Agricultural land use management responses to a cap and trade regime for water quality in Lake Taupo catchment, New Zealand
A landscape and landscape biography approach to assessing the consequences of an environmental policy implementation
Assessing outcomes of agri-environmental policy implementations is complex. Traditional parametric methods such as using key indicators can miss outcomes that are displaced in time and space, seldom account for the integrated nature of social and biophysical dynamics, and may overlook unintended consequences. This project aimed to overcome these drawbacks by using a landscape biography approach to analyse an innovative agri-environmental policy e…
A case-based methodology for investigating urban comfort through interpretive research and microclimate analysis in post-earthquake Christchurch, New Zealand
This paper explores how an interpretive case-based research strategy can reveal new empirical and theoretical insights into microclimate design. Innovative fieldwork in Christchurch, New Zealand investigated the nature and social meanings of urban comfort in a city with a seasonal climate featuring microclimatic variability, and with a physical landscape undergoing rapid change following a series of major earthquakes. Ethnographic methods were co…
Place names and landscape character
Landscape characterisation has become an important tool in the interpretation of the distinctive features, patterns and identity of a region for planning purposes. However, conventional assessment methods that focus upon visual character may overlook some cultural values. This study investigates how toponymy—the analysis of place names—can be undertaken as a contribution to landscape characterisation. The study focus is Otago Region, New Zealand,…
Forty years of Landscape Research
Papers of four decades published in Landscape Research are reviewed in order to chronicle the journal’s development and to assess the academic performance of the journal relative to its own aims. Landscape Research intends to reach a wide audience, to have a broad thematic coverage and to publish different types of papers with various methodological orientations. Cutting across these first aims are the interdisciplinary ambition of the journal, a…
Pathways to sustainable landscape management
New Zealand is a food producer and exporter that combines neoliberal policy with performance-based environmental management, using ‘soft’ governance and actions where possible. Voluntary environmental farm awards are analysed to identify the landscape management activities recognised as best practice by peers at a farm level. Results highlight the importance of whole farm system management. However, the efficacy of reliance upon voluntary mechani…
Sustainability Practices in New Zealand Agricultural Landscapes under an Open Market Policy Regime
Current best practice in New Zealand landscape management at the interface of the global trade agenda with local landscape sustainability is identified through key informants and report literature, and classified into two categories. Systemic management practices such as product certification and nutrient budgets complement and contrast with territorial practices such as riparian planting, environment farm plans, area co-management and integrated…
Intersecting Dynamics of Agricultural Structural Change and Urbanisation within European Rural Landscapes
European rural landscapes are, with few exceptions, characterised by farming and forestry as key functions. Whilst farming has been dominant historically and is still a significant dynamic in most regions, urbanisation is also a vital factor. This involves rural–urban emigration, urban expansion and migration from cities into the countryside (counter-urbanisation). A conceptual framework for the analysis and understanding of change patterns in Eu…
Reinventing Spatial Planning at the Urban Rural Interface
Peri-urban areas are characterized by rapidly changing relationships between rural and urban land uses and activities and present both conceptual and practical policy challenges. Traditional urban containment strategies are being supplemented by a range of alternative spatial strategies and styles of governance. New Zealand has experimented with a performative approach to planning, replacing conventional land use zoning with an effects-based reso…
Identifying Cultural Service Values of a Small River in the Agricultural Landscape of Canterbury, New Zealand, Using Combined Methods
Intensification of agricultural production involving groundwater irrigation is increasingly significant in many countries but can have negative impacts upon the ecosystem cultural services of rural streams and rivers. These are difficult to value, particularly in contested situations. Using a case study in Canterbury, New Zealand, a combination of Q method and a choice experiment is presented as a robust and transparent way to identify important …
Globalisation, contest and paradox in a continuing cultural landscape
Geografisk Tidsskrift—Danish Journal of Geography 109(2):161–179, 2009 A key feature of globalization is the way that local landscapes are progressively opened up to the influence of global markets, consumers and capital. The transformations that result are frequently politically contested, and can profoundly and quickly affect cultural landscapes that have evolved slowly over long periods. The contests over policy direction may draw upon long es…
Tourist Experiences of Landscape in New Zealand
The South Island High Country of New Zealand
These lines by J. K. Baxter capture something of the ambivalent role played by the South Island High Country in the collective psyche, science, and public policy of New Zealand. As Kevin O'Connor, Professor of Range Management, put it in 1993: “Most people in New Zealand would be disconcerted if their mountain skylines to familiar landscapes were removed. Nevertheless, the influence of New Zealand mountains on its national consciousness does not …
Visitor Experiences of Kaikoura, New Zealand
Contextual meanings in policy discourse
Sustainable management and the pastoral ideal
Environmental legislation and administration in New Zealand was radically reformed during the late 1980s. The international debate upon sustainability was an important influence on the process, with the result that sustainable management of natural and physical resources became the overriding goal of new resource management legislation introduced in 1991. However, the detailed text of the legislation is open to a number of possible interpretation…
Naming the rose
The plurality in meaning and use of the word ‘landscape’ in New Zealand is reviewed. Relationships between usage and professional advocacy are examined. Implications for the interpretation of landscape and other similar concepts used in policy formation both in New Zealand and in Europe and North America are discussed
