evropska konvencija o krajini - Ministrstvo za infrastrukturo in prostor

ni mogoče »varovati«; takšen pristop (ki izhaja izvzorcev za varstvo spomenikov in naravnihrezervatov iz zgodnjega dvajsetega ali celodevetnajstega stoletja) je neprimeren, pa vendarse nenehno pojavlja v razpravah na delavnicahEvropske konvencije o krajini.Varstvo bo konec koncev postalo neučinkovito,razen na območjih, kjer se javno dojemanjekrajine usmerja k novemu oblikovanju krajine kot»naravne« ali »divje«. Ta območja (vsaj v VelikiBritaniji so to tista območja, kjer je bilo upravljanjes strani ljudi prekinjeno zaradi ekonomskihdejavnikov in demografskih sprememb, in tista,kjer se je razvil donosen bioturizem) ali območjakjer »ekosistemski« pristopi (ki pogostokratobravnavajo ljudi, kot da so izključeni iz sistema,in da samo vplivajo na območje, ne štejejo pakot povzročitelji in ustvarjalci) postopomazamenjujejo krajino kot teoretični okvir zavarstvo okolja. To predstavlja manj upanja zaresnične »kulturne« krajine, ki vsaj v zahodniEvropi 21. stoletja predstavljajo veliko večino.Na kratko lahko obravnavamo krajino ne samokot objekt naših naporov, kot nekaj ali nekoabout managing landscape Convention workshops.Protection, however, will ultimately become ineffectiveexcept in areas where public perceptionsof landscape are turning towards a new constructionof landscape as »natural« or »wild«.These (in the UK at least are in effect those areaswhere human management is being withdrawnbecause of economic factors and demographicchange and to which bio-tourism isstarting to bring money) or where »ecosytems«approaches (which very often regard people asoutside the system, as merely impacts upon itrather than as agents and indeed creators) beginto replace landscape as theoretical frameworkfor environmental protection. It will be lesshelpful for truly »cultural« landscapes, which atleast in 21 st century Western Europe are the vastmajority.We can also briefly consider landscape not justas the object of our endeavours, as somethingor some perception that requires us to manageit or plan its future for its own sake (or becausewe value it), but also as a way of guiding change67Delavnica 1 / Workshop 115LCA (Andy Wigley, Shropshire CC)HLC (Andy Wigley, Shropshire CC)Countryside Character Map of England(Natural England with English Heritage)
