Abstract
Independent development of decision bases and preparation of concrete project documents in connection with practical spatial and environmental planning problems.
Objective
Students know different GIS-based analysis techniques and methods for application in landscape and urban areas and can use them to assess sustainable land use in the planning process. The interdisciplinary skills of project management and teamwork are promoted.
Content
By using current problems from the practice, an application-oriented task of sustainable settlement development is introduced. The systematic procedure and the choice of suitable planning and analytical methods will be learned and applied to a concrete project. The results of the analyses are used to develop proposals for solutions. Different alternatives are evaluated and discussed with selected indicators. In addition, exercises in project management and teamwork will be conducted.
