wie sich in Kriegs- und Krisenzeiten die Waldbewirtschaftung veränderte ; Die deutsche Forstwirtschaft im Ersten Weltkrieg
No full textSoftcover, 327 S.: 38,00 €Softcover, 17x24Kann ein nachhaltiges Ressourcenmanagement auch in Zeiten der Krise aufrechterhalten werden? Diese hochaktuelle Frage wird in „Wald und Krieg“ am Beispiel der deutschen Forstwirtschaft im Ersten Weltkrieg beantwortet. Die bisherige Forschung nahm an, dass Kriege den Waldbestand erheblich gefährden. Welche Mechanismen dazu führten, blieb jedoch unklar. Für den Ersten Weltkrieg kann die Frage nun beantwortet werden: Der Wald hätte eine Übernutzung verkraften können, sie wurde auch angestrebt, aber die Durchführung war unter Kriegsbedingungen unmöglich. Es fehlten Arbeitskräfte und Transportfahrzeuge. Trotzdem erfuhr die Waldbewirtschaftung tiefgreifende Änderungen. Einige der damaligen Neuerungen, wie das Sammeln von Gerbrinde und Ölfrüchten wurden nach Kriegsende rasch wieder aufgegeben, andere, wie die Mechanisierung durch Motorsägen und Zugmaschinen, prägen die Waldarbeit bis heute. Dabei änderten sich die Handlungsmaximen der Akteure kaum. Dem kriegswirtschaftlichen Ziel der Steigerung des Holzanfalls setzten die Förster die Wahrung der Nachhaltigkeit entgegen. So gegensätzlich die Ziele, so kontrastierend das naturräumliche Ergebnis der ‚Kriegsforstwirtschaft‘: Kahlschläge in verkehrsgünstigen Waldlagen und unberührte Natur im Hinterland
Interdisciplinarity in 19th and Early 20th Century: Reflections on Ecosystem Services of Forest
No full textReflecting on forest functions links forestry and the society since the 19th century, thus demanding early forms of interdisciplinarity. In this essay we trace back the history of the research on forest functions to its very beginning. We present the most influential conceptualizations on this topic in the last 180 years. Including forestry science, political science, history, and economics, protagonists met this challenge by showing an interdisciplinary interest in their other works, too. Since the 19th century, many different terms have been used to describe the relationship between forestry and society, including ‘forest uses’, ‘forest effects’, ‘forest tasks’, and ‘meanings’. This did not only lead to a confusing use of terms but the protagonists did not build on, and connect with each other either. For that reason, a research tradition could not be established. The overview of the development of the different terms is followed by a suggestion to amalgamate the concepts: Today, a society’s demands to a forest should be named ‘tasks’ of a forest. If the forest is producing ‘natural effects’ that make it possible to satisfy these ‘tasks’, we should talk about ‘services’ that are delivered by the forest

Kulturlandschaft verstehen
No full textFür alle Regionen, die auf den Tourismus als ökonomisches Standbein setzen, ist ein marktfähiges Alleinstellungsmerkmal wichtig. Die Kulturlandschaft in ihrer jeweils besonderen Eigenart bietet hierfür ein endogenes Potenzial, das es zu erschließen, aber gleichermaßen auch zu schützen gilt. Doch viele kulturlandschaftliche Charakteristika und Besonderheiten eröffnen sich nicht unmittelbar, sondern müssen erst herausgearbeitet und „interpretiert“ werden. Darin liegt die grundlegende Herausforderung. Der vorliegende Band beinhaltet zum einen theoretische Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Thema Kulturlandschaftsforschung aus der Perspektive verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Fachrichtungen, zum anderen praxisbezogene Fallbeispiele, die aufzeigen, wie die Forschungsergebnisse einem Freizeitpublikum auf interessante Art und Weise vermittelt werden können. Denn die Kulturlandschaft ist beides – wissenschaftliches Forschungsobjekt und Vermittlungsraum im Kontext touristischer Freizeitgestaltung

No full textNormative reconstruction and social character of freedom in Axel Honneth
No full textO presente objeto de pesquisa busca proceder ao estudo e identificação dos traços essenciais envolvidos na abordagem teórica das relações sociais e políticas trazidas na obra O Direito da Liberdade do filósofo alemão Axel Honneth. Faz-se uma análise da influência hegeliana sobre o conceito de liberdade, assim como dos fatores relacionados com o suprimento das carências subjetivas, mediadas pelas diferentes “esferas” sociais. Honneth, assim, procura trazer à tona a compreensão de um novo modelo de liberdade advindo da Filosofia do Direito de Hegel, o qual se distingue substancialmente dos modelos tradicionais. O autor busca evidenciar a limitação das teorias da justiça de tradição liberal, invocando a necessidade de uma visão integrada das relações sociais experimentadas nas esferas referidas por Hegel, concebendo-se uma experiência concreta de liberdade social. Nesse sentido, evidencia-se o caráter interdisciplinar e emancipatório do método de reconstrução normativa como base teórica para a justificação pública nas sociedades modernas.This research object aims to study and identify the essential traits involved in the theoretical approach of social and political relations brought in the work Freedom’s Right by the german philosopher Axel Honneth. It analyses the hegelian influence on the concept of freedom, as well as the factors related to the supply of subjective needs, mediated by the different social "spheres". Honneth thus seeks to bring to light the understanding of a new model of freedom stemming from Hegel’s Philosophy of Law, which differs substantially from traditional models. The author seeks to highlight the limitation of liberal theories of justice, invoking the need for an integrated view of the social relations experienced in the spheres referred to by Hegel, conceiving a concrete experience of social freedom. In this sense, the interdisciplinary and emancipatory character of the normative reconstruction method is evidenced, as a theorical basis for public justification in modern societies
