In January 2019, almost a year before COVID-19 entered popular parlance, I wrote my first editorial for Landscape Research as the incoming Editor-in-Chief. I anchored that editorial to the theme of “change” and declared that changes were both “inevitable and necessary” (Waterton et al., 2022, p. 2) for a journal such as this, particularly given the length of time Landscape Research has been in operation. Within the year, the changes I had been referring to had been vastly overshadowed by the far bigger challenges of the pandemic, which quickly and inevitably affected almost every aspect of the journal’s operations. Everyone connected with the journal— authors, reviewers, the editorial team, and our colleagues at Taylor and Francis—had to adjust their established working practices in response to the converging pressures of health, home, and work. At the same time, many of us found ourselves simultaneously dealing with significant and rapid changes to the earth’s climate and the politics that surround it. My own experiences of such crises were largely delivered via Australia’s climate emergencies where, as Tony Birch (2020, p. 27) writes, we were living in a “storm of our own making”: fighting the development of new mines, grappling with soil exhaustion, gaping at drying rivers, hurtling from fires to floods, and witnessing the disappearance of at least three species—a bat, a rodent, and a skink (Muir, Wehner, & Newell, 2020). In the summer of 2019/2020, my family was forced to evacuate our fire-encircled home as unprecedented bushfires devoured more than 60% of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area to the west of Sydney. Three months later we found ourselves surrounding that same home with sandbags as nearly 400mm of rain fell on us in a single weekend. In retrospect, these were not the best circumstances in which to take on the role and responsibilities of Editor-in-Chief for Landscape Research! And the world continued to change. To borrow from Nick Mansfield, decisions we had already made kept arising “out of our past” and coming “at us from the future” (cited in Rose, 2013, p. 213). Unsurprisingly, the editorial work involved in steering a journal as large, prominent, and established as Landscape Research never got any easier. In fact, it became rather more complex with the acceleration of each new crisis. The last four years have thus at times felt very long and yet they have also passed in a flash. This is my fifth and final editorial as Editor-in-Chief; change, after all, is inevitable and necessary. As I look back over my tenure and inspect it for its failures and successes, it is probably fair to say that there is a lingering feeling of discontent. My time as Editor-in-Chief has unfolded in ways that look radically different to the plans I had started to formulate in 2019. Yet, overall, I shall remember it as being a largely rewarding experience. This is because although many crises punctuated my time at the helm of Landscape Rese
2019年1月,在COVID-19成为流行说法的近一年前,我作为即将上任的总编辑为《景观研究》撰写了第一篇社论。我将这篇社论固定在“变化”的主题上,并宣布对于这样的期刊来说,变化既是“不可避免的,也是必要的”(Waterton et al., 2022,第2页),特别是考虑到景观研究已经运作了很长时间。在那一年里,我提到的变化被疫情带来的更大挑战大大掩盖了,疫情迅速且不可避免地影响了《华尔街日报》业务的几乎所有方面。与期刊有关的每一个人——作者、审稿人、编辑团队,以及我们在泰勒和弗朗西斯的同事——都必须调整他们既定的工作方式,以应对健康、家庭和工作的压力。与此同时,我们中的许多人发现自己同时在应对地球气候和与之相关的政治的重大而迅速的变化。我自己对这种危机的经历主要是通过澳大利亚的气候紧急情况来表达的,正如托尼·伯奇(2020年,第27页)所写的那样,我们生活在一场“我们自己制造的风暴”中:与新矿山的开发作斗争,与土壤枯竭作斗争,面对干涸的河流,从火灾到洪水中狂奔,目睹了至少三个物种的消失——蝙蝠、啮齿动物和小蜥蜴(Muir, Wehner, & Newell, 2020)。在2019/2020年的夏天,我的家人被迫撤离了我们被大火包围的家园,因为前所未有的森林大火吞噬了悉尼西部大蓝山世界遗产区60%以上的地区。三个月后,我们发现自己在同一个房子周围堆满了沙袋,一个周末就下了近400毫米的雨。回想起来,这些都不是承担《景观研究》总编辑角色和责任的最佳环境!世界在不断变化。借用尼克·曼斯菲尔德(Nick Mansfield)的话,我们已经做出的决定不断“从过去”产生,并“从未来”向我们袭来(Rose, 2013, p. 213)。不出所料,像《景观研究》这样规模庞大、声名显赫、声名卓著的期刊的编辑工作从未如此轻松过。事实上,随着每一次新危机的加速,它变得更加复杂。因此,过去的四年有时感觉很长,但它们也在一瞬间过去了。这是我作为总编辑的第五篇也是最后一篇社论;毕竟,改变是不可避免的,也是必要的。当我回顾我的任期,审视它的失败和成功时,公平地说,一种不满的情绪挥之不去。我担任主编的这段时间,与我在2019年开始制定的计划截然不同。然而,总的来说,我记得这是一次很大程度上有益的经历。这是因为,尽管我在《景观研究》的掌舵期间经历了许多危机,但这些同样的破裂也给了我机会,让我通过“关怀”的视角重新思考我们的一些编辑实践。我与景观研究小组的受托人密切合作,开始了这一重新思考,并在两篇社论(Vicenzotti & Waterton, 2021;Waterton et al., 2022)。最终,我们的目标是反击

