A Spatial Integrated Database for the Enhancement of the Agricultural Custodianship Role (SIDECAR)—Some preliminary tests using Tuscany as a case-study Region
2018, Land Use PolicyCitation Excerpt :can be used for simple purposes by Regional Officers, since SIDECAR mainly uses public databases and the same open source GIS that the administration of Tuscany Region uses to archive and process data. In this way the growing criticism and distrust towards scientific knowledge highlighted by some authors (e.g. Shermer, 2010 in Beunen and Opdam, 2011) might be reduced and thus also the risk that, within decision-making practices, scientific knowledge is contested or ignored (Beunen and Opdam, 2011). The proposed methodology is based on an integrated use of different instruments with the aim to build a comprehensive database developed through QGIS (QGIS Development Team, 2012).
Perspectives on narrowing the action gap between landscape science and metropolitan governance: Practice in the US and China
2014, Landscape and Urban PlanningCitation Excerpt :Differences exist even among disciplines contributing to landscape science. Different disciplines have different epistemologies, standards and conventions for determining what constitutes an adequate basis for knowledge, and different norms for the desirability of making knowledge relevant to choices for action (Schermer, 2010). Furthermore, both reward systems and conventions are different in the US and China.
When landscape planning becomes landscape governance, what happens to the science?
2011, Landscape and Urban PlanningCitation Excerpt :Such actors are not always convinced by facts and figures and may even deny the scientific basis for defining problems or solutions. Such critics can be found, for example, in the debates surrounding climate change, natural resource governance or public health (Schermer, 2010). In the decision-making processes scientific knowledge is also selectively used to advocate or reject claims, drawing science further into the domain of political argument.
