Metageographies and Spatial Frames: Coastal Management as Situated Practice in the international Wadden Sea Region

沿海管理是世界各地沿海社区的一项长期存在和具有挑战性的任务。海岸景观占据陆地和海洋之间的界面，其特点是社会与自然之间的特殊和不断发展的关系，其特点是地球物理，生态，经济和社会文化过程之间的复杂相互作用。它们充满了文化和自然价值，并与沿海和自然保护的各种合理性有关，有时这些合理性受到质疑。对沿海社区与其环境之间关系的理论了解仍然有限。特别是，有一个明确的认识到沿海地区的多样性和相关的嵌入式沿海管理的做法，显然需要位于的观点。该研究项目介绍了一种新颖的，创新的方法来解决沿海管理的空间维度和沿海管理实践的特殊空间性的影响。该项目认真考虑到共存的异质性、多样性和多样性是空间性的一个组成特征这一命题，将首先审查沿海管理做法在多大程度上是区域性的，并位于沿海景观之中。通过比较案例研究分析，研究将确定瓦登海沿海管理实践的相似性和差异性，并评估差异性与当地和区域特定实践文化和景观特征的相关程度。其次，认识到空间的社会建构性质以及空间性在社会关系中的结构化作用，研究将探讨嵌入式空间性在沿海景观集体建设和沿海管理实践中的作用。两个比较跨境案例研究，位于荷兰-德国和丹麦-德国边境构成的实证研究的重点。该项目将（a）确定每个案例研究领域内沿海管理的主要小岛屿发展中国家及其相关行为者组合、规范原则和实践文化;（B）确定物质空间实践对瓦登海沿海景观社会建设的影响（C）考察元地理学作为沿海景观和沿海管理实践的制度结构基础的强大空间结构的作用;（d）确定、分类和批判性地审查空间框架的形成过程和由此产生的空间框架及其在具体部门-机构系统的话语背景下的作用;（e）审查在话语和物质结构中自然和文化的空间分离在多大程度上影响了在沿海管理和自然保护的更广泛的机构背景下自然和文化的概念分离。

Coastal management constitutes an ever-present and challenging task for coastal communities across the world. Coastal landscapes occupying the interface between land and sea are characterised by particular and evolving relations between society and nature and characterised by complex interactions between geophysical, ecological, economic and socio-cultural processes. They are imbued with cultural and natural values and associated with diverse and at times contested rationalities of coastal and nature protection. Theoretically informed understanding of the relationships between coastal communities and their environments remains limited. In particular, there is an evident need for situated perspectives which explicitly recognise the diversity of coastal places and associated embedded practices of coastal management. This research project introduces a novel, innovative approach to addressing the spatial dimensions of coastal management and the implications of particular spatialities on coastal management practices. Taking seriously the proposition that coexisting heterogeneity, multiplicity and diversity is a constitutive feature of spatiality, the project will firstly examine the extent to which coastal management practices are regionally embedded and situated within the coastal landscape. Through comparative case study analysis the research will identify similarities and dissimilarities in coastal management practices across the Wadden Sea and assess the extent to which dissimilarities are associated with local and regionally-specific cultures of practice and landscape characteristics. Secondly, recognising the socially constructed nature of space as well as the structuring role of spatialities in social relations the research will examine the role of embedded spatialities in the collective construction of coastal landscapes and practices of coastal management. Two comparative cross-border case studies, located at the Dutch-German and Danish German borders constitute the empirical focus of the research. The project will (a) identify the principal SIS of coastal management within each case study area and their associated actor constellations, normative principles and cultures of practice; (b) identify the influence of material spatial practices on the social construction of the Wadden Sea coastal landscape identify (c) examine the role of metageographies as powerful spatial structures underlying the institutional structuring of coastal landscapes and coastal management practices; (d) identify, classify and critically examine processes of spatial framing and resultant spatial frames and their roles within the discursive context of specific sectoral-institutional systems; (e) examine the extent to which the spatial separation of nature and culture in discursive and material structures influences the conceptual separation of nature and culture within the wider institutional contexts of coastal management and nature protection.
