Primarily for collecting rainwater, it acts as a rich venue for multiple activities, the complexity of which defies its simple design elements. While landscape architects are primarily concerned with understanding these design elements, a study limited to the physical design of a talaab will not enable a complete envisioning of its multiple roles. The concept of “frames,” put forth by the sociologist Erving Goffman as cultural definitions of reality, is used to address this gap and to examine, through a historical analysis, the change in ownership and management of water in India. Based on linguist Stef Slembrouck’s discussion of frames as spatial metaphors, this paper speculates that the talaab landscape acts simultaneously as a space for normative or expected/typical activities and as a situational/interactional entity. The paper further characterizes the land-water interface of a talaab as a “laminate” hosting normative activities and acting as a situational/interactional space determined by culturally governed temporal and ideological principles. The use of this model to interpret space as a physical and socio-cultural construct allows a better understanding of the possibilities for creating multifunctional landscapes embedded with social and spiritual meaning.","PeriodicalId":442323,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Journal: design, planning, and management of the land","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133734579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To suggest that Hou’s “city natural” elides dimensions of the past even while it illuminates others is, however, merely to acknowledge one of the fundamental paradoxes of all intellectual work: as social scientists Geoff rey C. Bowker and Susan Leigh Star point out, the act of classifi cation has consequences, yet “to classify is human” (1999, 1). Indeed, the contributors to Garden and Forest were likewise engaged in a collective attempt to make sense of their complicated and confusing world, and they also did so by inventing, deploying, and challenging conceptual categories. Hou’s City Natural reminds us that we have much to learn from their eff orts to reconcile both the material and the conceptual confl icts that arise between humans and non-human nature. We also have much to learn from the ways in which they created a discursive space that upheld the possibility of such reconciliation. Toward that end, The City Natural provides a valuable starting point.","PeriodicalId":442323,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Journal: design, planning, and management of the land","volume":"129 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128848329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Victoria Chanse examines the contribution of TDAR perspectives for organizing and managing multiple volunteer groups in a regional watershed stewardship initiative in Contra Costa County, California. Three of the cases occur in rural settings. Christine Carlson, John Koepke, and Mirja Hanson from the University of Minnesota offer TDAR perspectives on their efforts to organize and coordinate the activities of the Laurentian Vision Partnership in reframing iron ore mining as a tool to make future ecologies and economies on the Mesabi Iron Range in northern Minnesota. In Entlebuch, Switzerland, Olaf Schroth, Ulrike Wissen Hayek, Eckart Lange, Stephen R. J. Sheppard, and Willy A. Schmid of the Institute for Spatial and Landscape Planning, ETH Zurich and the University of British Columbia examine the contribution of interactive landscape visualizations for constructing transdisciplinary knowledge, dialogue, and consensus building in the search for solutions to rural landscape planning problems. Working with the Wisconsinbased Green Communities and Green Affordable Housing in Indian Country Initiative, Susan Thering integrates a grounded theory approach informed by social science literature to document and evaluate the intangible outcomes of transdisciplinary partnerships with Native American communities. Finally, two of the cases are statewide in their geographic focus. Cheryl Doble and Maren King of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry discuss lessons learned from the creation and operation of a statewide partnership to address remediation and redevelopment of small city waterfronts throughout New York State. Through his work with the Pennsylvania Advocates for Nutrition and Activity, Michael Rios, of the University of California, Davis, demonstrates the utility of social ecological approaches sensitive to various scales of social and spatial production to inform the development and evaluation of transdisciplinary approaches in the context of an obesity prevention initiative in Pennsylvania.

