"The management of space is one of the big challenges that human societies have to deal with. Competing claims over the use of finite resources have pushed human societies to develop institutions, technologies and paradigms that help manage these competing usages. Challenges like increasing urbanization, the depletion of land and other natural resources, and climate change make this management of space ever more urgent.\nThe governance of land and urban development is essential when considering development approaches to support sustainable futures. As a concept, governance encapsules (1) Multi level co-ordination and multi-faceted problems; (2) Multi actor networks, and (3) Multi-instrumental steering mechanisms. This implies that an understanding of problems, actors and steering mechanisms involved in the governance of land and urban development is necessarily focused on the context in which a certain problem is placed and how it can be addressed by the governance settings available.\nIn this course we focus on key concepts of land and urban governance. The aim is for the student to gain a background in (challenges of) governance of land and urban development, that will influence how individuals, organizations and institutions work towards land and urban futures. An additional challenge in the course is inviting the students to reflect, discuss and imagine different land and urban futures. "@en . "Land and Urban Futures"@en . . "Land and Urban Futures"@en .

"Fieldwork is often an essential component to acquire reference data for calibration and validation of the remotely sensed observations. This course provides skills and techniques to plan, execute and report on field observations. The course starts with an introduction to in-situ field measurement devices and lab equipment, and demonstrates standard operational procedures when analysing samples in the laboratory. Subsequently, students have to design their own field data collection based on a self-defined objective, e.g. which parameters are required and how to conduct sampling, which instruments are required, how to measure, sampling procedures and storing of samples. Considering focus group interviews how to prepare the questionnaires and review of ethical considerations. Another element would be the timing related to eventual satellite overpass or image acquisition in the terrain and collection of available information from installed in-situ measuring devices. \n\nBeing well prepared, a 3 day fieldwork is envisaged for practical collecting data in a fieldwork area with participants from multiple disciplines: water, natural and earth resources. \n\nOnce back, the data collected has to be analysed in the lab or subject to further processing. In the end, students are required to present their results obtained and have to report on the procedures applied, reflect on the quality of obtained results, and describe their analysis conducted into more detail.
