Reproducing biocultural heritage landscapes through alternative and retro-innovative food production
Get PDFLandscapes rich in biocultural heritage are declining en masse across Europe. This is due to the effects of countryside depopulation and to large-scale, industrial agriculture. Landscape heritage and its associated biodiversity largely depend on pre-industrial agrarian management. Because authoritative conservation cares only for minor, more spectacular, landscape segments, other forms of everyday management of the more mundane biocultural heritage are needed. Herein, innovative, alternative food producers (i.e. environmentally and animal-friendly farmers) are investigated as potential stewards of biocultural heritage. The results show that alternative food producers contribute to new ways of reproducing the biocultural heritage, albeit with greater emphasis on its ‘green’ side (e.g. biodiversity) than that of cultural heritage. They also face numerous challenges that threaten their businesses.publishedVersio
Inngrepsfrie arkeologiske registreringsmetoder i «Arkeologi på nye veier» E39 Sørvest – Del 2; Røyskår- Løland
No full textForeliggende rapporten er del 2 av «Arkeologi på nye veier» prosjekt E-39 sørvest og beskriver NIKUs georadarresultater fra strekningen Røyskår Løland, undersøkt i 2021 og 2022. Arbeidene er gjennomført i tett samarbeid med Nye Veier, Agder fylkeskommune, KHM, NMM Riksantikvaren og Multiconsult. Det ble bygget på erfaringer fra feltsesongen 2020, og brukte den tidligere etablerte arbeidsprosessen fra grunnerverv, planlegging av feltarbeid, datainnsamling, datadeling med fylkesarkeologene og oppdragsgiveren, samt formidling av resultatene. Det var en stor fordel at vi ved bruk av snøbelter kunne gjennomføre våre undersøkelser tidlig på året, slik at vi kunne dele resultater i god tid med de andre prosjektdeltagerne. På den måten kunne videre tiltak baseres på allerede innsamlede resultater.publishedVersio
Dissecting authorised participation in cultural heritage
Get PDFParticipatory processes are a democratic tool in the field of cultural heritage, but what happens when the whole process revolves around a set of expert premises? How symbolic and authoritative would such participation be? This article will reflect on the dynamics of citizen participation and the power of institutional narratives focused on urban cultural heritage. Thus, this work proposes a methodological review and discussion through a case study where citizen participation is addressed as a process within the service of citizens: the refurbishment and design of new spaces within La Model prison complex in Barcelona. The aim is to explore whether institutionalised participation continues to be a symbolic tool that supports the authorised heritage discourses or if, conversely, it is enabling the embodiment of the multivocality of the stakeholders involved in the heritage management process in an effective way. This study concludes with a discussion that invites cultural heritage researchers to reflect on the difficulties involved in organising less-authorised proposals in the field of cultural heritage management.publishedVersio
Digitalisering av tapetsamlingen. Prosjektbeskrivelse og budsjett. Oppdatert versjon 2023
Get PDFNorsk institutt for kulturminneforskning (NIKU) har en stor samling av eldre tapetfragmenter, som er samlet inn i forbindelse med Riksantikvarens og NIKUs farge- og bygningsundersøkelser gjennom over 40 år. Grovt anslått omfatter tapetsamlingen rundt 9000 tapeter, som skriver seg fra bygningsinteriører med et stort tidsspenn. Tapetfragmentene er lagret i NIKUs kjellerlokaler i Storgata 2 i Oslo. Samlingen representerer et unikt og omfattende kulturhistorisk kildemateriale, både i nasjonal og internasjonal målestokk, som vi ønsker å bevare og tilgjengeliggjøre. Vi ønsker å sortere, fotografere, registrere digitalt og tolke samtlige tapetfragmenter. Deretter ønsker vi å avlevere det digitale registeret, fotodokumentasjonen og den fysiske tapetsamlingen til en egnet mottakerinstitusjon, som kan innlemme registeret i sitt eget digitale arkivsystem og magasinere tapetsamlingen. Målet er at tapetsamlingen skal bli tilgjengelig for forskning og praktisk bruk, og at den skal bli søkbar gjennom Digitalt museum.The Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (NIKU) has a large collection of old wallpaper fragments, which have been collected in connection with the color and building surveys carried out by The Norwegian Directorate of Cultural Heritage (Riksantikvaren) and NIKU during the last 40 years. Roughly estimated, the wallpaper collection includes around 9,000 wallpapers, which covers a large part of interior design history. The wallpaper fragments are stored in NIKU's basement premises at Storgata 2 in Oslo. The collection represents a unique and extensive cultural historical source material, both on a national and international scale, which we want to preserve and make available. We want to sort, photograph, record digitally and interpret all wallpaper fragments. We then wish to hand over the digital register, the photo documentation and the physical wallpaper collection to a suitable institution, which can incorporate the register into its own digital archive system and store the wallpaper collection. The goal is for the wallpaper collection to become available for research and practical use, and for it to become searchable through the webpage Digital Museum.publishedVersio
Short Overview on International Historic Climate Adaptation of Built Heritage to Natural Hazards: lessons for Norway
