  • The human influence on the landscape is the last in the hierarchy of the landscape.
    • We as human beings are the last part of a much bigger story, however we see our position at the top. We need to find our correct place when we are at a decision-making position toward the landscape.
  • Landscape sketches as a basic tool
    • The landscape is one of the most complex matters and has connections to various parts of the society. To make this complex matter understandable for all parts of society is crucial to make it accessible for everybody.

  • caption: The waterdrainage provided by the government is calculated on the water discharge of the street with extra buffer runoff of private property. However people getting more lazy and don't like spending time gardening. So they put big surfaces of pavement in their garden. Result: increase of water runoff to the drainage system.

  • The city center reconstruction project has undergone a change from a large-scale redevelopment and non-participatory plan to a stockholder sharing and market oriented commercial one. These transitional plans reveal a non-participatory approach to the city center reconstruction. For instance, property owners in the area have been ignored during this process. If this trend continues, the chances of implementing the plan in the long run would be limited

Assignment 5 - Your Democratic Change Process

  • You can read more details about this assignment here
  • After documenting and reflecting on your challenges you will continue jointly with one of these challenges and design a democratic change process

Your Democratic Change Process

  • Add the title of your project
  • Yourgroupname 2017 powermap.jpg

    a power map identifying who is affected by the challenge and who is influencing it

  • Yourgroupname 2017 change process (1).jpg

    Look at the various methods and tools available and think how they can be applied creatively. Think about the needs of different stakeholder groups - you may need a methodical mix to address them all. Illustrate graphically how these methods/tools might be applied in a short, medium and long-term perspective.

  • Yourgroupname 2017 scenario.jpg

    a scenario illustrating how these tools can be applied within a short, medium and long term perspective involving the groups you want to address, this should include a process timeline
