我们分析了柏林公共社区花园(PAC花园)的环境学习，这些花园代表了由公民社会团体集体管理的公共绿地。通过广泛的田野调查，借鉴学习的社会理论，我们描述了四个PAC花园中的学习社区，并分析了影响参与和边界互动的因素，即从外部引入的经验遇到社会定义的能力。结果表明，这些PAC花园具有自我生成的社会和物理结构，这些结构在不同程度上抑制或促进了边界相互作用，而个人将这些结构付诸实施的技能，以及周围社区的质量，可以归因于在学习当地可持续发展方面创造了更广泛的参与和更大的多样性。已确定的学习内容包括学习园艺和当地生态条件；学习城市政治和社会创业。我们讨论了与环境学习有关的结果，这些结果对抗了城市中关于我们对自然的依赖的代际健忘症，在那里，PAC花园明显地将自己与更封闭的城市园林形式区分开来，如分配花园和封闭式社区花园。我们的结论是，将园艺与社会、政治和经济实践交织在一起的PAC花园可以创造更广泛和更多样化的关于社会生态条件的学习，并有助于在退化的社区发展地方感。(C)2012爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
We analyse environmental learning in public-access community gardens ('PAC-gardens') in Berlin, representing public green spaces that are collectively managed by civil society groups. Through extensive fieldwork, and drawing upon social theories of learning, we describe learning communities in four PAC-gardens and analyse factors that influence participation and boundary interaction, that is when experiences brought in from the outside encounter socially defined competences. Results show that these PAC-gardens have self-generated social and physical structures, which to different degrees inhibit or facilitate boundary interactions, whereas skills of individuals to put those to work, in combination with the quality of the surrounding neighbourhoods, can be ascribed for creating broader participation and greater diversity in the content of learning about local sustainability. Identified learning streams included learning about gardening and local ecological conditions; about urban politics, and about social entrepreneurship. We discuss results in relation to environmental learning that combats the generational amnesia in cities about our dependence on nature, where PAC-gardens clearly distinguish themselves from more closed forms of urban gardening such as allotment gardens and gated community gardens. We conclude that PAC-gardens that intertwine gardening with social, political and economic practices can create broader and more heterogeneous learning about social-ecological conditions, and help develop sense-of-place in degraded neighbourhoods.
