Lunch Meeting: Malaysia
Project Leader Norman Backhaus will talk about his past and current research in Malaysia and wants to discuss ideas for future research topics. With a focus on spatial appropriations by different stakeholder groups he looked into eco-tourism in Malaysian national parks but also at the governance of street vending in public space. Plans for future research revolve around the governance of nature conservation.
