l’ouvrage mettant en avant
la cohérence et surtout les limites
de leurs approches respectives, traduites
par les dysfonctionnements
connus par le milieu, principalement
celui de la ville de Paris. Pour
ce faire, un point de vue original est
adopté, celui du sol et du sous-sol,
par opposition à l’air et à l’eau qui
sont considérés depuis plus d’un
siècle comme les principaux vecteurs
de l’environnement et de la
salubrité.”

highly governed landscapes and
landscape health: A case study of
the lower Piave area of Northeastern
Italy, PhD Wilfrid Laurier
University (Canada) .
“This dissertation examines the
issue of biophysical landscape
health. Its primary objective is to
produce an interpretation of biophysical
landscape health for the
highly governed landscapes of the
lower piave am of northeastern
Italy. Highly governed landscapes
are considered to be those which
are highly controlled by human to
an even greater degree than normal
cultural landscapes. An example is
reclaimed agricultural landscapes
such as those of the northeastern
Italian coastal belt from which the
lower Piave case study is drawn.
These landscapes are highly governed
because without constant
human intervention, they would
revert back to their former marsh
state the idea of landscape health
is derived from ecosystem health,
which is a metaphor drawn from
human health. As with human
health, a healthy system is one that
is in a sound and complete state,
and able to recover from distress
and disease. ‘Health’ concepts are
increasingly viewed as more appropriate
paradigms for and assessing
the state and condition of biophysical
systems. Specific characteristics
of landscape health include
absence of distress and risk factors,
sustainability, resilience, biological
diversity, equilibrium and balance,
and structural stability. Key to this
interpretation is that a condition
of landscape health is not incompatible
with traditional land uses
and landscape governance. This
interpretation and defining characteristics
is considered to be significant
in that it represents a basic
framework and starting point for
landscape health monitoring and
assessment. This definition is also
significant in that it is considered
to be applicable to other similar
highly governed landscapes.”

“Debates about the causes and
impacts of global environmental
degradation go to the heart of economic
and political systems and
raise fundamental questions about
power and inequity in the contemporary
world. This text provides a
lucid and wide-ranging analysis of
those debates and competing views
on environmental governance, the
crisis of capacity in the state system,
the international political economy
of the environment, strategies for
sustainable development, and the
pursuit of environmental security.”

changes from the Enlightenment
to the late-twentieth century. What
