in the Peruvian Central Rainforest.

Title: The canal and the pool: infrastructures of abundance and the invention of the modern desert
Abstract:
Modernist ontologies of water physically materialise in Phoenix’s landscape: over 100 miles of canals convey water to the suburban grid, where thousands of gallons are piped into backyard swimming pools. The canal and pool are thus joined in architectural folly to move, hold, and control water in the service of sustaining the belief that dry ecologies are but supply chain problems in need of engineering solutions. These typologies reveal longstanding entanglements between the promises of modernity and aridland urbanism; and they further amplify the immense challenge of transitioning away from modern water infrastructure in the face of climate change. By using the canal and the pool as signifiers of the insidious entanglements between modernity, growth, and aridland urbanism, this article advances an historical examination of Phoenix that destabilises tropes of water scarcity as a problem to be solved but which has also created cultural perceptions of abundant water.

Title: A biographical approach to Ireland’s landscape: creating a new methodology
Abstract:
Landscape biographies have gained in popularity as a holistic assessment tool to enable local government planning and promote a community’s identity. To date, the approach has never been applied to the Republic of Ireland’s unique historical and cultural landscape. This paper addresses this omission by building upon former biographical approaches in other countries and adapting and applying them to the region of Kilrossanty in County Waterford as a case study. The new methodology intends to complement the current official approach to landscape assessment in Ireland which focuses solely on Landscape Character Assessments. The paper argues that the complexities of the Irish historical background require a more layered approach for which a biography is more appropriate. By conducting transdisciplinary fieldwork, an Irish landscape biographical model has been produced focusing upon the landscape’s structural transformations and identification of its authors who have been categorised to better reflect the societal and political strata of this previously colonised country.

Title: ‘Picture perfect’ landscape stories: normative narratives and authorised discourse
Abstract:
Despite the positive impacts of an increasing number of organisational initiatives and campaign groups, unequal access to the countryside remains an intransigent issue. Contesting the countryside’s normative associations is thus not just a conceptual challenge but a practical one for organisations managing rural sites. Taking the National Trust-run site of Wembury in Devon, UK, as a case study, I use critical discourse analysis to uncover institutions’ (including the National Trust and other charities, news media, and factual programmes) and individuals’ (using TripAdvisor data) discursive constructions of the landscape. Emerging themes include discourses of place, activities, and people, that—despite some dissonance and seeming contestation—cohere and (re)produce ideologies based on normative narratives of rural landscapes. I suggest the potential value of discourse analysis in surfacing rural storyscapes, and leveraging them to disrupt discourses which further exclusionary ideologies, as a tool to enable locally contextualised, practical means of advancing inclusion.

Title: The complexity of landscape ideas and the issue of landscape democracy in school and non-formal education: exploring pedagogical practices in Italy
Abstract:
Landscape-related pedagogical initiatives present a multifaceted panorama of assumptions, approaches and goals, with some contradictions and commonalities. They reflect, on one hand, the theoretical ambiguity and inherent tensions of the concept of landscape itself and, on the other hand, the different institutional approaches to landscape management. This paper discusses the results of a national survey conducted in Italy on landscape-related initiatives in non-professional education. Five landscape ideas on which educational projects are grounded emerged from the analysis: ‘anthropic and lived landscape’, ‘perceived and green landscape’, ‘landscape as an arena’, ‘heritage landscape’ and ‘natural landscape’. This diversity proves the need for theoretical frameworks and methodological tools in educational contexts to address the complexity of landscape through an insightful reading. In particular, we focus on the ‘landscape as an arena’ idea and explore its limits and potentialities in relation to the debate on landscape power and democracy.

Title: Incompleteness: landscapes, cartographies, citizenships
Abstract:
Landscapes as dynamic relations between people and worlds are always incomplete. They are partial understandings, evolving knowledges, edited images and unfinished stories of our designed and undesigned environments. Gaps within and between landscapes can reveal histories omitted and individuals silenced, but this open-endedness of landscapes can also provide opportunities to contribute and participate. In this paper I explore how landscapes are always under construction and I argue that their incompleteness offers potential for new practices. I question, how traditions of mapping can reflect dynamic realities of landscapes; how design and representational practices that attempt to fix time and complete space can work with incompleteness; and how designers and researchers can embrace such landscapes as open-ended, collective endeavours. In this paper, I discuss a mapping project called ‘Incomplete Cartographies’—an experiment with in-progress cartographies, incrementally informed by situated narratives, and producing new forms of belonging.

Title: Landscape education in planning experiences: The case of the regional landscape plan of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy)
Abstract:
The notion of landscape as value that can provoke a re-thinking of democratic processes are increasingly characterising planning and educational experiences at the local/community scale. In this context, the process of the Regional Landscape Plan of Friuli Venezia Giulia (FVG-RLP) is an opportunity for grassroots educational activities on landscape and for the self-recognition of communities as pro-active actors in the political arena. The paper explores the contribution of educational actions to the understanding and development of democratic approaches to landscape, questioning the meaning of ‘democratic landscape’. The research shows the importance of education in gaining awareness of the landscape as a common good and underpins landscape democracy as the result of collaborative and inclusive processes, which go beyond normative participatory clichés.

Title: Educating future landscape professionals about climate change and climate-wise design: current status, priorities, and information needs
Abstract:
While climate change is increasingly being viewed as one of the most critical issues affecting the landscape design and horticultural industries today, research indicates that many current professionals feel unprepared to address climate change issues in their practice. This paper summarises a survey of faculty and students in post-secondary horticulture and landscape architecture/design programmes within the United States about existing practices of educating students (future professionals) about climate change, as well as perceived priority topics and information needs. Results identify areas where additional instructional resources may be needed, as well as climate-related topics receiving more emphasis than others. The study also identifies differences in student and faculty perceptions about the extent and importance of instruction in specific areas. Finally, this paper raises a number of unresolved questions regarding the underlying reasons for some topics receiving greater emphasis, and the potential implications from lack of emphasis on others.

Title: Landscape controversy: a tool and educational device
Abstract:
Since the 2000 European Landscape Convention (ELC), experiences of awareness-raising, landscape mediation and participatory approaches to landscape have multiplied. Among them, controversy analysis is emerging as a stimulating learning situation. Landscape controversies are situations in which landscape is examined; in which its qualities, values and future, are discussed. Controversy as a pedagogical tool enables a political approach to landscape and helps students understand and experiment with the importance of democratic debate. It makes it possible to address landscape through the eyes of each actor, and to understand the diversity of interpretations of a landscape. This success highlights the need to take a reflexive and critical look at approaches to landscape. This paper is based on a research programme, ‘Landscape didactics: sharing experiences and didactic perspectives on landscape controversies’. It discusses landscape education objectives and analyses pedagogical experimentations, in particular controversy studies and debate situations.

Title: The landscape as a learning space. The experiential approach of a ‘landscape school’ in Trentino, Italy
Abstract:
The European Landscape Convention marked an epistemological turn by emphasising the role of personal experience developed within socially constructed frames of reference. The landscape, therefore, should be regarded as a common good, crucial for personal and collective well-being, which implies a commitment of a political nature. This entails widespread awareness, as well as updated technical skills and appropriate politico-administrative actions. Landscape education must play a key role, therefore, but awareness-raising, cultural initiatives, and training processes require approaches and methods centred on experience, thus shifting from teaching to learning, from a passive to an active role of participants. This article analyses the experience of a ‘school’ of landscape education operating since 2009 in Trentino, Italy. It develops an analytical framework and a critical examination of the approaches applied. In particular, it discusses the ‘learning devices’ used to stimulate interest in the landscape and to develop participatory, cooperative and responsible attitudes.

Title: The role of urban greenspace in children’s reward and punishment sensitivity
Abstract:
According to Life History Theory, environments with abundant and reliable resources encourage ‘slow’ (deliberative) strategies that are low-risk and focused on long-term outcomes. Arguably, greener neighbourhoods may approximate such environments, especially in urban settings. This study used the UK’s Millennium Cohort Study to investigate the role of greenness of the child’s immediate residential area at ages 9 months and 3, 5, 7, and 11 years in reward and punishment sensitivity, measured using the Cambridge Gambling Task (CGT), at age 11 years. Our sample was the children who lived in urban areas at all five time-points and with data on the CGT at the fifth (n = 5,012). Consistent with Life History Theory, we found that children in the least green areas were more likely to engage in ‘fast’ decision strategies than other children: they showed higher sensitivity to reward (or lower sensitivity to punishment). This association was robust to adjustment for confounders.

Title: Landscape and education: Politics of/in practices
Abstract:
Education is foundational to the way we see, feel, read, interpret and ‘write’ the landscapes; nevertheless, the learning processes behind these actions are not always explicit and subject to scrutiny. This short editorial, while presenting the six papers that compose this special issue on Landscape and Education, underlines the need of combining interdisciplinary viewpoints towards a greater understanding of the issues of power, access, participation and justice that are incorporated in landscape pedagogies. Being in a university context or within collaborative projects addressing citizens and students, as the papers in this issue reveal, the landscape can always be considered as an emancipatory tool and not merely as an object of learning.

Title: Teaching landscape architecture: a discipline comes of age
Abstract:
Two new books on landscape (architecture) teaching, provided the rationale for this paper. It aims to place these into the context of the development of the landscape architecture discipline in Europe. A description of the beginnings of European university education follows an outline of the genesis of the profession. Moves towards European integration in the 1980s supported the establishment of an institutional framework, allowing the creation of a critical mass of academics, giving new impetus to teaching and research. An EU-funded Thematic Network supported the preparation of a common education guidance document, responding indirectly to the European Landscape Convention’s call for university courses for landscape specialists. The Convention also stimulated a renewed focus on landscape in other fields of study. This has also broadened the horizons of landscape architecture teaching to encompass approaches from related disciplines. Finally, the paper discusses how landscape architecture education should respond to emerging societal challenges.

Title: Photographic dissemination of historic landscape as a tool for citizenship
Abstract:
The article analyses the role of photography in communities’ knowledge and interpretation of historic landscape. Focus is placed on the work of photographic landscape observatories within the European framework, on issues regarding their active development at the present time, and on their effectiveness and presence in tasks related to raising awareness. The UNESCO definitions of Historic Urban Landscape and Cultural Landscape and their revisions launched a debate about the need to document and disseminate landscape —through several media— as strategies to promote reflection among the inhabitants of a region. Since the European Landscape Convention, groups, institutions, and organisations have worked towards encouraging citizen participation in the reflection on the territorial changes brought about by industrialisation, tourism, and urban growth. Along these lines, it is worth looking into the type of methodologies and tools available in photographic observatories and their ability to connect local experience with expert knowledge on historic landscape.T

Title: Hierarchical access to the edible landscape: the Akbarieh Garden in Iran
Abstract:
The Akbarieh Garden in Iran accommodates both pleasure and edible landscapes. In this study, visitor accessibility of the fruit trees of this garden was assessed using continuous and stop-motion walking modes. Results indicated that in the continuous walking mode, focus rested more on recognising the macro elements of the garden along the walkways; therefore, the edible landscape was not adequately considered. In the stop-motion mode, by stopping in successive landscape sequences, the edible landscape could be accessed. However, access to the edible landscape in Akbarieh Garden was limited by several factors. While the perimeter wall limited accessibility, spatial organisation of the garden along two walkways channelled visitors towards the pleasure landscape. In addition, an impenetrable green wall (boxwood) also limited access to the agricultural landscape. Thus, obstacles, longer walks, and the location of the edible landscape in the garden decreased the accessibility of fruit trees in this semi-public urban space.

Title: Landscape design in infrastructure projects - is it an extravagance? A cost-benefit investigation of practices in dams
Abstract:
Landscape design of major civil infrastructure works has often been undermined as a policy requirement or been neglected in practice. We investigate whether this is justified by technical challenges, high costs or proven lack of utility of landscape design of infrastructure, focussing on dam-design practice. Initially, we investigate global practice and identify 56 cases of dams in which landscape or architectural treatment has been applied. We then create a typology of utilised design techniques and investigate their contribution to improving landscape quality perception through literature review and through the analysis of photograph upload densities in geotagged photography databases. Finally, we investigate costs of landscape works, analysing three dam projects in detail. The results demonstrate that landscape design of civil infrastructure (a) improves landscape quality perception of infrastructures’ landscapes and (b) that its implementation can be both economically and technically feasible, especially if existing knowledge from best practices is utilised.

Title: Barrier and corridor effects in cost-distance-based accessibility approximation for LUCC modelling: a case study of Slovakia from 2000 to 2018
Abstract:
This paper tests the use of various barrier and corridor effects in cost distance calculation, which often serves as a proxy for accessibility in Land-Use and Land-Cover Change (LUCC) models. The most suitable friction coefficients for barrier effects of slope and water, and corridor effect of roads, are identified by empirical sensitivity analysis. The influence of accessibility on urbanisation, agricultural intensification, and extensification, afforestation, and deforestation in Slovakia is modelled in the present study. The most significant improvement was achieved using the corridor effect of roads for accessibility to the nearest district town, while the barrier of slope significantly improved the effect of accessibility to the nearest commune. Different optimal friction coefficients were identified for different land cover changes; however, only some of them were sensitive to the change of coefficients.

Title: Ecosystem services and green infrastructure planning of peri-urban lakes: the multifunctionality of Situ Jatijajar and Situ Pengasinan in Depok, Indonesia
Abstract:
This study considers multifunctionality as an all-encompassing concept that addresses the complexity and uncertainty of peri-urban areas towards sustainable landscape development by exemplifying two peri-urban lakes in Depok, which is part of the Jakarta Metropolitan Region, as case studies. This paper applies the analytical framework by Hansen and Pauleit that combines the concepts of ecosystem services and green infrastructure planning to illustrate the complex interrelation of landscape elements and their capacities to deliver multiple ecosystem services. It reveals the different spatial challenges faced by the peri-urban lakes that occurred due to the fragmented nature of landscape in peri-urban areas which has led to the development of different vulnerabilities and resilience capacities of the lakes over time. This study highlights the important roles of local actors and communities in the valuation of ecosystem services and in shaping the peri-urban pathways towards multifunctionality.

Title: Agencies of the present: landscape-making and the herders of lower Mustang, Nepal
Abstract:
Within the vast temporal and spatial footprints of the rangelands of Nepal’s lower Mustang district, herder landscape-making practice and agency unfold. Herders in Mustang today are at the forefront of radical change. They negotiate the complexities of declining fodder, erratic precipitation and shifting demographics through actions in the field. Yet the agencies of these herders—largely transient labourers from marginalised communities—are ignored. Through the lens of herder practices in situ, this article examines the intra-active nature of their agency and the conditions through which it is ignored and obstructed, emergent and critical to the present and possible futures. This research is part of a larger effort to demonstrate that agencies emerging from land-based practice and relations on the ground have profound importance, particularly in a development context dominated by foreign aid agencies.

Title: Effects of seasonality on visual aesthetic preference
Abstract:
Seasonality is a typical feature of landscapes in temperate regions. Seasonality’s effects on visual aesthetic quality (VAQ) are widely recognised but not well understood. To address this gap, 10 sample sites were selected to represent the diversity of urban green spaces in Xuzhou, eastern China, which has a typical temperate monsoon climate. Photographs of the 10 sites were acquired in eight typical months to capture seasonality. Online surveys were used to evaluate the VAQ of the photographs. The mean value of the coefficient of variation of 16 landscape characteristics of a site during the seasons was used to represent seasonal diversity. The results indicated that: (1) the autumn landscape was the most preferred, and the winter landscape was the least preferred; (2) there was a significantly inverted U-shaped relationship between year-round VAQ and seasonal diversity. This is the first study to define seasonal diversity and its effect on VAQ.

Title: Characteristics of novel urban vegetation in two Portuguese urban regions
Abstract:
Urban novel ecosystems were sampled across vacant sites in two Portuguese urban regions. The flora were studied with a focus on species’ origin, life form, ecological, chorological and naturalisation types. A multivariate constrained ordination technique was used to identify relationships between plant composition and environmental factors. The vegetation of the two urban regions shows differences, highlighting biome influence, as well as due to climatic variables and (to a lesser degree) soil characteristics and lithology. Although native species are clearly dominant, the frequency of non-native species is high and most are potentially or effectively invasive. In the ecological spectrum, the dominance of opportunistic ruderal species suggests a risk of biotic homogenisation in these ecosystems, which is also noticeable in the analysis of life form, but less in chorological and nativeness spectra. Portuguese novel urban ecosystems are, therefore, simultaneously an opportunity, since spontaneous vegetation management is more cost effective and can bring wilderness to cities; and a hazard, because invasive species must be controlled to support biodiversity conservation efforts.

