Territorial Planning Methods

Objectives

Approach to key concepts for understanding the nature of geographic information and Geographic Information Systems. Identify the importance of Geographic Information Systems in the present and in the future. Use of GIS software, for practical application of the concepts covered. Visa, moreover, provide students with a set of statistical tools that help investigators to better identify spatial patterns observable in natural or natural-anthropogenic variables. Importance to a group of models that allow the diagnosis of cause-effect relationships in the study area will also be given. Finally aims to meet regulatory instruments of the territory. Being able to relate a regulatory with its territorial expression text.
