Motivations and barriers in Huddersfield’s community gardens
This study scrutinises the motivations and barriers to participation in community gardens (CGs) in Huddersfield, a town in West Yorkshire, UK, through the lens of experiential social capital. It presents a theoretical framework that integrates bonding, bridging, and linking social capital, while emphasising the importance of shared sensory experiences in strengthening social bonds and emotional connections. Using qualitative methods, the study dr…
Royal Gardens in Republican Iran
In 1925, the rise of Reza Shah Pahlavi’s regime led to the deliberate destruction of Qajar gardens (1785 to 1925), most of which were converted into military bases. A limited number, such as the Golestan Palace Garden, were partly preserved. However, there had been mass destruction of ‘unsolicited’ and ‘outdated’ buildings by the Qajars and the denigration of religious rituals. Following the fall of the monarchy and establishment of the Islamic R…
Hierarchical access to the edible landscape
The Akbarieh Garden in Iran accommodates both pleasure and edible landscapes. In this study, visitor accessibility of the fruit trees of this garden was assessed using continuous and stop-motion walking modes. Results indicated that in the continuous walking mode, focus rested more on recognising the macro elements of the garden along the walkways; therefore, the edible landscape was not adequately considered. In the stop-motion mode, by stopping…
Shiraz's heritage gardens during the political turmoil in Twentieth-century Iran
This paper aims to study the impacts of complex political changes on the material and socio-cultural dimensions of the heritage gardens, which initially belonged to the nobilities of Shiraz. The paper scrutinises the factors that have altered the gardens’ lives during the Festival of Arts in the 1960s, followed by the Islamic Revolution of 1979. Through employing interpretive-historical research methods and examining primary sources including mem…
A renewed approach to conservation policy of historical gardens in Iran
In Iran, due to political and economic challenges, historical gardens are not celebrated as an important part of the country’s heritage. The issue of garden conservation is widely neglected, and up to now, there has been no record of its own history. This paper retrospectively re-examines the changes in the perception of cultural heritage through the lens of historical gardens in twentieth-century Iran. The data have been collected from unexamine…
Persian Gardens and Pavilions
Scholarly interest in Persian gardens increased following the excavation by Scottish archaeologist, David Stronach at the site of Pasargadae in 1967. Research has further developed in the related f
