Identerra Forum*

The Identerra Forum on landscapes, identities and sustainable development has been created to promote online discussion on the topics of the 23rd Session of PECSRL.
Professor Paul CLAVAL, such a highly distinguished scholar, has accepted TERCUD 's invitation to be the first Editor Emeritus of the Identerra Forum and has prepared the following two texts as initial inputs for launching the discussion in this Forum:
Text A: "NEW STRATEGIES FOR MANAGING LANDSCAPES AND STRENGTHENING IDENTITIES AS TOOLS FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT" (pdf)
Text B: "THE IDEA OF LANDSCAPE" (pdf)
In order to facilitate a focussed discussion, both texts are brought to the Identerra Forum website by thematic sections, and the online discussion inputs from the Forum's participants will appear in a chronological cascade within every thematic section that is discussed.
Under the Forum's heading "AD HOC VIEWS", the participants are welcome to contribute to the sections Comments and suggestions, References and reviews, or News.
Discussions and other inputs to the Identerra Forum can be multilingual, i.e., carried out in all official UN languages, and their authors bear sole responsibility for the quality and/or comprehensibility of contributions.

*The "Identerra Forum" is named after a major TERCUD's research project "IDENTERRA - Territorial Identity in Regional and Local Development: The Oeste Region of Portugal" (FCT/SAPIENS POCTI/GEO/48266/2002), financed by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology . The PECSRL 2008 is actually being organized as part of that project.
