Inbjudan till online-konferens Sustainable Management of Cultural Landscapes: SUMCULA book

The strategic partnership on Sustainable Management of Cultural Landscapes includes 13 partners from 10 countries. The project has a number of outputs as a result of productive cooperation of higher education institutions in the field of cultural landscapes and heritage studies. The Department of Conservation is the project leader.

Cultural landscapes can be understood in many perspectives and what they share is the material and intangible consequences of humanity’s interaction with the landscape in a broad variety of different areas and contents. The issues motivating this strategic partnership build on the experiences and competencies of the partners and rest in a number of issues such as:

• how to organise stakeholders into a sustainable governance structures;
• how to identify, describe and interpret material and intangible properties of the landscape;
• how to develop strategies for valuation, preservation, development; and
• how to develop sustainable local economies out of identified qualities of the landscape.

The objective of this partnership is through a number of case studies approach these issues as inroads to development of courses and didactic resources to be used on master’s level.
