This chapter is based on the most recent and related literature explaining various scenarios where learning management systems address learning issues in the digital environment in a way that was not possible in the previous confines of print logics

Indigenous Cultural Knowledge for Therapeutic Landscape Design

The meanings of place and the relationship between place and health have culturally specific dimensions. This is of particular importance for indigenous people and communities as often regarding landscape as part of a circle of life, establishing a holistic perspective about health and wellbeing.
