About this Unit
This unit will be replaced by 300632 - Living in Country from 2010. This unit aims to develop the student's urban planning perception by adding a natural ecological dimension and by introducing the concept of human ecological interaction within this dimension. A number of pertinent environmental planning issues relating to water, air, land and noise pollution will be introduced and strategies for determining sustainable solutions will be discussed. During practical sessions the realities of water and land monitoring and management will be addressed and the results related to the development of a regional environmental management plan.
