Sažetak
Narration, Genius loci, atmosphere and emotions are characteristics of valuable landscapes, which connect people, the places we create and the environment we inhabit. Nowadays, when our impact on environment is stronger than ever, creating valuable connecting landscapes is the question of sustainable development and, very likely, the question of our survival as well. With so many landscape interventions and changes going on in our surroundings, questions „Are they good, bad, necessary, useful…? “ frequently pop up. Measuring and demonstrating the benefits of landscape interventions will be of crucial importance in the years ahead. This report presents comprehensive and aplicable method which could be useful in valuing landscapes. It is based on two-way valuing landscape, ex-ante (before intervention) and ex-post (after intervention). The aim is to mathematically and undoubtedly prove benefits (value after intervention higher then value before). Three categories are evaluated: the greatest value (connection people-place-nature), measure of the most important attributes (basic: safe, scenic, meaningful and abstract: narraion, genius loci, atmosphere, emotion) and demonstration potentials/achievements (prevision: projections and visions, personal feelings: experiences and impressions, observation: other people’s behavior and relationship, public: transfer of knowledge and promotion). The intention was to test the method through different landscape types with different importance and character. Valuing method was applied to six different landscapes, located in Slavonija, Croatian eastern region: sad place (baroque fortress Stara Gradiška), fairytale place (suburban Villa Brlićevac, Slavonski Brod), artistic place (Park of the Pejačević castle, Našice), childhood place (estate Field Luka, Rastušje), combat place (medieval fortress Gračanica, Cernik) and silent place (medieval fortress Bijela Stijena). Results showed increased landscape’s value for all six interventions, confirming theese projects are good examples of protecting and/or creating the most valuable landscapes which strongly connect people, place and nature. To create and properly value landscapes, knowledge acquired through education and established formal methods are important, but they are not enough. Most of all, landscape is feeling and experience. Everyone can not be a landscape architect. From the earliest childhood, we (experts, parents, teachers…) have to recognise, encourage and raise future landscape architects with strong emotions and sensibility for life, heritage and world arround us. Then, valuable landscapes and benefits of landscape interventions will be omnipresent.
