The course "The Environment of the Balkan-Anatolian Region" is dedicated to the ecological and geographical characterization of this region. It focuses on studying the natural and anthropogenic processes that determine the state of the environment and the key geo-ecological issues within the region—specifically their causes, regional distribution patterns, and the principles and modern methodologies applied to address them. It also covers the rational use of natural resources, approaches to environmental protection, and environmental monitoring. The course aims to develop students' specialized professional, social, and personal competencies. It fosters skills in critical thinking, analysis, and synthesis, as well as the ability to locate, process, and analyze information from various sources. Furthermore, it cultivates the capacity to identify, formulate, and solve problems in the fields of geo-ecology, nature management, and environmental protection. Specific components of the course include the study of individual geographical elements; the anthropogenic factors that play a major role in shaping environmental conditions; the principles of the rational use and protection of landscape components; and methods for the rational use of natural resources to achieve sustainable development.
