Overview
The main objective of this program is to provide students with multidisciplinary theoretical knowledge and practical skills that are necessary for the application of systemic approaches towards optimal management of societal-territorial structures. The development will be perceived with regard to its economic, social and environmental connotations. The study develops the system knowledge necessary for the optimal use of territorial prerequisites with special attention to the implementation of development projects and tourism, which is an increasingly important factor in territorial development in all geographical scales. Students will acquire deeper skills needed to find the procedural interplay of public and private actors of socio-economic development in the region. A systemic approach to regional development is a characteristic feature of this program.
“Place is the base.”
