Landscape planning for sustainable regional environment management

"Landscape" is an interdisciplinary approach that combines the physical environment with personal emotions and social meaning. Aiming at sustainable regional development in rural areas, we study cultural meanings of the natural environment through people's landscape perception and experience. And we conduct fieldworks and social experiments in practice. Let's discuss together about ways to "visualize" the attractiveness of region, to share its values with people, and to manage them through engagement.
