Objetivos

This curricula unit aims to study spatial planning (SP) and geographic information (GI). The SP component´s main objectives are:

-  Study the SP in its multiple facets, as a scientific discipline, an administrative technique and a policy that develops an interdisciplinary and integrated perspective.
- To explore the fundamentals of performance in Spatial Planning, presenting different approaches to Planning and Land Management.
- To acquire knowledge of the instruments that support the land management, through its study and the environmental and landscape variables integration mechanisms associated with them.

The IG component provides an introduction to the development, terminology and application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS):

- To provide a description of the scope and nature of the GI studies.
-To define the nature of GIS and the key components of the geographic information.
- To establish the relationship between technology, data, methods and organizations in the use of GIS.
- To identify the key issues related to the design, establishment, operation and problems associated with the use of GIS.

Resultados de aprendizagem e competências

The first part of the syllabus covers a number of important concepts base and sources of information for land management including planning and land use planning. Also deals with various instruments and tools available for the formation of a technician involved in spatial planning issues. It also addresses the importance of incorporating green areas and coastal environmental protection to improve the economic development of regions.

The second part of the program, in laboratory classes, in geographic information lectures, it is intended that students acquire concepts of territory and land management through geographic information systems and using IT platform to apply to concrete data of territorialinformation and works with it into GIS environment.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

Spatial planning (SP) component

Participative and expositive method, being privileged interactive training in the introduction of theoretical concepts. It is intended to lead the students to draw conclusions, guiding them in the process.

The evaluation of the theoretical part is carried out by continuous assessment by performing 2 tests. The practical component is assessed by conducting practical research work to be carried out in an integrated manner with GI component to present at the end of the semester.

Geographic information (GI) component

Participative method, being privileged interactive training in the introduction of theoretical concepts in IT platform of geographic information (GIS).

The evaluation is carried out through practical work proposed to be developed in GIS to be held in an integrated manner with the SP component

The course has a practical component in addition to the theoretical in order to illustrate in practice, the theoretical concepts by the use of the problem base learning methodology (PBL) in order to develop in students: 1) the ability to research, application of scientific method and organization of written and oral work; 2) skills 'know-how' to acquire knowledge in teamwork; (3) develop critical spirit on the land area of the territory and geographical information. The teaching methodology refers to the lecture method of the syllabus, with the support of slides that accompany the class, as well as examples and case studies and the resolution of some exercises in the TP classes, in order to students understand the concepts and to apply them in practice if they need to develop some work on SPGI area. The use of GIS software platform in laboratory classes allows students to better understand the potential of GIS tools in territorial management. All material classes and syllabus is provided in the Moodle platform. How develops the teaching methodology of the course of SPGI enables students to achieve great success in the course.
