Course description

Environmental management for sustainability must integrate scientific, engineering, economic, and demographic information and analysis as well as stakeholder values. Therefore, it requires a unique approach, and planning provides the necessary interdisciplinary perspective, analytical tools, and participatory process. Planning involves setting objectives, gathering and analyzing information, and formulating and evaluating alternative policies, projects, and designs to meet the objectives. Environmental planning applies the process of planning to environmental protection and problem solving. This may entail any of the human-environment interactions: natural hazards, human and environmental health, natural resource use, productive natural systems and ecosystems, and sustainable communities (Randolph, 2012).
Environmental land use planning is critical part of environmental planning and management. This course will focus on the basic concept of environmental planning and management, technical analysis and integration methods of environmental land use planning, and planning, design, and policy tools for environmental land management.
Each class will be conducted online in English with a lecture and presentations by students.
