近年来，治理已成为一个光辉的概念。这个词在几乎所有的社会科学学科以及政治过程中都被广泛使用。本文的目的不是澄清这些有时模糊的含义，而是强调与政治空间维度的重组有关的环境治理的一些特征。它的出发点是这样一个假设，即寻求多层次的决策对环境治理特别紧迫。然而，多层次的治理引起了人们对各种空间层次的构成及其相互关系的关注，正如在“规模政治”一词下所讨论的那样。此外，有人认为，就环境治理而言，空间参考与另一项挑战密切相关，这涉及如何处理特定地方的生物物理条件的问题。景观治理一词的引入是为了解决这个问题，而不是指一个本体论给定的空间。因此，景观治理涉及社会构建的空间（规模政治）和地方的“自然”条件之间的相互联系。为此，引入了社会与自然关系的概念，并将其应用于“景观”一词，作为社会科学和自然科学之间的桥梁概念。本文以德国莱比锡UFZ环境研究中心面向问题的跨学科研究为例，阐述了景观治理的方法。(c)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Governance has become an iridescent concept in recent years. The term is widely used in almost all social-science disciplines as well as in the political process. The intention of this paper is not so much to clarify these sometimes vague meanings but to highlight some characteristics of environmental governance connected with the restructuring of the spatial dimensions of politics. It starts from the assumption that the quest for multi-level decision making is particularly pressing for environmental governance. However, multi-level governance raises concern about the constitution of various spatial levels and their relationships with each other, as discussed under the term of "politics of scale". Moreover, it is argued that for environmental governance the spatial reference is strongly connected with another challenge, which concerns the question of how to deal with the biophysical conditions of particular places. The term landscape governance is introduced to tackle this question without referring to an ontologically given space. Thus, landscape governance deals with the interconnections between socially constructed spaces (the politics of scale) and "natural" conditions of places. For this task, the concept of societal relationships with nature is introduced and applied to the term "landscape" as a bridging concept between social and natural sciences. The paper illustrates the approach of landscape governance with examples of problem-oriented interdisciplinary research at the UFZ-Centre for Environmental research in Leipzig, Germany.
