Theory regarding nature conservation and culture conservation Sample Clauses

Theory regarding nature conservation and culture conservation. According to Xxxxxx (2008) one limitation of science is that the ones controlling the process decide who is allowed to participate in the discussion and who is not. Another limitation is that other values, for instance aesthetics and culture are most likely excluded which is also mentioned by Schön (1991). Schön (1991) says we are trained to fit our worlds to science and technology, or as the author explained it, to Technical Rationality. Science and technology can only work if there are problems to solve in analytical or empirical ways. The problems have to be fixed and with clear ends, if not, there is nothing to solve. Technical Rationality provides us with specific answers which are limited by rigor or relevance. Experiments are repeated and data is presented. The disadvantages are that Technical Rationality cannot handle complexity and there is no space for discussion or reflection. We believe nature conservation is one illustration of Technical Rationality. Xxxxxx (2001) explains there is a close relation between the discourses of nature conservation and culture conservation in the Swedish landscape and there are difficulties to agree upon criteria for what is worth to preserve or to agree upon what is of national interest. The relation between them is problematic and one reason to the tensions is that both discourses gradually have enlarged their mandates and because of that there are more obvious contacts between the two in the landscape. They both have roots in the early 1800s and both are and have been closely connected to the state and the law-making and represent a scientific expertise. Despite their relations they have developed parallel and with no deeper contacts during the 1990s. Both discourses believe that there has been an earlier 'original' landscape, even though the interpretations differ, and have focus on protection and maintenance. There is an administrative division of the landscape with a regionalization of the responsibility. Nature conservation and culture conservation are coordinated on county and municipality level but that has however not unified the two discourses and at the same time the two discourses are not enough to describe reality. The theories mentioned above also relates to Xxxxxxxxx (2008: 32) who describes the modern nature conservation discourse and its four main characteristics
