Contributor Nadin, V. (mentor) Viganò, P. (mentor) Faculty Architecture Department Urbanism Programme European postgraduate Masters in Urbanism Date 2011-07-01 Abstract This thesis is about the development and testing of an approach that addresses the particular challenges of remote rural settlements, due to conflicting trends of outmigration and rural repopulation, and relates to the planning processes which affect them. Key to this approach is the optimisation of ecosystem services. This is based on the hypothesis that this can inform more sustainable settlement patterns through ecology and economy.
