Nature, culture and belonging in urban landscapes: an anthropological investigation into environmental beliefs, values and practices in Perth, Western Australia.

该项目探讨了澳大利亚城市环境中对本地和引进的动植物物种的竞争态度。它将记录与西澳大利亚珀斯的花园、公园和宠物饲养相关的复杂信仰、价值观和实践，以调查城市对当地生活环境的“归属”概念。这项研究将在以往对农村地区的研究基础上，探讨城市环境态度与公民对个人和文化身份的不同感觉之间的联系。该项目将有助于对澳大利亚社会的研究采取一种新兴的人类学方法，并有望取得具有学术和实际意义的成果。

This project explores contesting attitudes towards native and introduced plant and animal species in an urban Australian setting. It will document complex beliefs, values and practices associated with gardens, parks and pet-keeping in Perth, Western Australia, in order to investigate urban conceptions of what 'belongs' in local living environments. Building on previous research in rural locations, the study will address links between urban environmental attitudes, and citizens' diverse senses of personal and cultural identity. The project will contribute to an emergent anthropological approach to the study of Australian society and promises outcomes of both academic and practical significance.
