This course is designed for students interested in forest and nature management, particularly those studying to be forest and landscape engineers or those with a background in science.
Course Description
The course provides an introduction to law as a discipline, focusing on administrative law, which forms the basis for the handling of cases by authorities. It covers the legal rules regulating land use and the protection of nature, landscape, and cultural monuments. The course also delves into specific regulations such as planning and zoning systems, protected natural types, building and protection lines, conservation, forest conservation duty, and agricultural duty, among others.
