Definitions
It appears that the term was inspired by Carl Jung's use of the term collective unconscious. Jellicoe admired Jung, but the use of 'collective landscape' in the above quotation has something in common with its use in collectivism. Unlike the terms public park and national park, the term collective landscape is a psychological construct and an abstract concept.
'Collective landscape' is therefore best understood as a landscape which:
- exists in the collective unconscious
- like other public goods, does not belong to any individual
