Scope

The aim of our Conference is to fill these often used words like Tourism, Cultural landscapes, Sustainable Approach with contents, with actual meaning and experiences not restraining from concerns, solution ideas and best practice implementation reports. The start and the end point is Man. All human beings of our days live in a rapidly changing, globalising, technically rushing world, where we want to stay connected to our well and long-time built relations: friends, family, home, town, forests, sea and sun. It also embraces architecture, nature, traditions, arts and learning. The speed of vehicles can be used for the benefit of transportation, the opportunity to visit distant territories and what is included: architectural works, works of monumental sculpture and painting, elements or structures of an archaeological nature, inscriptions, cave dwellings and combinations of features, geological and physiographical formations, works of man or the combined works of nature and man as the World Heritage Convention says. Contact has already been established by the World Heritage and Sustainable Tourism Program identifying its vision as it follows: World Heritage and tourism stakeholders share responsibility for conservation of our common cultural and natural heritage of Outstanding Universal Value and for sustainable development through appropriate tourism management. It would be an honour and benefit for all of us, if numerous participants would share their proficient knowledge about this world wide important and relevant subject.

Main scientific topics (corresponding to which your presentation has been classified):

1. Associative cultural landscapes - world Heritage and its changing inter-relationship between tangible and intangible
2. Landscape (social, economic, cultural and ecological approaches, sustainability and role in tourism
3. International policies and programmes, trans-boundary landscapes, the future of landscapes
4. Planning and managing landscapes including Cultural Ecosystem Services, individual and social well-being in relation to cultural tourism
5. The role of innovative technologies in landscape research, presentation, documentation, preservation

Requirements of the Posters

Contents

Mark the following data on the poster:

• Name, position, work place, scientific degree of each author
• The title of the poster

A scientific poster – similarly to the presentation – is to include an introduction, methodology, outcomes and conclusions of a research presented in a concise form that can easily be understood and reviewed as its main purpose is to show a complete issue.

The main aspect of preparing a scientific poster is that it should be a summary and its text could easily be read. In order to reach this, it is advised to use enlarged characters and line distances, the crucial points could be highlighted and the main arguments could be supported by diagrams, tables, illustrations or pictures.

Researchers presenting their poster also have the opportunity to publish their study in the electronic conference volume, if they send the full text by the given deadline (30 April 2016). The formal requirements of the articles can be found in the downloadable templates on the web page. The proof reading of the articles for submission is the responsibility of the authors.  Articles exclusively written in perfect English and proof read will be published.