Academic integrity research spans a global scale and regardless of where the researcher is from, they are building on a pool of research findings that have no physical boundaries. Basic agreed upon research standards and fundamentals must be established to ensure the validity and reliability of the body of academic research. Problematic to the situation are differences in cultural definitions of what constitutes plagiarism. Therefore, this study aimed to build the body of knowledge on the current condition of plagiarism levels as well as perform a sample comparison of some patterns in Eastern and Western culture. A document analysis was conducted for two universities, one in the USA and one in Saudi Arabia. In addition, a survey was conducted in an academic context in Saudi Arabia to investigate students’ and faculty’s understanding of what constitutes plagiarism. It was predicted that Saudi Arabia is shifting towards a Westernized definition of plagiarism; results partially supported this hypothesis. ت ع ت ب ر ا ل ن ز ا ھ ة ا لأ ك ا د ی م ی ة ذ ا ت أ ھ م ی ة ك ب ی ر ة ل ض م ا ن ت ح د ی د ث ا ب ت ل م ا ی ش ك ل ا لا ن ت ح ا ل ع ب ر م ن ا ط ق ا ل ع ا ل م . ت م ت د أ ب ح ا ث ا ل ن ز ا ھ ة ا لأ ك ا د ی م ی ة ع ل ى ن ط ا ق ع ا ل م ي و ب غ ض ا ل ن ظ ر ع ن ا ل م ك ا ن ا ل ذ ي ی ن ت م ي إ ل ی ھ ا ل ب ا ح ث ، ف ھ ي ت ع ت م د ع ل ى م ج م و ع ة م ن ن ت ا ئ ج ا لأ ب ح ا ث ا ل ت ي لا ت و ج د ل ھ ا ح د و د م ا د ی ة . ی ج ب و ض ع ا ل م ع ا ی ی ر ا لأ س ا س ی ة ا ل م ت ف ق ع ل ی ھ ا و ا لأ س ا س ی ا ت ل ض م ا ن ص ح ة و م و ث و ق ی ة ھ ی ئ ة ا ل ب ح ث ا لأ ك ا د ی م ي . ا لإ ش ك ا ل ی ة ف ي ا ل م و ق ف ھ ي ا خ ت لا ف ا ت ف ي ا ل ت ع ر ی ف ا ت ا ل ث ق ا ف ی ة ل م ا ی ش ك ل ا لا ن ت ح ا ل . و ل ذ ل ك ، ھ د ف ت ھ ذ ه ا ل د ر ا س ة إ ل ى ب ن ا ء ج س د ا ل م ع ر ف ة ح و ل ا ل ح ا ل ة ا ل ر ا ھ ن ة ل م س ت و ی ا ت ا لا ن ت ح ا ل و ك ذ ل ك إ ج ر ا ء م ق ا ر ن ة ن م و ذ ج ی ة ل ب ع ض ا لأ ن م ا ط ف ي ا ل ث ق ا ف ة ا ل ش ر ق ی ة و ا ل غ ر ب ی ة . ت م إ ج ر ا ء ت ح ل ی ل ل ل و ث ا ئ ق ل ج ا م ع ت ی ن ، و ا ح د ة ف ي ا ل و لا ی ا ت ا ل م ت ح د ة ا لأ م ر ی ك ی ة و و ا ح د ة ف ي ا ل م م ل ك ة ا ل ع ر ب ی ة ا ل س ع و د ی ة . ب ا لإ ض ا ف ة إ ل ى ذ ل ك ، أ ج ر ی ت د ر ا س ة ا س ت ق ص ا ئ ی ة ف ي س ی ا ق أ ك ا د ی م ي ف ي ا ل م م ل ك ة ا ل ع ر ب ی ة ا ل س ع و د ی ة ل ل ت ح ق ی ق ف ي ف ھ م ا ل ط لا ب و ھ ی ئ ة ا ل ت د ر ی س ل م ا ی ش ك ل ا لا ن ت ح ا ل . ك ا ن م ن ا ل م ت و ق ع أ ن ت ت ج ھ ا ل م م ل ك ة ا ل ع ر ب ی ة ا ل س ع و د ی ة ن ح و ت ع ر ی ف ا ل غ ر ب ی ی ن ل لا ن ت ح ا ل و ق د د ع م ت ا ل ن ت ا ئ ج ھ ذ ه ا ل ف ر ض ی ة ج ز ئ ی ا .","PeriodicalId":442323,"journal":{"name":"Landscape Journal: design, planning, and management of the land","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1958-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122439894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