Title: Vernacular healing landscapes in Australian aged-care gardens
Abstract:
Designing for people’s health and well-being is one important purpose for landscape design in healthcare environments. The concept of therapeutic landscapes has been applied widely in various healthcare settings. This research extends the concept of therapeutic landscapes in ordinary everyday context and explores the role of gardens in Australian aged-care facilities. Fieldwork shows aged-care residents reclaim the outdoor environment by actively shaping the landscape to create special meanings and embed memories in characterising their current living space. Findings suggest broadening the current understandings of therapeutic landscapes to incorporate residents’ vernacular healing landscapes. This paper addresses a gap in existing literature and introduces the importance of vernacular healing landscapes in aged-care facilities for its holistic reflection of older people’s landscape experiences and connection with residents' memories, which positively contributes to their health and wellbeing. It argues for future design to value and incorporate residents' vernacular healing landscapes in aged-care gardens.

Title: The resurgence of urban foraging under COVID-19
Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic exposed cracks in American food security, as global supply chains seised, movement within cities and regions halted, and restaurant access diminished. During this time, new interest in local food provisioning surfaced in the US, highlighting the value of productive agriculture within urban landscapes. In many areas, this urban food provisioning expanded to include foraging, the practice of acquiring food products from edible landscapes for free. This paper charts the resurgence of urban foraging during the pandemic, frames this activity within theory on do-it-yourself (DIY) urbanism and the right to the city, and makes planning and design recommendations for bolstering this trend in the future. While urban foraging has historically been characterised by bottom-up participation, the addition of top-down organisational frameworks and legal structures could reinforce this practice in North America, helping to promote local food security, particularly during periods of crisis.

Title: David Lowenthal, 1923-2018, renowned academic and public intellectual
Abstract:
Belonging to a family of lawyers and professors, polymath David Lowenthal hated disciplinary divisions. American by birth but British by inclination, he learned the practice of geography through wartime service in Western Europe. During a long and highly productive career, spent mainly at the American Geographical Society and then at University College London, he made important contributions to Caribbean studies, environmental history, landscape interpretation, and cultural and historical geography. His later work on heritage informs management agencies across the globe. The ideas of pioneer environmentalist George Perkins March formed an essential touchstone for many aspects of his writing. In addition to scholarly articles and books (notably The Past is a Foreign Country), Lowenthal produced controversial essays aimed at a wider audience. His impact in the public realm was arguably as great as that among academics.

Title: David Lowenthal on geography and its past
Abstract:
Of the many hats David Lowenthal wore during his long life perhaps the most important was as a geographer. All his permanent academic positions were within institutions of geography. Undoubtedly, he could have moved to another discipline, but he remained a geographer. This paper aims to understand why geography was so alluring for him. It is divided into three parts. The first identifies four broad intellectual themes or interests that course through much of his substantive work: his polymathic inclinations; the centrality of history; the influence of the humanities; and a curiosity about the material environment and landscape. The second is about Lowenthal’s conception of the discipline of geography and why despite being pulled towards other disciplinary concerns he stayed loyal, notwithstanding significant reservations. And the last is about how he understood the discipline’s history which, while he rarely wrote about, he knew well, and partly explaining his more-or-less faithful attachment.

Title: David Lowenthal’s archipelagic landscape of learning
Abstract:
This article discusses David Lowenthal's last book, Quest for the Unity of Knowledge, which was published posthumously by Routledge in 2019 (available in print from November 2018). The book is based on a series of lectures that he gave while a visiting fellow with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology’s Environmental Humanities Laboratory in Stockholm in 2012. Aimed at a general academic audience, it is an erudite and passionate overview showing how ingrained bias towards unity or diversity shapes major issues in education, religion, genetics, race relations, heritage governance, and environmental policy. Quest for the Unity of Knowledge explores the Two Cultures debate, initiated by C.P. Snow, concerning the gulf between the sciences and the humanities. It covers areas such as conservation, ecology, history of ideas, museology, landscape, and heritage studies, aligning with Lowenthal's career-long research interests, and serving as well as a meta-comment to the emerging Environmental Humanities.

Title: Lowenthal, the Caribbeanist
Abstract:
For David Lowenthal, the Caribbean was not simply an academic interest, it was a passionate personal concern for a place, its people, its geographical history and heritage—and the return of that heritage when stolen (a concern that also applied to other parts of the world). His enormous library was as weighted with novels by Caribbean authors as by history and geography texts, and they formed the basis of his book, West Indian Societies, the culmination of many years of detailed observation and investigation of the (non-Hispanic) Caribbean. Lowenthal’s works on the Caribbean were to become significant reference points in interpretations of societal institutions and practices in the Caribbean and its diaspora and in the development of important new areas of research, such as environmental and landscape perception, islands and conservation and heritage studies.

Title: Introducing David Lowenthal’s archipelagic and transatlantic landscapes
Abstract:
This editorial presents the articles contained in a special issue on David Lowenthal. It begins with a biographical sketch by Hugh Clout. Trevor Barnes continues with an article on Lowenthal’s concern with geography and its history. Luca Muscarà provides further biographical background with an article on the influence of Lowenthal’s transatlantic relationship with the French geographer Jean Gottmann beginning during WWII. Kenneth R. Olwig argues in his contribution that Lowenthal’s influential father, the lawyer and left-wing political activist Max Lowenthal, inspired Lowenthal’s literary style and approach to heritage. Lowenthal’s work in conservation is the subject of Laura Alice Watt’s essay. A thread running through all of David’s varied interests was islands; the topic of Elizabeth Thomas-Hope’s contribution. Sverker Sörlin concludes with an essay on the genesis of Lowenthal’s last book from 2019, Quest for the Unity of Knowledge, in the Stockholm Archipelago Lectures.

Title: David Lowenthal and the genesis of critical conservation thought
Abstract:
David Lowenthal’s doctoral biography of George Perkins Marsh, published in 1958, not only brought Marsh into public view as a ‘prophet of conservation’, but arguably created the beginnings of what today could be called the subfield of critical conservation thought. By combining Marsh’s insight about human societies’ relationships with, and responsibility for, the environments around them, Lowenthal’s scholarship pointed the way to what has developed into a diverse field aimed at understanding the complexities and sometimes-contradictions of conservation efforts. This paper traces the influence of Lowenthal’s emphases—on landscape as a tool providing insight into evolving human-environment interactions, the importance of understanding differing perceptions of the environment, and people’s complex intermixing of the present and the past—on shaping the recent decades of conservation debates and scholarship; in many ways, the rest of us are still catching up with David’s ideas first expressed in the 1950s.

Title: Transatlantic landscapes: Gottmann and the roots of Lowenthal’s intellectual heritage
Abstract:
Based on David Lowenthal’s writings, exchanges with the author, and original archival research, this paper discusses how the encounter with Jean Gottmann during WW2 and its aftermath introduced Lowenthal to the French historical-geographical canon and French culture, contributing to his intellectual development at a time of uncertainty about which direction to take. Their transatlantic perspectives helped Lowenthal to perfect his comparative method. Gottmann introduced him to French geography’s connection to history and the role of the terrain, or the need to relate regional to general geography. Their exchanges of the late 1940s and 1950s particularly highlight two important aspects of Lowenthal’s work: his search for an American philosophy of nature, which would root his approach to cultural regionalism and landscape, and the problematic relationship between past and present, opening to his future work on cultural understanding and heritage.

Title: David and Max Lowenthal – and Marsh: public intellectuals and advocates in the political landscape. A personal view
Abstract:
Taking its point of departure in the prominent, and controversial, legal, political and social engagement of David Lowenthal’s lawyer father, Max Lowenthal, this article first explores the evident influence of Max Lowenthal on his son’s distinctive, socially engaged approach to scholarship and writing as an academic, and as a public intellectual. It will then consider how Max Lowenthal’s example facilitated David Lowenthal’s subsequent lifelong involvement with the work of another publicly engaged and multifaceted lawyer, George Perkins Marsh. This background can help understand why David Lowenthal was himself a multifaceted advocate, whose work appealed to a broad readership of academics, professionals and laymen. Focusing on David Lowenthal’s writings from the beginning of his career until his death in 2018, the essay will illuminate the political landscape of his thinking and doing concerning cultural and environmental heritage.

Title: Restorative experiences across seasons? Effects of outdoor walking and relaxation exercise during lunch breaks in summer and winter
Abstract:
This study aimed to explore whether a walk outdoors during a lunch break would promote restorative experiences for a sample of office workers (N = 52), compared to following instructions from an online video of progressive muscle relaxation. Furthermore, the study aimed to compare the impact of a walk during winter to a walk in a summer landscape. Compared to baseline measures, walking in winter and summer were both associated with significantly increased subjective vitality and psychological detachment from work, but there were no significant differences in these specific wellbeing indicators between winter and summer conditions. The indoor muscle relaxation exercise had no effect on psychological detachment from work, but participants who had the relaxation session during summer reported a significant increase in subjective vitality. Active outdoor restoration seems to have a beneficial impact on mental wellbeing, while indoor muscle relaxation may also have some benefits.

Title: A national study of playground professionals universal design implementation practices
Abstract:
Globally, Universal Design (UD) is promoted as an evidence-informed approach for planning and designing accessible and inclusive public playgrounds, which are valuable sites for outdoor play in child-friendly cities. However, it remains unclear the extent to which UD has been implemented in public playgrounds. The purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which UD is implemented, from the perspectives of playground professionals in the Republic of Ireland. A descriptive, cross-sectional online survey was used to gather data. Data analysis revealed that playground professionals recognise the importance of UD for planning, designing, and providing public playgrounds for inclusion, and implement UD in various ways. Still, a lack of knowledge and good practice guides for embedding UD, constitute significant barriers. Numerous opportunities, initiatives and training prospects were identified to better support the implementation of UD. Moreover, further research with ‘professional experts’ and ‘user-experts’ is required to strengthen socio-spatial inclusion.

Title: Soldiers in the garden: managing the US military training landscape
Abstract:
Despite a reputation for destruction, militaries across the world may maintain important biological natural resources that are key to achieving global biodiversity conservation goals. On lands used by militaries for soldier training, numerous rare and endangered species can be found. The study presented here explores the relationship between the Department of Defense (DoD) and the species it hosts by considering the military training landscape as perceived by DoD employees. To construct a more complete understanding of the conceptualizations of the ideal training landscape, we interviewed land managers at several training installations. We found that the underlying beliefs that managers have about training, war, and nature influence their view of the ideal training landscape. These beliefs have indirect yet tangible impacts on the environment as the management practices implemented to bring about the ideal training landscape contribute to achieving conservation objectives and promoting threatened and endangered species on military land.

Title: Assessing equality in neighbourhood availability of quality greenspace in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
Abstract:
We assess the relationship between neighbourhood-level deprivation and local greenspace quality in Glasgow, Scotland. There is interest globally in inequality within the accessibility of urban greenspace. It is recognised that social and political inequalities can lead to less well-off areas having less or lower-quality greenspace. We evaluate the relationship between neighbourhood-level deprivation and greenspace quality by combining socio-economic data with assessment of neighbourhood greenspace from Google Street View, subjecting our observations to statistical testing. On nearly all measures of greenspace quality, there is a statistically significant correlation between deprivation and greenspace quality, with more disadvantaged areas having lower-quality greenspace. We show it is not only the presence or extent of greenspace, but also the characteristics within greenspaces, that vary with deprivation. As existing research suggests, greenspace attributes such as tranquillity, greenness and perceived safety are important to unlock the health, wellbeing and resilience benefits that good quality greenspace can provide.

Title: A Picturesque vertical montage: auditory and visual sequences at Rousham garden
Abstract:
This article examines the under-researched relationship between the auditory and visual sequences of spatial experience at Rousham garden, a highly regarded Picturesque landscape. It examines historic sources and broader literature against contemporary data collected on-site, arguing that conventional readings of the Picturesque underplay the multisensory nature of spatial experience of these landscapes. It then argues that this relationship could be productively analysed and represented by vertical montage as defined by Russian film director Sergei Eisenstein (1898–1948), and in re-evaluating this auditory and visual experience, provides a new understanding of the Picturesque that moves beyond the conventional notions of the pleasures of seeing. Finally, in examining how this experience is related to time, movement, tempo and sound, it creates a new method for reading and representing design features from the senses of sound and vision.

Title: Infrastructure territories as moving landscapes: using digital media to narrate a Montreal highway corridor (Canada)
Abstract:
Urban highways tend to divide and fragment cities. As such infrastructure ages, questions about their future arise. An example of such a highway is the Montreal gateway corridor (Autoroute 20 and 720), which links downtown to Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport in Montreal, Canada. In advance of considering the redesign of this highway, this research explores how such infrastructure is not just visualised as technical territory but also as social landscape. A methodological approach that bridges ethnography, visual studies, and mobility methods is tested to document the daily experience along this urban highway. Qualitative go-along interviews, documented with a digital video camera, were used to capture the dynamic experience of urban infrastructure. The concurrently verbatim account and video sequences analysis helped to access meaning, embodied in the participant’s experiences, as well as to make possible the interpretation of aspirations for the redesign of these infrastructure territories.

Title: Assessing ecological conditions for landscape management: a comparative analysis of field measurements and perceptions
Abstract:
Assessments of ecosystem condition are fundamental to landscape management, and there are several sources of evidence practitioners may use. Perceptions of individuals is one of those sources, and understudied. This study quantitatively compares ecological field measurements and the perceptions of a group of key individuals. Findings reveal that perceptions did not statistically differ from the ecological assessment for elements of ecosystem composition (e.g. vegetation diversity and invasive species). However, differences were found for all other elements (e.g. ecosystem function, structure, and overall condition), such that the individuals tended to have lower ratings of ecosystem condition than ecological assessments. The findings highlight the importance of comparing different approaches for reciprocal verification of data and to identify opportunities to integrate evidence, thereby providing a more detailed picture of ecosystem condition.

Title: Potential of airborne LiDAR data in detecting cultural landscape features in Slovakia
Abstract:
High-resolution Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scanners provide detailed information on terrain surfaces, thus enabling the detection of the topographic signatures of historical anthropogenic landforms overgrown by trees or covered by the soil surface. This study aimed to examine the potential of incoming nationwide LiDAR data for detecting the cultural landscape features in Slovakia. We derived a detailed digital elevation model from LiDAR points and adopted upgraded visualisation techniques based on the combination of local relief models, sky view factor, slope steepness, and colour blending. We visually identified examples of different anthropogenic landforms and confirmed our findings with existing literature. In addition, we provide examples of previously unknown historical anthropogenic landforms discovered from LiDAR images. Finally, we discuss the potential and limits of LiDAR data in exploring and protecting different groups of historic anthropogenic landforms as remnants of past cultural landscapes in Slovakia.

Title: The cooling effect of green infrastructure in mitigating nocturnal urban heat islands: a case study of Yoyogi Park and Meiji Jingu Shrine in Tokyo
Abstract:
This study assesses the implementation of green infrastructure plans to mitigate the effects of nocturnal urban heat islands in Yoyogi Park and Meiji Jingu Shrine in the surrounding Shibuya urban area, Tokyo. The study revealed there to be a strong correlation between green spaces and air temperature (Ta) during the early morning, where a Ta inversion occurred tens of metres from the ground due to radiant cooling. Air (park breeze) flowed through valleys and gaps between mid-high-rise buildings. Based on wind simulation results, three green infrastructure plans were created to connect the Yoyogi Park green space and the airflow area with the green network. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling and thermal simulations clarified a cooling effect of the green infrastructure plans on the surrounding Shibuya urban area. This will be useful for consensus building among the Shibuya population and decision making regarding the City Master Plan, and other urban areas.

Title: Examining PhD modes in the Australian landscape architecture academy
Abstract:
Australia’s accredited landscape architecture programs shifted from few faculty members holding a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) to where holding this qualification is now essential. For conferral, the Australian Qualifications Framework mandates the PhD qualification demonstrate ‘a significant and original contribution to knowledge’. Examining snapshot periods of 2009 and 2019, we identify, evaluate and discuss the number and distribution of academics obtaining this qualification in accredited Australian landscape architecture university programs. We suggest there are five primary PhD modes of research, by: Dissertation, Publication, Dissertation with Embedded Design Experiment/Creative Inquiry, Creative Practice, and Reflection. Findings demonstrate a 268% growth in employed academics holding a PhD qualification, a dominant yet declining trend for the mode PhD by Dissertation and increasing conferral of modes containing design research components. Our work concludes by discussing the five PhD modes to contribute to the profession's pedagogical approaches.

Title: Social media for landscape planning and design: a review and discussion
Abstract:
This report systematically reviews the academic literature on social media’s applications in landscape planning and design. As an emerging data source, social media help overcome the limitations associated with traditional datasets that focus primarily on environmental information; they explicitly or implicitly reveal important information concerning human behaviours, landscape values, and landscape perceptions. Key findings include: (1) social media data can be valid proxies for data collected from traditional methods, while presenting advantages of cost and time savings, and capturing the intangible and subjective dimension of cultural ecosystem services; (2) geospatial location, text information, and photo content are the primary data parameters in use; and (3) most studies currently focus on large/regional-scale, nonurban areas. We further identified four themes that characterise the current stage of social media applications. Challenges and prospects of social media in landscape studies are also discussed.

