ILASA CONFERENCE
The 2016 ILASA Conference will be held on 29 & 30 September 2016 at the CSIR, Pretoria. Global conditions and awareness are changing the value people attach to landscape in unprecedented ways. Central to the concept of landscape are visual and spatial dimensions that form the basis of human experiences but also affect ecological functions. In urban and rural areas how we regard and respond to the landscape in our daily activities are altered as we face approaching social and environmental challenges. With these challenges interrelated disciplinary fields are expanding and sharing arenas of interest involving aspects of the landscape such as natural resources, land use and land-cover. The 2016 ILASA Conference considers the re-interpretation of landscape significance in the spheres of ecosystem benefits; social meaning; global changes; and regeneration. The conference inquiries about how perceptions of landscape are changing in the African context and beyond, and how these manifest in the projects executed in South Africa and other countries. Join us on Thursday 29 September 2016 for the cocktail event where you can converse with the speakers. network, avoid the afternoon traffic and enjoy some great snacks and entertainment. The cost is R250 per person. We will also be announcing the winner of the student competition. Further details on the programme content and speakers will be launched soon. Keep an eye out for further marketing on the Conference. | |
