Tacit knowledge of place: Sensory and artistic approaches for capturing and communicating tacit ecological knowledge.

This article focuses on the use of artistic and sensory methodologies in placemaking design and participatory land research to engage diverse community voices and capture tacit ecological knowledge. It presents a case study from the Hungarian floodplains along the Tisza River, where traditional floodplain farmers' experiential expertise is documented through sensory ethnography, participatory sensory walks, and artistic media such as film and sound recordings. The study argues that these approaches reveal complex human–environment relationships often overlooked by conventional consultation methods, thereby fostering more inclusive and multidimensional understandings of place attachment and ecological knowledge. By integrating sensory art and ethnographic practices, the research highlights new pathways for participatory land decision-making that honor embodied, tacit knowledge alongside scientific perspectives.