Title: Policy tools for preserving peri-urban agricultural landscape: from social justice to quality of life
Abstract:
Landscape preservation policies can affect quality of life. In the peri-urban area of Milan, public landowners implemented new forms of lease agreements to transfer maintenance costs of built rural heritage to their tenants, avoid degradation and add value to unused buildings. The aim of the study, based on a qualitative sociological analysis, is to examine this policy tool through the lenses of social justice, investigating its impact on quality of life. The questions that will be asked include: what dynamics of social justice are embedded in this tool? What could be the indirect effects on landscape preservation and quality of life? The main results show that the same policy tool, if implemented with different strategies, can lead to very different outcomes in terms of landscape preservation and quality of life, depending on the elements of social justice considered as well as contextual and individual characteristics.

Title: Landscape injustices in polarised communities: unearthing perceptions at Sitia UNESCO Geopark, Greece
Abstract:
Local planning conflicts can stem from perceived inherent landscape injustice. This article explores how conflicting community perceptions of such injustice can be analysed through local collaborative decision-making processes. A theoretical framework to analyse landscape injustice is proposed and applied to the Sitia UNESCO Geopark (East Crete, Greece). This paper thus examines whether, as part of the knowledge formation processes for the holistic treatment of landscape, landscape planning should explicitly analyse landscape visions, values, threats and injustice at a local community scale, and explores how their explicit consideration can contribute to planning processes in polarised communities. The case study results indicated that polarised (pro-environment vs pro-development) community stakeholders shared visions and values of their ideal landscape, including common root causes of perceived injustice. The analysis of landscape injustice revealed state and external interventions leading to local people’s loss of land ownership and procedural marginalisation from decision-making processes regarding the landscape and its future use.

Title: Historical landed commons in Greece: a governance system at risk on Astypalaia Island
Abstract:
Τhe paper analyses an insular community, Astypalaia in the Aegean Sea, which hosts a distinct commons institution that has acted as a governance catalyst. It has so far safeguarded the delicate balance between the development of supplementary subsistence activities (agricultural, pastoral, fisheries, and food processing-supply), community building, fair distribution, and management of landed resources, and overall landscape justice. This article unfolds the critical factors that have fostered or restrained the longevity of this Landed Commons (LCs) and reveals the emerging risks from both exogenous (international and nationwide dynamics) and endogenous (organisational structures and governance capacity) agents. The case of Astypalaia is placed within the broader debate on the role of commons in local communities, leading to significant insights into how this LCs can be revalorised by the host community establishing renewed stewardship within current socio-economic trajectories.

Title: ‘Winners’ and ‘losers’ of the agricultural expansion in the Argentine Dry Chaco
Abstract:
Biodiversity and natural resources constitute a social safety net for forest-dependent communities and represent their main source of livelihood. Agricultural expansion driven by global food demand is not only deeply altering landscapes at the local level but also affect the forms of life and culture of rural life. These changes are increasing inequalities between stakeholders in developing countries and causing the direct displacement of numerous rural families. In this article, we focus on the Argentine Dry Chaco, one of the most threatened forest systems in the world, to analyse evidence about how land-use changes asymmetrically affect social wellbeing across landscapes and generate conflicts between stakeholders regarding the use and access to natural resources. This information needs to be considered for better territorial planning and to propose conflict resolution strategies towards more just and sustainable relationships between people and nature in complex landscapes.

Title: Landscape justice, place and quality of life in ‘archipelagic’ worlds
Abstract:
This special issue is concerned with landscape justice understood as people’s emplaced right to landscape as a common good of importance to their quality of life in a world of landscapes conceptualized as being archipelagic in character – even when they occur within continents. Archipelagic refers to landscapes that have an insular character, which gives each a special historical and cultural identity, but that are also are linked to other landscapes in a meshwork of interactions. The issue includes articles on Greek and Faroese literally archipelagic landscapes, as well as articles from Denmark, Italy and even Argentina.

Title: Landscape, justice and the quality of life in emblematically embodied nation/states – the case of Denmark
Abstract:
The modern notion of the landscape of the nation-state, we argue, emerged in part through an ‘emblematic’ fusion of the nation, imagined as a bio-organic body-politic, and the state conceptualised in geo-metric terms as the Euclidean, cartographic framework within which that body operates. The eliding of the geo-metric with the bio-organic has influenced national discourse, law and practice by defining the legal and social right to belong within this landscape in bio-spatial terms. This is exemplified by the international political cause célèbre of the ‘Schleswig-Holstein Border Question’ and its continuing ramifications for the quality of life in Denmark—particularly for those living in the landscapes of state-designated immigrant ‘ghettoes’ scheduled for physical and social eradication because their settlements are perceived as endangering the bio-spatial cohesion of the ‘nation-state’.

Title: Landscape and justice: the case of Greeks, space and law
Abstract:
Discourses of landscape and justice entail tensions, claims and conflicts over landed rights and identities; they reveal how landscape comes into being through land stewardship that responds to these tensions and interactions. This article critically traces the drivers of custom and change, and their impact on the land in the context of community life in Greece, starting from, and referring back to, landscape. The relationship of Greeks to land and landscape tends to defy standard legal ‘reason’ and ‘logic’ regarding sustainable and democratic stewardship of landscape as a common good; it is rather shaped through the negation of top-down legislation of various sorts, creating room for anarchic landscapes, that may contribute to community-building, but are also often wrought by narrowly defined, short-term interests. Such practices may operate to the detriment of social needs and to rights, but also claim room and prospect for community survival, under dire conditions of contemporary socio-economic crisis.

Title: The Faroese Commons and the biodiversity and sustainable development agendas
Abstract:
Since 1992 World Summit in Rio, Sustainable Development and Biodiversity have been the two main agendas which have been developed to counteract the environmental problems resulting from industrial modernisation. Although these agendas should be complementary, there are tensions between them due to a widespread reluctance towards integration. This is especially problematic in relation to many historical productive cultural landscapes. Clear examples can be found in pastoral areas where the rewilding of historical grazing areas, to achieve a presumed increased biodiversity, conflicts with centuries old stable grazing systems which are managed by local/indigenous polities. These grazing systems are also prized for their diversity and amenity value. An example of how the sustainability and biodiversity agendas can be integrated under the management of local polities is elucidated in this study of the sustainability of sheep grazing on the Faroe Islands regulated by the ancient Nordic ‘skipan’ principle.

Title: Dirty, filthy cities: Australian crime films and cultural contexts in Melbourne and Sydney
Abstract:
Australia is a country of extreme landscapes: untamed natural coastlines through to the mysterious and dangerous interior. Australian cinema has regularly showcased the country’s landscape, often creating a sense of character in the land itself. Although the majority of Australians live in the major metropolitan hubs of the country, cities in cinema lose distinctiveness on-screen to augment opportunities for international success. However, two cities can be considered as having strong identities that are present on film: Melbourne and Sydney. By examining a selection of films that are specifically linked to these locations, this article suggests the crime genre has identified and captured challenging trends in these cities’ recent histories: racial tension from increased diversity and multiculturalism in Australia’s urban centres, declining confidence in law enforcement and police corruption, and high levels of dangerous drug use. This article will closely examine four films: Romper Stomper (Geoffrey Wright, 1992), Animal Kingdom (David Michôd, 2010), Felony (Matthew Saville, 2013) and Little Fish (Rowan Woods, 2005).

Title: Examining coastal sense of place through community geography in Island County, Washington
Abstract:
The world’s coastlines are changing, partly the result of population growth and shoreline development (e.g., infrastructure). Coastal landscape changes are reflected and experienced at the local scale, where landscape modifications and their impacts take place. Island County, Washington (U.S.) is experiencing such changes. Island County’s 349 kilometres of coastline are being impacted by the growing threat of coastal infrastructure, which hardens the shoreline and negatively impacts natural nearshore processes and habitats. Coastal changes also impact communities and their connections to the landscape. Through a community geography approach, this paper examines Island County residents’ coastal sense of place. Respondents overall have a strong coastal sense of place, including shared place meanings. This strong sense of place is associated with shoreline visit frequency and feelings about change. The paper’s findings demonstrate how residents feel and connect to the coastline, and why such local insights matter to coastal planning and recovery.

Title: The haunted Soviet landscape and nuclear melancholy in Andrei Tarkovsky and Alexander Gordon’s There Will Be No Leave Today (1959)
Abstract:
A haunting past dominates the work of European filmmakers in the post-war period, and this article addresses the hauntological spectre of war in There Will Be No Leave Today, a very early film of Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky in partnership with Alexander Gordon. The article draws on Jacques Derrida’s Hauntology, Julia Kristeva’s abjection and Gilles Deleuze’s ‘out-of-field’ theory as a methodology to examine ideas of haunting and abjection in Tarkovsky and Gordon’s fledgling film in relation to the interconnection between spaces and their histories in the work. It also makes connections with contemporary cinema in Europe and as such explores Mikhail Kalatozov’s The Cranes are Flying and Alain Resnais’s Hiroshima Mon Amour. I examine how the featured cinematic works compare and contrast with Tarkovsky and Gordon’s own stylistic vision and how the landscape in the films is a space of memory and historical trauma.

Title: Building community (gardens) on university campuses: masterplanning green-infrastructure for a post-COVID moment
Abstract:
Urban community gardens are well known as safe and friendly spaces that help shape a sense of community. Their capacity to reflect these ideals in the higher education policy sector has been less examined, even though students are particularly well-disposed to reaping the healing benefits of gardens. COVID-19 displaced students and shut down campuses globally. With Australian universities reopening, fostering a sense of community and re-establishing campus culture is among top priorities. This paper uses a multiple case-study methodology to explore how a unique policy instrument—the university ‘masterplan’–expresses the benefits of campus community gardens, as green community spaces, and how they might better aid universities in achieving strategic missions. The research compares dominant themes in the community garden literature with the visions of campus masterplans to understand how community gardens might be better positioned as tools for place and community building. The results provide a finer-grained understanding of green infrastructure in campus master planning for a post-COVID-19 moment.

Title: The historic character of a depopulating borderland: historic landscape characterisation on the Duero River
Abstract:
International borderland landscapes have a shared history through the movement of ideas, people, culture, and even conflict. Understanding the similarities and nuanced differences of temporal landscape change between frontiers requires approaches that can effectively detail and explain the territorial evolution of both countries. Historic Landscape Characterisation (HLC) is a valuable methodological tool originally used for landscape studies in the United Kingdom. Its application outside of Britain has been limited. In this pilot study, HLC is used in the Duero River borderland context of Spain and Portugal. It is a rural region with a common history, but it also presents new methodological challenges in the acquisition of source data and the creation of a typology that effectively characterises the region while also recognising the distinctiveness between nations. This research presents the development of the classes and broad types chosen for this analysis and demonstrates their diachronic evolution to the present.

Title: Berlin: palimpsests of a great city
Abstract:
Can there be another European city that has undergone so many dramatic transformations over the past hundred years as Berlin? The city has seen so much of history, created, and been the subject of, so many stories, and thus comprises so many versions of itself. The present article explores how Berlin films contain multiple historical and textual palimpsests, focussing on Walther Ruttmann’s Berlin: Symphony of a Great City as the urtext of all subsequent Berlin films. Particular attention will then be paid to Berlin Symphony, Thomas Schadt’s riposte to Ruttmann’s film seventy-five years on, and the more recent Symphony of Now, directed by Johannes Schaff and which, in effect, responds to both. This article argues that these films, in complementary ways, uncover the cultural, historical and architectural palimpsests inscribed within the fabric of the city in their response to Ruttmann’s urtext.

Title: A city in flames: King’s Landing as artistic archive in HBO’s Game of Thrones
Abstract:
As a study of the final two episodes of HBO’s epic medieval fantasy television series Game of Thrones (2011–19), this article seeks to examine the ways in which formal analysis of the televisual text can offer an insight into how the showrunners Dan Benioff and D.B. Weiss situate their production as an artistic archive. In this essay, I explicate my definition of the artistic archive as one in which directors and the showrunners service intratextuality by referring back to previous episodes in the series, alongside other intertexts in their construction of the series’ dramatic denouement, one that involves the destruction of the show’s primary city setting: King’s Landing. As part of this process, I analyse how the episodes respond to conventions set by Hollywood genres of the medieval film and the war film, with Robert Burgoyne’s notion of the ‘body in peril’ providing a lens through which to ascertain intertextuality pertaining to the latter.

Title: Barry Hines’s palimpsestic city
Abstract:
This article examines a range of Barry Hines’s works set in Sheffield to argue for the city’s palimpsestic function, in relation to its spatial and temporal identity and broader symbolic role. Throughout, we will draw on sources including material from Hines’s archive, held at the University of Sheffield, and that of his long-term collaborator Ken Loach, from London’s BFI, to reveal the layered nature of the image of the city in three of his films. We conclude by arguing that the historical layering of Sheffield and its history as revealed by these three films is the result of careful and politicised artistry rather than documentary observation.

Title: Learning and teaching academic standards in landscape architecture
Abstract:
Developing and assessing learning outcomes for work-readiness and employment has been long overdue in Landscape Architecture in Australia, but few studies have shown how this could be done at a local level. Aligned with the academic standards for bachelor and masters levels, as mandated by the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), an iterative three-stage approach was undertaken to develop Threshold Learning Outcomes (TLOs) for a revised national accreditation of Australian Landscape Architecture programmes. Ten TLOs, across the domains of graduate knowledge, skills/abilities and individual attributes were developed in relation to participant’s comments in the study. Participants also advocated for the assessment of TLOs such as open ended tasks, problem-solving tasks, portfolios and peer assessments for assessing domains of graduate attributes. National academic standards and assessments are thus suggested here as minimum threshold learning outcomes that can be customised and assessed by Landscape Architecture programme directors in Australian universities.

Title: Back to basics in landscape architecture pedagogy through collage and model-making: a qualitative study in Korean basic-level design education
Abstract:
Rigid and conventional drawing training is unfamiliar to first-year Korean students who generally complete natural sciences in Korean high school. This study uses a qualitative case study of a Korean landscape design studio to examine approaches to improving the academic performance of Korean basic-level landscape design studios by actively using collage and model-making as pedagogical tools for generating creative design ideas. First, I used a literature review to scrutinise the significant roles of various types of hand-drawing, which informed the design of an alternative studio program, which I implemented. This changed the conventional order of the design studio process to encourage students to use landscape collages and models as creative design ideation and development tools. These tools were effective for understanding a spatial sense of scale, creative design ideation, landform study, texture, and materials application. The findings contribute to an alternative approach to Korean and international basic-level landscape design education.

Title: Out in the open and invisible: the city as archive in the essay film San Sabba
Abstract:
Independent filmmaking is often faced with difficulties. For the team behind San Sabba, the issue resided in the invisibilities embedded in the film’s location: a concentration camp within the city of Trieste. This article will explore how and why the writer and director of San Sabba considered Trieste as an archive of multiple histories, memories, and postmemory due to the historical findings the film is based on, and how silenced history informed a phenomenological examination of what a landscape can add to the collective memory. Linking other locations in the city, which contribute to the elucidation of stories and histories deprived of public attention, this article analyses the historical data and considers the ontological qualities of the landscape as an archive where dominant narratives impact the understandings of present and past identities.

Title: Place meanings of Dutch raised bog landscapes: an interdisciplinary long-term perspective (5000 BCE–present)
Abstract:
Few natural landscapes have been so negatively stereotyped as raised bogs. These stereotypes as well as knowledge gaps on bog perceptions have hampered the development of nuanced and realistic views on humans’ historical relations to bogs. We studied variation in eight bog place meanings (attachment, beauty, biodiversity, functionality, risk, admiration, historicity, and mystery) from prehistory to present by integrating qualitative archaeological and historical with quantitative survey evidence on Dutch bog areas. Virtually all place meanings were found in late modern and present-day material. In older periods, functionality, risk, and mystery were dominant. Daytime/night-time differences could explain the co-existence of apparently opposite place meanings. Physical bog landscape characteristics were important place meaning determinants, and similar meaning patterns across different bog areas underlined this. The long co-existence of mystery (and risk) alongside functional meanings may explain the persistent popularity of negative bog stereotypes.

Title: An integrated approach to modelling the interaction of the natural landscape and the karez water system in Turpan (Xinjiang, P.R.C.)
Abstract:
The research in this paper focusses on examining the link between the karez and their location in the physical landscape. The landscape can be divided into specific classes dependent on their natural characteristics, such as slope, drainage, and soil properties. These classes are compared to the known karez locations, settlement, and vegetation throughout time using Corona KH4B-, Landsat 8-, and Pleiades 1-imagery. It is shown that the karez are indeed restricted to certain landscape types, nonetheless, variety is still possible within one site location. When including settlement patterns, they are heavily influenced by the presence of karez and/or surface water. The connection between the landscape classes, the karez, and the settlements is evident but interestingly some aspects cannot be explained fully by the physical surroundings only. This leads to believe that other agents must also be present of socio-economical, mental, or historical nature.

