General thesis, based on readings about the New Zealand case (and related resources) could be following: globalization is a process related to certain power games and strong (economical) interests - it creates specific "magnetic field" in which it is easy to become a winner AND/OR looser. But there are possibilities to oppose its logic and protect certain values... What are these possibilities? Are they accessible on global level or could be generated rather from local resources? Where are resources of (local) pride, responsibility, thoughtfulness? | |||
This thesis works in relation to natural resources - and what else? Culture? Social (community) sphere? Everything that is traditional? .... And do we really need all this old-fashioned stuff? | This thesis works in relation to natural resources - and what else? Culture? Social (community) sphere? Everything that is traditional? ....

== | New Zealand is a country with image of 100 % purity and economically depending on landscape-driven tourism. Nevertheless, it also has rich raw materials throughout its area and so plans for rapid development especially of the mining industry were discussed in 2010. The government has launched a proposal for so called Stocktake = review of the areas potentially rich in minerals for their further exploitation. After gathering more information, process of consultations between citizens, mining investors and government began – the question under concern was whether mineral estates should be considered for exploitation if they affect highly protected land (Schedule 4). After six week consultation process, submissions made by citizens and civic organizations were carefully analyzed and data obtained transparently published. The result of consultations was that the Government had to drop the plans for mineral exploration or extraction in the protected areas. Many excellent experiences from the consultation process and analysis of its results could be tracked from this case study. | ||

The human relationship to the environment, the landscape or area in which they reside, can be seen as natural. View where human being is connected with home or earth-connected is in our minds very well rooted. As well as we feel that in developed countries that no longer apply. The case study describes the current situation in the Beskydy with emphasis on their change linked to globalisation. Besides it briefly directs on the regions in Austria and Spain where a similar situation already occurred. People are as well as wild animals or different types of trees closely linked to the country where they live. Linkages to the living environment can be very considerable for humans and consciousness that this applies to each is of great significance. Therefore, this case study particularly focuses on how are people and the environment where they live affected by this change. | The human relationship to the environment, the landscape or area in which they reside, can be seen as natural.
