Methods for cultural environment analysis
Abstract
Questions concerning the Cultural Heritage must be integrated in social planning.
Therefore there is a need for adequate methods for cultural environmental analysis, to
receive knowledge that is relevant in an integrated conservation. The thesis is a review of
methods for cultural environmental analysis and discusses the qualifications necessary for
a method in order to receive adequate information as well as it discusses what kind of
information to be considered relevant. The thesis also analyzes a specific method for
cultural environmental analysis in order to exam if it has got the qualifications concluded
as necessary if it is to be used in an integrated conservation. The conclusion is that a
method for cultural environmental analysis should collect information about the entire
environment (integrated information about nature and culture, in a historical perspective
and how it is today), about social structures, physical remains (buildings etc) and what the
collected information tell about the history of the studied area, as well as what is important
in the landscape of today. Information about how the environment should be treated in the
future is also of importance. To receive adequate information it is necessary that the
method can analyze the visual aspects of the contemporary landscape as well as the
environment as a whole (nature and culture), that it can put focus on certain aspects of
the environment (due to specific needs of knowledge), that the method is flexible in scale
(detailed etc) as well as in what kind of environments it can be used. It must also make
possible that the information collected is connected to possible changes in the future. The
conclusion about the specific method analyzed in the thesis is that it fulfills the
requirements that are considered to be of importance in an integrated conservation.