Title: A review of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus tarandus) disturbance research in Northern Europe: towards a social-ecological framework?
Abstract:
Disturbance of wild reindeer from human activity is a key challenge for wildlife management. We reviewed recent literature on reindeer disturbance in Northern Europe and discuss a major lacuna in this field of research, namely knowledge about the complexity of human behaviour, which is the major agent of disturbance. Past studies have rarely included detailed data on human activities, but instead treated fixed infrastructure as valid proxies for human presence. However, ignoring the dynamic and flexible nature of human agency as a driver of disturbance may bias our interpretation of the observed responses. We argue that incorporating information about the spatiotemporal patterns of human use of infrastructure and the characteristics of the users may greatly improve our knowledge of the potential impacts on wild and semi-domestic reindeer populations and contribute to improved management of their ranges.

Title: Boundary thinking in landscape architecture and boundary-spanning roles of landscape architects
Abstract:
Landscape architects play important roles in addressing societal challenges. To successfully address these challenges, this essay argues that they need to expand their understanding of boundaries and engage in boundary thinking. Distinguishing between physical, mental and socially constructed boundaries, we characterise boundary thinking as a creative process and productive motive in designing landscapes. Subsequently, we present four types of boundary-spanning roles for landscape architects to perform—the subject-based designer, the visionary narrator, the process-based designer, and the design-led entrepreneur—and point to the cognitive and social capacities needed to play any of these roles. We propose for landscape architecture to consider boundary thinking in agenda setting discourses and to include boundary spanning into practice. We suggest three avenues to pursue in realising professional opportunities: exploring the roles landscape architects play, understanding the environment that enables boundary-spanning work, and developing boundary theory in landscape architectural research.

Title: Mobile drawing methods in landscape research: collaborative drawing in Kathmandu Valley, Nepal
Abstract:
In this paper, we show how mobile drawing methodologies can bring the dynamic, relational and non-representational qualities of landscape encounters to the foreground. The research paper discusses a mobile drawing project that took place in the Kathmandu Valley, Nepal. The project entitled ‘Taxi Guff-Gaff’ invited participants to undertake a collaborative drawing and conversational journey. Mobile drawing together on a bumpy taxi journey required artist participants to move together and literally ‘pay attention to the moment at hand’. In so doing it produced imagery that foregrounds the inherent dynamic quality of all our landscape encounters. We propose that mobile drawing offers an immersive way to relate to the urban landscape and each other and can open up spaces of landscape research that centre on speculative forms of thinking, being, drawing and conversation.

Title: World heritage as authentic fake: Paradisic Reef and Wild Tasmania
Abstract:
This paper explores how the imagined landscapes that act as a catalyst for World Heritage listing, are unable to be reconciled with formal heritage assessments. We explore this tension through two Australian World Heritage landscapes: the Great Barrier Reef and the Tasmanian Wilderness. The history of these listings suggests a teleological process driven by a desire to create authentic utopias. While utopias are imagined spaces, Paradise at the Reef and the Tasmanian Wilderness are realised through hyperreal landscapes (fakes). However, these wholistic landscapes dissolve into a series of inventories of species and numbers in official listing. We suggest the failure to recognise the hyperreal is a form of false consciousness that creates a tension between managing for formally recognised values and managing the unmanageable utopia, and that a broader use of cultural landscapes might be useful in addressing this divide.

Title: Ink wash virtualities in Qing landscape painting
Abstract:
This study considers virtuality in Qing ink wash landscape paintings via an album by Pan Gongshou (1741–94). We examine the painterly devices by which a liminal, ‘virtual,’ space is constructed as a ‘realm’ or world in which the viewer is synaesthetically absorbed into a landscape image. Landscape in this tradition is not a pure creation of the human gaze, nor a representation of material elements and topography. We examine the painterly devices through which a sublime loss of critical distance is linked to the represented elements to absorb the viewer into what Wang Guoweii (1877–1927) proposed as a ‘realm without self.’ Virtualities are intangible but real; they supplement material elements that are represented, changing their meaning and affect. These qualities are at the heart of a geometry of gazes and relations that compose the visual experience of a virtual landscape.

Title: Retain the common ground: implications of research on fringe belt and urban green infrastructure for urban landscape revitalisation, a case of Quanzhou
Abstract:
Recent studies present a confluence, although rarely discussed, of urban morphology and urban green infrastructure (UGI), considering their growing concern for green space planning and management during landscape revitalisation. This research thus explores their under-investigated associations: the significance of the fringe belt (FB) as both a morphological concept and physical entity for UGI planning. Following the direction of this intersection, it explores the implications for urban landscape revitalisation, taking a UNESCO cultural-historical city Quanzhou (China) as a case study.The case study follows a historico-geographical approach to landscape analysis. The collected information is synthesised into the ArcGIS platform to create diachronic models to support the analysis. It presents interconnections of the uncoordinated redevelopment of inner FB, disintegration of the green-space system, and socio-spatial and environmental problems in Quanzhou. An integrated spatial strategy is recommended to retain the connectivity, accessibility, and multifunctionality of its inner FB as UGI for landscape revitalisation.

Title: Emptying the landscape: outsider place-making, tourism and migration in Sikkim, India
Abstract:
Lachung valley in north Sikkim, India is valorised and marketed as a pristine, traditional, culturally and ecologically rich landscape. Tourism in Sikkim relies on a trail of non-local tour operators, hotel chains and migrant labour, which in turn, has emptied the landscape of local communities who out-migrate for education and employment. This emptying however, comes not from displacement or dispossession, but from the effectiveness of local land regimes that allow many locals to live and work in other parts of the state while generating profits from the land. The paper focuses on tourist-based placemaking in Sikkim, India to illustrate, first, the reconfiguration of socio-spatial relationships as a result of tourism as a development strategy; second, the transformation of the landscape and the attendant mobilities that it enables, and finally, the material, social and political assemblages crucial to the production of the constantly shifting understandings of space and place.

Title: Learning from Hampstead’s Pergola: walking and image-making at a spectacular Edwardian structure
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the extraordinary 245-metre-long Pergola on Hampstead Heath, designed by renowned landscape architect Thomas Mawson between 1905 and 1925, and funded by William Lever, Lord Leverhulme, owner of the property. The paper focuses on the Pergola’s potential as an exemplar for considering more creative, sensory and sociable provision for urban pedestrians After detailing its origins and key features, the discussion explores the shifting uses of the Pergola over the past hundred years as it has changed from private realm to public space, yet these changes have accentuated its enduring landscape architectural qualities as a structure for pleasurable walking. The paper particularly focuses how the structure has been adopted as a contemporary site for walking and as a venue for numerous photographic and filmic practices. I conclude by suggesting that these virtues might inform more assiduous pedestrians provision following the rise in walking during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Title: Spatiotemporal narrative structure of the lingering garden based on traditional Chinese conception of time and space
Abstract:
Classical Chinese gardens have a distinct layout structure. By studying the traditional Chinese conception of space–time and its characteristics, this article explores the spatiotemporal narrative structure and typological patterns of the Lingering Garden, which is highly representative of Souzhou gardens in China. While existing literature addresses the sagittal and cyclical concepts of space–time, this paper advances a separate and interactive view of space–time using Yin-Yang transformation logic. Field research revealed that three space–time natures emerge as three spatiotemporal narratives in the Lingering Garden (sagittal, cyclical, and separate-and-interactive) with different characteristics. These modes intertwine in different ways in the garden’s five areas to form the Lingering Garden’s holistic spatiotemporal narrative structure, which nurtures dynamic experiences and infinite imagination. This result helps us better understand other Chinese gardens and supplements the theory of gardening art; however, more case studies should be done to determine its generalisability.

Title: Restorative urban environments for healthy cities: a theoretical model for the study of restorative experiences in urban built settings
Abstract:
Urban landscapes are becoming the main ecosystem for human life. Given that urban living can be associated with poor psychological health, one specific challenge faced by cities is related to psychological well-being. The current essay discusses how restorative environments research can offer significant insights into the strategy of healthy cities by guiding the exploration of their restorative outcomes. We propose a theoretical model elucidating the physical and symbolic features of urban settings that can aid processes of active and passive restoration—based on theory and evidence from restorative environments research. Future research should consider urban psychological restoration in a broader sense and lend greater relevance to the exploration of the restorative potential of the full range of urban built settings.HIGHLIGHTSThere is a need to explore the characteristics of urban built settings that support psychological health.We propose a three-level model of restoration that discusses supportive features and potential benefits.Active restoration—activated by top-down features—enhances positive affect and well-being in non-stressed individuals.Future research should broaden theoretical definitions and explore the full range of restorative built settings.

Title: Grass-power: the political ecology of the grass crop in Ireland
Abstract:
Utilising actor-network theory, this paper conducts an analysis of the grass crop in Ireland’s political ecology – showing the ability of non-human agents, in the words of Bruno Latour, to ‘make us do things’. In particular, it examines the mutually beneficial and extended interests of the grass crop with the dairy industry – this is well represented by the state and herein termed grass-power. This shows how Ireland is staged as a ‘grass country’ to a global audience, making dairy consumption appear neutral and inevitable. To date, the role of the grass crop in Ireland’s political ecology has been neglected, although it is shown here to be at the centre of environmental harms. This analysis reveals the contradictions and competing aims of Irish food strategies and suggests that to build sustainable landscapes, the imaginary that grass-cover is the only legitimate form of land use must be displaced and unravelled from political interests.

Title: Ambiguous temporariness: production of time-space territories in Hong Kong’s small urban open spaces
Abstract:
This article integrates temporality into territoriality theories and investigates Hong Kong’s small urban open spaces through a territorial perspective. It conceptualises these compact public open spaces as landscapes of different territorial events, foregrounds the temporal aspects of the territorialising processes, and analyzes the frictions between the various social and environmental processes that define the city’s formative cycles. Focussing specifically on sitting-out areas and rest gardens, the smallest components of the city’s official network of open-spaces that are often created through temporary government land allocations, this study offers a unique local narrative within the larger discussion of creating small-scale, opportunistically-achieved, temporary open spaces around the world. Three detailed case studies examined in this article reveal diverse forms of territorial production specific to Hong Kong’s geographical, socio-economic and cultural context, collectively contributing to a critical understanding of the ‘temporariness’ of the city’s small urban open spaces characterised by ambiguity, volatility and uncertainty.

Title: Towards a typology of agri-urban patterns to support spatial planning: evidence from Lisbon, Portugal
Abstract:
Urbanisation in Europe has been the main cause of agricultural land fragmentation and agricultural land use loss and has given rise to significant socio-economic and environmental costs, particularly in urban regions. Accordingly, there is a consensus in the literature that sustaining urban and peri-urban agriculture are significant towards urban sustainable development. This paper aims to characterise agri-urban spatial patterns and changes occurring in the Lisbon metropolitan region (LMR) by using indicators from both urban and agricultural dimensions. A self-organising map (SOM) clustering method was used to build an agri-urban classification. Nine clusters were proposed. We found that in the LMR, urban and agriculture patterns are diverse: agriculture can range from gardening to intensive and extensive forms; and from decline to stability. We discuss that the use of multidimensional indicators enables comprehensive typologies and allows for a better territorial diagnosis that can contribute to informing decision-makers towards more effective protection of agriculture in spatial planning.

Title: Landscape planning for sustainable water management: a systematic review of green infrastructure literature in the Australian context
Abstract:
Australian cities have experienced a high number of floods and droughts. In Australia, green infrastructure (GI) is increasingly popular in considering natural processes in sustainable water management practices. However, to date, there has been little examination of how the academic literature has addressed the use of GI in Australian landscape planning for water management. To investigate this, we applied a thematic framework and used the PRISMA approach to identify and analyse 98 peer-reviewed papers to better understand whether and how landscape planning perspectives are considered in current water management approaches in Australia. We found a recent increase in Australian-based literature related to GI for water management. However, there is limited literature discussing the significance of landscape connectivity and the multi-functionality of GI. This article concludes with recommendations for future research on the landscape planning principles of multi-functionality, landscape connectivity, and the integration of multiple scales of GI in Australian urban water management.

Title: Exploring the cultural heritage space adaptability of the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal based on point of interest data
Abstract:
This study explores the interaction between linear heritage and cities by examining the adaptability of the Beijing–Hangzhou Grand Canal. We extracted and visualised the point of interest data of 22 cities along the canal using Python, ArcGIS 10.7, and R language and evaluated adaptability in terms of three kinds of spatial relationships: agglomeration, dependence, and diversity. Our findings suggest that, first, the differences in the distances between the canal and the city centres lay the foundation for differentiating the canal’s role in each city. Second, with city expansions and social changes, the canal’s decline has shifted the city’s centre to varying degrees, demonstrating a different degree of historical continuity. Our adaptability study provides a significant reference for the relationship between the city and the water system, the conservation and development of the canal’s cultural heritage, and research methods for studying linear cultural heritage.

Title: Transgression in the energy infrastructure landscapes of cities
Abstract:
Transgression is not always illegitimate, but rather an alternative means for citizens to challenge statist notions of orderly cities. This paper examines why transgression persists in energy infrastructure landscapes, based on a case study of illegal connections to the grid in Kampala. Transgression in Kampala is bolstered by actors known as the ‘Kamyufu’, who circumvent electricity regulations to facilitate transactions that remove obstacles to inclusive electricity access. Illegal tapping of electricity transcends individual energy needs. It is often triggered by intergroup ties amongst consumers, Kamyufu, local security officials and former utility workers seeking to confront state policies that bring about orderliness but devoid of opportunities for inclusive energy access. Responses by power distributors do not often face up to the motivations underlying transgression, since it requires more than introduction of technologies for monitoring power theft. The paper concludes that orderliness and inclusivity need to be pursued simultaneously in energy infrastructures.

Title: Broadening the landscape of post-network cities: a call to research the off-grid infrastructure transitions of the non-poor
Abstract:
Within urban studies, the emerging post-network approach explores infrastructure transitions towards hybrid mixing of grid and off-grid technologies, resources, services, and actors. However, scholarship addressing off-grid transitions in the global south focuses almost exclusively on the poor as non-networked infrastructure consumers. This paper adopts a landscape perspective to consider broader processes of technological, institutional and behavioural change. Using a case study of Day Zero in Cape Town (South Africa), the paper draws on existing studies to demonstrate how the off-grid infrastructure transitions of non-poor households and businesses have potentially catastrophic (but largely ignored) consequences for cities in terms of environmental sustainability, urban governance and citizenship, network quality, and municipal finance. The paper concludes that broadening the landscape of infrastructure analysis, to consider the off-grid infrastructure transitions of the non-poor in the global south, is crucial to address contemporary global challenges.

Title: Accessibility as a ‘doing’: the everyday production of Santiago de Chile's public transport system as an accessible infrastructure
Abstract:
This paper seeks to expand mainstream descriptions of accessibility as a characteristic of materialities and infrastructures, inscribed into them at the design stage. Instead, it explores accessibility as a practice. That is, as the outcome of ongoing everyday interactions taking place between disabled and non-disabled users encountering materialities and accessibility-oriented protocols. Accessibility is framed as a relational achievement in which the practical action of those who routinely navigate public transport infrastructures locally enact heterogeneous landscapes of accessibility. The paper draws on qualitative data of disabled people using the public transport system of Santiago de Chile. Through an ethnomethodological analysis of video recordings and ethnographic work, the interaction between disabled and non-disabled passengers and infrastructures is put in context, revealing the embodied skills and interactional work that people do in order to enact accessible situations for themselves and for others.

Title: The spatialities of extended infrastructure landscapes: the case of Malaysia’s Melaka Gateway project
Abstract:
This paper contributes to emerging research that seeks to understand how China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is transforming the processes of urbanisation through more nuanced and situated analyses of its spatial, political-economic and discursive dimensions. In doing so, the paper focuses on the proposed Melaka Gateway project in Southwestern Malaysia, which is a privately financed initiative, slated to be the largest artificial island project in Southeast Asia, including a deep sea port, cruise ship terminal and eco-resorts off the UNESCO World Heritage city of Melaka. In line with the focus for this special issue, this paper examines the political, ecological, and socio-cultural transformations that such speculative infrastructure projects generate, even as they remain incomplete. Conceptually, the paper argues that a landscape political ecology approach can help to understand the conjoined political, ecological and discursive dimensions bound up with transnational infrastructure projects at multiple scales.

Title: Ways of seeing: landscape-infrastructure as critical design framework to analyse the production of Paris’s Boulevard Périphérique
Abstract:
When studying change in urban infrastructure landscapes, technical, political, and aesthetical choices are often considered in isolation. Yet, large-scale infrastructures such as urban motorways are the crystallisation of design entanglements. The decisions taken by an engineer—to build an elevated highway instead of a tunnel, to erect soundproof walls, to destroy a church instead of a housing block—are the expression of technical knowledge, cultural prejudices, socio-political frameworks, and value-based opinions reframed as expertise. This paper will be focussing on the ‘social imagination’ of the designers, by calling for a recontextualisation of design choices within their professional and cultural discourses, practices and imaginaries in order to question these infrastructural artefacts as socially produced. This paper will illustrate the relevance of applying a critical design framework to study infrastructure landscape change by focussing on the Boulevard Périphérique of Paris, and specifically on the emergence of noise from road traffic as nuisance.

