dc.description.abstract
This article is based on comparative anthropological fieldwork conducted in
the Alpine region of Switzerland on sustainable environmental knowledge about
natural hazards related to climate change. It examines ways to complement the
normative and technological practices of risk management by using local
knowledge to improve the resilience of affected communities against climate-
related risks. The study shows how agricultural practices and knowledge may
contribute to sustainable behavior towards nature and the environment. It
explores how local environmental knowledge, perceptions, and handling
strategies of climate-related risks may be integrated within a renewed concept
of environmental sustainability. Participatory GIS mapping (PGIS) is the
primary research method used. Based on applied visual anthropological methods,
PGIS is a cartographical approach that integrates local perceptions and
strategies of action drawn from interviews and participant observation. This
approach enables improved communication of local knowledge and contributes to
interdisciplinary cooperation between different academic fields, such as
social anthropology, geography, and civil-engineering in the context of
technological risk management. The approach encourages the active
participation of local people in the process of sustainable risk management
through the integration of cultural meanings and local knowledge about the
sustainable management of sensitive natural environments.
