Abstract

Glavni cilj knjige je predstaviti način upravljanja s kulturnimi vrednotami v lokalni skupnosti. Z njo želimo sprožiti nove razvojne impulze in hkrati prispevati k ohranjanju kulture in opolnemočenja lokalne skupnosti. Publikacija poudarja pristop »od spodaj navzgor«, kjer so lokalni deležniki glavni sprožitelji, upravljavci in končni uporabniki celotnega procesa ustvarjanja novih ali dodatnih turističnih proizvodov, ki izhajajo iz njihove lokalne kulture. Večji del knjige predstavlja metodologija, poimenovana »Smernice za upravljanje s kulturnimi vrednotami v ruralnih območjih«, ki so predstavljene v drugem poglavju. Smernice skušajo na praktičen in konkreten način nazorno prikazati vse korake, ki jih mora lokalna skupnost izpolniti, da se začne proces odkrivanja, varovanja in zlasti uporabe lastnih kulturnih vrednot v razvojne namene. Napisane so v obliki navodil, na enostaven in uporabniku prijazen način, ter kot priročnik vodijo bralca: skozi šest korakov od prve ideje do končne uresničitve, ki je lahko ov proizvod ali storitev, izkušnja ali zgodba, osnovana na kulturni vrednoti z razvojnim potencialom.

Abstract

In Norway, the outfields [utmark] are understood as mainly un-cultivated countryside areas such as forest and upland and make up over 70 per cent of the country’s land area. The outfields are the grounds for land uses such as grazing, forestry, hunting, fishing, recreation, wind- and hydropower production and mining.Major changes are taking place in the Norwegian outfields. Cabin construction, predators, grazing, and an increasing level of conflict between traditional and new users of these areas are causing heated debate about the use of these lands and their resources. In Utmark i endring [Outfields in Transformation], some of the country's leading social scientists in the field provide an overview of the significant changes and insight into how to further the ongoing debate about the future of these outlying areas. The use of the outfields has always been important to Norwegians. It is where weekend homes, wind power, mining and outdoor recreation are creating a certain quality of life – and workplaces. Yet these uses are also challenging our values regarding the natural environment, cultural values and traditional uses of these areas such as sheep and reindeer grazing.Changes in how these areas are valuated and used can lead to several conflicts of interest: Can traditional grazing survive the encroachment by other users and predators?How much expansion of second-home developments can the land tolerate?What should the limit be on adaptation for recreational activities?What aspects of the history of this territory do we value?The contributors to this book come from such various disciplines as geography, sociology, law, economics and philosophy – and therefore have different perspectives on the changes that are occurring. Collectively, the chapters in Utmark i endring make a significant contribution to existing research and can serve as a basis for further discussion of the challenges that businesses, individual users, and custodians of these lands face. Utmark i endring is thought-provoking reading for anyone with an interest in Norwegian land use and management, including students, researchers, business leaders and land managers. With its interesting and socially relevant content, this book is also highly relevant for the average socially engaged citizen. Utmark i endring has been edited by Frode Flemsæter, senior researcher at Ruralis and associate professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and Bjørn Egil Flø, senior researcher at the Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO).; Det er i ferd med å skje store endringar i den norske utmarka. Hyttebygging, rovdyr, beiting og aukande konfliktnivå mellom tradisjonelle og nye brukarar fører til heftige debattar om bruken av utmarka og utmarksressursane. I boka Utmark i endring gjev nokre av landets fremste samfunnsforskarar innanfor feltet utmark ei innføring i viktige endringar, og innspel til korleis ein kan bringe debattane rundt framtida til utmarka vidare.Bruk av utmark har alltid vore viktig for oss nordmenn. Her kan fritidsbustadar, vindkraftutbygging, gruvedrift og friluftsliv skape livskvalitet og arbeidsplassar. Samstundes utfordrar bruken både naturverdiar, kulturverdiar og tradisjonell utmarksbruk som sau- og reinbeite.Arealpresset i utmarka er veksande og kan føre til fleire interessekonfliktar: Kan beitenæringane overleve areal- og rovdyrpress?Kor mange fleire fritidsbustader toler utmarka?Kvar går grensa for tilrettelegging i friluftslivet?Kva for del av utmarkshistoria er det vi verdset?Bidragsytarane i boka kjem frå ulike fagfelt som geografi, sosiologi, jus, økonomi og filosofi – og gjev med dette ulike perspektiv på endringane i utmarka. Samla gir Utmark i endring eit vesentleg bidrag til utmarskforskinga, og kan fungere som eit diskusjonsgrunnlag for dei utfordringane som næringar, brukarar og forvaltarar av utmarka står overfor.Utmark i endring er tankevekkande lesing for alle med interesse for bruk og forvalting av utmarka. Dette kan vere studentar, forskarar, næringsaktørar eller forvaltarar av utmarka. Med eit interessant og samfunnsaktuelt innhald er boka òg høgaktuell for den jamne samfunnsengasjerte borgar. Utmark i endring er redigert av Frode Flemsæter, seniorforskar ved Ruralis og fyrsteamanuensis ved NTNU, og Bjørn Egil Flø, seniorforskar ved NIBIO.

