Department of Grassland and Landscape Shaping

 The Department of Grassland and Landscape Shaping was established in 1945 and has been operating under its present name since 2007. In 2016, the Laboratory of Landscape Studies and Spatial Management was established within the structure of the Department. Currently the Department has 10 academic staff, who deal with teaching and research activities.

The Department of Grassland and Landscape Shaping today is a flourishing and expanding academic community committed to high standards of research. The questions we ask and methodologies we draw upon, embrace the natural and social sciences.

Research is represented by our four main scientific disciplines:

  • Agriculture and horticulture
  • Socio-economic geography and spatial management
  • Environmental engineering, mining and energy
  • Architecture and urban planning

However, our work brings us into contact and collaboration with many other disciplines to address the challenges of a changing world.

We offer courses prepared by our experienced lecturers in the fields of:

  • Revitalization
  • Spatial management
  • Grassland science
  • Forest and open space shaping
  • Spatial planning
  • Geographic Information Systems and Sensing Remote
  • Smart City
  • Spatial design
  • Construction science
  • Urban and rural planning
  • The theory and analysis of systems in spatial management
  • Agri-environmental policy
  • Engineering graphics

Our students leave with a deep awareness of the role played by the built environment in bringing about social, political, cultural and technological change, and our alumni have gone on to blaze trails across the landscape of rural and urban planning, as well as a wide range of other careers.
