Sustainable Development (core)

content

Semester Two

Module leader: Rebecca Smith

The aim of this module is to provide a bridge between the theory and practice of sustainable rural development at scales from the local community to the region. It considers the concept of sustainable development and global and national policy frameworks for its promotion, and relates these to appropriate management tasks at regional and local planning levels. There is a focus on tools and indicators designed to enable community involvement when managing for sustainable development at the local to regional level.
