The Need for a Cultural Landscape Theory
The research in this book was born from an intellectual curiosity regarding the concept of 'cultural landscape.' The study resulted from a desire to clarify and expand the understanding of the term, as the starting point was the idea that a good practice is always based on a well-built theory. Thus, the purpose is to establish the importance of theoretical knowledge of the concept of 'cultural landscape.' (Series: Urban and Spatial Planning / Stadt- und Raumplanung - Vol. 12)
Landscape Analysis and Planning
This book presents recent advances in landscape analysis and landscape planning based on selected studies conducted in different parts of Europe. Included are methodological problems and case studies presented and discussed during scientific sessions organized by the Commission of Landscape Analysis and Landscape Planning of the International Geographical Union (IGU) within the framework of the IGU Regional Conference in Kraków, Poland, August 18-22, 2014. The subject of landscape analysis and landscape planning has been of interest to geographers since the beginning of the twentieth century. This relatively new area of study, which focuses on the landscape resource patches and spatial interconnections, was first introduced as landscape ecology (Landschaftsoekologie) by Carl Troll, one of the twentieth century’s most influential physical geographers. Today, landscape studies involve adopting a holistic view of geographic environments and are closely connected to rapidly developing ecosystem, sustainable landscape and ecosystem services approaches. Modern techniques employing Geographical Information Systems are used to support spatial landscape analyses.
Transformation und Landschaft
Gesellschaftliche Transformationsprozesse manifestieren sich sowohl in physischen Räumen als auch der sozialen Konstruktion von Landschaften. Mit dem Wechsel vom sozialistisch-modernen zum postmodernen Gesellschaftssystem gestalten sich die Transformationsprozesse in Ostmittel- und Osteuropa besonders deutlich. Aber auch in Westmitteleuropa lässt sich mit dem Übergang von dem fordistischen zum postfordistischen Akkumulationsregime ein deutlicher Wandel in der Gesellschaft feststellen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes behandeln sowohl die theoretischen Aspekte des Zusammenhangs von Landschaft als auch dessen Auswirkungen auf ausgewählte Regionen in Deutschland und Polen.
