constituencies? Can such science contribute in an even handed way to the
'authentic public sphere' of deliberation proposed by Habermas?
Seeking greater relevance for landscape ecology is therefore a challenging
pathway. Current models for enhanced engagement with planning and design tend
to address social and cultural values by creating a subset of social science
knowledge within instrumental landscape models. The insights of deliberative
planning suggest that a more fundamental reorientation may be needed, by which
landscape ecological knowledge becomes a subset of a wider framework of
landscape values, and this raises challenges and opportunities for the science.
Shifting from a focus upon technical knowledge to practical wisdom requires
engagement with social processes as well as biophysical landscape conditions, and
in a deliberative landscape democracy, neither is privileged.
Acknowledgments Observations upon alternative futures planning were drawn from work
undertaken towards a PhD thesis by Mark Hoversten. We appreciate the invitation to submit the
chapter by the Chinese Academy of Science and the insightful comments and suggestions from an
anonymous reviewer. Michelle Collings helped prepare the manuscript.
