Description Requirements

The Master teaches students how to make a useful contribution to improving place-related liveability, quality of life and wellbeing in society. Students become professionally competent in the field of geography and liveability so that they can make a useful contribution to improving place-related liveability, quality of life and wellbeing in society. The master deals with the qualities of a place (neighbourhood, village, city, region) that add to the quality of life as experienced by inhabitants and visitors. Aspects that influence the liveability of places and communities are safety, health, quality of the residential environment (housing, facilities and services), social interaction and participation, community involvement, options for recreation and tourism, quality and unicity of the landscape. Feelings of rootedness and belonging, but also curiosity and excitement about new places, positively influence the liveability of places at local, regional, national and global levels. This will enhance social cohesion, community resilience and the potential of people and communities to innovate and adapt. The yearly fieldwork trip will take place from October 2-7, 2016 in Belfast, Ire
