‘Being a Good Neighbour and Good Steward of the Land’: Anthropocentric and Biocentric Attitudes among Representatives of Environmental Organisations and Their Significance for the Success of Landscape Governance StrategiesJana StachováSociologický časopis / Czech Sociological Review 2026, 62(1): 3-31 | DOI: 10.13060/csr.2024.031 The shape of the landscape depends not only on natural and climatic conditions, but also on the social demand as to what the landscape should look like and what functions it should fulfil.

Because we were dealing with a minority population, we opted for a qualitative methodology and conducted semistructured interviews with 17 Adventist and 15 Baptist believers. As observed, our research participants’ position towards sexuality... |
