SEAGA International Conference 2017

Jakarta, Indonesia
28 Nov 1 Dec 2017

Hosted and organised by Universitas Indonesia
Kampus UI Depok, West Java, Indonesia

SEAGA, the Southeast Asian Geography Association, established in 1990, is a
regional association of geographers and other academic, education, government,
and private sector professionals in related fields like history, the geo- and
environmental sciences, and urban planning. The 2017 conference will be the
13th conference organized by SEAGA.

The conference theme is: Geography for global understanding: sustainable
changes in environment, society and people and we are inviting
multidimensional perspectives on this issue from scholars, policy makers,
entrepreneurs, and teachers. The aim of the conference is to advance the
discourse on the issues of environment, society and people, so as to inform the
decision-making and actions of society, private enterprise, and governments.
This theme was chosen based on the Declaration of 2016 as the International
Year of Global Understanding (IYGU) at the International Geographical Union
Congress.

The main sub-themes of interest include:
Changing Physical Landscapes in Southeast Asia
Living with Global Environmental Change
Geospatial technologies and their contribution to Southeast Asia
Economic growth, competitiveness and sustainable development


Changing Population, carrying capacities and ecological footprints

Sustainable Development and Southeast Asia
Geography of Cities
Geographies of rural transition
Changing Agriculture in SE Asia
Gender Geographies
New regionalisms in Southeast Asia
Geography Education
Field-based issues for geography and geography education
