Main objectives can be summarized as follows: to understand the basic interaction between humans and nature and landscape ecosystem as capital with services for people and biota to learn the practical applications of sustainability in regional policy to analyze the impact of human activities upon physical landscapes to elaborate the ways of balance between nature protection/conservation and human needs to delineate the principals of precautionality, inter-generation and actual responsibility to understand and analyze relations of economy, society, culture, politics, ecology and technology
