Experience-based sectors are increasingly used to transform rural communities into attractive places to live, work, and visit. However, such experience-based transformations (EBT) can bring sustainability challenges. The fields of sustainability and innovation have merged and developed into three paradigms to innovation for sustainability (IFS): skeptic, pragmatic, and idealistic. This chapter explores and develops the idealistic paradigm by using the ecological economy (EE) and community-based sustainability (CBS) approaches. Narratives from two cultural world heritage destinations in Norway are used to illustrate potentials and challenges of using the idealistic paradigm in EBT. The comparison of EE and CBS shows some overlaps but also differences, hence possible complementarity. Holistic sustainability and broad partnerships are central, but also ambitious, complex, and still rare, calling upon methods for involvement and conflict solving. Further research exploring these and other approaches and empirical research are needed to further concretize the idealistic paradigm.
Opplevelse er relatert til øyeblikkets hendelse, men vil være farget av tidligere erfaringer, kunnskap og sosial deltakelse i kulturelle fellesskap. Omgivelsene hvor hendelsene foregår blir en integrert del av opplevelsen, og oppfatningen av omgivelsene vil derfor være dynamisk. Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i spørsmålet om hvilken betydning utendørs lek i barndommen har for stedstilhørighet og opplevelser i nåtid. Empirien er fra 120 historier skrevet av 15-åringer fra tre regioner i Norge. Leken er sentral i historiene, og minnene om barndomsomgivelsene er i stor grad positive og knyttet til verdier som forlystelse, trygghet, mangfold og frihet. Ungdomstiden viser et mer anstrengt forhold til hjemplassen, blant annet fordi ungdommene forbinder lek med barndom, og mulighetsrommet er redusert. Overordnet kan det knyttes til oppfatningen av hva lek er, rom for lek, og at det lekende menneske legger bånd på seg selv. Minnene og verdiene relatert til lekdriften er ikke synlig, men gjør at en oppfatter landskapet og omgivelsene med nye øyne.
This paper stems from cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaboration between community music and human geography which sought to interrogate and understand claims of social sustainability and social change often cited in evaluation reports of community music projects. The lead authors (Parks and Cassidy) took this dialogue forward by organising a geography conference session which incorporated an instant choir workshop to test how we might ‘do’ social sustainability through practice. Drawing upon ideas from both disciplines, the paper synthesises the reflections of nine participants in the session to explore the capacity of creative, embodied, geographical practice to transform hegemonic experiences of academic conferences, and to create a sustainable and inclusive community of practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
