- Summary:
- Money fields such as economics and development, biological fields such as agriculture and plant physiology, social sciences such as sociology and communication, and environmental sciences such as landscape planning and geography are part of the collaborations described and demonstrated in this volume. The goal is to introduce others to a range of approaches for collaborative research regarding landscape development. Among the topics are improving water management in two polders in the Red River Delta in Vietnam, developing and applying a landscape design method in the Frisian Lakes area, implementing adaptive collaboration forest management in Zimbabwe, and two spatial planning cases illustrating reflexivity in action research.
