Awaji Shima Region• ~ 600 km²• ~ 150,000 inhabitants• Larger spatial scales
– Hyogo ken– Kinki region– Japan– East Asia– Eurasia– World
• Smaller spatial scales– Municipalities (gun)– Settlement area (cho)– village (machi)– Places– Private units

Relation local, regional, global
– Region is characterized• By smaller local units• By larger global unit
– Regional (local, global) state• (infa-) structure within the
region
– Regional (local, global) use• Economy• Ecology• Quality of life

Long-, medium-, short- term processes
• Processunderstanding of Landscape– Long term > 100 years steps of change– Medium term < 100 years, > 1 year changes– Short term < 1 year processes

Long term processes• Long term processes
– Geology– Climate– Soil– Water System– Vegetation– Animal Life

Medium term processes– Political administration (cho, machi, sanchome)– Demographic trends – Land use
• Agriculture• Tourism• Roads and trafic infrastructures• Settlement areas

Short term processes
• Energy use• Greenhouse gases• Water use• Waste generation• Human inputs in agriculture• Working hours in agriculture

Landscape & Time• Landscape is dynamic
– Arena for all processes – Landscape changes continously
• State and Use– Longer processes generate the „state“ (Structure
Infrastructure) for the „use“ in shorter processes– What is state and what is use depends on our interest
• Human Understanding of Landscape Processes– Long term processes are perceived as stable/non dynamic– Medium term processes depend on long term processes,
generate (infra-) structure for human beings– Short term processes describe human actions within a year

Anticipated Processes: Cyclic• Cyclic means that the pattern of change is known and
repeated on regular base (can be anticipated)– Decades: harvesting of trees, perhaps climate variations,
appearance of Feb. 29th – Years: harvesting of field fruits– Seasons: spring, summer, autumn, winter– Month: salaries– Week: weekdays, weekend– Day: morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night

Anticipated Processes: Non Cyclic• Non-cyclic where the pattern of change is known: Growth and
Decline– Centuries: waves of earthquakes and vulcanos – Decades:
• perhaps human induced climate change, • life periods such as childhood, youth, young adult, family start, family peak,
career peak, agil pensionist, pensionist, • plant growth states of higher plants, availability of resources
– Years: Investments and loans, – Seasons: extreme (summer) heat, extreme (autumn) thyphoons,
extreme snow (winter) or floodings etc.– Month: amount of salaries– Week: visitors of touristic spots on weekdays, weekend– Day: the menue in ALPHA cantine

Non Anticipated Processes: Surprises regarding Natural System
• Not experienced before – Not included in planning & management
• Climate change– Impacts of climate changes– Directions of climate changes
• Acid deposition, forest die-back, fish dying• Chemical time bombs
– Colloid chemical compounds and pH change• Manipulated genes?

Non Anticipated Processes: „Surprises“ regarding Social System
• Rural depopulation• Population decrease in developed world• Aged population, perhaps break down of social
system• New power of kids as consumers
– Several old people to support one kid in shrinking societies

Planning and Management
• Is like riding a bicycle– Foreseen cyclic processes of wheels– Unforeseen but expected disturbances
when passing hinders
• Surprises are: a jump into the water– Planning and management in a changed
context• The road beneath does no longer exist• Learn how to fly or• Learn to swim
