Contested LAndsCApes
Landscape planning is always related to contested landscapes; the profession
attains its motivation and legitimacy from the very fact that there are several
interests and stakeholders, and more viewpoints of the same landscape.
People do not only have different perceptions of the same landscape, like
D.W.Meinig explained in “The Beholding Eye (1979) – sometimes they are
also deeply offended by others’ view, or they may suffer under the landscape
practices of a more powerful stakeholder to “their own landscape”. Landscapes
are attached to people’s identity, and landscape planning addresses very
capricious substance when sorting out the conflicts of a specific landscape.
Thus, landscape planning usually requires a process of management with
«tensions» between different players.
These tensions are, of course, even more severe for landscape planning and
management in conflict regions. The stakes are higher and so are the risks of
misconceptions. In conflict regions themes like contemporary identity related
to landscape archaeology, narratives and myth gain more intention than
academic interest; they may determine the location of new settlements and
delineation of borders between different groups of inhabitants, and in many
other ways have decisive impact on people’s everyday life.
The papers of these proceedings present a number of themes related to
such tensions. Archaeology, conflict and contemporary identity are underlying
themes in many studies presented. There are naturally many contributions from
Palestine and the Middle East region, and some papers explore the impact
of Israeli settlements on the landscape, while others investigate the impact
of the separation wall on the landscape in the occupied territories. But these
themes also have wider scopes; the Cyprus green line, separation barriers
in general, and the divided city as phenomenon are studied. Landscapes
of dominance and control and the South African conflict landscape are also
discussed in some of the papers. Disaster management, the issue of shelter
areas and the perceptions of landscape change are also on the research
agendas of these proceedings. Yet, the conflicts related to urbanization of
cultural landscape, urban transformation and gender issues related to urban
open space; they are all part of the studies included in the agendas and will
be presented at the conference.
The viewpoints are manifold and conclusions may point in different directions,
but there are still some common denominators; all share the same ambition
that these studies will contribute to the augmented knowledge about
landscape planning and management in conflict regions. Such knowledge
and understanding may however be difficult to digest in some cases. The
studies of the German National Socialist landscape agenda presented in “Die
Liebe Zur Landschaft” (“The love of the landscape”) by Joachim Wolschke-
Bulmahn and Gert Gröning (1986) is still a difficult issue in some places,
and the topic itself, is a highly controversial issue: a contested landscape of
ideology.
These proceedings about landscape planning and management in conflict
regions bring forward ideas and perspectives that may prove just as
contentious as the above-mentioned example, and the discussions following
this broadcasting may surely be callous and severe. But in planning studies
conflicts are inevitable; all landscapes are contested.
