Landscape Democracy Rationale

• This community context is relevant from a landscape democracy perspective because it is situated in a developed nation which is governed by democratic system and preserve the right of freedom of speech.It is also a basic social unit where there are many common aspects or attributes that makes it easier and effective context to have analysis on the landscape democracy.We can find out information about a particular space,their thoughts and needs about specific things and based on which we know how to mange green and urban areas.
• Our hypothesis is that from the challenge we have derived that the community of Freising is to a large extent familiar with the challenges they are facing and quite successful in stopping the things they don't support (e.g.the third runway of the airport).Community members are more concerned about the climate changes issues and have a futuristic vision.

  Stories of the community

Summary of our learnings from the transnational discussion panel on April 22

• Different approaches about storytelling
• Some groups had a smaller scale focus areas but more detailed analysis.
• We loved the presentation styles from the other groups and we got inspired with new ideas.
• Other value schemes: any surprises?
• We had a lot of information so the comment was to highlight the most important points.

Theory reflection

• From The Right to The Landscape- we have encounter the idea of landscape having different meaning to different person. It is not only a goal or movement but it is also a context of combining socio-cultural and natural aspects with the spiritual prerequisite of individual and resulting into the both physical and spiritual welfare of them. It is formed by negotiating and influencing the public’s need and it is a combination of work of nature and man.
• From The Just City Essays- this material reflected that there is no boundary between people,and between landscapes.We should works as a whole with few philosophies such as equity, choice, access, innovation, ownership, etc. it makes us aware of that everyone’s decision is important as well as the democratic parties and we should not have any border or discrimination while designing as the place belong to the individual living there. So every voice should be count to make something livable.
• From the Storytelling, a model of and a model for planning- we have come across the process of how stories grow together and nurture the landscape planning and development. It shows how the old one follows the present and then the future like a chain of cycle and it is a process of time and hardship with commitment of previous stories. It reflected how a landscape can develop keeping the past essence and thinking of the future along with the needs of the present.

Phase B: Democratic Landscape Analysis and Assessment

The Scene in your Story of Analysis

• We already know that the third airport runway project was faced with a public outrage. Community members, activists, artists brought hands together, voted and protested all against this project so our main challenge is to reduce the shearing and the ever expanding gap between politicians and the locals."
• The second main challenge is to integrate immigrants, students and refugees with the local community through a participative initiative so as to know all community members aspirations and try to respond back and improve the landscape."
• Sharing values and taking advantage of community members’ skills and talents.Make the community more sensitive and aware about landscape issues."
• The physical scenes are the Marienplatz square, the Beer Garden, the weihenstephen university & the urban foodscapes."