Title: Reshaping energy landscape: a regional approach to explore electricity infrastructure networks*
Abstract:
Reconfiguring energy infrastructure networks to accommodate the expansion of renewable energy can have specific regional manifestations with regional advocacy being used to promote innovations and solutions on the ground. The paper introduces the analytical concept of territorial responsiveness to unpack these regional manifestations. The paper tests a number of constituent properties of territorial responsiveness in two Italian regions, Apulia and Sardinia. These regions show that while the regional level has had a modest influence in the regulation of network infrastructure, regional actors played a role in rendering their territory, directly or indirectly, available for infrastructural investment and mediated potential constraints, both material/infrastructural and constitutional. The paper argues that the concept of territorial responsiveness can add to energy landscape research as it contributes towards understanding the territorial restructuring of agency, unpacking the relations and participation in infrastructure renewals that are emerging around infrastructure change, often with varying spatial reach.

Title: The anatomy of change in urban infrastructure landscapes: cooking landscapes in Maputo, Mozambique
Abstract:
Rapid urbanisation and global environmental transformations require rethinking the material and social configurations of cities. The concept of ‘transitions’ has gained traction to guide such processes of infrastructure change towards net-zero, resilient societies both in academic and policy conversations. In this paper, we examine what notions of change are deployed in these debates. Specifically, we argue that transition theory conceptualises change as triggered by intentional actions and innovations by emphasising the functional drivers leading change. While deliberate actions cause changes, not all change follows strategic intent. Instead, transitions also depend on contingent relations between social actors and material objects, which cannot always be planned or anticipated. The concept of ‘urban infrastructure landscape’ helps reveal the non-strategic aspects of transitions. The example of improved cookstoves in Maputo, Mozambique, demonstrates the change envisaged in current energy policy and the changes on the ground.

Title: Embracing change in infrastructure landscapes
Abstract:
Infrastructure constitutes a key perspective for the analysis of social change. At the same time, infrastructures exemplify the tension between dynamism and permanence. While they facilitate the constant movement of resource and capital flows, they are also characterised by a visible obduracy that makes them impervious to change.This special issue examines how ideas of change and permanence have been explored in infrastructure studies. It focuses, especially, on the alternatives generated from a landscape perspective. Infrastructure landscape perspectives foreground the complex socio-technical and socio-ecological relations that situate infrastructures in specific conditions and locales. Infrastructure landscape perspectives enable analysis beyond utilitarian perspectives on infrastructure, revealing the range of emotional and cultural attachments that shape them.

Title: Identification and assessment of green infrastructure in the Community of Madrid
Abstract:
The recently approved Spanish Green Infrastructure (GI) Strategy obliges each autonomous community to identify and evaluate its own GI. This paper identifies and assesses the GI in the Community of Madrid at regional scale. This entailed, firstly, the identification of GI Principal Areas (GIPAS). This was followed by a spatial assessment of GI on the basis of three indicators: the Contribution to Ecosystem Services, the Combined Biodiversity Index and the Accessibility Index. After that, the correlations between GI assessment values and socioeconomic indicators were explored. The highest GI assessment values were located around the Sistema Central mountain range, and the lowest were in the Metropolitan Area and Henares Corridor. Finally, significant negative correlations were observed between the GI assessment values, population density and gross per capita income. The results of this study could provide useful support for the planning and decision-making required for the spatial definition of GI in the autonomous Community of Madrid.

Title: Of other waterfront spaces: mixed methods to discern heterotopias
Abstract:
In recent years waterfronts have progressively become the focus of local administrations, consultancy agencies, and private developers concerned with public health, city branding, and real estate development. Subsequently, they turned into central stages in which cities and societies can be represented, contested, and inverted. However, many questions remain unanswered concerning their capability to function as counter-spaces in the fast-changing dynamics of citizens’ encounters and recreation in global cities. This paper employs mixed methods to examine the context-dependent association between space and behaviours. The comparative analysis of four waterfront parks in Venice, Shenzhen, Hong Kong, and New York sheds light on heterotopic sites’ production and use. Two models emerged: transient spaces of compensation and time-accumulating spaces of illusion. Beyond the novel research design, the significance of this study lies in validating Foucauldian-Lefebvrian heterotopology as an authoritative analytical paradigm for a critical interpretation of the urban.

Title: Historical vegetation for microclimate amelioration: a case study for The Netherlands
Abstract:
Current solutions for climate amelioration require excessive amounts of energy, such as air conditioners and patio heaters. Yet, historical energy-passive climate-responsive design solutions exist that have a potential for outdoor microclimate control. Regarding these solutions, there was no overview of historical vegetation for microclimate amelioration in oceanic climate zones. We therefore explored historical vegetation types for microclimate amelioration in the Netherlands, for the example of oceanic climate zones. We identified six vegetation types: espaliered trees, tree lanes, berceaux, shelterbelts, green walls and umbrella trees. For each type we described their historical microclimatic function(s) and discussed their quantitative microclimatic effects based on available literature. Whilst tree lanes and green walls are currently applied to ameliorate urban microclimate, this seemed not to be the case for umbrella trees, espaliered trees, shelterbelts and berceaux. We therefore recommend urban designers to also consider these other historical vegetation types for passive outdoor microclimate amelioration.

Title: Developing a more accurate method for individual plant segmentation of urban tree and shrub communities using LiDAR technology
Abstract:
Application of LiDAR technology has greatly enhanced tree segmentation and phenotypic analysis. There are few studies in urban green spaces using tree segmentation methods. Our aim is to improve the single-plant segmentation accuracy in tree and shrub communities through segmenting algorithm optimisation based on TLS LiDAR data of the urban green space. We developed a multi-round comparative shortest-path algorithm (M-CSP) to achieve the objectives: a) tree and shrub plant layer pre-division (TSPD); b) shrub type classifications (STC) into spherical, cylindrical, and rectangular shapes. The overall detection kappa value using M-CSP is 0.933, which is 18% higher than the CSP value of 0.790. M-CSP-based overall segmentation accuracy value (F-score) is 0.886, which is 13% higher than the CSP value of 0.783. The shrub F-score using M-CSP is 0.817, which is 26% higher than the CSP (0.646). M-CSP should provide a more accurate, faster, and less costly tool to study plant communities in urban green spaces.

Title: Regional allocation of industrial land in industrializing China: does spatial mismatch exist?
Abstract:
Understanding how industrial land is spatially allocated across regions is crucial for formulating more optimised land policies and regional development strategies, especially in industrialising countries. By exploiting a unique county-level cadastral dataset covering the whole China from 2009 to 2018, this paper analyzes the spatiotemporal allocation of industrial land and the potential spatial mismatch in China. We find that industrial land constituted the largest single type of urban land use in China (27%) and its absolute area and allocative share expanded during the period 2009–2018. Both the incremental and the stock of the industrial land were mainly concentrated in the coastal metropolitan regions but with a greater tendency to allocate more industrial land in inland regions. Further, we provide robust evidence of the existence of a spatial mismatch of industrial land allocation across Chinese counties, although the efficiency of regional allocations did not deteriorate over time.

Title: From remediation to landscape design: design tactics and landscape typologies derived from post-industrial experiences
Abstract:
For the last few decades there has been a growing interest in transforming post-industrial sites into public spaces with new programmatic contents. However, contamination in such sites poses challenges to the transformation process. In such cases remediation has become not just a technical issue requiring solutions through remedial actions but a design tactic that offers different solutions for the development of ecologically and functionally well-grounded spatial design schemas.The main aim of this research is to investigate the relationship between design and remediation and offer a research matrix and typological classification that show how remediation methods can be interpreted as a landscape design tactic through an examination of ten high profile landscape design cases. As a result of detailed investigation on the cases, eight different landscape typologies were offered, namely: multi-layered landscapes, topo-landscapes, adaptive landscapes, structured landscapes, emergent landscapes, superficies landscapes and traced landscapes.

Title: Land surveying in early medieval Norway: a St. Olav pilgrimage path as a means of creating an integrated Christian society in a Viking landscape?
Abstract:
The pilgrimage routes to St. Olav’s crypt offered new cultural landscape experiences. Primary attention to Christian dogma and art as discursive text leaves a ritual transformation from a Viking landscape unexplored. Pilgrim mental maps and belief may have been structured by land surveyed patterns of churches on the route. This article will map points of one route, Østerdalsleden. Among the six churches on today’s recreational route, four are replaced with the earliest in the community. A complex pattern of alignments integrating all six church locations are compared to patterns created by substituting random points within community test areas. The existing pattern does not randomly reproduce in 10 000 sets of eleven total route points, leaving the high probability that these churches were organised as a cultural concept of pilgrimage landscape.

Title: The trash has gone – the trash mountain remains: a new look at the international design competition for the rehabilitation of the Hiriya landfill in Israel
Abstract:
Hiriya landfill, in central Israel, served Tel Aviv for 50 years and became a byword for neglect and ugliness until it was recently transformed from an environmental hazard, into a beautiful park. This article explores the idea and experience of waste, as concept and matter, and its representations in the 2004 international design competition for Hiriya’s rehabilitation. Addressing the global issue of rehabilitating wasted sites, the competition encouraged landscape architects to address a polluted past and outline new cultural and ethical meanings in the reclaimed public space. Drawing from unexplored textual and visual sources, and combining landscape architecture with cultural studies on waste, we reveal that few of the 14 proposals touched upon the complexity of waste, with its cultural, ethical and social attributes. The winning entry by Peter Latz turned the mound into a striking monument to trash, but minimised the visitors’ idea and experience of the waste itself.

Title: Active urbanism and choice architecture: encouraging the use of challenging city routes for health and fitness
Abstract:
Inactivity is one of the major health risks in technologically developed countries. This paper explores the potential of a series of urban landscape interventions to engage people in physical activity. Online surveys were conducted with 595 participants living in the UK by inviting them to choose between conventional pavement or challenging routes (steppingstones, balancing beams, and high steps) using photorealistic images. Across four experiments, we discovered that 80% of walkers claim they would pick a challenging route in at least one of the scenarios, depending on perceived level of difficulty and design characteristics. Where a challenging option was shorter than a conventional route, this increased the likelihood of being chosen by 10%, and the presence of handrails by 12%. This suggests that people can get nudged into physical activities through minor changes to the urban landscape. We discuss implications for policy makers and urban designers.

Title: A Park for the People: examining the creation and refurbishment of a public park
Abstract:
This paper takes an historical perspective to examine the social and community motivations for public parks and their funding. Public parks can be some of the most valuable green infrastructure assets; understanding why they were created and how they have developed can usefully inform current international practice. Analysis is of one the UK’s first public parks, Peel Park, Salford, Greater Manchester and draws on documentary material from the Park’s creation in the 1840s and its refurbishment in the 2010s. Common and long-lived expectations for community cohesion are found, but for contemporary management we highlight the importance of park quality and understanding public parks as part of wider equality issues. We also argue that entrepreneurial municipalism and diversified funding arrangements introduce diverse politics and interests to park provision. A lack of government funding, and thus a reliance on charitable and philanthropic sources, also potentially categorise public park provision as non-essential.

Title: Between professional objectivity and Simmel’s moods: a pragmatist-aesthetic proposal for landscape character
Abstract:
This paper provides, in the first part, a critical examination of the standard framing of the subjectivism vs objectivism dualism in the concept and practice of ‘landscape character’ (LC) and, in the second part, some philosophical suggestions for its improvement. After a brief overview of the emergence of the LC notion, partly in response to the modernist-aestheticist view of landscape, and of the mentioned dualism that this notion harbours, I will discuss some main problems associated with the currently dominant ‘objectivist strain’ in the framing of the dualism. Such problems have a common root, namely a narrow unexamined view of experience and the aesthetic dimension. In the constructive part, I will propose to reframe the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity on a pragmatist-aesthetic basis, drawing on Simmel’s notion of landscape ‘mood’. Finally, I will outline some implications and advantages of the suggested alternative over both the objectivist strain in the current discourse and the modernist-aestheticist paradigm.

Title: Rethinking the ‘green city’ – contemporary research, teaching, and practice in urban greening
Abstract:
To fully appreciate the breadth of what ‘landscape’ means in different contexts requires a continual examination of how alternative approaches to landscape teaching, research and policy are integrated. To better understand such diversity asks us – as landscape professionals – to challenge our disciplinary, geographical, and political views and engage with new ideas, theories, and techniques. This includes reflections on biodiversity, climate change, heritage, and design in considerations of how we teach future landscape professionals to think about these issues in a holistic way. This special issue of Landscape Research addresses these thematic areas via a series of papers developed following the Newton Fund supported ‘Rethinking the Green City’ workshop held in Brasilia in 2019. Each paper questions about how we locate ‘green’ ideas in praxis to promote more sustainable forms of planning and asks us to think about the choices we make when discussing socio-cultural, economic, and environmental aspects of landscape.

Title: Like night and day: channelling desires through landscapes and nightscapes
Abstract:
This article examines differences between landscapes and nightscapes, i.e. how what we encounter in daylight conditions differs considerably from what we encounter in the dark. I explore what landscape is and how it works, followed by examining how it and how it works is negated by darkness, only to be re-established through illumination. The purpose of this article is to illustrate how nightscapes are, in fact, superior to landscapes in terms of channelling people’s desires. While darkness prevents the abstract machine of landscape from functioning, illumination returns it to action, providing those with the necessary capital the opportunity to influence people and shape their identities. Nightscapes do, however, provide opportunities to anyone who wishes to express oneself by utilising the illumination provided by others for their own purposes and, at times, against the others.

Title: How does the World Heritage Sustainable Tourism Programme guide the evolution of rural landscapes?
Abstract:
Although the World Heritage Sustainable Tourism Programme has great potential for addressing the Sustainable Development Goals, it faces a continual lack of on-the-ground community-level tools. This paper explores the potential for community-level intervention to guide the evolution of rural landscapes under the World Heritage Sustainable Tourism Programme. This community-level intervention comprises three phases (knowledge coproduction, perspective planning and community action) and nine stages (village representative assembly, internalising knowledge workshop, field trip and casual interviews, knowledge demonstration, joint fieldwork, perspective discussions, tangible landscape element design, intangible landscape element coordination, and effectiveness evaluation). Our case study, Dragon Tail Village, reveals that community-level interveners should facilitate community development by recognising the important role of rural communities—co-owners of heritage sites—and rural landscapes—sets of attributes with heritage value. Our findings therefore improve the understanding of the World Heritage Sustainable Tourism Programme’s driving rationale for community development.

Title: Rethinking ‘future nature’ through a transatlantic research collaboration: climate-adapted urban green infrastructure for human wellbeing and biodiversity
Abstract:
With climate change arguably the greatest threat facing our planet, we are witnessing unprecedented losses of biodiversity and growing human health challenges. The need to prioritise urban green infrastructure (UGI) has never been so great. As two researchers from the UK and Brazil, we draw on recent research evidence and contrasting examples from the UK, Brazil and Italy, demonstrating how enlightened approaches to UGI planning, design and delivery can mitigate and adapt to climate change, support human health and wellbeing and enhance biodiversity. We highlight the need to make decisions across scales and the value of partnership working across sectors. We emphasise the need to identify synergies and trade-offs between climate-resilience, biodiversity and human wellbeing objectives. Synergies generate positive opportunities to provide multiple benefits, whereas trade-offs require prioritisation. These case studies provide transferable precedent learning for planners, designers and managers of multifunctional ‘future nature’ in urban areas throughout the world.

Title: Making urban design teaching more permeable to regional green infrastructure: an urban design studio experiment
Abstract:
This paper discusses aspects of urban design teaching that restrict its permeability to green infrastructure concepts and regional planning instruments. Through an experiment with the urban design studio ‘Designing the Trama Verde Azul (TVA)’, it presents the experience of studio teaching related to the regional planning of the Belo Horizonte Metropolitan Region in line with green infrastructure concepts. This paper highlights that the viability of experiments of this kind is determined by (i) the proximity between community and environmental demands, (ii) planning and project scale articulation, (iii) place specificity, (iv) interdisciplinary dialogue, (iv) social inclusion, and (v) urban forms determined by connectivity, access to nature, and multi-functionality.

Title: Drawing on the personal-existential landscape identity for local planning policy: reflections from three rural areas in Estonia
Abstract:
This article examines from a micro-geography perspective the personal-existential landscape identity of stakeholders in relation to territorial distinctiveness. The actions and decisions of individual actors shape lived landscapes into ontologically distinctive places. These actors base these actions and decisions on their landscape values and personal-existential landscape identities of the people. Here, how locals in three rural regions in Estonia perceive their individual place attachment, and how these perceptions shaped the landscapes, is illustrated in detail. We pay attention to how their self-identity and self-realisation are connected to the history-oriented place-rootedness of these lived territories. These meanings have materialised through the restoration of village borders, self-realisation in agriculture and civil governance, or enabling a particular place-bound lifestyle. The article suggests planners consider the personal-existential landscape identities of stakeholders as a significant factor in the local planning policy making process.

