General information
The course aims to provide postgraduate training for future key job holders and physical planners in the coastal area. Participants are the present and future section heads and prospective directors of coastal agencies. The agencies include national and provincial governments, large municipalities and special task forces. This range of backgrounds is intended to enhance interdisciplinary communication and improve the understanding of the priorities and approaches of the different government bodies involved.
Course structure
The course consists of lectures, demonstrations and workshops. The guiding line through the whole course is the idea that a coastal zone should be regarded as an integrated system. This will be illustrated by using several case studies in several countries.
One of these cases (the fictive estuary of 'Pesisir Tropicana') will be worked out in a work-shop. In the case studies, the Coastal Zone is regarded as a coastal water/land body in the sense that there are demands for various products and services that the Bay and it environs can supply - that is, it is a multiple-use resource. The regional economy of the area used in the exercise is similar to those in many coastal areas of the world, particularly in developing countries.
Upon completion, the participant should be able to learn the need for an integrated approach of problems in the coastal zone and become familiar with the multidisciplinary aspects of ICZM which is vital for sustainable development.
The aim of the course is to learn the need for an integrated approach of problems in the coastal zone and to experience that a multi disciplinary approach is vital for a sustainable development.
