Abstract
The project "From Fragmented to Integrated Landscape Management. Values of Green Cultural Heritage and implications for future policies and practices" (FRAGLA) started in January 2015 and is finishing by the end of October 2018. The project is led by Professor Annegreth Dietze-Schirdewahn from School of Landscape Architecture, Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU). The other two partners are Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (NIKU) and Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research (NIBR). FRAGLA addresses the issue of fragmented management of cultural landscape, caused by changing land use and ownership, diverse values and interests held by various sectors and protected by individual Acts and legal instruments. This fragmentation negatively affects landscape management and leads to the tension in the local planning system. The project developed new knowledge that can be incorporated into management policy and practice, and can facilitate integration of values and uses of cultural landscape within the local planning and development process. The research is based on the case study of Austrått, a manorial landscape in Ørland peninsular that has particular natural, cultural, historical and military significances. Four issues are highlighted in the research: understanding the "biography" of a landscape; involving local people´s view on value recognition; recognizing values of "Green Cultural Heritage" (i.e. cultural landscapes with heritage values, which is a roof to foster consensus building and integrated management plan) and deliver them into local and regional development plans; planning in an integrated way. The research has directly benefited to the policy and practice of Austrått and Ørland development by providing new knowledge and working strategy for an integrated management plan. Research findings are transferrable to other localities and regions with similar challenges. By the end of the project period, Austrått Landscape has become a role model for the EU project "Rural regeneration through systematic heritage-led strategies" (2018-2022).
