  11. Over 40 Organizations, Each Contacted Twice (email + telephone)

  12. Each Interview Included 9 Questions • How do you figure out how you fit into a more broad cultural landscape? • In what way is landscape scale planning valuable to cultural resources? • What kind of incentives are there to conserve and sustain cultural resources? • Where are the dis-incentives? • Are there specific kinds of cultural resources you think LCCs can best assist. • What is the best way LCCs and your organization to collaborate? • Have you ever set priorities? • Besides direct funding, what role do you see for a public/private cooperative like the LCC in cultural resource conservation? • What is the connection between natural and cultural resource conservation.

  13. Cultural Resources and Landscape Conservation Needs analysis 6/23/2013

  14. What people said they want from the SALCC: Provide and analyze data about landscape change. Work to Facilitate partnering between natural and cultural resource conservation organizations. Design a connected landscape that connects natural and cultural resource easements Focus on approaches to historic sites

  15. Forces Impacting Cultural Resources are Complicated… Inner city poverty Suburban Edge of development

  16. Forces Impacting Cultural Resources are Complicated… Rural Poverty Short-term decisionmaking http://www.uky.edu/CommInfoStudies/IRJCI/blog.htm

  17. The Rewards are Big • Well-maintained natural and cultural environments attract tourism.

  18. Cultural Landscapes Offer Experiences People + Nature = Human Imprint on a Place

  19. Sustain Cultural Landscapes • The cultural landscape is fashioned from a natural landscape by a cultural group. Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape is the result“ - Carl O. Sauer – founding father of human geography and cultural ecology • Proposed Human Imprint Indicator: • Indicator: National Register of Historic Places • Target: Maintain context around 250 meters of each non-urban site.

  20. Sustain Cultural Landscapes • The cultural landscape is fashioned from a natural landscape by a cultural group. Culture is the agent, the natural area is the medium, the cultural landscape is the result“ - Carl O.
