Communities, Nature and Sustainability

Semester One

Module leader: David Skene

This module explores the importance of rural areas by investigating the inter-relationship between humans and the natural environment. The way we think about the natural environment influences the way in which we manage the natural environment, and in turn the strength of our links to the natural environment influences the ways in which we think about it. This module emphasises the inter-relatedness of the physical, social, and cultural links with the natural environment and the implications of this for what we mean by the term “rural development”.