Title: Landscape and tourism in Rio de Janeiro’s favelas
Abstract:
Rio de Janeiro relies on tourism as one of its main economic activities, based on the attractions of its natural and human-made settings. The social inequality found in the city's favelas affects this scenario. The sports mega-events Rio has recently hosted, such as the 2014 World Football Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, brought new possibilities for tourism in the favelas. Tourists are attracted by the natural surroundings, with panoramic views and tracks into the urban forests. This work aims to explore some of these favelas and their natural surroundings. Communities such as Cantagalo-Pavão-Pavãozinho, Babilônia-Chapéu Mangueira and Vidigal have forest areas that were recovered and opened to the public as parks, and that have received the contribution of community-based organisations. These examples show how activities, such as tourism, relate to the environment.

Title: A rhizomatic research story about the changing landscapes of rooftop urbanism in Peckham, London
Abstract:
In this article, I introduce rooftop urbanism as a landscape between earth and sky. The concept of landscape provides a framework within which rooftop urbanism can be studied as a multi-sensuous, bodily lived relation with rooftop sites at various heights in the urban fabric. Through encounters with the materialities of the roof and the rooftoppers of the former Pioneer Health Centre in Peckham, London, I craft a rhizomatic research story. I discuss the moving landscape experienced by inhabiting a rooftop above ground level and under the sky, and how the mobile landscape can be an affective means of sense-making, connecting rooftoppers beyond the rooftop. Given that changing landscapes cannot be reconstructed, I evoke impressions using images and words, which can then be read as expressions for further thought.

Title: A narrative approach to the formation of place attachments in landscapes of expanding renewable energy technology
Abstract:
Renewable energy technologies are expanding in rural landscapes, where they are changing the character and meaning of place. This study explores the experience of living and recreating in proximity to landscapes undergoing this development, namely in a Swedish municipality where a major wind park is located. Using place attachment, it addresses how people construct meaning around places of everyday life through stories of their experience of place. Results show that individuals form coherent narratives of the past, present and future of places undergoing transformation. Stories of experiences of renewable energy technology and their impact on landscape relate to persisting feelings of rootedness, changing land-use activities and hope for a sustainable future. Place attachments are a form of social action as their formulation enables people to deal with change and embrace discourses of sustainability. Results highlight the discourses and practices that rural dwellers adopt in the wake of renewable energy transitions.

Title: A methodology to identify the heritage attributes and values of a modernist landscape: Roberto Burle Marx’s Copacabana beach promenade in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)
Abstract:
As new heritage categories have emerged, the process of identifying heritage value has become more complex, necessitating new tools to enable professionals to identify all attributes and values that determine the uniqueness of an asset before embarking upon its management and conservation. Burle Marx’s Copacabana promenade in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is representative of a modernist landscape design, and therefore, a cultural heritage asset. This article proposes a mixed methodology for identifying the heritage attributes and values of this modernist landscape through document analysis, site observations and surveys. This information is essential for the long-term conservation of the Copacabana promenade. Historical, aesthetic, technological and environmental values are represented in attributes that include the design itself, the calceteira technique and the selected tree species. The values and attributes of these assets inform the conservation strategies that are designed to end their abandonment and deterioration.

Title: All is land, but not all is landscape: social discourses around the landscape
Abstract:
Political and academic discourses generally argue that it is possible for all land to be viewed as landscape. Research into social discourse about the landscape, however, reveals that only certain parts of the land possess the characteristics required for its inhabitants to consider it as landscape, as this study shows by analysing several interviews and focus group discussions conducted in two provinces in the south of Spain (Granada and Almería) to understand how people perceive and experience landscapes. This perspective can be very detrimental regarding conservation actions: if the landscape value is not recognised, there is no reason to conserve it. The repercussions for landscape management and protection policies in this regard can be far-reaching. It is not sufficient to merely assert that all land is landscape; rather, society must recognise it as such if the landscape is to be both valued and cared for.

Title: Memorial landscapes, recognition, and marginalisation: a critical assessment of Adelaide's ‘cultural heart’
Abstract:
Memorial landscapes are powerfully instructive. Cast in bronze or carved in stone, memorials speak to us of who and what we should admire and those characteristics we should aspire to emulate. As such, memorial landscapes are texts. However, memorial landscapes are equally about remembering and forgetting. Drawing upon a critical examination of the memorial landscape of Adelaide’s cultural precinct this paper examines ongoing silences regarding Indigenous pre-history, the processes and impacts of British colonisation, and how these are remembered and/or silenced within this place. Framed by post-colonial literature, this paper reveals that notwithstanding movements towards reconciliation in Australia, Adelaide’s cultural precinct firmly remains a settler landscape. Those few memorials raised to or acknowledging Indigenous people are pushed to the margins, poorly maintained, or framed through service to the Empire.

Title: Bottom-up memorial landscapes between social protest and top-down tourist destination: the case of Chicano Park in San Diego (California) – an analysis based on Ralf Dahrendorf’s conflict theory
Abstract:
In an empirical study based on a landscape biographical approach, the processes of constructing memorial landscapes are traced and analysed for tourism-related communications of top-down marketing as well as framed in terms of conflict theory with regard to their productivity and their generating of life chances.

Title: Following the dogs of Prishtina: landscape as living memorial
Abstract:
This paper offers autoethnographic storytelling and analysis, considering what multispecies framing can offer post-war memorialisation discourse and practice. During 2019, I undertook initial scoping and consultation around the potential of a new museum or memorial site for post-war Kosova. The aim for this new site is to encourage reflection, peace building, and action around human rights. In Kosova there are multiple and conflicting memorialisation practices enacted by war veterans, politicians, mourning widows and mothers, activists, and survivors. These all take different forms from statues to protests, oral histories and curatorial interventions. As in all wars, the physical landscape of Kosova is the site of crime and resistance, mythologising and denial. Amidst the human memorial activity live the stray dogs of Prishtina. The dogs activated my attentiveness to the potential of a living landscape as a site of multispecies enquiry for rethinking processes of memorialisation and heritage-making.

Title: Walking the Names: sensing presences and absences in a contested memory landscape
Abstract:
Bath (UK) is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site. A National Lottery funded Landscape Partnership, Bathscape, seeks to articulate a vision for the city as a Landscape City. Walking the Names (2019–21) was a cycle of slow participatory walks reading the names of those who had died of poverty in the Bath Union Workhouse. The site-specific work took place in the burial ground of the nineteenth-century institution where the dead were buried in unmarked graves. The paper reviews the project in the context of the emergence of uneasy memories and silenced voices in the contested spaces of Bath’s memory landscape. A walking arts process is presented as slow activism, offering a participatory, corporeal, sensory engagement with landscape, power and memory. Drawing on the vision of the Landscape City, reflecting on the city as ‘wounded’, the essay explores a co-creative process of embodied critical re-memorialisation generating contemporary resonances.

Title: Gender debates on the stage of the urban memorial: glitter, graffiti, and bronze
Abstract:
Memorial landscapes are in constant transformation and their values reshape as history is being written. What effect does public opinion have on changes to these spaces? Recently, at an iconic monument in Mexico City a heated debate surrounding gender and the reshaping of the memorial landscape has engaged officials, conservators, protestors, and the public. The preservation of the Column of Independence has been contested from a feminist angle. Re-examining collective memory and heritage preservation in this dynamic space is difficult using traditional theories and practices. This paper reveals the lack of theories and practices available to heritage practitioners to cement new expressions of communicative memory into the cultural memory enshrined in the memorial landscape. The erasure of the contributions of women in the memorial landscape is highlighted. This paper examines the possibilities for layers to be added and preserved in the memorial landscape as the evidence of shifts in collective memory.

Title: Memorial landscapes and contestation: destabilising artefacts of stability
Abstract:
Landscapes of memorialisation are, simultaneously, sites of remembering and forgetting. As sites of remembering, memorial landscapes are instructive. Their artefacts of commemoration do not simply recall events and/or people, they extol specific values and lessons that members of their given society are silently urged to aspire to and emulate. However, such landscapes are strategically curated presenting a historical narrative that reflects and supports the dominant socio-political paradigm. Those voices that do not reflect this paradigm are silenced, symbolically excluded and hence forgotten. However, the processes of silencing and forgetting are never absolute. Alternative voices contest dominant memorialisation practices, jostling to be heard in wider societal discourse. The papers in this special issue reflect upon these struggles. Drawing on case studies from across the globe the authors of each paper trace the complexity of and contestation over landscapes of memorialisation. In doing so, this special issue contributes to the multidisciplinary understandings of remembering and forgetting in and through the landscape.

Title: Landscape dynamics of the aeolian savanna: Santos Luzardo National Park 1988–2018
Abstract:
This research defines the savanna aeolian landscape dynamics of the ‘Santos Luzardo’ National Park in the Llanos of Venezuela between 1988 and 2018, using images from the LANDSAT series to elaborate and compare ecosystems maps. The ecosystem dynamics show that the landscape changes naturally since the transitions occurred towards other types of natural savanna due to soil water seasonality. The savannas are the dominant matrix of the landscape, occupying between 69.1 and 76.7%. The dynamics of transformation of the aeolian savanna landscape are mainly associated with soil water content. The application of temporal studies contributes to understanding the aeolian savanna landscape transformation processes and evaluating their conservation status.

Title: Local residents’ lived experiences of energy sprawl in West Virginia. A visual exploration of landscape change
Abstract:
West Virginia, sitting fully in the eastern US region of Appalachia, has a long history of resource extraction, including salt, timber, coal and oil. In the late 2000s, gas became another popular resource, obtained through hydraulic fracturing. The once-hilly landscape has been flattened, valleys have been filled, and caves have been dug all because of extraction. In this photo essay we document the latest manifestation of landscape change that local communities have experienced: pipeline development. Pipelines have been put in place across the state, given ever-improving hydraulic fracturing technology and subsequent national and international consumption that requires transportation. This photo essay shows the landscape changes that West Virginia has undergone through the eyes and words of residents. We present data gathered through 33 interviews and visual methods that illustrate the destruction of scenery and memories through erosion, as well as everyday challenges to property access during construction.

Title: Effects of urbanisation on urban residents’ perception of vegetable production in Yaoundé, Cameroon
Abstract:
In the context of rapid and unplanned urbanisation in many Sub-Saharan African cities, the social and political context of urban and peri-urban vegetable production is becoming unfriendly despite its multifunctionality in achieving human development. This paper aims at measuring the effects of urbanisation on urban residents’ perception of vegetable production in urban and peri-urban areas of Yaoundé, Cameroon. Data from a survey conducted by the World Vegetable Centre among urban residents living within and around vegetable production areas was employed for the study. The results show that urban residents agree with vegetable production in their vicinity, but depending on the extent of urbanisation, the magnitude of their positive perception varies significantly from one production area to another. More specifically, while proximity to the city centre increases the likelihood of urban residents’ ability to agree with local vegetable production, the density of the population decreases this positive perception instead.

Title: Rethinking stewardship: landscape architecture, commons enclosure and more-than-human relations
Abstract:
In landscape architecture, stewardship has become synonymous with a positive approach to managing and designing environments, which lacks historical and geographical context. While the practice has the possibility to increase human involvement in habitats and cultivate ecological relations, historically it suffers the socio-ecological separation of the human (subject) and non-human (object). Additionally, the majority of practice sits comfortably within private development, and reproduces inequalities rather than challenging them. This article traces an institutionalised European-centred notion of stewardship by focussing on three episodes from British woodlands: 8th century pre-enclosure woodlands and the original steward of pigs, 16th century park and forest enclosures and the steward of deer and 17th century national estates and the steward of oaks. In light of these findings, landscape architecture’s uncritical reliance on stewardship as an ethical stance, needs to be revised to better account for environmental and social justice within more-than-human relations.

Title: The geography of pilgrimage: Adriatic maritime pilgrimages and natural features of the landscape
Abstract:
In this article, we have analysed how natural features influenced the emergence of maritime pilgrimages in the Eastern Adriatic (three sites in Croatia and one in Montenegro). All researched locations are insular and dedicated to the Virgin Mary (Madonna). We applied a diverse methodology, including flying a drone and completing fieldwork and archival work studying old maps and documents. We believe that the geography of pilgrimages in these sites reflects the relational interaction between the religious practices of the local communities, mostly fisherman, and their lived environment. We argue that all four locations of the churches and sites of pilgrimage were, at least partially, determined by natural features of their environment, i.e. a safe harbour and a site protected from winds, located within fisherman communities living space, etc. Because of these environmental determinants, the local communities created their pilgrimage geography with ritualistic and religious pilgrimage practices and folklore.

Title: Developments in big data for park management: a review of mobile phone location data for visitor use management
Abstract:
Land managers and public agencies strive to manage parks and protected areas (PPAs) for a balance between the preservation of ecological health and the visitor experience. To fulfill this dual mandate, an understanding of recreationist visitation patterns in PPAs is vital. Mobile phones, passively capturing location data while in use throughout our daily lives, represent a significant opportunity for PPA managers and researchers. This study conducts a scoping literature review to understand how mobile phone location data has been used in PPA research to measure visitation, spatial patterns of use, and visitor experiences in PPAs. The body of research included in this review provides methodological guidance and highlights room for growth in our understanding of the use, limitations, and analysis of mobile phone location data. This scoping literature review presents existing applications of mobile phone location data in PPA research, limitations identified, and opportunities for future research.

Title: The evolution and impacts of ‘complexity notions’ in landscape architecture
Abstract:
Complexity notions, i.e. ideas or methods that incorporate concepts and rationales from complexity science as analogies or models, frequently appear in landscape architectural discourses. However, debates have arisen about the legitimacy and relevance of complexity notions in landscape architecture. Are complexity notions an ephemeral fashion or derived from the inherent needs of landscape architecture research and practice? What role do complexity notions play in the development of landscape architecture? To answer these questions, we conducted a three-phase review of the complexity notions in landscape architectural theories and practices since early 20th century. We concluded that complexity notions in landscape architecture are a long-standing and increasingly significant subject rather than a passing fad. Complexity notions serve as an exploratory system rather than tyrannical dogma. Addressing the increasing complexity of landscapes and inspired by up-to-date complexity theories, incorporating adaptive learning processes is becoming a new paradigm in landscape research and practice.

Title: Reproducing biocultural heritage landscapes through alternative and retro-innovative food production
Abstract:
Landscapes rich in biocultural heritage are declining en masse across Europe. This is due to the effects of countryside depopulation and to large-scale, industrial agriculture. Landscape heritage and its associated biodiversity largely depend on pre-industrial agrarian management. Because authoritative conservation cares only for minor, more spectacular, landscape segments, other forms of everyday management of the more mundane biocultural heritage are needed. Herein, innovative, alternative food producers (i.e. environmentally and animal-friendly farmers) are investigated as potential stewards of biocultural heritage. The results show that alternative food producers contribute to new ways of reproducing the biocultural heritage, albeit with greater emphasis on its ‘green’ side (e.g. biodiversity) than that of cultural heritage. They also face numerous challenges that threaten their businesses.

Title: Relational heritage: ‘relational character’ in national cultural heritage characterisation tools
Abstract:
The need to better care for the urban landscape as a cultural, material and regenerative resource is urgent and inevitable. From a planning and design perspective, national heritage characterisation tools currently constitute an explicit point of departure for attributing value to existing urban landscapes, which informs decisions about physical transformations. This qualitative and integrative review focuses on international recommendations and on the ability of national characterisation tools to address ‘relational character’, meaning the interconnectedness of architecture with its situated environment, people and place, atmosphere and the sensory. Although international heritage institutions pledge to include relational character, in our search of state-of-the-art and exploratory approaches to relational character both nationally and regionally, we find that few such tools incorporate relational character, and those that do provide different emphases. We conclude that heritage characterisation tools are not yet sufficiently developed to address existing urban landscapes from a relational perspective.

Title: Typologising site-specific features in young industrial landscapes
Abstract:
Young industrial landscapes (YILs), dating roughly from the 1930s to 1970s, are by virtue of their location, size, and partly underused capacity potential new locations for urban redevelopment driven by municipalities and private investors. However, such redevelopment often neglects existing physical characteristics including heritage and ecological potentials. This paper raises awareness and knowledge of these potentials by examining YILs’ spatial characteristics as part of the process of elaborating their future roles as sites for urban transformation. We develop a typo-morphological approach to analyse the physical structure of YILs in the Copenhagen capital area, revealing both general and site-specific qualities relevant for future transformations. We find that YILs’ locations and edge zones hold potential for mediating access between cities and green wedges. Site-specific scenic locations, significant earthworks, plantings, and buildings have potential for reuse and contribute spatial ambience. The paper finally discusses how typo-morphology might be understood from a YIL perspective.

