Abstract:

Museum techniques of presentation are reviewed for the possibility of use in contemporary botanic gardens. Supporting evidence suggests that these techniques are being successfully applied in some botanic gardens around the world. Institutions that have adopted museum techniques have been found to operate efficiently, whilst providing increased levels of enjoyment and education for visitors. Cultural differences between various countries have small influences on the most effective presentation techniques used, but further local research is required to uncover visitor preferences and use patter

Abstract:

The project traces the cultural changes in European botanic gardens with special reference to those in Britain, from the early days of medicine to more recent habitat creations and from plant taxonomy through to the new science of plant ecology. The main aim was to identify which British botanic gardens contribute to the biodiversity, conservation and display of British flora. Another important part was to :find out the opinions of the botanic garden administration and the informed public, thereby discovering the merits, validity and impact of British habitat creation within the botanic garden

Abstract:

Botanic gardens worldwide are asked to be centers of conservation. However, little is written about conservation-specific planning and design forms botanic gardens should use to fulfill this assignment. After looking at the history of botanic gardens, with a focus on the purpose/design relationship, examining design guidelines suggested in and inferred from the literature, and presenting habitat conservation principles and sustainable construction guidelines from other areas of practice, the author developed conservation design guidelines for botanic gardens focused on conservation.

Abstract:

The botanic garden is a space of leisure, scientific endeavour, passive recreation, education and conservation. These roles are contradictory, yet coexist 'happily' in a single space. The central aim of this thesis is to investigate the diversity of spaces and meanings in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens from the perspectives of both users and producers of this space. The fieldwork component involves interviews with staff members of the Botanical Services Team at the Gardens, and selected people at the Christchurch City Council offices who were connected with the Gardens in various ways.

This thesis investigates the relationship between landscape design and effectiveness of environmental education in botanic gardens in Taiwan. Beginning with a review of the historical development and changing role of the botanic garden, botanic gardens have been shown to react to the development of plant sciences and to reflect contemporary human demands, such as commercial trade, collecting habits and recreation. The conclusion is reached that after the Rio Earth Summit the most important role of the botanic garden in the 21 st century lies in enviromnental education. l. Interviews with educa

Abstract:

The research study set out to establish whether the balanced scorecard suitably adapted and supported by a relevant costing system could improve the focus on outputs and thereby improve governance processes of public sector bodies. What was established from this review was that strategic planning has a role to play in achieving the agreed strategy but without engaging all of the stakeholders in the formulation process there was little chance of success. Moreover, it was indicated that frameworks would encourage greater coherence of planning effort and staff alignment and could be of significan

It argues that the material properties of barkcloth artefacts are indexical of social relations, as it moves between contexts; exploring the nature of properties as inherently diverse or diversely exploited, rather than homogenously embedded. The thesis argues that properties are processual, and uses the operational sequence or chaîne opératoire as a route to beginning to unpack the attribution of these qualities.

Calcutta Botanic Garden was founded in 1786 to acclimatise economic plants, but it quickly became the main institutional base for scientific botany in colonial India.

The thesis shows how the revival of the scientific project to investigate and catalogue the south Asian flora was the main priority for Wallich’s successors, but depended on successful negotiation with the government.
