| Description | Chapter describes activities in a study programme undertaken by the Dept. of Geography, Faculty of Science, Masaryk University, in the city of Brno. The sustainability teaching/learning was based on the educational taxonomy of Krathwohl emphasizing such methods as joint deduction, induction and abduction in study groups, and emphasizing fieldwork in the Deblín-town, near the city of Brno. It was also based on the cooperation of the university, the Deblín primary school and the Deblin town community. The project also involved the municipal authorities of Tišnov, their Department of Environment and the public administration of the Deblín microregion. We have included the main stakeholders/actors for the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment for their important role in cultural landscape ecosystems sustainability. Studying environmental perception and participation and the application of GIS technology within the framework of multiple methodology in geographical research based on field surveys provided new knowledge. |
