The book encompasses theoretical and applied aspects, using both thematic and regional case studies from India, to highlight the impact of human-environment interactions at various spatio-temporal scales, with each study focusing on a particular anthropogenic issue, particularly in an Indian context. The book's three focal themes (e.g. habitat linkages, ekistics and social ecology, hazard and environmental management) elaborate the essential components of human-environment interactions with nature, its impact on the surrounding natural and social environments, and management techniques through research innovations. Readers will learn how maladjustments, disturbances and disasters are often inevitable byproducts of human-environment systems, and what conceptual and practical strategies can be applied towards sustainable coexistence. The book will be of interest to students, academics and policymakers engaged in environmental management, human-environment interactions and sustainable development.Advances in Asian Human-Environmental Research,1879-7199Environmental managementUrban ecology (Biology)Physical geographySustainabilityHuman geographyCultural geographyEnvironmental ManagementUrban EcologyPhysical GeographySustainabilitySocial and Cultural GeographyEnvironmental management.Urban ecology (Biology).Physical geography.Sustainability.Human geography.Cultural geography.Environmental Management.Urban Ecology.Physical Geography.Sustainability.Social and Cultural Geography.304.20954RukhsanaMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483363203321Habitat, Ecology and Ekistics2587224UNINA
