Landscape, Law and Justice
Project at the Centre for Advanced Study at the
Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters, Oslo 2002-2003. The
project is lead by Professor Michael Jones, Department of Geography,
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim.
The
invited foreign and Norwegian researchers will come together to discuss
philosophical and theoretical issues concerning justice, law and equity
with regard to landscape. The term landscape incorporates a number of
differing but overlapping ways in which the complex relationships between
human societies and their physical surroundings are conceptualized.
The particular focus in this project is the role of law and custom for
the allocation, management and use of common resources. The project
is organized in three sub-themes:
1. Historical concepts of
landscape as an expression of law, justice and cultural practice relating
to the community regulation of land and other common resources (cf.
the medieval Nordic landskapslover).
2. Continuity and change
in the landscape as a physical and cultural manifestation of human activity
and institutions, focusing in the role of legislation and customary
law, in a historical and geographical perspective.
3. Legal implications and
landscape impacts of environmental policies for the management of amenity
resources and perceived common values in the landscape.
