| The perspectives of full time and hobby farmers, foresters, biologists or visitors to the countryside might serve as examples of different and often conflicting interests in the same areas. In lectures the students will be introduced to different theoretical models (from semiotics, sociology, anthropology etc.) 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 present and discuss different land use values in plenum and to write smaller essays on them. The main task of the students will be, in groups of 3-4, to write a synopsis for an investigation of meanings and nature in relation to a subject chosen by the students. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
