Situating knowledges, sharing values and reaching collective decisions
This chapter presents some of the contributions that cultural geography can make to the development and implementation of environmental policies. It explores how cultural geographers working in fields dominated by the natural sciences and economics can articulate an alternative way of shaping society–nature relations. Differing opinions on the comparative value of particular management practices are commonplace as reserve and land managers try to…

Power Relations: The Politics of Risk and Procedure in Nuclear Waste Governance
This paper develops a critical perspective on the 'new' governance of science and the environment which is increasingly evident in practical attempts to build more constructive relations between science and democracy through hybrid 'analytic-deliberative' processes. The focus is on recent institutional and participatory experiments in the governance of nuclear waste, specifically the work of the UK Committee on Radioactive Waste Management and th…
Deliberative mapping: A novel analytic-deliberative methodology to support contested science-policy decisions
This paper discusses the methodological development of Deliberative Mapping (DM), a participatory, multi-criteria, option appraisal process that combines a novel approach to the use of quantitative decision analysis techniques with some significant innovations in the field of participatory deliberation. DM is a symmetrical process, engaging “specialists” and “citizens” in the same appraisal process, providing for consistency of framing, mutual in…
Cultural Circuits of Climate Change in U.K. Broadsheet Newspapers, 1985–2003
This article argues for a cultural perspective to be brought to bear on studies of climate change risk perception. Developing the "circuit of culture" model, the article maintains that the producers and consumers of media texts are jointly engaged in dynamic, meaning-making activities that are context-specific and that change over time. A critical discourse analysis of climate change based on a database of newspaper reports from three U.K. broads…
Follow the argument where it leads: Some personal reflections on ‘policy‐relevant’ research
Challenging the ‘view from nowhere’: Citizen reflections on specialist expertise in a deliberative process
(Un)sustainable consumption
This book by leading researchers presents a critical review of debates in environmental social science over the past decade. Three broad areas are covered in ten chapters: the problems of scientific uncertainty and its role in shaping environmental policy and decisions; the development of institutional frameworks for governing natural resources; and the link between economic and technological change and the environment. The book begins with an ov…
I struggled with this money business”: Respondents’ perspectives on contingent valuation
Knowledges in action: An actor network analysis of a wetland agri-environment scheme
Respondents' evaluations of a CV survey: A case study based on an economic valuation of the Wildlife Enhancement Scheme, Pevensey Levels in East Sussex
Environmental economists have developed a methodology for eliciting individual preferences by asking respondents to a contingent valuation survey how much they would be willing to pay for specified environmental ‘goods’. Contingent valuation generates considerable debate, not least because it is unclear how people arrive at a monetary value or whether the elicited monetary value bears any relation to how individuals actually value the environment…
River landscapes: Changing the concrete overcoat
River landscapes are increasingly important components of rural and urban environments but many river locations have become degraded by ‘over‐engineering’ and neglect. They now need careful resuscitation using the range of relevant disciplines such that their values are enhanced in a sustainable way. The ‘cultural’ turn taken by landscape studies in the past decade or so will help, by adding interpretive skills and a deeper analysis of shared val…

Social Constructions of Nature: A Case Study of Conflicts over the Development of Rainham Marshes
This paper analyses social constructions of nature in different discursive contexts and the ways in which particular representations of nature are used to legitimate specific institutional policies and practices. The proposal to create a commercial and entertainment development on the Rainham Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in east London provides the case study. Drawing on arguments from media sociology and the sociology of ri…

Streetwork— an encounter with place
The Streetwork project is a practical exercise in carrying out a qualitative study of people‐ in‐place. It forms the core of our teaching in cultural geography at University College London (UCL). Forming part of a second year course, the project develops the initial exposure to qualitative fieldwork experienced during a first year field course. The nature and implementation of the project is described and the skills training involved in the cours…
Contested meanings: The consumption of news about nature conservation
Making sense of environmental issues and landscape representations in the media
In my brief for the state‐of‐the‐art review, 1 was asked to provide a summary of research which addressed the question of what role the mass media were playing in influencing people's attitudes and values towards landscapes and nature. This paper is not, however, an edited version of my original submission. There are two reasons why I have taken the opportunity to write a new essay. First, much of the work I reviewed formed a substantial part of …
The Production and Consumption of Environmental Meanings in the Mass Media: A Research Agenda for the 1990s

People, Parks and the Urban Green: A Study of Popular Meanings and Values for Open Spaces in the City
Contemporary provision of open spaces within cities rests largely on professional assumptions about its significance in the lives of residents. This paper presents results from the Greenwich Open Space Project which used qualitative research with four, in-depth discussion groups to determine the design of a questionnaire survey of households in the borough. The research shows that the most highly valued open spaces are those which enhance the pos…
