Kursets målsætning
It is the goal of the course to make the students aware of their personal landscape values as well as to enable them to identify, analyze and compare the meanings of landscape of different stakeholders in order to generate appropriate management solutions for the countryside.
 
Kursusindhold
The perspectives of full time and hobby farmers, foresters, biologists or of people going for a walk might serve as examples of different and often conflicting interests in the countryside. In lectures the students will be introduced to different theoretical models (from semiotics, sociology, anthropology and the like)
suitable for analyzing landscape values. Further values of selected groups of people will be presented, analyzed, discussed and put into a historical perspective.
During the course the students will have to represent different types of values in role plays and to write smaller essays .
The main task of the students will be in groups of 3-4 to produce a paper based on a study of the landscape values in a relevant case using the presented theories, relevant litterature, interviews and the like. This study will be presented in plenum.
The grading will include the individually written essays and the paper.
 
Undervisningsform
Fundamental theoretical understanding of the different meanings of landscape now and in other historical epochs will be presented in lectures and obtained through individual readings. Practical knowledge will be acquired on field trips, through interviews with stakeholders and by visits to relevant institutions and organizations. Personal skills of analysis, interpretation and presentation will be developed through plenary discussions, written assignments and group presentations.
