The aim of ICSHGE18 is to bring together a top field of researchers, scientists, engineers, scholarly students and persons from local and international businesses and governmental organisations. The conference targets individuals and organisations to exchange and share their experiences, novel ideas and research findings regarding all aspects of sustainability, human geography, environment and interdisciplinary societal studies – and discuss the practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted during such experimentation.
