How
do Mitchell et al. suggest that place attachments can influence
public land management? Do you think their typology of visitors
is a useful one? What are its strengths and weaknesses?
McNaughten and
Urry argue that "there is no singular nature as such,
only a diversity of contested natures." First, what do
the authors mean by "contested natures?" Second,
do you agree or disagree with this argument? Be sure to substantiate
your opinion with evidence.
You should focus
your attention and efforts into these two larger questions
above. However, as a "mini-question," consider the
three types of gardens Grampp puts forward in his essay, "Social
Meanings of Residential Gardens." Based on your experience
or of those people you know, are there any other garden types
that you propose?
***NOTE: You do
not need to be a landscape architect to answer this! Just
reflect on your own use of yards and gardens and on observations
of your family, neighbors, friends, etc., and speculate.***
