Global climate change and the accelerated melting of glaciers have raised concerns about the ability to manage ice-snow environments. Historically, human ancestors have mastered the ecological wisdom of working with ice-snow environments, but the phenomenon has not yet been articulated in cultural landscape methodologies that emphasize “nature-culture relevance”. The challenging living environment often compels indigenous people to form a strong bond with their surroundings, leading to the creation of long-term ecological wisdom through synergistic relationships with the environment. This ecological environment is conceptualized as a cognitive space in the form of the landscape, with which the aboriginal community norms and individual spirits continually interact. Such interactions generate numerous non-material cultural evidences, such as culture, art, religion, and other ideological aspects of the nation. These evidences symbolize the intellectual outcome of the relationship between humans and the landscape, and they create the “spiritual relevance” through personification and contextualization. The aim of the study is to explore the traditional ecological wisdom of the Inuit people who live in the harsh Arctic, and analyze the Inuit's interaction with the landscape through the lens of “associative cultural landscape”, and decode the survival experience that the Inuit have accumulated through their long-term synergy with the Arctic environment. The findings focus on the synergy between the Inuit and the ice-snow landscape, examining the knowledge and ecological wisdom that the Inuit acquire from the ice-snow landscape. Our goal is to develop a perspective of the ecological environment from the viewpoint of aboriginal people and establish a methodology, model, and framework for “associative cultural landscape” that incorporates ethnic non-material cultural evidences. From the results, a total of nine models for interpreting traditional Inuit ecological wisdom are generated based on the “diamond model” of “associative cultural landscape”, covering the transition from the physical landscape to a spiritual one and demonstrating the associative role of the landscape in stimulating potential spiritual cognitive abilities in humans.

解读传统生态智慧的联想文化景观方法：以因纽特人栖息地为例

全球气候变化和冰川加速融化引发了人们对管理冰雪环境能力的担忧。从历史上看，人类祖先已经掌握了处理冰雪环境的生态智慧，但这种现象尚未在强调“自然与文化相关性”的文化景观方法论中得到阐明。充满挑战的生活环境往往迫使原住民与周围环境建立牢固的联系，从而通过与环境的协同关系创造长期的生态智慧。这种生态环境被概念化为景观形式的认知空间，原住民社区规范和个体精神不断与之互动。这种互动产生了大量非物质文化证据，例如文化、艺术、宗教和民族的其他意识形态方面。这些证据象征着人与景观关系的智力成果，并通过拟人化和情境化创造了“精神关联”。研究目的是探索生活在严酷北极的因纽特人的传统生态智慧，通过“联想文化景观”的视角分析因纽特人与景观的互动，解码因纽特人的生存经验。通过与北极环境的长期协同作用而积累起来。研究结果重点关注因纽特人和冰雪景观之间的协同作用，考察因纽特人从冰雪景观中获得的知识和生态智慧。我们的目标是从原住民的角度看待生态环境，建立融合民族非物质文化证据的“联想文化景观”的方法论、模型和框架。结果显示，基于“联想文化景观”的“钻石模型”，共生成了九个诠释因纽特人传统生态智慧的模型，涵盖了物质景观到精神景观的转变，展示了景观的联想作用。激发人类潜在的精神认知能力。
