Landscape Observatory Västra Götaland & Balaton Ecomuseum – A Swedish-Hungarian Interaction for Sustainable Landscape Management

• The Balaton Ecomuseum in Hungary and the Landscape Observatory Västra Götaland in Sweden, has recently initiated a cooperation were their combined functionalities creates a novel area of interactivity and provide models for sustainable landscape management. Both parties are recently developed and established and although they share some principal concerns on sustainable development of landscapes, there are also some basic differences. The ecomuseum relies primarily on bottom-up processes and approaches providing a joint platform for local and individual initiatives for safeguarding and developing resources to be found in the geographical area. A broadly defined stakeholder perspective is essential for the functionality of the ecomuseum. The landscape observatory on the other hand stems from a top-down perspective aiming at replacing so-called ‘silo planning’ with more horizontal approaches bringing different stakeholders together within a neutral space for balancing different options and requirements. The two forms of cooperation share properties in inclusive participation, heritage resource management and sustainable development of ecosystemö.
