“…In several cases, ranchers themselves used these terms to emphasize that ranching helped protect natural landscape functions, in response to criticisms raised by the environmental lobby. However, as Cadieux and Taylor (, 19) found, “naturalizing” landscapes in this way can be problematic from a land‐use planning perspective. They argue that when landscapes are seen as natural, “it becomes easier to leave unquestioned the political intents and choices involved in the production of those landscapes.” It underplays the prior and continuing agricultural uses of the land, disenfranchising producers (Cadieux ).…”

“…The cultural landscape lens offers a dynamic view of human‐nature relationships, bridging concepts that are frequently dichotomized, such as nature versus culture, tangible versus intangible, or material versus ideological (Fry ; Schaich et al ; Plieninger et al ). As emphasized in critical landscape studies, landscapes also include the cultural meanings and uses of land, which are continuously reshaped over time (Schaich et al ; Taylor ; Cadieux et al ; Hanson ; Leyshon ).…”

“…Cadieux et al's () work on landscape governance in Ontario's Greater Golden Horseshoe area (see Government of Ontario ) illustrates how a combined framework of landscape studies and political ecology can reveal the different ideals, societal attitudes, and political choices that shape the landscape at the urban‐rural fringe. They show, for example, that romantic ideals of “countryside” and “nature” often clash with the material countryside and contemporary farming practices, masking the complexity of landscape processes and leading to tensions within the planning process.…”

Identifying ranching landscape values in the Calgary, Alberta region: Implications for land‐use planning

In recent years, ranching landscapes in the region of Calgary, Alberta have experienced intensifying land‐use pressures related to urban growth and development. At the same time, Alberta's land‐use policies have introduced voluntary, market‐based incentives to encourage the conservation and stewardship of private land. Given this new emphasis, this study aims to better understand different perspectives of ranching landscapes among residents and landowners in two rural municipalities surrounding Calgary. Drawing on cultural landscapes and political ecology literatures, this paper identifies four broad categories of ranching landscape values that participants felt were important to maintain: lifestyle and community values; ecological values; production values; and economic values and property rights. Participants’ diverse place meanings suggest a need to expand the ways in which landscapes are understood and assessed within local contexts, as a strategy for promoting private land stewardship and for resolving tensions in land‐use planning processes.

“…Recognizing that regions are a central focus of land use planning, Taylor focuses on regional land use planning challenges along with students in academic case study courses, with practitioners engaged in planning and evaluation, as well as with policy makers and the citizen, advisory, and scientific panels she engages in this work. She has, for example, included her students in policy meetings, mentoring them to provide scholarly reports for policy makers-and producing policy reports for scholars (see, for example Cadieux, Taylor, and Bunce 2013;Taylor 2007;Taylor et al 2010). The knowledge feedback circuits set up in this kind of relational research are a significant part of what makes this situated research so effective: in addition to relationships of trust that help boost the salience and credibility of the research process itself, being able to use the research process to track the results of events, interventions, and systemic functions under observation vastly improves the legitimacy of such research processes-a possibility that is amplified when the research is yoked to adaptive management processes (Cash et al 2003).…”

Possible moral ecologies, the function of everyday curation, and the experience of regions

Investigating the political ecologies of everyday engagements with environments-including material as well as policy and ideological interactions-requires consideration of the moral economy at play, as well as the political economy and social ecology. A.V. Chayanov (1966A.V. Chayanov ( /1925), E.P. Thompson (1971), and Jim Scott (1976 have provided useful ways to think about moral economy. They framed moral economy as a way of enacting understandings of just commons, subsistence entitlements, and desirable economic relations based on social struggle. This framing can be particularly useful in combination with political ecology approaches to investigate 'moral ecologies.' These are society-environment assemblages that are often more aspirational than enacted, but toward which considerable effort is expended, and whose moral and ecological dynamics are functionally linked, perhaps as best illustrated in recent attention to agroecology as a powerful mechanism for ensuring rights to food (De Schutter 2011a, 2011b. Given political ecology's focus on power relations, moral ecologies that do not exercise considerable power are often overlooked by political ecologists. However, even if particular understandings may not be highly efficacious in exercising power, they may have considerable influence on relational conceptualizations. This mismatch between habitual inattention to moral ecologies and their potential importance contributes to tensions within contemporary society-environment scholarship between structuralist and poststructuralist modes of engagement. Given the value of both modes, particularly for understanding what Peet and Watts (1993) describe as liberation ecologies (and the regional discourse formations that shape them), I argue that political ecology provides useful frameworks for documenting and analyzing the socio-ecological experience of regions-in terms not only of the functions of society and environment, but also of the performance and curation of knowledge about those functions. Keywords: moral economy, food systems, curation, critical regional studies, land use planning, participatory action research, environmental justice, integrated natural resource management science RésuméEnquêter sur les écologies politiques des interactions quotidiennes avec l'environnement -en incluant aussi bien les interactions matérielles que celles idéologiques et politiques -exige souvent un examen de l'économie morale, ainsi que de l'économie politique et l'écologie sociale, en jeu. A.V. Chayanov (1966A.V. Chayanov ( /1925), E.P. Thompson (1971), et Jim Scott (1976 nous ont fourni des moyens utiles pour penser l'économie morale. Ils ont présenté l'économie morale comme un moyen de promulguer la compréhension de relations économiques bénéfiques et ordinaires, permettant la subsistance, en se basant sur des luttes sociales. Cette définition peut être particulièrement utile lorsqu'elle est combinée avec des approches liées à l'écologie politique pour enquêter sur «les écologies morales». Ces dernières sont des...

“…The protection of a certain landscape does not always have the same position on the political agenda. Building political will is one of the strategies followed by actors that aim to protect landscapes (Cadieux, Taylor, and Bunce 2013). Here, it is not only important to build political will to achieve a breakthrough at a certain moment in time, but it is also relevant that this political will lasts.…”

Rules versus ideas in landscape protection: is a Green Heart attack imminent?

Landscape protection in metropolitan areas is an ongoing activity that lies outside the remit of political office-holders. As political agendas change, the importance of landscape protection on strategic planning agendas may also change. This paper raises the question whether this strategic level of landscape protection ought to rest on rules or ideas, and uses the Dutch Green Heart as a case study. The success of Dutch planning has been attributed to a planning doctrine which has evolved around a principle of spatial organization consisting of an open landscape (a Green Heart) in the middle of a 'rim' city -in this case the Dutch Randstad. After this success had been recognized, policies were developed to formalize the protection of the Green Heart in strategic planning rules. Political controversies ensued, which resulted in the abolition of Green Heart policies at national level. Recently, the province of Zuid-Holland adopted a new structural vision and a byelaw in which there is no role for the Green Heart in development control. This paper analyses this new system of strategic development control and discusses the role of rules as opposed to ideas in landscape protection.
