Description
The natural environment is both the context within which all human activities take place and a social product of those activities. Environmental planning begins with analysis of the physical, biotic, socio-economic and cultural context in which environmental conflicts occur. An array of analytic tools ranging from cultural to socio-economic and ecological approaches are then applied to specific questions. Some of these are locality specific, but many also involve larger scale regional process and social movements.
