The 8th International Conference on Sustainable Development and Planning is part of a series of biennial conferences on the topic of sustainable regional development which began in Greece in 2003. The papers included in these proceedings report on the latest advances from scientists specialising in the range of subjects included within sustainable development and planning. Planners, environmentalists, architects, engineers, policy makers and economists have to work together in order to ensure that planning and development can meet our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations. The use of modern technologies in planning gives us new potential to monitor and prevent environmental degradation. Problems related to development and planning, which affect both rural and urban areas, are present in all regions of the world and accelerated urbanisation has resulted in both the deterioration of the environment and quality of life. Urban development can also intensify problems faced by rural areas such as forests, mountain regions and coastal areas, which urgently require solutions in order to avoid irreversible damage. The papers in the book cover the following topics: City planning; Regional planning; Rural developments; Sustainability and the built environment; Sustainability indicators; Policies and planning; Environmental planning and management; Energy resources; Cultural heritage; Quality of life; Community planning and resilience; Sustainable solutions in emerging countries; Sustainable tourism; Learning from nature; Transportation Social and political issues and Community planning.

With majority of the Earth’s people now urban dwellers, and cities being the most efficient habitat for the utilisation of resources, it is imperative that we continue to support standards of living and efficiencies of urban areas. However, the urbanisation process has not been without its problems. While much has been done to address the original issues surrounding the quality of urban life, new challenges continue to arise. It is no longer sustainable to achieve improvements by means that require greater and greater energy consumption as we did in the past. Despite their complexity, however, cities are a great laboratory for architects, engineers, and other key professionals to apply new ideas and new technology to meet our requirements for more sustainable city environments. Containing papers presented at the latest in a series of conferences organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, these proceedings, split in to two volumes address not just environmental, architectural, and engineering concerns, but also quality of life, security, risk, and heritage. The diversity of topics and the case studies based on existing projects make the book an important contribution to the literature on urban planning.

The biennial series of ECOSUD conferences, originating from the work of the late Nobel laureate, Ilya Prigogine, challenges us to seeking to integrate thermodynamics, ecology and economics into “ecodynamics.” It is not only a platform to present novel research related to ecological problems from all over the world, but it also gives opportunities for new emergent ideas in science arising from the cross fertilization of different disciplines, including mathematical models and eco-informatics, evolutionary thermodynamics and biodiversity, structures in ecosystems modelling and landscapes to mention but a few. This book contains papers presented at the the Eighth International Conference in the well-established conference series on Ecosystems and Sustainable Development. Conference topics include : Greenhouse Gas Issues; Ecosystems Modelling; Mathematical and System Modelling; Natural Resources Management; Environmental Indicators; Sustainability Studies; Recovery of Damaged Areas; Energy and the Environment; Socio Economic Factors; Soil Contamination; Waste Management; Water Resources; Environmental Management; and Modelling of alternative futures.

New opportunities for solving the challenges of contemporary architecture occur as a result of advances in the design and new building technologies, as well as the development of new materials. Many of the changes are motivated by a drive towards eco-architecture, trying to harmonise architectural products with nature. Another important issue is the adaptation of the architectural design to the natural environment, learning from nature and traditional construction techniques. Contemporary architecture is at the threshold of a new stage of evolution, deeply influenced by the advances in information and computer systems and the development of new materials and products, as well as construction processes that will drastically change the industry. Never before in history have architects and engineers had such a range of new processes and products open to them. In spite of that, the construction industry lags behind all others in taking advantage of a wide variety of new technologies. This is understandable, due to the inherent complexity and uniqueness of each architectural project. Advances in computer and information systems, including robotics, offers the possibility of developing new architectural forms, construction products and building technologies which are just now starting to emerge. Changes have also taken place in the way modern society works and lives, due to the impact of modern technologies. Patterns of work have been disrupted and changed, affecting transportation and the home environment. The demand is for a new type of habitat that can respond to the changes and the consequent requirements in terms of the urban environment. This volume originates from the 8th International Conference on Harmonisation between Architecture and Nature and deals with topics such as building technologies, design by passive systems, design with nature, cultural sensitivity, life cycle assessment, resources and rehabilitation and many others including case studies from around the world.

Achieving the 'lofty Goal 4' of the UNSDGs, which aims to 'ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all', 'will require the entire education system to be reconfigured'- a fact as aptly underlined in the National Education Policy 2020 of India. This would essentially entail putting in place a very effective educational governance devised and formulated on the basis of cutting edge research outputs. Three Volumes of the present book is a modest yet maiden attempt to comprehend and unfold the blending of diverse research methodologies and amply demonstrate, through empirical findings, that innovative policies and interventions curated on the basis of this approach of research can ensure quality education. Governance emerges as one of the core areas for research. Therefore, Volume I provides a wide canvas of governance in general and educational governance in particular for research along with a unique opportunity to elaborate both the theory and practice of Quantitative, Qualitative and Participatory Methodologies in researching governance that is the frontier challenge looking for suitable answers. Volume II uniquely comprehends multiple aspects of quality in dynamic and wider perspectives as perceived by the primary stakeholders including community. Refreshing insight into the quality perspectives of educational governance will facilitate the researchers to explore innovative interventions in respective areas of human development. 'Community' is the third constituent of governance along with the 'state' and the 'market'. Therefore, Volume III explores a futuristic vision of community governance leading to quality education. Also an attempt has been made to critically appraise the provisioning of community governance including the local self-governments as well as free and compulsory elementary education. The Book is a live comprehension of the conceptual framework of research and methods along with handling of research problems at the ground. It is like explaining 'how to' by giving suitable case-studies conducted by the authors on educational governance. It is hoped that the three Volumes will be an exciting learning experience that would enable us to address researching challenges over which the public policy makers, researchers, development administrators, planners and students may build their concepts, logical structures and planned interventions facilitating the achievement of effective educational governance at micro-level ensuring quality education in the coming decades.