Abstract Landscapes of memorialisation are, simultaneously, sites of remembering and forgetting. As sites of remembering, memorial landscapes are instructive. Their artefacts of commemoration do not simply recall events and/or people, they extol specific values and lessons that members of their given society are silently urged to aspire to and emulate. However, such landscapes are strategically curated presenting a historical narrative that reflects and supports the dominant socio-political paradigm. Those voices that do not reflect this paradigm are silenced, symbolically excluded and hence forgotten. However, the processes of silencing and forgetting are never absolute. Alternative voices contest dominant memorialisation practices, jostling to be heard in wider societal discourse. The papers in this special issue reflect upon these struggles. Drawing on case studies from across the globe the authors of each paper trace the complexity of and contestation over landscapes of memorialisation. In doing so, this special issue contributes to the multidisciplinary understandings of remembering and forgetting in and through the landscape.

Abstract In landscape architecture, stewardship has become synonymous with a positive approach to managing and designing environments, which lacks historical and geographical context. While the practice has the possibility to increase human involvement in habitats and cultivate ecological relations, historically it suffers the socio-ecological separation of the human (subject) and non-human (object). Additionally, the majority of practice sits comfortably within private development, and reproduces inequalities rather than challenging them. This article traces an institutionalised European-centred notion of stewardship by focussing on three episodes from British woodlands: 8th century pre-enclosure woodlands and the original steward of pigs, 16th century park and forest enclosures and the steward of deer and 17th century national estates and the steward of oaks. In light of these findings, landscape architecture’s uncritical reliance on stewardship as an ethical stance, needs to be revised to better account for environmental and social justice within more-than-human relations.

Abstract To fully appreciate the breadth of what ‘landscape’ means in different contexts requires a continual examination of how alternative approaches to landscape teaching, research and policy are integrated. To better understand such diversity asks us – as landscape professionals – to challenge our disciplinary, geographical, and political views and engage with new ideas, theories, and techniques. This includes reflections on biodiversity, climate change, heritage, and design in considerations of how we teach future landscape professionals to think about these issues in a holistic way. This special issue of Landscape Research addresses these thematic areas via a series of papers developed following the Newton Fund supported ‘Rethinking the Green City’ workshop held in Brasilia in 2019. Each paper questions about how we locate ‘green’ ideas in praxis to promote more sustainable forms of planning and asks us to think about the choices we make when discussing socio-cultural, economic, and environmental aspects of landscape.

