33 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 1. What do you think of when I mention the word landscape? Most respondents said that it s a beautiful natural view. Only few people mentioned that it is the result of the action of natural and human factors.
34 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 2. In what way do you get in contact with the landscape in your daily life? Majority of respondents live in countryside, so daily life is closely connected with landscape. In some cases they think that their everyday life could influence landscape when they dig a garden, grow plants, arrange a flower garden, cut grass, dig snow, plant saplings, etc. Some of respondents think that quality of life depends on environment if you live in a beautiful environment you feel good.
35 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 3. a) What kind of landscapes are important to protect in the world? On what reasons? The most popular answer was landscapes less destroyed by people should be preserved because only few are remain; unique landscapes. Other answers: it needs to protect peaks of mountains to see landscape in mountains and for biological diversity it needs to protect waterfall because it is beautiful, revival, more oxygen for rivers
36 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 3. b) What kind of landscapes are important to protect in Lithuania? On what reasons? Some answers: landscapes that are typical for every region. By this principle national parks were established it needs to protect Lithuanian people who are disappearing Some other values: Curonian Spit, Nida, mounds, lakes, valleys of rivers.
37 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 3. c) Which values are important to protect here in the Žemaitija National Park? Some most spread answers: Plateliai lake with islands, ancient village of Stirbaičiai with old farmsteads, Gardai Oz, former manor farmstead in Plateliai, small town of Žemaičių Kalvarija, lake of Piktežeris in Šeirė Nature Path, shapes of relief
38 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 4. In what way (how) should the public be involved in landscape planning? When in the process? There are some differences in answers among groups. 1 group (employees of the Žemaitija National Park). They think that the public is involved in landscape planning but awareness of landscape values and planning is still low and it is important to educate society.
39 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 4. In what way (how) should the public be involved in landscape planning? When in the process? 2 group (businessmen of countryside tourism): the public should be more involved in landscape planning, we need more meetings with simple explanations and more communication.
40 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 4. In what way (how) should the public be involved in landscape planning? When in the process? 3 group (farmers): the public should be involved in landscape planning in the beginning and should be permanent communication in all stages of planning process. Before planning process starts it should be explained why it is need to protect, what will be restrictions, conditions. Representatives from different organizations should agree among themselves and to explain things to common people without disagreements.
41 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 4. In what way (how) should the public be involved in landscape planning? When in the process? 4 group (employees of Municipality): the public should be involved in landscape planning in the begining as source of information, e.g. to say what is worth to protect. Later people should be only inform. Local people could not give solutions because they are not specialists. People become active only if it is connected with their private interests. They are disappointed with meetings and planning process because nothing goes ahead. Our society is not enough consciousness, so environment protection is obligatory. Organizer of planning process could open an office where people could go and give or get information. Specialists should go to people.
42 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 5. How would you like to develop the Žemaitija National Park? 1 group (employees of the Žemaitija National Park): more cooperation with local people. Extensive farming. Compensations or reward for appropriate activity should be paid. Park should be develop to protect mosaic landscape as it is now.
43 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 5. How would you like to develop the Žemaitija National Park? 2 group (businessmen of countryside tourism): National Park should be clean, tidy and everything should give positive emotions. To rebuild palace in Plateliai park, to clean pond in Plateliai and reconstruct one old street for tourism. National Park is ours. First of all we have to save Plateliai lake because it s the biggest value in the National park. We are like beetles without National park we would be consumed by predators.
44 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 5. How would you like to develop the Žemaitija National Park? 3 group (farmers): Roads everywhere will be asphalted. Water will be so clean that you could see the bottom. Everything could be like is now. To advise to common people not to punish.
45 INTERVIEWS OF FOCUS GROUPS 5. How would you like to develop the Žemaitija National Park? 4 group (employees of Municipality): there should be some changes because now it is one approach to the whole territory of the National Park. It needs to find some places that are unique, not destroyed, and to protect only them not the whole territory. More cooperation NP with local authorities, forest enterprises. NP should help people to protect their old farmsteads. Authority of the National Park should do more to attract investments, more facilities of outdoor recreation, more interesting cultural objects. To educate people because after some time even litterbin integrates into society.
