私人拥有的庄园主导着苏格兰的高地，其所有者的决定极大地影响着农村社区。这里报告的研究，涉及六个高地，私人庄园的深入个案研究，旨在调查土地所有者和农村社区之间的动态关系，考虑到土地改革（苏格兰）法2003年的影响。通过与关键行为者（当地社区和房地产管理）的访谈和参与者观察，探讨了研究问题。对当前和潜在的土地所有者/地产-社区伙伴关系工作的评价表明，存在互利的机会，需要增强社区能力，以确保伙伴关系取得成功。这些研究结果是从哈贝马斯的角度来解释，重申在公共领域的权力不平等显然是不可逾越的挑战。尽管如此，为了追求民主的话语，私人土地所有者和“地产社区”建议采用沟通行动的原则（通过创造一个“理想的演讲情境”来支持相互理解），为“地产社区”的可持续性做出积极贡献，随后，私人地产的可持续性和公共合法性。这项研究是高度相关的政策在苏格兰土地改革立法审查期间。这些结论在理解农村背景下的权力关系和确定增强社区权能的机会方面具有国际意义。最后，被认为是在苏格兰私人庄园的背景下，沟通的实践成果，以及更广泛的理论应用在“后参与”的时代，尤其是维护“公共领域”的重要性，寻求减少不平等和最大限度地信任。
Privately-owned estates dominate Scotland's uplands, and their owners' decisions greatly influence rural communities. The research reported here, involving in-depth case studies of six upland, private estates, aimed to investigate the dynamic relationships between landowners and rural communities, considering the influence of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. The research questions were explored through interviews with key actors (in the local community and in estate management) and participant observation. Evaluation of current and potential landowner/estate-community partnership-working illustrates the opportunities for mutual benefits, and the need for greater community empowerment to ensure partnership success. These findings are interpreted from a Habermasian perspective, reiterating the apparently insurmountable challenge of power inequalities in the public sphere. Nonetheless, in order to pursue a democratic discourse, private landowners and ‘estate communities’ are recommended to adopt principles of Communicative Action (where mutual understanding is supported through the creation of an ‘ideal speech situation’), to contribute positively to ‘estate community’ sustainability, and subsequently, to private estate sustainability and public legitimacy. This research is highly policy relevant in Scotland during a period of review of land reform legislation. The conclusions have international significance in terms of understanding power relations in rural contexts and identifying opportunities for community empowerment. Finally, outcomes for the practice of communication in the context of Scottish private estates are considered, as well as wider theoretical applications in the era of ‘post-participation’, not least the importance of maintaining the ‘public sphere’, seeking to reduce inequalities and maximise trust.
