由研究資助局資助、THEi園藝及園境管理 (榮譽)文學士課程就城市綠化基建的議題，舉辦一系列的研討會。城市綠化基建系列研討會第四場次「構建和諧之境—可持續而有效的斜坡鞏固生物技術」已於12月16日假香港中央圖書館演講廳舉行。
是次講座獲發展局—綠化、園境及樹木管理組、香港園藝專業學會支持，旨在探討如何通過可持續而有效的生物技術以鞏固斜坡。出席的講者包括: 漁農自然護理署 梁芷茵博士、 香港大學生物科學學院 侯智恒博士、土木工程拓展署 陳雪瑩工程師，以及美國伊利諾伊州博林布魯克林業部負責人 米勒先生。他們分享於香港和美國等地如何通過使用可持續而有效的生物技術來鞏固斜坡。講座吸引了超過110名來自不同界別的人士參與，當中包括樹藝師、園境師、園藝從業員、研究人員、大專及中學教師和學生等。
是次研討會有效地讓公眾了解以可持續而有效的生物技術對於斜坡鞏固的重要作用。本次研討會是城市綠化基建系列研討會的最後一場，亦在此鳴謝大學教育資助委員會全數撥款資助。
Financed by Research Grants Council (RGC), THEi Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Horticulture and Landscape Management programme offers a series of seminars related to Urban Green Infrastructure. The forth seminar “Sustainable and Effective Biotechnical Techniques on Slope Upgrading” was conducted on 16th December, 2017 at Hong Kong Central Library Lecture Theatre.
The seminar series is in collaboration with Greening, Landscape and Tree Management Section of Development Bureau and Hong Kong Institute of Horticultural Science. Speakers of the seminar include: Dr. Flora LEUNG Tsz Yan, from Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department of HKSAR Government, Dr. Billy HAU Chi Hang, Programme Director of MSc in Environmental Management, School of Biological Sciences of HKU, Ir. Lily CHAN Suet-ying, Geotechnical Engineer of Civil Engineering and Development Department of HKSAR Government, and Mr. Stephen Philip MILLER, Supervisor of the Forestry Department of Village of Bolingbrook in USA. They shared their experience about how to upgrade slopes through sustainable and effective biotechnical techniques in Hong Kong and USA. This seminar drew over 110 participants from various sectors, including arborist, landscape architects, practitioners in slope engineering industry, lecturers in tertiary institutions, researchers, university and secondary teachers and students.
The aforementioned seminar enhanced the public awareness of the importance of using sustainable and effective biotechnical techniques on slope upgrading. The is the last one in this series of seminars and we would like to acknowledge RGC for supporting this seminar series fully.