Title: Emulating and transcending literati gardens: landscape design of the Plum Villa, the garden of a literatus-merchant
Abstract:
The study explores the garden landscape design of Plum Villa (梅花墅), which exemplifies the unique garden style of Shishang (士商: a literatus-merchant) in the late Ming dynasty in Suzhou, China. As Confucian social hierarchy began to disintegrate in the late Ming period, educated and affluent Shishang joined the leading urban elite literati group centred in Suzhou, becoming key protagonists of the new garden culture. While Plum Villa’s landscape design reflects the Ming literati’s cultural decorum and principles, it exhibits Shishang’s hybrid social status through its grand scale and exuberant spatial arrangement, as well as its use of garden space for theatrical entertainment that enabled public engagement. The Plum Villa’s landscape design offers a window into the transformation of Chinese gardens from the Confucian elite’s private exclusivity to public openness, marking an entry of modernity in Chinese garden history.

Title: Co-design workshops for cultural landscape planning
Abstract:
In the last twenty years, citizen participation has become a formal requirement in landscape and heritage planning all over Europe. The European Landscape Convention (2000), in particular, encourages public participation in defining landscape heritage values and identifying strategies for its protection, management and planning. However, despite the development of various participatory methods, citizen participation in landscape planning remains rarely applied in practice. With an empirical case study, the research presented in this article tries to bridge the gap between theory and practice, evaluating a methodology in which citizens, stakeholders, planners, and heritage experts are invited to co-design a spatial strategy for local cultural landscape valorisation.

Title: Sacral waters and the jewel mountain: reclaiming kunds in Ayodhya, India
Abstract:
Water structures are sites of collective memory and have a vital role in providing ecosystem services in India. An alternative model of water sensitive urban design based upon the conceptual framework of regenerative urbanism is proposed in Ayodhya, a pilgrim town in Northern India. Reclamation of water bodies is salient to planning the soft infrastructure of blue-greenways for regenerating degraded sites and prevents loss of collective memories and place rituals, both significant forms of intangible heritage. With a focus on the urban periphery of Ayodhya, the article discusses water structures as sites of mythic memory, their current condition and context, and their potential as nodes in community spaces and green corridors of pilgrim movement.

Title: Twenty years of research on shrinking cities: a focus on keywords and authors
Abstract:
Most scholarly attention to vanishing cities is fairly recent so, to guide future research, a comprehensive evaluation of prior findings is required. This study is a network analysis of 333 publications authored in English, published over the last two decades. The findings are as follows: (1) shrinking city research has increased significantly since 2016; (2) the key themes are planning, decline, depopulation, policy, regeneration, vacant land, green infrastructure, and case studies such as Detroit; and (3) major academic groups have not yet collaborated effectively on the subject.

Title: Heritage itineraries and the ‘rest state’ at Europe’s Cold War-era Ground-launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) sites
Abstract:
Cold War legacies pose significant challenges for heritage management and interpretation at landscape scale. This paper explores an area where management and interpretation overlap, in terms of how postcolonial attitudes usually require something to be done with these sites. We argue that this need not be the case and that a ‘rest state’ can be an important stage in a site’s lifecycle. We focus in particular on United States Ground-launched Cruise Missile (GLCM) sites, of which six were built across Europe. All six are reminiscent of more conventional industrial sites co-located with their occupational communities yet they also exist as homes from home on gifted foreign soil typically occupying large areas. By examining these comparable sites at different stages of their heritage itineraries, we test the validity of some new interpretive and heritage management concepts including, if not leading towards, a rest state.

Title: Cross-cultural Rongoā healing: a landscape response to urban health
Abstract:
The growing interest in Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and Indigenous worldviews has refocused attention on land and resource management systems as well as local knowledge of flora and fauna. As Western medicine often ignores the spiritual and mental intricacies of health, finding a balance between Western and Non-Western knowledge is vital to creating a culturally and ecologically responsive environment. This paper addresses the growing interest in TEK as a catalyst for urban landscape regeneration by incorporating the biophysical dimensions of place and environment. It explores the proposed design of a Māori Rongoā learning garden in a public space in the city of Wellington, the capital city of New Zealand. By identifying opportunities in designing plant collections and issues for plant harvesting, this paper aids the discourse on potential cultural collisions and strategies for both reconnecting with Indigenous people but also connecting non-Indigenous people to the natural surroundings.

Title: Decentring landscape: rethinking landscape analysis with a relational ontology
Abstract:
Landscape theory has frequently been used as a base for scrutinising landscape characterisation and landscape analysis. However, this paper argues that if we aim to understand action-oriented methods for landscape analysis, then landscape needs to be decentred in favour of studies of the enactment of the landscape-project interplay. Relational ontology offers a fruitful ground for such examinations. Following a conceptual discussion, the paper draws on an in-depth interview with a senior landscape architect on his practise. The conversation captures how a complex set of theories on landscape, planning, methodology etc. is informing his methodological approach. Second, the interview shows how he centres the unfolding of relations through which the project and landscape can be understood, to identify what matters for the siting of the project. While this methodology remains constant, it requires different ways to enact landscape. This calls for further studies of the relational nature of such methodologies.

Title: Taranto: a flickering landscape of illusory progress, vanished hope, and invisible beauty
Abstract:
The article investigates the difficult and controversial landscape of Taranto, a recently industrialised city of southern Italy, which in the last 70 years has undergone dramatic changes. We analyse what the landscape is in material, cultural, and symbolic terms, what it does, and what it means in and for Taranto. In particular, by analysing bibliographic, cartographic, and audiovisual sources, we trace the evolution of contemporary Taranto, indicating the main factors which enabled its material transformation during the second half of the twentieth century. Then, we reflect on how the landscape has been shaped in different times and at different scales through dominant narratives and counter-narratives. Finally, we identify specific elements of Taranto’s landscape and their symbolic meaning. The study offers a paradigmatic case of a flickering landscape, modified by political forces and cultural constructs.

Title: Heritage contestation in matterscape, mindscape, and powerscape
Abstract:
Landscape heritage is frequently contested as perspectives on heritage and landscape may vary across stakeholders. The present article makes a novel contribution by examining pathways to landscape heritage contestation. We propose a distinction between (a) heritage as object in matterscape, being the physical landscape out-there, (b) heritage as meaning in mindscape, being the landscape as experienced by a subject, and (c) heritage as political act in powerscape, being the landscape as rules that organise behaviour. Contestation, then, might originate in matterscape, mindscape, or powerscape. We illustrate these pathways to contestation upon analyses of semi-structured interviews among stakeholders of Schokland, The Netherlands, a World Heritage site. Findings reveal contestation about matterscape pertaining to the issue whether a water system leads to wet spots on adjacent agricultural land, about mindscape pertaining to the beauty of new nature developed around Schokland, and powerscape pertaining to the rules associated with the World Heritage status.

Title: How restorative landscapes can benefit psychological and physiological responses: a pilot study of human–nature relationships in Sweden and Taiwan
Abstract:
Restorative landscapes provide people with the opportunity to experience nature. This pilot study aimed to determine whether cultural differences affect psychological and physiological responses to restorative landscapes. Two populations, one in Taiwan and one in Sweden, were experimentally compared by showing them photos of restorative landscapes from each country. The results showed that restorativeness was affected more by photos of the restorative landscape in Sweden than in Taiwan. The results showed that restorativeness in terms of psychological and physiological responses was affected. A significant variation in heart rate was observed between the populations: Taiwanese participants experienced higher heart rates when viewing unfamiliar and novel scenery when compared to Swedish participants. No significant differences between the populations were observed regarding attention capacity, working memory, and muscle tension. The psychological and physiological responses to the two countries’ distinctive restorative landscapes may have implications for designing such landscapes in urban green spaces.

Title: Towards landscape conscience: a geographical perspective
Abstract:
This article aims to show the reciprocal significance of space to human conscience and vice versa. We argue that human conscience is equally founded on external, spatial relations rather than strictly internal states or processes, and we apply the concept of ‘conscience’ to the landscape (‘landscape conscience’). Through an extensive literature review of relevant scientific fields, the article builds its argument for the spatiality of conscience beyond its previously strictly anthropocentric emphasis as a purely internal phenomenon, towards a more contingent and comprehensive approach to its study as a humans-space/landscape interrelationship. Further, we aim to elucidate the ways in which ‘landscape’ is amenable to—and consequently may profit from—the employment of the concept and insights of ‘conscience’. The interconnections and interlinkages of the three broadly defined domains/spheres of human faculties/capacities (perception, emotion, behaviour) in formulating and linking together human interrelations to the surrounding world, emerge as inherently instrumental to conscience formation.

Title: Harnessing machine learning for landscape character management in a shallow relief region of China
Abstract:
Due to China’s rapid human activity expansion, landscapes have lost their distinctive and typical characteristics. This paper addresses this issue by proposing a landscape character management framework for the Beijing shallow relief area. The framework utilises machine learning techniques to assess and enhance landscape integrity. The process involves landscape character identification through Principal Component Analysis, Gaussian Mixture Model clustering, and Canny Edge Detection. Additionally, a comprehensive landscape sensitivity evaluation considers both landscape character and visual sensitivity. The study develops five landscape management strategies based on field surveys and employs a Transformer Matrix Process and a multi-expert decision-making mechanism. Extensive validation confirms the framework’s effectiveness in improving the recognition accuracy of Landscape Character Types. The findings reveal that over 30% of the landscape characters in the study area require improvement. Importantly, the machine learning techniques employed in this study can be transferred to other regions, facilitating landscape characterisation, evaluation, and management.

Title: A shifting role for the landscape practitioner: bridging the divide between ecology, horticulture and landscape architecture
Abstract:
This article looks at the ecological turn in the landscape professions and argues that such a shift requires a new conception of the role of the landscape practitioner: Drawing on ecology and phenomenology, I am proposing that landscape practitioners adopt the posture of participants within dynamic, evolving milieus. To this end, I offer two examples: Egbert Bodmann, from the landscape park Duisburg-Nord, and Cassian Schmidt, head of the garden Hermannshof. I argue that the way of seeing and working they embody requires capacities that are currently dispersed across different disciplines and roles within the professional field, such as ecology, horticulture, and landscape architecture. Drawing on practice-led research, I specify my proposal using detailed scenes that flesh out an approach that not only bridges, but mingles these disciplines, and is thus receptive to the dynamic development of ecologies.

Title: Revolution and continuity? Reassessing nineteenth-century moorland reclamation through palaeoecological and archival research
Abstract:
The upland moorlands of Britain are environmentally and culturally important ecosystems. Yet, our understanding of historical attempts to ‘reclaim’ these landscapes is often based upon incomplete accounts of agricultural ‘improvement’. Studies of historical landscape change have frequently focused on singular ‘revolutionary’ moments due to the limitation and biases of surviving historical sources, which has created a contemporary fixation on ‘reversing’ singular interventions. By combining palaeoecological data (pollen, coprophilous fungal spores and microcharcoal) from a recent study of five upland sites with newly rediscovered archival documents, this paper details the differences between how nineteenth-century actors described ecological interventions and some of their actual characteristics and consequences. Through interdisciplinary synthesis, we reveal how perceptions of ecological change were filtered and shaped by the sensibilities and motivations of ‘improvers’. This enables us to position ‘reclamation’ within a sequence of long-term management practices that shaped these complex ecosystems.

Title: Multispecies stories of Vardø: an Arctic place in change
Abstract:
The speed of climate change calls our attention towards the life forms on this warming Earth – human and beyond. In this article, I aim to contribute to the conversation about how we co-exist by presenting multispecies ‘compost stories’ of the Norwegian town Vardø, which seems to be well underway in a post-Arctic shift. Vardø has received much attention over the past decade from researchers and artists. However, efforts to describe this socially and historically dynamic place are often concentrated on the built heritage and primarily human history. With a newly built community greenhouse as my point of departure, I unfold various multispecies stories connected to the concepts of demarcation, domestication, change and acceleration that I encountered during a summer in Vardø. Curious about the hidden stories of Vardø, I ask how to remain loyal to a place’s history while incorporating new stories that just keep accelerating in their relevance.

Title: Sacralisations of nature beyond church-based religion in modern western societies
Abstract:
In environmental ethics and landscape research, sacralisations of nature have commonly been considered in the context of so-called nature religions or ethnic religions of traditional societies. However, an analysis of the cultural history of the perception of nature indicates that sacralisations of nature – contrary to classical theories of modernisation and secularisation – have remained widespread and influential in modern Western societies too. Some of these sacralisations represent (new) forms of church-based or church-oriented religion or religiosity, while others lie beyond it. I confine here myself to the latter, not to denigrate the relevance of the former but to highlight that sacralisations of nature are common even among people who are non-church-going and regard themselves as non-religious and that sacralisations thereby constitute essential non-instrumental, non-material appreciations and valuations of nature in modern Western societies. By way of examples, I reconstruct eight such types of sacralisations of nature beyond church-based religion.

Title: The effect of urban greenspace on adolescent sleep patterns
Abstract:
We investigated the effects of long-term greenspace deprivation on sleep during adolescence. Using data from a UK birth cohort, we studied deviations from age-recommended sleep duration through Time Use Diaries. Our sample (N = 1370; 53% female) of urban adolescents had been exposed to the same levels of neighbourhood greenspace from birth up to age 14 years when their time use was tracked. We factored in sex and ethnicity, family income, long-term illness, sharing of a bedroom, access to a garden, as well as air pollution and perceived area safety. Even after full adjustment, there was a significant interaction between greenspace availability and income when predicting sleep duration, such that low-income adolescents living in the greyest urban areas were found to sleep more than the 8–10 h recommended for their age group, while the inverse was true for their counterparts living in areas with more greenspace.

Title: Urban park visitor perceptions of climate change: beliefs, concerns and support for action
Abstract:
This study examined urban park visitors’ concerns, beliefs, decision to visit, and support for management actions regarding climate change. A questionnaire was administered to 429 visitors at three city-owned parks in a Midwestern community in the United States, yielding a 46.4% response rate (n = 199). Overall, results showed participants were concerned about the impacts of climate change and were supportive of managerial actions aimed at mitigating its impacts. We found that tick and mosquito-borne diseases were most likely to impact visitation. Recycling bins received the highest support for mitigating the impacts of climate change. Additionally, we observed differences across various demographics, such as non-white visitors being more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change while making trip decisions, and low-income visitors being more likely to choose incorrect climate change causations. We suggest that urban visitors can offer some important managerial insights for addressing climate change impacts.

Title: Gardens and walls: history and morality in urban China
Abstract:
This anthropological-historical paper explores the oft-neglected inner connotations of morality and history as embedded in China’s historic landscape. Situated in the heritage city of Kaifeng, it reveals how local gardens not only are architectural imitations of this ancient capital, but also are connected to the nation’s past and mediate moral lessons. A deeper textual dimension is further exposed, with an examination of a dynastic record, as well as the rich historiographical corpus lying behind it, to which garden designers refer. The arguments appearing in such a textual and intellectual dimension are then explicated with regard to the city’s old walls. The walls, which are supposed to be formidable defensive facilities, now are viewed as the symbols of learning, virtue and civilisation in contrast to sheer militarism. A further discussion about pertinent ideas in Chinese thought finally discloses the richness of this historical-moral aspect of the city’s landscape.

Title: The past, present, and future of nature and place-based interventions for human health
Abstract:
The benefits of exposure to nature for human health and wellbeing have been evidenced throughout history and across global civilisations. However, research on nature and place-based interventions for human health often centres around a reactive healthcare model rather than fully considering the cultural and historical scope of holistic approaches to health. Adopting a context-setting approach, the article signposts readers to periods, places, and practices which have exemplified or advanced our collective global understanding of health and place. This narrative review demonstrates how different disciplines, and cultural knowledges can provide a foundation to develop nature-based interventions and further curiosity to learn from other practices. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed how some people connect with their environments and consider global health. There is now an opportunity to reflection on, and ethically engage with, different practices and approaches to transition towards a more sustainable future which integrates landscape planning with health promotion.

Title: A value chain approach towards managing sustainable productive urban landscape in Egypt
Abstract:
Productive urban landscapes (PULs) offer a promising solution to address pressing challenges such as urbanisation, food and water scarcity, and climate change. Despite their potential, PULs have not yet been incorporated into Egypt’s urban planning or upgrading processes. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model that can guide sustainable management decisions for PULs. The model outlines the steps involved in the different phases of PULs and food systems, employing a value chain approach based on a literature review. Furthermore, sustainability indicators are derived based on Orientor’s theory, and their correlation to the model value chain phases is examined through expert interviews. Finally, the study presents recommended strategies to enhance urban sustainability through PUL value chains.

