Initiatives for Regional Development and Environmental Management (IRDEM) in cooperation with Department of Urban and Regional Planning (DURP), Diponegoro University will host the 3rd International Conference on Regional Development (ICRD). The upcoming 3rd ICRD will be held on 9 – 11th November 2016 in Semarang, the capital city of Central Java Province, Indonesia.
The 3rd ICRD is aimed at providing a medium for exchanges of knowledge, information and experiences on the implementation of urban and regional concept around the globe.
This year the Conference would address a theme of “Enhancing Resilience: Bridging Knowledge and Policy for Cities and Regions”. Bridging relationships between resilience knowledge and policy making plays the key for actualizing the concept into the real-time adaptive behavior of stakeholders, particularly in response to cope with growing threats of climate change and extreme weather as well as the other global environmental changes such as deforestations, land degradations, heatwaves, pollutions, floods and earthquakes. Additionally, urban and regional development dynamics itself present other forms of shocks and stress affecting urban resilience. Thus, population growth or decline, economic stagnation or crises, and political instability remain a challenge for urban and regional resilience everywhere.
The targeted participants are those who have already got involved or interested in urban and regional resilience issues, ranging from academics, practitioners, decision-makers, urban and environment experts, social activists, policy advocates, non-governmental organizations and students.
All participants must register for the conference. Early bird registration opens from 16th May to 22nd July 2016 . After this date, higher registration fee will be applied. All registration due is 10th October 2016. ICRD also welcomes submission of papers in all area of regional development which related to urban and regional resilience.
