Sensual planning as an alternative solution in landscape transformation
Iwona MARKUSZEWSKA, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poland
The subject of interest of my paper is changes (human and natural) that transform (radically and moderately) landscapes, and peoples’ perception of these changes. In particular, my interest is in social participation in landscape planning and its management, which is based on a fundamental understanding of the role of human involvement in community-participation in the form of sensual planning. In sensual planning the local community is a sensitive litmus test in terms of the needs and expectations of the inhabitants in relation to the changing landscape.
This paper focuses on a conceptual approach to how sensual planning may find its usefulness in the process of landscape planning as well as (re)constructing the meaning of a place as a response to landscape changes. My intention was to explain the role of local community as the main actor in the process of landscape planning, but especially perceptual and intuitional approaches to emotionally attached places. I would like to emphasise the importance of sensual planning as an alternative solution to traditional procedures of planning a landscape, bearing in mind the risks and the opportunities they offer to settled communities.
In this paper I present a theoretical concept of sensual planning supported by empirical experience and analysis of selected case studies.
