The course identifies what constitutes the natural environment, which can be aggregated into land (and all that is on it: landform, vegetation, soil and animals), water (and what resides in it: fish, organisms as well as related issues such as saline and fresh water) the atmosphere and climate (strata, composition, circulation). It examines the distributions of these constituents all over the world and the factors influencing growth and/or development and their global distribution as well as the changes in them brought about by human activities. 200 level

The effect of the international situation. The capital market and the principles governing interest rates and yield market analysis. Structure and environmental surveys and reports for valuation; the mathematical background and construction of valuation table.

Concepts in landscape and environmental design - Basic elements of landscape - Climate and landscape design - Landscape design goals, processes and analytical methods - Landscape construction materials and methods - Planting design - Management of landscape in the context of environmental planning. Current innovation in landscape and environmental design (great green wall project) will be examined.
