The Faculty of Engineering Economics and Management of the Riga Technical University, in cooperation with the European Academy of Land Use and Development (EALD), from 7th to 8th September organized already the 8th International and Interdisciplinary Symposium “Changes in Land Use Management Practices”.
LIFE CoHaBit project was invited to participate in the symposium with narration about the project and its activities; the project also provided the symposium participants an opportunity to go on a small tour through the Garezeri surroundings of the beautiful Nature Park “Piejura”.
The symposium aims to focus on land management tools, taking into account the changing needs, in order to promote sustainable development.
The main topics that form the basis for interstate discussions and comparisons are, for example:
- territory planning strategies in urban and rural areas;
- land management in suburban areas;
- institutional measures for urban-rural communication;
- methods for evaluating strategies and proposals.
Given that the LIFE CoHaBit project territory – the Nature Park “Piejura” – is a place where the interests of various sectors – forestry, agriculture, culture, recreation, tourism, education, and nature protection – meet, as well as that the Nature Park has several landowners and managers, the LIFE CoHaBit project is a very interesting subject of discussion both from the point of view of spatial planning and management.
