タイトル:
" Repatterning cultural landscapes as transformative, post-growth rurban commons: building theory and strategy"

概要:
The urban-rural landscapes we see today are the product of powerful forces for ordering and patterning nature and society: expansionism, profit maximization, knowledge privatization, accumulation by dispossession. These forces drive the decline of ecological health and exploitation of rural communities. Farmers and rural stakeholders have long followed strategies of resistance to these forces by broadening (tourism, nature management for subsidies, etc.), deepening (organic, branding, consumer direct, etc.), and regrounding (off-farm income, etc.) their operations to capture value and maintain production. Actors in cultural landscapes such as satoyama and GIAHS employ similar strategies to keep these long-standing sites and the years of valuable heritage therein viable. But the continued decline of small & family farms, the lack of economic opportunity in rural areas, and the exodus to the cities prompts a strategic rethink. Coinciding with the urban-rural question is the emerging realization that a just, safe and sustainable planet must thread the needle with an economy that shrinks its impact within planetary boundaries but also provides sufficient resources and services for a decent life. This implies the need for transformation, not just maintenance: a shift to post-growth, decentralized economic activities and an alternative patterning of rural and urban space. If our landscapes have been patterned by the rules of efficiency, expansion, and ceaseless growth, the alternative are “rurban commons” that re-localize and weave together nature and human settlements in space and metabolic interaction. The economic arrangements, institutional forms, and governance of regional resources in rurban commons aim to prioritize the autonomous reproduction of sustainable biocultural regions, as opposed to the continued overdependence on far-flung resources from “somewhere.” This presentation will introduce the debate on rural sustainable development and thoughts on how to devise alternative strategies to not only maintain biocultural legacies, but to disrupt and transform socio-ecological and economic spatial patterns along the lines of rurban commons.
