| The focus is on landscape patterns and functions as they are affected partly by local agents and processes; partly by external decisions, events and processes. The specific balance of local and global drivers is considered a key to understanding thre dynamic process of landscape change. The course will present and employ complementary analytical approaches to provide theoretical and practical policy insight into the potential of local agricultural landscapes to adapt to global influences in a sustainable way. The course is divided in two parts (one week for each) with the following issues: 1. Sustainable landscapes and changes - conditions and constrains for sustainable landscapes - hydrology, urban development, heritage, natural habitats - global and local drivers of change 2. Landscape policy, planning and management - policy options and planning solutions to promote sustainable landscape development - property rigths and common goods - objectives and means to manage cultural heritage, biodiversity, water resources, landscape character | |||||||||||||||||
