Stakeholders of landscape About us
An old mill could be the object of debate among many stakeholders - "horisontally" and all in their good rights... An example from a Polish Guide - just across the Baltic Sea Central in the Landscape Convention (word-file, 51 kb) are not merely the terms protection, management and planning. Other key words both here and in "Recommendations (2002)1 of the Committee of Minsters to Member States on the Guiding Principles for Sustainable Spatial Development of the European Continent" (PDF-file, 398 kb), are, indeed, the citizens and the participation of the public. We are not accustomed to direct citizens perspectives in landscape matters in Sweden - are we? However, we are all concerned by it... The European Landscape Convention and
the texts around it are very explicite concerning a basic fact: you
needn't be a landscape architect, a communal or regional planner or a
bigwig of the community in order to have your own personal ideas
concerning what you feel to be your own landscape - nor about your
rights and possibilities of expressing them! Thus, there is a role for each and everyone of us - with all thye normal rights and obligations that go with our role as citizens - concerning the huge question of how "our" landscapes' health, actual conditions and transformations. All of this seen primarily as a consequence of the relation between landscape and those peope and individuals that engage themselves for their sake. It sometimes happens that landscapes remain in a static condition - and some other times that they find themselves in the center of a huge dynamic. Landscape (and the whole knowledge and deep-rooted identity they do, among other things, express) may fade away and die. And they may also be reborn... Whether we are active or passive: we can't escape the role of beeing all actors, or stakeholders of landscape.

Introduction 3  2005 "What is rural heritage? "The landscapes carved out over centuries by people who lived off the land and, more generally, through the exploitation of natural resources. (---) However, we cannot discuss rural cultural heritage without referring to two obvious facts. The people who use the countryside, who live there and who have often played a decisive role in ensuring that these assets have survived are increasingly aware that it belongs to them and are becoming more vocal on this issue. At the same time, the countryside, and the heritage that it represents and contains, is considered the property of every individual, including those from towns as well as from the countryside."

Could our national debate on laws, traditions and institutions be more discussed in order for us, as citizens, to find out more about how they have influenced us and are influencing us? Not least in a period of on-going globalization, it should be essential to discuss just what formal and practical tools a young person, heading out for her first elections as a Citizen, would need. Someone said: "Without knowledge you can't act; with knowledge you can't help acting." Words, carrying a specific meaning in today's Sweden - just as in the French Republic that is the setting of this book.
... an interest for the questions of society in the broad sense, including several (landscape) arenas! |
