Awareness raising landscape - Initiative for sustainable development of the landscape applied and investigated using the example of the municipality of Leutschach/South Styria
Abstract
Based on the technical foundation of the "Integral Model of Landscape", the project "Raising Awareness of Landscape" follows on from the findings and results of the study "Methodological Guidelines for the Survey of Landscape Potentials (2019)". As part of a comprehensive understanding of landscape and landscape potential, the educational initiative provides the basis for sustainable development of landscape - implemented using the example of the municipality of Leutschach in southern Styria. In a first step, the landscape potential of the municipality of Leutschach will be prepared for educational work in terms of content and didactics. Together with political and regional representatives of the municipality of Leutschach, an educational project adapted to the situation of the municipality will be developed on the content, didactic and formal level. In addition, the technical and didactic implementation of the project "Awareness raising landscape" is coordinated and accompanied. In cooperation with the municipality, concrete educational units in the form of seminars lasting several days are held on site with the population of Leutschach in order to explore and strengthen the awareness of the landscape and its potentials by means of methods of spatial perception. Subsequently, concrete approaches to action are developed in workshops, the results of which are incorporated into subsequent planning projects of the municipality in the form of a future workshop (after Jungk, R./Müllert,N., 1989). The aim of the project is the application, evaluation and further development of didactic and participatory methods for the mediation and sustainable development of landscape in the context of citizen participation procedures applied and investigated using the example of the municipality of Leutschach in southern Styria. The research questions are: - Which empirically oriented methods, in the context of creative-aesthetic approaches (Landscape Aesthetic Description, Wöbse 2020, Guide to Landscape Aesthetic Recording and Analysis, Frohmann/Schubert 2017, Associative Spatial Perception, Frohmann 2017), support a sustainable development process of landscape. - What foundations do knowledge-based and emotional experiences create in the context of awareness raising to promote sustainable development processes in communities? - Is the method of Zukunftswerkstadt (after Jungk, R./Müllert,N., 1989) an adequate model to support educational and participation processes in the sense of sustainable landscape development?
