“…The Habermasian window of opportunity offered by the mixed-motive perspective is both timely and spatially delineated and guarantees the inclusion of all affected actors under a commitment of rational argumentative deliberation (Carvalho-Ribeiro et al, 2010;Durand & Vázquez, 2011;Kleinschmit et al, 2009;Ojha et al, 2009;Parkins & Davidson, 2008;Warren, 2007). However, conflict and negotiation should be acknowledged as indispensable constituents of a mixed-motive deliberation process.…”

“…In order to avoid biased responses experts should also fulfil the condition of having neither present nor past political or administrative responsibility in the municipalities investigated, as well as not having any contamination and obvious personal relationship, we decided to guide the partecipatory procesess as experts and moderators (Loupa Ramos, 2010;Bijlsma et al, 2011). Experts organized the two meetings, introduced the theme of scenarios by defining them as "viable futures" for the rural area studied and developed the possible landscape scenarios (Carvalho-Ribeiro et al, 2010;Gerdien Prins et al, 2011). Both meetings pursued the scheme of moderator explanation followed by question posed to participants for discussion detailed below (Table 1) ii.…”

The future of rural landscapes in Europe is a subject of considerable debate between policy makers and researchers. This paper aims to analyse public awareness of social, economic, and political forces affecting future rural landscapes in an effort to support local planning policies implementing the European Landscape Convention in a rural landscape (Piedmont, Italy). Public consultation with two focus groups (Institutional Stakeholders and Civil Society Stakeholders) was set up to reveal personal perceptions. In a first part the main driving forces affecting local landscape transformations were identified and their likely effects were discussed with the participants.Participants' preferences regarding three alternative future scenarios were analysed in a second part.Results confirmed the complexity of a shared decision-making process in planning rural landscapes.Not only did the two groups differ in expectation, perception, and attitude, but also in their interpretation of the landscape scenarios.

“…Recently, the concept of agroecology has been broadened to more fully integrate social, cultural and geographical dimensions, to stress the multifunctional role of farming, and to provide a baseline for farm design [37]. Concepts of modern forestry, increasingly focusing on the multifunctional values of forest, are close to the idea of the fourth regime [38][39][40]. Permaculture [41], Agroforestry [42], Urban Agriculture [43], Community Gardens [44], Vertical Farming [45], and others are all specific models as alternatives and complements to the mainstream agricultural models and their emphasis on specialisation, scaling, independence from fossil fuels and from global markets.…”

Abstract:This article reinterprets open space as the theatre of adaptive regimes in the interfering wakes of two major waves of transformation: the agricultural and the urban transformation. The aim of the wave regime concept is to accommodate traditional and emerging land uses in a logical scheme of co-existing regimes separated by transition waves in space and time. Each wave corresponds to a transitional stage from one set to another set of value regime, which by the agents of the transformation is interpreted as a major value increase. The current struggle for space and the difficult interpretations of quality and sustainability can be explained as expressions of competition between value regimes. These value regimes tend to be driven and perpetuated by customary paradigms of land-use planning and management (urban planning, ecology, agronomy, etc.). Land-use sectors ask for rather unambiguous definitions and clear use rights of land use categories and zoning, leaving limited possibility for interaction, mixed regimes and innovative multifunctional land-use. New service demands, new sustainability and resilience urgencies challenge these customary land-use planning paradigms and their rules and instruments. This paper acknowledges a third wave and consequent fourth regime. This regime seeks overall increased sustainability and resilience in open spaces, stressing the strategic importance of unsealed soils and other life conditioning substrates. Different existing land-use models, such as "transition towns", "agroforestry" and many more, can be interpreted as fourth regime examples, but altogether there is a need for more coordination or integration to turn the third wave concept into a real "wave". A specific target is to scan territories for characteristics and values according to the prevailing regimes, and assess each unit in terms of third wave transition opportunities, even within active uses that may be at odds with customary rules and expectations. This is illustrated for cases of illegal intake of farmland for non-agricultural activities and for domestic gardens as a missing category in customary rural and land use policy.
