Course Objectives: | This course aims to enable students to understand the principles of the concept of sustainable development in general and to think in a versatile way especially in terms of environment. This course focuses on the concept of Sustainable development that is organized in meeting human development goals while maintaining the ability of natural systems to provide the natural resources and ecosystem services on which the economy and society depend. Sustainable development differs from the concept of sustainability by adding the 'future' factor. Although sustainable development is a major subject with many sub-sections, the course covers the knowledge and skills that form the basis for understanding the concept, especially in the context of environmental quality. |
The students who have succeeded in this course; 1. Can state and explain the principles of sustainable development 2. Knows the basic concepts of sustainable development. 3. State and define the relationship between selected global topics and sustainable development. 4. Knows the basic global problems in terms of environment. 5. Can explain the current status of the above-mentioned objectives globally. |