Abstract

"Small islands have received growing attention in the context of climate change. Rising sea-levels, intensifying storms, changing rainfall patterns and increasing temperatures force islanders to deal with and adapt to a changing climate. How do they respond to the challenge? What works, what doesn’t – and why? The present volume addresses these questions by exploring adaptation experiences in small islands across the world’s oceans from various perspectives and disciplines, including geography, anthropology, political science, psychology, and philosophy. The contributions to the volume focus on political and financial difficulties of climate change governance; highlight the importance of cultural values, local knowledge and perceptions in and for adaptation; and question to what extent mobility and migration constitute sustainable adaptation. Overall, the contributions highlight the diversity of island contexts, but also their specific challenges; they present valuable lessons for both adaptation success and failure, and emphasise island resilience and agency in the face of climate change." -- back cover.

Abstract

Geological Heritage has very diverse elements, both for its intrinsic nature and for its social and scientific significance. These elements have a scientific dimension (stratigraphic, geomorphological, lithological, paleontological, etc.) and a landscape dimension, both with implications for territorial management. In territorial management and planning, it is essential to carry out inventory and cataloging of places of natural and social interest to establish a comprehensive policy. The identification and valuation of the geological and biological heritage, and their interaction in the landscape should favor the conservation and preservation of this natural and historical heritage. Sustainable development implies rational use that prevents the degradation or loss of these unique environments of the natural environment as well as a dissemination and awareness of landscape resources for a better understanding and enjoyment, integrating activities of both environmental education and nature tourism.The diversity of a territory is the result of the complex and continuous interaction of the geological substrate (geotopical) and biological factors that model the existing ecological and evolutionary processes at the level of genes, species, ecosystems, and landscapes and that are expressed in a characteristic representation of organisms adapted to these factors. These vary according to the spatial dimensions and the temporal scales considered, in a wide range, that goes from the geological processes that involve millions of years and vast territories to the casuistic biotic, and anthropic events that can occur in an instant in any territorial sector.

Abstract

Governments have known since the 1960s that smoking results in irreversible health damage. This open access book examines why governments have done so little to combat this when they have been aware of the problem and its solutions for decades. What are the strategies and decisions that make a difference, given that policy environments are often not conducive to change? Taking the Netherlands as an example, this book helps to understand the complex policy process at the national level and why it so often appears irrational to us. It is the most sophisticated analysis of tobacco control policy to date, applying insights from political sciences to the field of tobacco control. Marc C. Willemsen is Professor of Tobacco Control Research at the Department of Health Promotion, University of Maastricht, the Netherlands. He started tobacco research in 1989 and has since become a recognised expert in the field of tobacco control. He wrote and contributed to numerous research studies and scientific papers. In addition to his academic work, he gained first hand insights into the policy making process while working for various national tobacco control organisations. .
