{"c_title":"[M3551.000500] Biodiversity and Environmental Planning","c_info":"2 credits | Lecture\/Seminar | Master | Dept. of Landscape Architecture","c_summary":"As the global biodiversity loss is accelerating, the conservation at the local level becomes important as well. Therefore, it is crucial how to assess and promote the local biodiversity of the area, not only in the new development projects but also the existing environmental management process. In this process, our understanding about the complex ecosystem needs to be simplified with the concept of habitat. For this, analytical thinking about the quality, spatial characteristics, and management plan of the habitat is required. In this course, using Habitat Evaluation Procedure (HEP), we will discuss the biodiversity conservation plan of the site based on the quantitative and scientific evidences, and discuss how to achieve the plan in a reasonable way."}
