|
Cynefin () is a Welsh word that translates as habitat, as well as haunt, acquainted, accustomed, familiar. The word is similar in meaning to Heimat in German and has been compared to the word turangawaewae, a place to stand. Cultural meaning Cynefin is a cultural notion. In Welsh words can reflect the lived experiences of the landscape. The way the landscape is perceived - in social and cultural terms - is coloured (co-constructed) by its history, by the people who lived there: The Welsh national archive's Cynefin project seeks to digitise and repair 1,200 historical tithe maps and their 30,000 index documents by March 2017. |