Abstract In the context of rapid and unplanned urbanisation in many Sub-Saharan African cities, the social and political context of urban and peri-urban vegetable production is becoming unfriendly despite its multifunctionality in achieving human development. This paper aims at measuring the effects of urbanisation on urban residents’ perception of vegetable production in urban and peri-urban areas of Yaoundé, Cameroon. Data from a survey conducted by the World Vegetable Centre among urban residents living within and around vegetable production areas was employed for the study. The results show that urban residents agree with vegetable production in their vicinity, but depending on the extent of urbanisation, the magnitude of their positive perception varies significantly from one production area to another. More specifically, while proximity to the city centre increases the likelihood of urban residents’ ability to agree with local vegetable production, the density of the population decreases this positive perception instead.

Abstract West Virginia, sitting fully in the eastern US region of Appalachia, has a long history of resource extraction, including salt, timber, coal and oil. In the late 2000s, gas became another popular resource, obtained through hydraulic fracturing. The once-hilly landscape has been flattened, valleys have been filled, and caves have been dug all because of extraction. In this photo essay we document the latest manifestation of landscape change that local communities have experienced: pipeline development. Pipelines have been put in place across the state, given ever-improving hydraulic fracturing technology and subsequent national and international consumption that requires transportation. This photo essay shows the landscape changes that West Virginia has undergone through the eyes and words of residents. We present data gathered through 33 interviews and visual methods that illustrate the destruction of scenery and memories through erosion, as well as everyday challenges to property access during construction.

Abstract In this article, I introduce rooftop urbanism as a landscape between earth and sky. The concept of landscape provides a framework within which rooftop urbanism can be studied as a multi-sensuous, bodily lived relation with rooftop sites at various heights in the urban fabric. Through encounters with the materialities of the roof and the rooftoppers of the former Pioneer Health Centre in Peckham, London, I craft a rhizomatic research story. I discuss the moving landscape experienced by inhabiting a rooftop above ground level and under the sky, and how the mobile landscape can be an affective means of sense-making, connecting rooftoppers beyond the rooftop. Given that changing landscapes cannot be reconstructed, I evoke impressions using images and words, which can then be read as expressions for further thought.

Abstract As new heritage categories have emerged, the process of identifying heritage value has become more complex, necessitating new tools to enable professionals to identify all attributes and values that determine the uniqueness of an asset before embarking upon its management and conservation. Burle Marx’s Copacabana promenade in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, is representative of a modernist landscape design, and therefore, a cultural heritage asset. This article proposes a mixed methodology for identifying the heritage attributes and values of this modernist landscape through document analysis, site observations and surveys. This information is essential for the long-term conservation of the Copacabana promenade. Historical, aesthetic, technological and environmental values are represented in attributes that include the design itself, the calceteira technique and the selected tree species. The values and attributes of these assets inform the conservation strategies that are designed to end their abandonment and deterioration.

Abstract Infrastructure constitutes a key perspective for the analysis of social change. At the same time, infrastructures exemplify the tension between dynamism and permanence. While they facilitate the constant movement of resource and capital flows, they are also characterised by a visible obduracy that makes them impervious to change. This special issue examines how ideas of change and permanence have been explored in infrastructure studies. It focuses, especially, on the alternatives generated from a landscape perspective. Infrastructure landscape perspectives foreground the complex socio-technical and socio-ecological relations that situate infrastructures in specific conditions and locales. Infrastructure landscape perspectives enable analysis beyond utilitarian perspectives on infrastructure, revealing the range of emotional and cultural attachments that shape them.

Abstract Political and academic discourses generally argue that it is possible for all land to be viewed as landscape. Research into social discourse about the landscape, however, reveals that only certain parts of the land possess the characteristics required for its inhabitants to consider it as landscape, as this study shows by analysing several interviews and focus group discussions conducted in two provinces in the south of Spain (Granada and Almería) to understand how people perceive and experience landscapes. This perspective can be very detrimental regarding conservation actions: if the landscape value is not recognised, there is no reason to conserve it. The repercussions for landscape management and protection policies in this regard can be far-reaching. It is not sufficient to merely assert that all land is landscape; rather, society must recognise it as such if the landscape is to be both valued and cared for.
