CBMN 330 - Natural Resourc Mgmt & Sus Dev

Unit(s): 4

This course looks at human-environmental relations through sociological and anthropological lenses/perspectives. Key concepts such as culture, social structure, and agency are applied to Philippine and Asian case studies that demonstrate how human interaction with the environment and their resource management practices are embedded in society’s norms, institutions, social organization and culture. Case studies will highlight different resource management regimes in the upland, coastal and urban environments. The course will also examine the iterative relationship between natural resource utilization and management practices and the prevailing development paradigm in particular societies.
