Territorial Governance across Europe: Pathways, Practices and Prospects
Description
This book provides
a comprehensive framework for analysing, comparing and promoting territorial
governance in policy relevant research. It reveals in-depth considerations of
the emergence, state-of-the art and evolution of the concept of territorial
governance. A unique series of ten case studies across Europe, from
neighbourhood planning in North Shields in the North East of England to climate
change adaptation in the Baltic Sea Region, provides far-reaching insights into
a number of key elements of territorial governance. The book draws generalised
empirically-based conclusions and discusses modes of transferability of ‘good
practices’. A number of suggestions are presented as to how the main findings
from this book can inform theories of territorial governance and spatial policy
and planning.

Conference - Modern Methods and Tools for Public Participation in Urban Planning
Modern
Methods and Tools for Public Participation in Urban Planning
Poznań –

June
22-24, 2017
Organizers
Association

Metropolitan
Research Center, Adam Mickiewicz University in PoznańInstitute of Geoecology and Geoinformation, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań
Symposium
Goal
Researchers
and practitioners of urban planning have had a variable interest in developing
and applying
methods of public participation since the 1970s, when the rational model of
planning started to
be criticized as
technocratic, top-down, and
separated from communities. The interest
in methods accelerated in the mid-1990s, accompanied by the developments in
public participation
geographic information systems (PPGIS) and participatory GIS (PGIS). The
arrival of Web2 in
2000s and improvements
in geographic information
technologies resulted in the
proliferation
of geographically related tools and Web services (Geoweb) for individuals and groups.
Developments in P/PGIS, volunteered geographic information (VGI), and Geoweb
have been
recently paralleled by the growth of holistic approach to public participation
in urban planning
exemplified by Geodesign – a process
relying on geographic digital methods and tools for integrating
analysis, evaluation, design
and public involvement
in urban and
regional planning.
Despite much interest
in participatory methods
rooted in mapping
and visualization of geographical
data, there has not been a gathering of
scholars in P/PGIS, VGI, Geoweb, and Geodesign sharing
their research and
learning from one
another. The symposium
Modern Methods
and Tools for Public Participation in Urban Planning 2017 will offer an opportunity for scholars to
critically discuss methodological underpinnings
of geographically-explicit participatory methods
in urban planning
and share their
experiences with applications
in realistic
planning settings. The format of the symposium with fewer papers than at many
larger conferences
will provide an ample time for meaningful discussion and offer an opportunity
to foster
future research collaborations.

IGU Thematic Conference 2017 - "Land use/cover changes, biodiversity, health and environment, local and regional development"

development"
Bucharest,
Tulcea
Romania
11-15
September 2017
Organized
by: Institute of Geography, Romanian Academy, Faculty of Geography, University
of Bucharest
THE
CONFERENCE RATIONALE:
Connecting
land use and biodiversity is essential to understand the relationships between
ecosystems and socio‐economic
systems, ecosystem services, and the potential risks and benefits to regional
specialization
and
human welfare. Such topic calls for investigations on how human activities and
global environmental changes
affect terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, human well‐being and public
health, what are the
feedback
and the potential local and regional futures. In this context, the rationale of
the conference is to bring
together scientists and
stakeholders from various
connecting fields to address different
effects of ecosystems changes,
to set‐up mitigation
and adaptation strategies
and contribute with
scientific information
to local/regional land use, planning and environmental policies.
MAIN
THEMES:
- Land Use/Cover Change and Land Degradation
- Impacts of Land Use/Cover Changes on Biodiversity Loss
- Causes and Consequences of Land Use/Cover changes
- Biodiversity Conservation and Management
- Extreme Weather Events, Socio‐Territorial Vulnerabilities and Impacts on Public Health
- Environmental Changes and Human Health: Impacts and Inequalities
- Distribution of Health Resources, Access to Health Care and Spatial Justice
- Local Resources and Regional Specialization
- Local and Regional Development: socio‐economic disparities
- Spatial Development and Territorial Cohesion
- Cross‐border Cooperation and Neighbourhood Policies
- Governance and Policies in Planning, Land use and Biodiversity