Get PDFThis paper aims to highlight the relevance of ancient international adaptation measures of built heritage and how can they be relevant and applied to Norway. Specifically, it will focus on historic measures applied to mitigate extreme hazards (fire and floods) and slow degradation (decay) of built heritage. For this, we used the scientific database Google Scholar (GS) and 20 papers and reports were deemed relevant for our analysis. There is a limited body of literature (in English) addressing decay and fire, but a richer one referring to floods. The analysis highlights the fact that there is a gap between theory and practice within contemporary adaptation measures (which is also highlighted by previous studies). It was also shown that historic climate adaptation measures are passed on through generations and traditions, rather than scientific research, a finding also supported by UNESCO.publishedVersio
Consequences of COVID-19 on the Reindeer Husbandry in Norway: a Pilot Study Among Management Staff and Herders
Get PDFThe outbreak of COVID-19 has had an enormous impact on most of society. The most effective measure to prevent the spread has been reducing mobility, which is especially problematic for pastoralists relying on mobility to follow the movement of their livestock. We investigated to what degree Norwegian reindeer husbandry and the reindeer husbandry management system are affected by COVID-19 and government restrictions to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. For reindeer herders, our main finding was that the COVID-19 had little to no impact on their daily work. However, impacts varied by domain, with work in corrals, income, and slaughter being negatively affected. For employees in the management system, communication/contact with herders and visits/control of corrals/slaughter have been negatively affected. Employees in the management system were satisfied with how information concerning COVID-19 and prevention measures have been communicated by the central government, while the herders were mainly dissatisfied.publishedVersio
A glimpse into the northernmost thermo-erosion gullies in Svalbard archipelago and their implications for Arctic cultural heritage
Get PDFGully erosion is one of the most destructive geomorphological processes on relatively flat surfaces. This is exacerbated in the Arctic regions, where gullies are referred to as thermo-erosion gullies because of their unique connection to permafrost. As the surface of the permafrost freezes and thaws, soil particles destabilize, inducing erosion along preferential incisions, giving rise to widespread thermo-erosion gullies. In this study, we present the first thermo-erosion gully inventory in the Svalbard region (Nordenskiöld Land). The inventory was created using a combination of available aerial photographs from 2009 to 2011, direct field observations and measurements. The spatial distribution of thermo-erosion gullies is then exploited to investigate potential threats to the Arctic cultural heritage (CH). Analyses of thermo-erosion gullies are increasingly important for artic administrations, which require more detailed hazard assessments as the effect of climate change becomes increasingly evident across these landscapes. The inventory is comprised of 810 thermo-erosion gullies in Nordenskiöld Land, most of which are located in close proximity to coastlines. We assess the inventory size statistics and correlation with terrain characteristics to investigate potential predisposing factors. No gullies occurs at elevations greater than 200 m a.s.l., but gullies occur up to a maximum steepness of 37 degrees and along the whole topographic profile and, looking at the potential threat to CH, we found 44 of these sites within a 100 m buffer from the gullies. This distance is the reference that local administrations use to prioritize actions and safeguard the existence of artic CH sites. In fact, a 100 m distance implies that future evolution of thermo-erosion gullies, especially enhanced by climate change may eventually erode away soil from the CH surroundings, threatening their stability and existence.publishedVersio
Kulturhistorisk stedsanalyse Eggedal sentrum
No full textDen kulturhistoriske stedsanalysen av Eggedal sentrum er gjort med utgangspunkt i Riksantikvarens DIVE-metode med formål å synliggjøre Eggedals kulturhistoriske kvaliteter og karaktertrekk og hvordan disse kan bidra til å skape «Eggedal Fjellandsby» som er målsettingen i arbeidet med ny sentrumsplan for Eggedal. Eggedals kulturhistoriske karaktertrekk er beskrevet gjennom 6 temaer: Landskapet/Gårdsmiljøet, Kirkebygda, Handelssentrum, Boligbebyggelsen, Kunstnerdalen og Turisme. Disse karaktertrekkene er igjen brukt som utgangspunkt for å tydeliggjøre hvilke utfordringer som eventuelt truer disse kvalitetene og hvilke mulighetsrom kulturhistoriske kvaliteter skaper for videre utvikling av Eggedal sentrum.The analysis of historical elements in central Eggedal is based on the DIVE-method developed by The Directorate for Cultural Heritage with a purpose to describe and make visible the historical qualities and characteristics of Eggedal and how these elements can contribute to develop Eggedal as a “mountain village” as indicated in the ongoing zoning plan for the area. The historic characteristics are described by six themes: Landscape/Farmland, The Church, Local centre, Housingstructure, The ‘Art Valley’ and Tourism. These characteristics are used to describe challenges and threats to the historical qualities present and what possibilities and opportunity space can be defined based on these qualities.publishedVersio
