Abstract

Scientists and authorities for public safety warn for the growing risk of fire in Dutch landscapes. They expect fires to become more uncontrollable in the future, meaning that current fire suppression methods will no longer suffice. Therefore, a change of attitude towards fire as well as adaptation of landscapes is needed in order to learn how to live with its presence. In this paper we focus on one of the high-risk areas in the Netherlands, the Veluwe. We suggest how cultural history and historic landscape can offer inspiration and guidance for this cultural and physical climate adaptation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