Title: Poetry, paths, and peatlands: integrating poetic inquiry within landscape heritage research
Abstract:
On the first page of The making of the English landscape, W.G. Hoskins states that ‘poets make the best topographers’. This speaks to the long-standing expression of human feelings, understandings, and experiences of landscape through poetry. In this article, I build from this idea of poetry as a way to write about landscapes to explore how poetic inquiry can be a powerful and appropriate method to research landscapes and their heritage. Using examples from my own research practice of the creation of new poems through a process called poetic transcription, I argue that poetic inquiry is an, as-yet, under-used approach within landscape heritage research. Furthermore, poetry’s capacity to express the plural, affective, sensorial, and subjective dimensions of engagement with landscapes and their heritage offers potential within studies informed by phenomenological and more-than-representational perspectives.

Title: Regional-scale cultural conservation planning and policy in the United States: an appeal for improvement
Abstract:
Pennsylvania’s (PA) processes and policies for landscape-scale cultural and visual resource conservation are lacking. In PA, like much of the United States (US), landscape change policies are prescriptive and concerned mainly with ecology, health, safety, and welfare issues. These factors combined relegate cultural and scenic aspects to ancillary matters, often leading to their degradation. Culturally focused fields, such as landscape architecture, archaeology, and planning call for rescaling cultural conservation planning to regional scale. Rescaling would treat cultural resources like other environmental and ecological resources, giving cultural resources equal weight in conservation evaluations. The United Kingdom (UK) has policies specifically for visual impact assessment required for development projects. This paper discusses scale issues and political processes within regional visual and cultural resource conservation in PA, US, compares nascent regional-scale planning efforts in PA and the UK, and proposes improvements to PA and, by extension, US cultural landscape conservation policy implementation.

Title: Successful conservation of United States Department of Defense Lands: Response to Emily Rabung & Eric Toman (2022), Soldiers in the garden: managing the US military training landscape
Abstract:
The National Military Fish & Wildlife Association (NMFWA) presents a rebuttal to the article by Rabung and Toman (2022) on the management of United States Department of Defense (DoD) Lands. Published literature supports the notion that military training areas are not only managed to comply with environmental laws, regulations, and policies, but also represent flourishing natural areas with diverse ecosystems, high biodiversity, and rare species. The authors dispel Rabung and Toman’s assertion that the over 26.9 million acres of military lands are not managed for environmental outcomes and demonstrate how compliance with the Sikes Act and associated laws, policies, and Executive Orders ensure that military lands are managed for discrete environmental outcomes. The authors argue that military land managers intentionally manage for environmental outcomes and outline the comprehensive ecological and conservation extent of Installation Integrated Natural Resource Management Plans (INRMPs). The authors conclude by highlighting DoD's commitment to conservation, as evidenced by its significant expenditures, policies, and breadth of proactive conservation actions.

Title: Evaluating forest landscape management for ecosystem integrity
Abstract:
Protecting forest ecosystems is a critical action for addressing both the climate and biodiversity crises. Effective long-term management of forests requires landscape approaches, but evaluating the management actions is a key challenge. Previous research has suggested evaluation should focus on three interrelated pillars: ecosystem integrity, effective planning, and strong governance. This paper presents a framework for evaluating ecosystem integrity based on the ‘Principle, Criteria, Indicator and Verifier’ (PCIV) method. The key principle used is ecosystem autopoiesis – the ability of a system for self-generation and maintenance by creating its own parts. Four key criteria are applied, accompanied by a set of nine indicators. Verifiers for each indicator are suggested for which feasible data sources are likely available. The use of the three-pillar framework, including ecosystem integrity, is illustrated using three hypothetical cases representing different forest landscape contexts. Such evaluation can provide practical, consistent, repeatable, and comparable information for stakeholders and decision makers.

Title: A study on the landscape and cultural space of Yulin City, China
Abstract:
Urban growth in China over the past 40 years has increased sharply. Following a modernist approach during this period, the historic urban cultural landscape was neglected. Recently, in response, scholars have been investigating alternative approaches whose conceptual roots spring from traditional Chinese urban planning. The theory of the ‘Science of Human Settlement Environment’ has emerged as a framework for exploring this direction. This research, drawing upon literary records, historic city maps, and field investigations, builds on this approach. Yulin City, initially developed as a high-ranking military city during the Ming Dynasty, drew upon the characteristics of the existing landscape and traditional Chinese planning strategies for its design. Noting the relationship of the city’s layout to its surrounding Shan-Shui (Mountain-Water), the development of its principal axis, the influence of the Tuo Mountain spiritual space, and the definition of the city wall, greater insight into traditional Chinese planning can be learned.

Title: A systematic review of planning principles for green infrastructure in response to urban stormwater management
Abstract:
With global warming and increasing urbanisation, cities are at significant risk of problems associated with stormwater. Green infrastructure (GI), a stormwater management tool in use worldwide, can reduce the risk of urban flooding significantly. This paper used bibliometrics to present the state of the literature on GI planning principles for stormwater management. The analysis reveals that the number of GI-related studies has grown exponentially in recent years and is most closely related to the discipline of environmental sciences/ecology, with the majority of output coming from the United States, China, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Furthermore, the inductive analysis of a database served to identify the nine most widely discussed principles for GI planning, which are adaptability, connectivity, diversity, multifunctionality, multiscale, informatisation, integration, public participation, and sustainability. These findings can inform GI efforts to cope with the risks of stormwater in the context of climate change.

Title: Re-imagining Sydney’s freshwater wetlands through historical ecology
Abstract:
Australian conservation targets commonly focus on preserving a vaguely defined ecological baseline, often conceptualised as a pre-European, ‘natural’ state. For instance, environmental legislation protects ‘Endangered Ecological Communities’ (EECs), which purportedly represent remnants of naturally occurring biota. However, EECs are often classified without long-term data, making it unclear as to whether the community being protected is indeed ‘natural’. In this essay, we use history, ecology, and geography to map the long-term socio-environmental evolution of Sydney’s freshwater wetland EECs, which were once key features of Australia’s biggest city. Our data show that today’s remnant wetlands are different from those of the early 1800s, highlighting how quickly landscapes can be misremembered. We encourage a reimagining of these wetlands not as snapshots of the past, but as human-impacted places with educational, ecological and historical importance. Our work emphasises the relevance of long-term, cross-disciplinary data for effective conservation, while highlighting limitations in post-colonial land management.

Title: Navigating tradition and modernity: a study of cultural influences and the contemporary state of Nigerian public spaces
Abstract:
Culture is an essential component of Indigenous public spaces. However, a gap in knowledge exists regarding cultural influences on Indigenous public spaces in Africa. This paper, therefore, explores the impact of cultural worldviews on the landscape and functionality of Hausa, Yoruba and Igbo squares in Nigeria. It also assesses the contemporary state of the Nigerian squares. The paper employs mixed methods, including a systematic review of literature, observations, interviews, and photographic recordings, to shed light on the strengths and deficiencies of the Indigenous squares. Findings revealed that while Indigenous public spaces cater to the socio-cultural needs of different ethnic groups, they do not fully meet modern needs and expectations, especially concerning safety and comfort. This paper advocates for the fusion of Indigenous landscape practices with contemporary approaches to foster harmonious synergy between tradition and modernity and enhance public space utilisation.

Title: The Chinese city in mountain and water: shaping the urban landscape in Chengdu
Abstract:
Although natural features like mountains and rivers are widely recognised as key factors in developing ancient Chinese urban strategies, their active role in orderly-planned cities on vast plains has rarely been thoroughly examined. Further insight into this topic is critical to comprehending the formation of Chinese mountain-water-city imagery and its physical manifestation. Chengdu, an ancient plain-dwelling city encircled by mountains and rivers from afar, is an ideal example of this inquiry. This article explores the two-millennium history of how the city responded to its natural surroundings and incorporated the landscape imagery into the architectural and urban forms, which includes the alignment of the city’s orientation with distant and neighbouring mountains, the construction of waterway networks to emulate surrounding rivers, and the strategic placement of tower-pavilion architecture to integrate with the nature. Revealing the diversity and complexity of Chengdu’s urban-landscape experiences can enrich the intellectual framework of the Chinese mountain-water-city ideal.

Title: The complex management of military lands: Response to Alan D. Schultz et al.
Abstract:
A tremendous amount of effort is put towards managing the natural resources found on United States Department of Defense (DoD) properties in ways that are both very different from and very similar to other agencies. These differences and similarities, as well as the potential for conservation benefits, make these lands and their management worth studying. To advance that understanding, both practitioner observations—like those provided by Schultz et al.—and scientific review—as presented in our previous publication—offer important if different perspectives. We hope through dialogue to address any misunderstandings about our work and to strive towards the goal of learning from each other.

Title: Third space pedagogy and community-based park design in Austin, Texas
Abstract:
The complex, diverse, and embodied nature of Latin(o/a/x) placemaking calls for place-based pedagogy that foregrounds intimate learning outside the confines of the classroom. A ‘third space’ approach to landscape pedagogy seeks to facilitate co-production with residents in a variety of outdoor learning spaces, thus fostering landscape literacy by encouraging students to grapple with the multiple meanings of Latin(o/a/x) landscapes while challenging top-down, expert-driven placemaking discourses. We assess the learning outcomes from a one-year, two-semester studio sequence that produced a community-based design proposal for a neglected city park in Austin, Texas. The outdoor learning spaces provided diverse opportunities for critical and creative engagement, relationship building, and co-production of research processes, cultivating critical awareness of the complex social contingencies of places, actors, and placemaking practices. Such a third space approach to landscape studio pedagogy can contribute to more just, participatory place-based landscape design in Latin(o/a/x) landscapes.

Title: The spiritual forest: an ethnographic exploration of Finnish forest yoga and the forest landscape
Abstract:
This article discusses the Finnish forest yoga phenomenon, which incorporates contemporary spiritual discourses on nature, landscape, ‘the self’ and gender. We scrutinise ethnographic fieldwork materials, autoethnographic writings and other materials related to forest yoga. By using the methods of collaborative ethnography, we assert that forest yoga practices partially question and fragment, and partially reconstruct, previous forest-related discourses, practices and imageries in Finland. This results in new interpretations of forest landscapes, in which the local, global and national scales are intertwined and mediated through the body and the experiences of the yogi in the forest space. In these processes, the forest becomes gendered as a feminine and ‘safe’ space for the female body, but it is also experienced as a place for negotiating metaphorical and physical ‘roots’. Thus, previous national discourses on forests as ‘sacred places of Finns’ are brought forth, but also reinterpreted in the transnational spiritual frame.

Title: Gardens of conflict: the military role of Islamic and Byzantine gardens
Abstract:
Despite recent strides in the exploration of gardens within formal, functional, and symbolic dimensions, the link between gardens and warfare remains an overlooked facet in the realm of garden and landscape history. The present study aims to illuminate the role that gardens assumed during times of conflict. Drawing from primary historical accounts, this research delves into the gardens of both the Byzantine and Eastern Islamic realms through a military lens, conceiving gardens as encampments, battlefields, providers of sustenance, sources of war materiel, and means of defending cities. The findings of this study reveal that both Byzantine and Islamic gardens undertook multifaceted military functions by serving as strategic positioning grounds for the armed forces and meeting their edible needs, particularly during sieges. However, it appears that gardens in Greater Iran and Transoxiana were much more profoundly connected to wars.

Title: Pungryu: transcendent ways of seeing landscape
Abstract:
This study investigates the Korean practice of pungryu, a unique way of appreciating landscapes intertwining aesthetic enjoyment with spiritual and philosophical pursuits. Pungryu, deeply rooted in the quest for divine immortality and harmony with nature, is explored as a lens through which Koreans have traditionally interacted with their landscapes. The study employs a historical and cultural analysis, drawing upon various sources to trace the evolution and influence of pungryu on Korean landscape culture. Pungryu is revealed as not just a practice but a sophisticated cultural expression that has shaped the Korean understanding of nature and beauty. This expression is rich in symbolic and metaphorical content, serving as a conduit for artistic inspiration, empirical knowledge and national identity. The paper underscores the importance of pungryu in comprehending the broader concept of cultural landscapes, highlighting its role in the ongoing discourse on authenticity and cultural diversity within the heritage landscape context.

Title: A study on the fusion of musical theme landscape and soundscape in Hefei Feicui Lake scenic spot, China
Abstract:
The health of the urban public can be promoted by shaping ecological landscapes and reducing noise. Visual landscapes and soundscape, considered as important components of sustainable urban development, are becoming increasingly concerned. In this study, Hefei Feicui Lake scenic spot in China was regarded as an example. By using questionnaire survey, soundwalks and acoustic monitoring methods, which aimed to understand people’s sense of identification with musical theme landscape and soundscape in the area, and further explored the effects of the interaction between musical theme landscape and soundscape on the perceived soundscape restoration of visitors. The results showed that musical theme landscape and soundscape could affect people’s emotions on the individual level and their behaviours, such as staying (viewing the scenery or rest) on the social level. On this basis, a strategy for creating urban public space inspired by the art of music was proposed as the topic of this study.

Title: How can place support pedagogy? Application of the concept of cognitive affordances in research and design of outdoor learning environments
Abstract:
This paper adopts an ecological approach to describe the opportunities offered by school landscape for children’s curricular learning. The approach is based on Gibson’s concept of affordances which refers to the opportunities offered by an environment to its users. The research conducted in school grounds in two different contexts – Scotland and Bangladesh drew on this theory to examine the relationship between the school landscape and children’s learning. Case study research included application of observation and behaviour mapping in school grounds, and interviews with participants in both contexts. Opportunities for teaching and learning offered by the school landscape in both cases were later defined as ‘cognitive affordances’ by the authors. ‘The concept of ‘cognitive’ affordances’ had limited attention in the field of landscape research. This paper thus introduces and defines the term to understand and study the potential of outdoor environments for development of children’s learning and cognition.

Title: Landscapes of care: politics, practices, and possibilities
Abstract:
Care offers a framework to shift relations with land and suggest alternative possibilities to dominant, and often extractive, landscape practices. With increasing attention to inequities in labour, histories of erasure and exclusion, ongoing harms of colonisation, and the uneven impacts of how climate change reshapes landscapes, care has come to describe hopeful ideas for how landscapes are researched, maintained, and designed. Yet, care is not a simple solution to complex problems. In reviewing landscapes of care through politics, practices, and possibilities, we assert that care situated in landscape must acknowledge the relationship between the control of land and power, and resist paternalistic modes of care which normalise social and environmental injustices manifest in landscapes. As landscape scholars increasingly engage topics of care, we urge for a more critical politics of care that is reflective of how landscape relations generated through care reveal and remake relationships to power.

Title: People and places: towards an understanding and categorisation of reasons for place attachment – case studies from the north of England
Abstract:
People develop a sense of place, belonging and identity when a place affords tangible and intangible benefits like security, familiarity, shelter, food, work opportunities, and social interaction. Places form landscapes individually valued by people for these reasons. This paper describes Topic Modelling as a new grounded approach to assessing people’s sense of place in a rural landscape affording special qualities for everyday working and living situations – the Peak District National Park, UK. This novel approach is applicable and scalable to any landscape, rural or urban, iconic, or everyday. Results of this study show that significant themes and phenomena not hypothesised at the initial research design stage can emerge from interview data. Examples include pro-environmental behaviours resulting from traditional farming practices, environmental benefits of the drystone-walling tradition, and attitudes towards rewilding initiatives. We argue that such phenomena arise from people’s attachment to place and influence their behaviours.

Title: The use of old demarcations to recover vanished landscapes: a case study in Doñana (SW Spain)
Abstract:
This study emphasises the value of surveys, demarcations, and boundary delimitations in uncovering vanished landscapes and understanding the origins of present ecosystems, with a particular focus on Doñana, Spain. A 1661 delimitation was examined providing detailed information on the state of vegetation and ecosystems at the time it was conducted, as well as the processes and disappearance of elements now buried under the mobile dunes. This information was combined with historical maps and documents to gain a better understanding of the area’s ecological history. The demarcation revealed previously unknown aspects, such as the penetration point of the mobile dunes, some vanished ponds, and the drainage of the Santa Olalla pond towards the sea. It also revealed lost and relocated place names, shedding light on their significance through additional historical research and fieldwork. The findings highlight the importance of demarcations in reconstructing vanished landscapes and understanding the genesis of current ecosystems.

Title: The connections between Historic Urban Landscape layers in Jingdezhen, the porcelain capital of China
Abstract:
The Historic Urban Landscape (HUL) approach offers an innovative integrated approach to urban conservation based on layering analysis. However, adapting the HUL layering model to the East Asian context, particularly China, is problematic. This issue can be addressed by incorporating connection analysis into the HUL approach. The current study emphasises the need to consider the interwoven spatial structure of the urban landscape and treat deeper cultural-natural ties as those embodied in the traditional Chinese concept of Fengshui. Taking Jingdezhen, the historic centre of China’s traditional ceramics industry, as a case study, this study demonstrates local knowledge of natural geography and local intelligence regarding settlement location and design. The results indicate that the natural system is at the core of Jingdezhen’s HUL, and the elements of nature, function and spirit form a holistic and interactive system.
